Your favourite micro-brewery outside of sussex?

[The Large One]

Did you remind them of 'that' game?

It wasn't so much their football loyalties (Man U if anything), it was their undying support for Nick Griffin...

The beers not great. Go for the tasters in the bar

I've just done the tour now tasting all their bar. I've got to say Decade is a lovely pale citrusy number, black bess stout is nice, pioneer is ok-ish, centurinons ghost is a dark strong ale, very nice.

1 Sarah Hughes Brewery at the Beacon Hotel Sedgeley. Always enjoy a pint of Dark Ruby, whenever I come across it.

2 Palmers of Bridport, my favourite IPA.

3 Donnington beautiful spot and the beer isn't bad

Sarah Hughes Ruby mild, as it used to be called, is lovely stuff and gives a lie to the fact that mild is low gravity drink (it is around 6 percent I think). Remember having some once in the Goldon Galleon at Cuckmere which used to brew a decent drop of ale itself as well as stocking some decent guest ales, now sadly just another food pub I believe.

Westerham Brewery also brew a nice drop just around the corner from my ma in law.

Does my Garden Shed count as a micro brewery

I've heard about people brewing in their own shed. Thats about as micro as they come.

Poachers brewery in Lincolnshire is pretty good-a mate of mine's the brewer.
He does an Xmas ale called Santa's Come. Try ordering a pint without sniggers from the
bar staff!

Sounds like a fun night

there used to be a micro brewery in the bowling alley at Surrey Quays. quite odd and out of place, but it served a very pleasant light, caramel tasting lager.

Well outside of Sussex - Dogfish Head Brewery, Delaware USA and Full Sail Brewery in Oregon USA. Both wipe the floor with Harveys IMHO.

I wouldn't say that.

And you're wrong about one of them being "well outside of Sussex." Dogfish brew their beer in the town of Milton in Sussex County, Delaware. It's about five miles west of Lewes.

Trailhead Brewery in St. Charles, Missouri is always fun.

REST OF THE WORLD
Dominated by the USA, obviously, I favour Boston Beer Works (two brewpubs in Boston, one in witchity Salem, all brew on site) which always have 12+ of their own beers on, usually - in true American microbrew style - including several fun flavours, eg pumpkin, blueberry, vanilla, maple syrup, etc. Chelsea Brewing Company in NYC is a more flaccid second place.


Thanks for asking x

That's rancid.

I do love elderflower in my ale and very occasionally some of the niche ones with a hint of lime or strawberry. But those flavours sound horrible.

Is the Three Tuns at Bishop's Castle, Shropshire, still brewing?

Not heard of that one before.

 

[DerbyGull]

Thornbridge (their Jaipur IPA is ACE, and they now have a reciprocal agreement with Dark Star so we should be seeing a lot more of it down here)
Oakham (for JHB and Bishop's Farewell, not just the Attila, which is lovely but 7.5%....)
Wye Valley (always brings back happy memories of the Hereford game!)

It's nice, but strong mind, wouldn't want to be on it all night.

Bishops is Loverrly. But white dwarf is even better.

 

[tedlit]

Rogue Dead Guy Ale - brewed in Newport, Oregon.. and last bought in Oddbins in Haywards Heath.

 

[Lincolnshire Seagull]

Another small Lincolnshire brewery is Tom Woods. I like their Hop & Glory - very hoppy

 

[essbee]

Woodforde's North Norfolk based brewery...

Nelson's Revenge.....nice!

 

[luke17]

Goddards on the IOW is a lovely tipple.

Is the Three Tuns at Bishop's Castle, Shropshire, still brewing?

Yep, still going strong, and with the Six Bells Brewery at the bottom of the hill. Two breweries in a town of less than 2000 people, that's just f***ing greedy.
