    To be honest though, I really prefer St. Austall's Black Prince.
    Nah, since they stopped brewing Wreckers it has to be HSD.
    Though for St Austells best product it has to be the Walter Hicks 125...but that ain't beer

    Ah, yes. Hick's Sudden Death (especially if you're drinking it at the brewery and have to walk down the iron staircase afterwards). I'm still more partial to Black Prince though, what can I say? I'm a Black Ale man.

    To those somewhat confused, particually those accross the pond, we are talking about West Country Beer.

    Specifically: http://www.staustellbrewery.co.uk and: http://www.otterbrewery.com.

    How is this relevant to the topic? Well, it demonstrates the principle that when the topic itself is ridiculously inane, men devolve to discussing the merits of various draughts.

    Apart from the Hicks 125 which is a fine South American Rum.

    various draughts
    So, you refer to the cask/keg varieties, not the bottle? Or are they the same product, in your opinion?

    p.s. thanks for the clarification for this old Yank. :)

    Cask beer is much more superior to bottled.

    Which reminds me of an old joke.

    A woman goes for IVF treatment. After the consultation the doctor asks her to go behind some curtains, lay on the couch and remove her underwear. She does as she's told and lies down, legs akimbo and waits. The doctor appears, only this time he's naked. She jumps off the couch and shouts, "What the bloody hell are you doing?". He approaches her and says in a calm voice.

    "I'm sorry love. we've run out of the bottled, you'll have to have the draught".

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

    Correct, a little too fine for this student to get a bottle for his Father, sadly.

    Generally speaking bottled English beer is a varriation on the cask. All the ones we're mentioned are cask beers, some (like HSD) are also bottled, others (like Black Prince) are not.

    As IA says, cask is best. Beer is only really bottled for home consumption, which might be deemed anti-social in some circles.
