    Cobra is a good lager, if that's not an oxymoron.

    Much less gassy than most lagers.

    get on the ale though Rupert. Try a Meantime IPA, it comes in a champagne like bottle!

    Do you know, my Blackheath friend, that's a stunningly good idea!

    I'm going to nip out for a swift half.

    Now do I go to my village pub that sells Otter ... or to the one that serves the Scottish ale Deuchars ?
    (or Duck Arse as it's affectionally known down here)

    Otter is brewed in Ottery St Mary near Honiton/Axminster (between Exeter and Yeovil) East Devon.
    Supposedly draws it's water from a spring in the Blackdown Hills that feeds the River Otter.

    Do I live near there ? ....... no, not really, I'm about 75 miles further west in Cornwall.

    Our local Cornish brews are:
    Tribute and the stronger HSD (St Austell Brewery)
    Doombar from Sharpes Brewery (near Padstow)
    Heligan Honey and Cornish Knockers, etc brewed by Skinners, near Truro.

    Otter, all the way. Love a Doom bar when i'm down your way, but Deuchars is only average imho.

    Oh and SE10 is Greenwich, but i'm currently in New Cross!

    Meantime IPA is a great beer and a true IPA, how it was made back in the days when it had to travel by sail boat to India. Its fecking rocket fuel though so perhaps not a good intro for a young novice!

    The Doom Bar I mentioned above is probably a good beer to start with though. Spend a night in a real ale pub, i'm sure there's one near you and get wankered on real ale.

    Once you get used to it, you wont go back to lager unless you have to.

    Blackheath is SE8. Of course, SE10 is Greenwich. Duh!
    Grey matter evidently getting greyer.

    Deuchars is only 3.8% - but a fine quaffing ale when you have to get up at 6:30 in the morning and can't afford to be ....erm, "wankered", as you delightfully put it(!)

    The same pub sells Doom, as well. Choices, choices .... :o)
    [cite]Posted By: Off_it[/cite]ENOUGH Oggy - you're making me thirsty!

    He he .......!

    I'm sitting here with my jacket on, wasting valuable drinking time.
    Laters, folks.

    SE10 as you are local to were i grew up and the majority of my mates who i drink with are still in that area, so the likelyhood is i would be trying my first night of real ale drinking would be around SE London in general (probly deptford unfortunatly as thats were im from Sorry) but do you know anywere local you could recomened serving your Doom Bar which i could happily spend the night in and who knows we may have another ale drinker in the making.

    Doom Bar is a rare treat around here, but maybe try the Plume of Feathers in Greenwich or the Dog and Bell in Deptford Dog and Bell

    Or head up to London Bridge for the Market Porter!

    Seriously though, tell the barman that you're new to real ale and ask what they recommend.

    *edit* you can get doom bar in bottles as well and Bottoms up etc sell that sometimes

    *edit two* the Dog and Bell sells Doom bar!

    Ok cool i will have a look than ks for the link SE10 im quiet excited to have a night on the real ale now. So i saw a place called De Hems dutch Cafe on the Strand not were im looking for but just thought i would look in Lodon in general. So anyway this De Hems place, although Dutch looked like it had some ok stuff just incase, any recomendations for uptown that way as well mate. Might help for when i take the misssus up to London.

    I used to live in Holland (but was too young for beer or the other!) but Belgian beer tends to be the better beer.

    Get yourself the Good beer guide and have a browse. There are loads of decent pubs up town. Few guys on here would have a better knowledge on the pubs up there than i do.

    Ha ha ...... he is now....!!

    It's gone midnight and just back from the pub.
    And on a school night too.

    After years in Cornwall, seems like geography is no longer my specialist subject (!)
    Hopefully I can still remember how to find SE7 when I'm next up in a couple of weeks. ;o)

    If you ever find yourself in a curry house and having to drive home have a go at the non alcoholic cobra, its not bad at all.
    Its a shame pubs dont sell it (Well I haven't found one that does) because if you are forced to drink non alcoholic beer cobra is the best that I have tasted by a long way.

    Chin, chin.
