What is the best "real ale" in the world?

"Real Ale" is premium brewed beer using only natural ingredients.

Technically it’s First Gold by Badger Brewery, which won Double Gold at the Brewing Industry International Awards last year and which is a damn nice ale (tastes a bit like how i imagine Christmas would taste if it were an ale)

However, I would say TANGLEFOOT also by Badger Brewery is better. It’s slightly dry but heart-warmingly rich. Mmmmm I can taste it now…

Oh and this ale won Best Beer in the World in the B.I.I Awards in 1987. And although that was quite a while ago it doesn’t make it any less true…

—————————–

Or if you’re after something a bit different (also from Badger Brewery – god I love that company) is GOLDEN GLORY. And no I don’t mean the debauched sexual act of… well I won’t go into details if you don’t already know.

It’s kind of fruity in a hoppy way whilst still being quite bitter and satisfyingly thirst-quenching – and I’ve never tasted anything quite like it since. A very fun ale!

  6. As a CAMRA member (aka anorak), I have tasted a few hundred ales and my vote would go to Hop Back Summer Lightning. It is, however, a very subjective subject. If readers dont drink real ale, I urge you to experiment, there are thousands available and you will find some you like.

    In winter you can’t beat a good pint of Port Stout from O’hanlons
