tinfoilhat Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Cripes - where to start? There are literally HUNDREDS. I like some of the Thornbridge ones, Jaipur and raven in particular but I'm more into the darker real ales at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walkley Dave Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Dram Shop is good. Beer Central at the entrance to the Moor Market is excellent too. Bradfield stuff is excellent and they do a gift pack I am sure. The man at Beer Centrai is very knowledgeable as you might expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny5 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Depends on how Real you want it. Thornbridge beer is great but it isn't live (no sediment). Whatever your specific requirements though Beer Central or Archer Road is the best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alternageek Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I bought my other halfs birthday gift from here and he loved it. Got him a mix of things and reasonably priced: http://www.alesbymail.co.uk/ lots of unique and interesting ales on offer and only £7 shipping for up to 12 bottles (out of the 8 ales I got him, only two werent bottled conditioned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sierra Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Sierra Nevada Pale Ale I'm not a beer fan, but I will drink this stuff. It's wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Thornbridge ale is filth. Be a better idea to run to the Bradield Brewery and buy a keg from them. Think they start from around £8 for a 4 pints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
