When I was young beer had names like Brew Ten and Red Barrel! Today there really are some very strange names out there. Presently I'm drinking one called Old Codger, what odd beer names have you noticed. Are any any good?Happy

    Proper Job, best bottlled beer you can buy and British if your into IPA, I find it just a shame that the best IPA's are American ... must be the hops.

    Definitely  a  "Personal  Taste"  really,  I  must  recommend  a  trot  round  your  local  s/markets  &  any  other  retail  outfits  to  gather  a  good  x-section  to  sample  at  your  next  Barbie  !!  Then  make  a  list  to  stick  on  the  fridge  door  (  assuming  you  can  remember  your  favourites  wink )

    There used to be a "Type 45" down this part of the world which, for the uninitiated, is a class of naval frigate.

    Think you will find the Type 45 is a destroyer, Cy - as in HMS Daring.  (I served in Diamond (D34) for a short while - last of the post-war Daring class)

    The best beer I have ever tasted, I  found in "The Rose & Crown"  at Trent Nr Yeovil Somerset.   It was Wadworths "Swordfish"  Apparently a special to Celebrate 100 years of Naval Aviation, - The name Swordfish commemorating the WW2 Biplane not the fish.

    The beer itself was based on Wadworths 6X with a Rum infusion!  Lovely!!!
