I do have to say Devon and Somerset were a tad disappointing, wall to wall Proper Job, Doom Bar,and Tribute, with Exmoor Ales also, plus Otter, not a lot else...there seems to be a trend for Lager-ish 'beers' now, Sharps Atlantic for instance....I think I might be spoilt in Manchester and Stockport for the range of beers you can find,

Minimag Sep 2020 6:35pm, 21 Sep 2020 133 posts	0 Minimag Just spotted this thread, close to my heart! Does anyone else make their own? I brew using a BIAB method and store in cornelius kegs which would have CAMRA members spluttering into their jugs, but I think I come close to some of the better micro-brewery efforts, and certainly better than most commercial. I prefer light Summer type ales, and make a mean Summer Lightning and also Proper Job clones. Although lately I have been leaning towards the American West Coast IPA's
Ocelot Spleens Dec 2020 5:09pm, 13 Dec 2020 29,275 posts	0 Ocelot Spleens I used to, years back, never really got to grips with it, nothing wrong with how you brew if it tastes good......I used to be a bit precious and use a mash tun, grains hops, the works, never made 2 beer alike even when I tried. I should try again. Keg is the future, good beers made that way these days and they stop wastage. Very sad past couple of week, my local micro has re-opened as a take out, lloks very sad as a 'shop' rather than a proper pub. We're spending a few quid with them. I have a terrible fear for the future of non-food, wet pubs, as far as I can see covid is here for good, I can see laws being passed about serving food, space requirements, mask wearing and the like that will see the end of small bars and pubs and only chains and pub cos winning.
