Went out yesterday, a few lovely pints of Youngs Special, then a couple of ride before hitting the 99p a pint Courage Best in Wetherspoons.
I don't remember too much after that

NickCook - how do you know it was nice then? Pehaps you meant to say 2I had my son's Speckled Hen yesterday"??

I had a sip after I'd poured it out for him (that way I knew I'd get a taste!) I had a bottle of Marston's Double Drop, which was also nice, but not quite as much!!!

I then had half a bottle of red wine with lunch, followed by a couple of glasses of port while I washed up!!

Real cider quite often gets included at real ale festivals - so i don't see why not!!

On the subject of Real Cider - Aspalls from Suffolk is very nice and becoming more widely available too these days. Might even be a bit too mainstream for some of these real ale festivals now!
