Pure-Brewed was always the first to sell out, and I can only agree with the comments that it is an excellent beer.<br /><br />ps. Having been to Aying on a couple of occasions it's difficult to compare the real thing with the contract-brewed Ayinger Lager that Sam's used to do. From memory though, it was pretty good.Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3076725205410370436.post-65277940199049447232010-06-05T16:09:31.947+01:002010-06-05T16:09:31.947+01:00I sing the praises of beer,

Bottle wise, Sam's recycle all their bottles, so this could be a fair few years old...<br /><br />Had a great pint of Old Brewery in the Golden Ball in Scarborough at the weekend - £1.52 is on the expensive side!ChrisMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09088526990457894540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3076725205410370436.post-28555806741960449032010-04-29T20:48:03.073+01:002010-04-29T20:48:03.073+01:00Bailey — you’re right, I’m seriously disaffected w...Bailey — you’re right, I’m seriously disaffected with Zatec these days, even though it’s a 1001 beer written by the magnificent Evan Rail — maybe we’re not getting the freshest supplies.Adrian Tierney-Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421802854011395300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3076725205410370436.post-37606784767211574322010-04-29T20:43:28.064+01:002010-04-29T20:43:28.064+01:00I think it's really pretty decent -- I prefer ...I think it's really pretty decent -- I prefer it to Zatec, for example. In the pubs, they serve it in that beautiful tall glass and (usually) with a big fluffy head. Often my first pint of the night in a Sam Smith's pub, especially on a hot day.Baileyhttp://boakandbailey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3076725205410370436.post-15161662845437968202010-04-29T20:23:11.943+01:002010-04-29T20:23:11.943+01:00Mine was in a 500ml one and even though I like a ...Mine was in a 500ml one and even though I like a lot of liquid, I did think that the bottle with its broad, padded, spiv-like shoulders reminiscent of Private Walker’s off duty jacket was a bit old fashioned. I like 600 ml chaps, long and sleek, Italian suits of packaging, unless it’s an ‘Italian suit’ that was designed by the south London tailors that my late father in law suggested for wedding day, I shouda gone to Next. That taught me.

Their russian stout is good as well and under two quid in Taunton at the County Stores, purveyors of esoteric foodstuffs to West Country knobs.Adrian Tierney-Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421802854011395300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3076725205410370436.post-65393444829810600602010-04-29T11:02:41.028+01:002010-04-29T11:02:41.028+01:00I agree it's a nice lager.

Their organic wheat beer fails to hit the spot but for a really cheap pint their old brewery bitter is a decent beer and low on pong.Cooking Lagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830924433230427226noreply@blogger.com
