Great beer the ol' spitters, one of Mrs d' indica's favourites. It's in our local Sainsbury's for a quid a bottle so we stocked up.
Sadly, even though we get H-P down here, none of this. We did get that awesome Paulaner special, though. The big oil can packaged in the giant ein Maß mug.
Old Speckled Hen is an ale and Boddingtons is bitter though? Also OSH is better from a bottle.
I recommend this, Bass Pale Ale. Been in Sainsburys and Asda for £1.25 lately.
Hmmm... I thought OSH was pretty good in a Nitro. May need @Torontoblue (or someone similarly qualified) to comment (rather, clarify), but there's a sharp contrast between the English and American draft beer. American beers have much more carbonation, and English beers on draft in the US can't really approach the native flavor; the Nitro cans do a really nice job of approximating the natural draft feel and taste (at least as memory serves). For that reason, OSH and Boddington's are comparable and I'll put them in the same group (also, Boddington's claims to be a Pub Ale, but that's little difference to me whether it's a bitter or ale.)
I have a couple of microbrewers in the 'hood, so I've been drinking the local mostly for awhile. These guys are at the beach, and I've been drinking a lot of this lately.

Nothing beats fresh beer.
This.
If its beer or bread, fresh is always best. The process is about the same: grain + yeast + water + time.
The Oktoberfest continues in our brilliant local offy, we've just picked up a new batch. First up is one from the US though, Flying Dog's Dogtoberfest Marzen, gorgeous.. like drinking beer toffee.
Another Heller, a wheat version of their Maerzen smoke beer, looks like a coke float! Not mad on this myself, Mrs d'indica loves it though.
Does that have a smoky flavor? Tried the Sam Adams/Longshot (home-brew) Gratzer and wasn't a huge fan of the smoked beer flavor.
Also, how does a brewery named Heller sell dark beer?
No, but if I remember correctly, the box suggests that if you're out of gold, frankincense, or myrrh, it's not bad to bring along some Adoration as a gift

Having a hard time with beer at the moment! Prices of imports has risen stupidly the past few months, and I`ve been stung and had so many drain pours, that I`m just getting fed up and now I`m back to drinking wine. A basic imported 6 pack is around $22.00, and a 650ml is about $12 to $14; for a few dollars more, I can get a good Cotes de Rhone or Tempranillo! The local brewers don`t really do stuff I like, so they don`t help much, and their pricing is almost as much as imports. Can you believe there is no year round stout or porter in Edmonton??!!??
Yeah it's very smoky and dark, but with a cloudy wheat beer style, doesn't do it for me at all. The first one we tried from them was a very lightly smoked lager, that was really nice. We've picked up their Maerzen dark smoked beer as well, got a feeling I'm not gonna be too keen on that either.
Can't find much info on the brewery, looks like a really small traditional place.
