Bit average this. Got a badger brewery selection box and far prefer the Hopping Hare

Generic supermarket real ale, same as Hobgoblin etc.
Probably the reason it was on cheap!
Blandford Fly and Cranborne Poacher are quite nice if either of those are in there?
Sadly not.
There is: Golden champion, the fursty ferret, hopping hare, and Tangle Foot.

I get given bland supermarket ale every birthday and Christmas. People think they've made an effort to give you 'real ale', but I haven't got the heart to tell them it's crap. lol
Tanglefoot ain't bad actually

Ain't good though.
The problem lies with the fact that the little breweries, can`t compete with the big boys and the way the supermarkets do business and hold a gun to the suppliers heads over costs.
The only supermarket that I`ve found, that has a really good range of bottled ale from smaller breweries, is the Lancashire and Cumbrian supermarket, Booths.
The likes of Asda / Tesco / Morrissons / Sanisbury etc, all tend to sell much of the same stuff

Cains seems to be cursed.
On a side note, the old Cains Brewery Tap, still remains closed, despite the fact that the Baltic Market and Punch Tarmyeys next door, are both bouncing.
Rather delicious keg red as I enjoy the Belfast sunshine. Usual deal, will update as I go.
Garrick Bar and Sunflower two good spots for trying out some beers in Belfast city centre.
