Next up, a really excellent ambree, Charles Quint, from Haacht in the Netherlands.

This one's at La Buvette, spilling out onto the street from a cave style bar that's covered in decades of stickers.

looks brilliant, oozing character and atmosphere.

Partly what attracted to me to the craft IPA scene was the higher alcohol content without sacrificing taste. The stronger ones often taste better to me. I'd drink the equivalent of 2.5 pints but feel like I've had 4 or 5 of a lager equivalent.

You can get 24 of Camden's Off Menu IPA (5.8%) for £31 on Amazon, which I'm tempted by. I'm not a fan of buying alcohol in bulk as it just increases the rate in which I drink it.

agree m8 , it's very tempting but good for special occasions.

You can still get reasonably priced cases ( 12 bottles ) from the likes of Brimstage ( Wirral ) and Purple Moose ( N Wales ).

Craft ale is always more expensive, as it`s " trendy ", there`s loads of reasonably priced " real " IPA`s on the market.

Yep some really good IPAs, I've noted some from a Glasgow Brewery and theyre really good quality.

The little tap room and old bank ale house are ok

How about they were both “decent” on the one occasion I went in ? Not my neck of the woods, I was going to watch South Liverpool FC.

Had a look at the The Little Tap Room's Facebook page ; seems they sell a preponderance of IPAs and pale ales - not really to my taste.

On the other hand, the Old Bank House looks much more promising.



Anybody else have any recommendations ?

Nice! Always remember one of my first nights living in Germany. That bottle reminds me. One of the German university students told me “l am going to teach you the most important word in German: ungespundet—-unfiltered”

It’s a bit of a pub desert around there tbh.

Lark Lane a bit further up is a better bet, with much more choice
