It is, in my experience. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

Thanks guys! I'm in Credit Cards in Bank of Ireland but still do one or two evening shifts in the off licence. Its great news alright, I'm dying to taste it myself!

As for the others, here's the first list available:

(Brew - Brewery)

Tiger - Everards
Everads Original - Everards
Shropshire Lad - Everards
Double Dragon - Felinfoel
Crow Valley - Cwmbran
Manchesters Finest - Hydes
Castle Eden - Camerons
Strongarm - Camerons
Pale Rider - Kelham Island
Pitchfork - RCH
Old Slug - RCH
Beautiful Daze - Otter
Otter Bright - Otter
Otter Head - Otter

Just have to pick which we want now! I'm particularly interested in the The Otter Brewery, the Pale Rider and the Old Slug. Any advise or requests?

On a side note... Now that most of my evenings have freed up, i'll be hoping to join you guys for drink alot more often!

Hopefully these should all be regular!

That's great news! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> Some lovely beers there, especially the Landlord and the Kelham island Pale Rider both of which are former Champion Beers of Britain. Have a feeling the Shropshire Lad you mention is from Woods of Craven Arms in Shropshire rather than Everards. But hey, another great beer for us to imbibe so no nitpicking!

Castle Eden's the only one of that lot I've tried. It's a decent workaday English bitter of the sort you wouldn't be overly impressed by in England but which would be a very welcome addition here.

Plenty for us to discover in that list, well done McHughs (and especially HA!)
