Visited the Arkwright Arms yesterday, in deepest darkest Duckmanton.This was fortunate because they had seven Thornbridge beers on, allowing me to sample Jay Wick, a very nice American pale ale, and Hopshock , which despite its title, has a nice malty flavour. I also sampled the all-natural Moravka Czech-style lager ; a bit fizzy but tasty. If you're of the cider persuasion, there were no less than 11 on plus 4 perries. A small plug, if you please. http://www.arkwrightarms.co.uk/index.html There's some nice American beer about lately. High Sierra Stout is a good one, and Brooklyn Brown Ale is also nice.

Couple of pints of Red Lion (Ossett) Summer Solstice over dinner at the Fighting Cock. Delicious summer ale.

It might surprise you to know that I haven't a clue what you're talking about, given how many times I've contributed to this thread!

You really ought to try it Karlos. There's a real ale out there to suit every mis-guided lager drinker
