Right just a quick question here, just wondering how many real ale drinkers are on BCF?

Also anyone a member of CAMRA like me? Smile

I took it as you were calling me a bearded old codger. Razz

I'm not a bearded old codger, but am definitely a real ale drinker. Not a member of Camra either, but have a been a visitor to Frocester and Cardiff's Beer festivals most years for about the last 10 to 12 years or so.

Would Grolsch count? Wink

My dad used to drink real ale, tried it once and it turned my face inside out! Sick

So do Adnams and hobgoblin count lol?
I have no idea if they are brewed using traditional ingredients and left to mature in the cask.

I think they throw in free CAMRA membership when you join the IAM. Seeing as you already have the beard and cardie, it's a shame to waste it, apparently.

Still, beer snobs, bike snobs - what's the difference?

Yep

Used to drink lager but over time I started drinking more and more real ales. Guess I have grown old and beardy Laughing

On wednesday nights a few of us go the pub and there's usually a good selection of around 12 pumps on in the local.

If I absolutely MUST have a 'bleeding out of my ears, brain spinning head full of chemicals' hangover then it's obviously back to lager and 10 pints of staropramen for the win

I've started drinking "real ale" recently when at home or having a few in a pub but lager still has its place on nights out and the like.

I'm not a member of camra and I don't feel the need to go round being a drinks snob to people either, stop being a tit Craig, drinking real ale doesn't make you special, especillay with your bullshit attitude that comes with it. Rolling Eyes

Dont drink lager, cant drink cider and dont drink spirits, its ale-type or nothing now. And really it needs to be off a proper tap, not the pressurised shit. I thought about joining CAMRA, i still might, not really sure i can afford it right now.

Canterbury has lots of good pubs about, i like Adnams (i think it is broadside, cant remember), Flowers, a local beer called Whitstable IPA. More common stuff like Greene King IPA, Bass, Shepherd Neame beers is fine too.

I am 20 and a student, but then again people say i am a grumpy fuck too so maybe i fit the stereotype after all.

That would be me then, i love it Laughing

i just got into drinking it... and not stopped.
Not a member of CAMRA (parents are -mainly for a evening of free drinking when they joined) but i have not been tempted to join... too much just to just drink beer Rolling Eyes

I do get the odd look from bar maids/men when i order a pint of what ever i chose but it just makes me laugh to see the shock on their face sometimes (provides a talking point at least! Wink

)

I don't see the need for a campaign for it as long as I keep buying it. If I'm out I'll drink whatever I feel like, and I feel that the Camra bunch do a great injustice to Stella, Staropramen, Bitburger and the like, cos as long as they're kept well they're as good a drink as any. Having said that I'll happily drink Spitfire, Tanglefoot, Golden Glory, IPA, Truimph, Skullsplitter, Hobgoblin, Speckled Hen......

.... Ah fuck it, I'll drink owt. Embarassed
