A thing of greatness.
Why not try some Leffe Brune?

Leffe bruin?
That's bloody horrible, but not as bad as the radieuse stuff. La Guillotine or Delerium Tremens for the win.
Scotlands BrewDog are amazing, and even bloody America is kicking out some fantastic ales and beers with flying dog, goose island and brooklyn beers at the moment.
Also, I live 5 minutes from a pretty damn good beer shop in SW London, it helped me choose my house.. . :)

Heineken brune exists
it is often only available in Autumn though, as tends to be seasonal. Grolsch did a passable bok beer in autumn too.
The beer shop is Nelsons in Colliers Wood, though there is now a good place in Borough market too - I forget the name. Just check the dates in Nelsons, he is not averse to trying to shift old stock, which is why I haven't bought any of his 35 rums yet...

Bitte sehr
I do love my beers, proper ones. Got some Czech microbrewery ones in my belly right now that a friend brought back for me -if you are a Londoner, then check out the White horse, Parsons green for some of the best taps and frequently changing beers I've found yet. MASSIVE choice and a well educated staff too. :D :D

I've heard good things about the Borough market one
but I've never got off my arse to get down there on and actually have a look. I think the main thing putting me off is that I'd have to carry anything I bought back on the train, whereas my local Sainsburys has a decent beer aisle and I can drive there.

Brewdog is a good choice from there,
or get crates delivered. There's also a good chocolate shop in Borough which is good - they have different conch time chocolates, single origins and cocoa solid percentages. I'd visit there and then stop off at de Hems in Chinatown for some Belgian beers on tap if you live North.
Oh, I'm only *slightly* enthusiastic about tasting things, wine tasting courses next and getting stuck into the chocolate club! :D

Punk IPA?
That stuff is NASTY! Too hoppy by far. You feel good in the morning though, so I guess it's not all bad.
My current approach is to hit the Great British Beer Festival in the summer and see if any of the breweries there sell direct over the internet. Quite a few of them do. Can thoroughly recommend Bath Ales for that.

Ahh, my (ex) local beer!
Punk IPA is good but Hardcore is hoppier -they have a 4 pack with the same base ingredients but different hops in each one, awesome idea. Try Trashy Blonde for a lighter style beer. Tribute is awesome too though I'm still loving Amber beers as it's not too warm yet. Golden Champion by Badger and Golden Glory are awesome too, though Glory is very peachy and best in the summer. Jeeze, I'm getting thirsty again now...

Badger Beers are very popular down my way
so I know them well.
Might give the Trashy Blonde a go. And I've been meaning to have a crack at one of the evil ones - Tactical Nuclear Penguin seems like as good as any.

It's a strong one.
Not had it yet as it's about 40 quid a bottle. Beers like Bush though I found to have a strong whiskey like kick that didn't rock my world so I'm not pushing them. I do like some of the Belgian triples and quads though, so will try at some point. Be interested to hear what you think if you have some!

I'm...
...a big fan of Stouts, Milds and Porters.
Since moving away from Wales though i've been missing my Brain's Dark and it just isn't the same from the bottles I pick up from Chepstow occasionally.
Haven't come accross many decent ones in the area i'm in at the moment. Local offies and supermarkets have a limited selection.
Local Lidl did have some Oyster Stout in, tasted a bit like sea water though...
I shall peruse this site with intrigue...
