From the same brewery, Fuller's 1845 is (sort of) Pride dialled up to 11.

EDIT....Thread title changed as other beers / Ales are available....
Just tried London Pride this last week.
Very nice ! Need to find a pub with draft at some point.
Any other suggestions to try ?

Not sure they serve it north of the border !
Will try and check out.
Badger: Furst Ferret, Tangle Foot, Blandford Flyer
Brakspear Oxford Gold
Adnams Broadside (but take it steady if you are a light weight like me)
Anything from Otter Brewery if you are down in Dorset
Ruby Rooster from Lidl is also very good.
And so many, many others.
Don't drink the stuff myself but if ever you're down South, the Fuller's pub in Chiswick does the best pint of Pride you'll every have according to my brother in law.
Stands to reason, they brew it next door!
I had my first pint of Pride in 1985 in Hammersmith age 19. It's fair to say a few have passed my lips since then!
One of my favourite pints (weird for a Yorkshireman) local has it as a guest ale, white witch is on at the moment - highly recommended
All this talk is making me thirsty...
Bye..!

Living near Burton on Trent Marstons Pedigree is good round me. As is Bass. Thornbridge as brewery is one of my personal favourites. Jaipur IPA is a good one of theirs. Their based in Bakewell but have got a few pubs in Sheffield.
As has already been said there loads and loads.

I'll generally take a drop or two of 'Pride' at the Turk's Head in St Margaret's when I'm about.
"Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action."
"You gotta know when to hold em and know when to fold em".
One of the few ales that I can reliably get over here, it travels okay.
Back in the UK I usually gravitate towards Adnams.
But not always.
Just so happens my company’s HQ is in Chiswick and I’m going there tomorrow, so I’ll have a taste 👍
Adnams Ghost Ship
Lovely beer with a really distinctive taste.
Thanks Alan. Your efforts are greatly appreciated

Pendle Witches Brew. From t' wrong side of't hills, but simply sublime.
Best Regards - Peter
I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.
I've been in the US for two weeks, this thread has left me craving beer that isn't extremely cold and fizzy!
I feel your pain. Been in Indonesia for 11 months and apart from the odd visit to Singapore I can get nothing but fizzy dishwater.

I'm having a brewery tour & tasting at Fullers next week and very much looking forward to it!
I drank a couple of jugs of the stuff in there on Saturday before the game!
I have to say LP is my least favourite beer, which is a shame as it brewed about a mile and a half away from my front door and most of my local pubs are Fullers owned.
Ghost Ship is my all time favourite pint, broadside it pretty tasty as well.
Up the road from me is a small brewery called the Long Arm Brewing company, well worth a try if you can find it. It's brewed in the pub and they have started to sell it to other pubs in London. The beers are called
Lucky Penny
OK IPA
Birdie Flipper
Shadow Wolf
Well with popping in to the Ealing park tavern if you are in the area.
I understand they have also opened a pub in the city on Worship st next to Liverpool st statuon

Can't say I've found many ales I don't like, but I'm a fan of Ringwood Brewery (near where I grew up) and Hogs Back Brewery (near where I've lived for the last 30 years or so) products, bias maybe
St Austell beers stick in my mind as good, Proper Job, especially.
I'm partial to a pint of Sharps Doombar, too.
Fuller's Honeydew is a cracking summer beer.
The Swan in Staines do a nice selection of beer and used to sell one with a nautical name, but I forget what it was now! Seafarer's maybe?

I'm not a fan of Pride. I'm spoiled rotten as I live near the Harveys brewery...
Plenty of craft beers and ales in the US.

Depends where you are - Hard to find anything very exotic in LA, but Portland (OR) is heaving with micro breweries.
If you're in Santa Monica, a couple of us found a little bar that only serves 'craft beers' - A couple of hours later we left a little less clear headed than we arrived, which is why I can't remember its name or exact location!

I was down in Eastbourne recently so I tried a pint of Harveys bitter and was a little disappointed having heard how good their beers are.
I generally prefer lighter hoppy beers but generally I can drink any cask beer if it's in good condition. Ossett Brewery Silver King is one of my favourites.
London Pride's OK, not my favourite but very drinkable.
A bottled beer that's well worth a try is Green Gecko from Lidl. Don`t know who brews it but it's v. nice.

Pretty sure it’s made by fullers, I stayed in one of their hotels this week - chamberlain in london. Was cracking. Their frontier lager is

I've never met a Fullers that I didn't like.
When I think back to my younger days, things were usually pretty dismal. Your choice in most pubs was "bitter" (which was usually quite flavourless), "mild" (even more so), Guinness (expensive), or some vile fizzy yellow stuff.
How things have changed! Now we're almost spoiled for choice. It helps that my local is the brewery tap for Castle Rock, but plenty of pubs have a wonderful selection of tasty, well kept beer.
One of the few things about modern life that I do approve of!
Mix was popular when I worked behind the bar. I don't know when I last heard it being ordered. May request one next time I'm out and see what response I get.
They're doing a low abv 'table beer' that's actually alright, 2andabit%. However it's the same price as Seafarers etc. at their high 3-4%!
Absolutely my favourite brewery of the moment!

Back in the late 70s the only real hand-pulled beer in my part of West Yorkshire was Tetley bitter or Tetley mild. Mixed was quite a popular drink in the Tetley pubs (of which there were plenty) and I drank it myself for a few years.
Happy days.....but the beer scene is far healthier thesedays. Shame we've lost so many pubs, the concept of the drinking pub is virtually dead.
Paul
Going to try Adnams tomorrow night.
Jon, if I come over to Hull you can buy me all the beer you owe me for sorting your watches out, then stick a label on my head and post me on the train back to Wakey........I still recall you telling the tale about drinking 12 pints of draft Hobgoblin so there’s no way I’d go pint for pint with you......it wouldn’t end well!
Agreed, there are some super pubs in the old part of Hull........shame I wasn’t well when I visited last Christmas.
Most places have a few nice old pubs if you know where to look, thankfully the internet helps and it’s easy to do some homework before visiting.

Tesco are doing 4 bottles of ale for £6 for the rest of the year. The quaffables aren't included ie Wychwood Hobgoblin 5.2% and Bishop's Finger 5.4% both £1.25, Banks's Amber 3.8% £0.90p, so it's sensible to lay in supplies of the stronger ales, great value at £1.50 per bottle, eg. . . .
