Yearning for More British Ales

According to BA Goose Island Honker’s Ale is listed as being an English Bitter. Those beers are available in bottles.

It has been a very long time since I drank a Honker’s Ale and that was on draft.

Cheers!

 

I am not sure if this has been mentioned but if you find yourself in New Jersey, check out Alementary in Hackensack. I think think their Mr. Stevens will satisfy what you are looking for.

 

As an American who lived there and a member of Camra, any pub that has the cask marquee will serve quality ale. In London, I liked the Walrus & the Carpenter near the 1666 monument, excellent selection of ales, and the best bangers and mash!

 

If in California, 12 miles from LAX, cask ales to your hearts content at Yorkshire Square Brewery, brewmaster Andy Black. Distinction: selected for the English Cask Marquee, very few in the United Staes, second only in California.
As one who lived in England and a member of Camra, this place will feel like home. Beers from 3.5 - 9%; pales to stouts, over 10 selections. Gary Croft, owner and operator is a Leeds man himself , a transplant that wanted a local pub to call home. I love this place because it’s always thinking about how best to engage its patrons: Boxing Day dinner, recently a Stout/Porter fest (over 15 breweries) for St. Pat’s, always catch some football (soccer), especially a Leeds United game early in the morn. It’s grown from a mere four, bland walls to homey, hearty pub, fire in and outside, darts, corn cob skiddles, table games, best LA food trucks (gushing), a second home for me, lol

 

You and I are as one on the missing of Young's Oatmeal Stout. I lust for pints of that even now. It was a true pleasure and much enjoyed by myself. Only Young's I see very dependably is Chocolate Stout or Banana Bread Ale. Only got to drink one pint of Ram Rod, I wish I had many more of those, I sure loved it.

 

I just picked up a 6-pack of Wells Bombardier 11.2oz cans at a Joe Canal's in NJ. It was $10, which I thought was pretty good since I remember 16.9oz bottles to be around the $5 mark.
