    Hobgoblin is sooooo good. I’m from the US and it’s imported here, I just tried it for the first time last week and it is now my favorite beer ever! Thank you England.

      I have not seen a single one from this list where I live in the United States. I will have to travel abroad to try them. I have had a few English ales. Samuel Smith's Nut Ale, and a few other craft ales. I had one years ago that was a banana bread beer that came from England.

    London Pride and Old Speckled Hen is available here in Sweden (we have to buy strong beer in state controlled monopoly stores). I really love them both. I also bought Hobgoblin in a food store. It was good, but due to Swedish regulation, the amount of alcohol was only 3.5% by volume. I guess the original beer is stronger? Usually I prefer lager, but British ale can be quite delicious.

    For anyone wondering about the footage of the festival used in Hobgoblin's advertising - that's the Bloodstock Open Air festival held in Catton Park in Walton-On-Trent, Derbyshire. It proudly boasts that it's the "UK's largest independent metal festival", and works closely with Hobgoblin in its Metal 2 The Masses initiative, a national competition for unsigned metal bands to win a chance to play at Bloodstock on the aptly-named Hobgoblin New Blood stage.
    And in pretty much every bar that isn't tied to a specific alcoholic beverage (such as the Kraken or Jaegermeister tents), there's always Hobgoblin available.

    I'm glad you put Old Speckled Hen on. It was brewed in my local town until the late 90's. If I want Ale it's my go to Ale. At 5% it packs a punch.
    They do Old Golden Hen and Old Crafty Hen now as well.

    Newcastle Brown used to be a great beer but since it was taken over by Heinekin and brewed by John Smiths, it's absolutely terrible. Doombar is nowhere near as good as it was now that Molson Coors own it.

    I lived in England in 1980, and I remember Whitbread Ale, Watney's Red Barrel, Wadsworth 6x, Ansell's, Sheffield's Best Bitter, among others. They were great beers, but I think they have largely disappeared. I also liked Brains Best Butter brewed in Wales. Great beers.

    Would like to hear from an Englishman/ woman on their thought on the best English bitter. Not long ago most Americans would hv told you Budweiser( was the best), only becuz it is widely distributed as they spend millions on advertisement. Budweiser is horrible. So just becuz it is the most popular and widely distributed don’t mean a thing. I lived in England in the 80’s And fell in love with the English bitter ales , something you can not really get in America. Please give me your favorite English bitter now days. Cheers!

      Oh don't even. I work for an ***undisclosed family holiday resort company*** in Somerset (I'm a Yorkshireman) and the amount of people we get moaning about the head on their pint is ridiculous. For example, just the other day we poured someone a 4 pint pitcher with a 5% (Because by law any pint or pitcher has to have a 5% head) and the guy was like "what the fuck is that, fill it up, I run a pub, I never put a head on pints or pitchers". My team leader turned round and said: "Since you run a pub, you will know what License holders can do" He replies: "Yeah, anything, you having a fucking laugh?" TL responds: "Exactly, they can do anything and you're now being refused service, please leave the premises or we will have security escort you out" Customer: "You cant do that" TL: "We can, and we are. Maybe next time you should accept having a head on your beer"

      I'm not even British, I'm from Canada, and if anyone pours me a beer with no head on it, I get pissed. Especially if it's an ale, porter, or stout. I rather drink directly from the bottle than have a poured beer with no head or head retention. That's why I love beers like Duvel, it's hard to pour a duvel and not get any head

  • @Cashback13
    @Cashback13 4 роки тому +1

    The beers on the list have mostly been put together by someone who's clearly not been to many UK beer festivals and tried enough of a Range of ales. Even though this Vid is coming up 3 years ago, pretty much all of these ales are just trading off the name and have been bought out by big companies that have sweet F.A to do with the Brewery itself. (Even Hobgoblin has turned to the dark side now)
    The notable exception in terms of a quality product in the glass is Thornbridge JI-POUR Not Jay-pour as this idiot pronounces it. It's the only one that is still properly independent (Although they do have a second brewery now) but the quality is still good and it's a unique beer for sure.
    The rest are poor or bang average now they are mass produced.

    • @lordevyl8317
      @lordevyl8317 6 років тому

      The only GOOD guinness in North America is the the Guinness FOREIGN stout (which is ACTUAL Guinness imported directly from Ireland). The Extra Stout in the US is made by Moosehead in Canada. However, it still beats the Guinness that's actually in Canada which is brewed by Labatt/Anheuser Busch-Inbev. Everything that In-Bev touches turns into shit. The Guinness in the US tastes more like a watered down porter. The one we get here is worse since it tastes like a watered down Schwarzbier
      That's why when I go for an Irish stout here, I usually go for Murphy's
