Doubt it'll make it to Florida, though. Sigh. I've never seen any of their non-historic beers, either.

Good Old Boy and Mags Magnificent are my particular favourites. G.O.B. has a very well rounded flavour, no lemony bitterness on the finish but not too sweet either. The flavour oozes out of every pint. I now find myself driving the twenty miles from Oxford to buy the bottles, which of course never beat cask ale but are good nonetheless (unlike TT's - Landlord which is ghastly out of the bottle). <br> <br>If you would like to sit in the comfort of a traditional pub yet still savour the delightful ales of West Berkshire Brewery visit either:<br><br>The Bell Inn, Aldworth<br> <br>Pot Kiln, Yattendon.<br> <br>Believe me, well worth the journey plus you can make amends for such an unforgivable omission from your blog.<br> <br>Sincerelymoochhttp://www.moochuk.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558429009751308005.post-89042392952569036222009-10-05T02:40:12.100-07:002009-10-05T02:40:12.100-07:00There are hundreds of unforgiveable omissions on m...There are hundreds of unforgiveable omissions on my blog, of which this is one!
