Decent ales etc that come in cans

[brighton2015]

I cant decide either Ldn Pride (handy 24 pack for the base of my trolley) or Black Sheep from Tesco's (£8 or 8 but no box)? I like a fruity ale if there's any suggestions?

How much did that set you back?

Too much. £60. but my housemate loves his ales and I agreed to go halves.

You only live once

I love the fact that "session strength" is now a thing.

Session strength beer has been knocking about for years. Mild was invented for that purpose wasn't it??

I'm getting wainthwaites after someone a friend has agreed to take my booze down for me. Huzzah!!!

Out of those two, I think I'd go with London Pride. Most of the fruity ales are bottles only unfortunately. I've heard Old Golden Hen is a good festival ale. I've got some Fursty Ferret and Adnams.

Black sheep and fursty ferrets were my weapons of choice last year. Ferrets are more sessionable but black sheep is way tastier. Pride is also very sessionable but never had it from a tin

Just got a crate of 24 bevertown Gamma Ray American pale ale from our local ale shop in kentish town. (just opened and we've been far too many times already)

Not cheap to be honest but for the first 24 beers of the festival it's a great buy

Good choice! I'll be bringing 12 cans of Gamma Ray... plus maybe some Punk IPA as I hear that comes in cans now too.

Also some of my home-brew in a plastic bottle.

Slightly OT but I can't find any Brothers cans anywhere this year - is it just me?

Abbot Ale £4 for 4 cans in The Aldi - very nice

[Mickthefish]

For the budget conscious out there, just out of curiosity I've just bought a pack of four cans of brains best bitter for £2.99. Just tried a can purely for research purposes & it ain't too bad. From home bargains btw!

I'm heading there tomorrow then - quite like Brains SA!

I've looked everywhere for Brothers in cans. Can get them direct, but over £8 for delivery : http://shop.brotherscider.co.uk/collections/cans

Meant to ask - what's the Best Before Date?

[PiltonPorking]

Huh - good question!

The Backyard can I've just drunk was 5th June! Bit cheeky that, it wasn't advertised as out-of-date.

Tasted fine though.

The rest is in the garage i'll check the dates tomorrow...

[PiltonPorking]

The rest are best before sep-nov 15, just the Backyard stuff that's out of date.
