Betty Stogs and 6X. Kept properly, a pint of 6X is truly excellent. So many of the new small indy breweries are producing beers that are too heavy, too sweet and taste too similar. When I were a lad, my favourite glug was Kings and Barnes Sussex, when is was still brewed in Horsham. About 3.2% ABV. You could drink it all night. And we did... ;-)

Re: Beer and cider

Gotta be Skinners, Betty Stoggs, cracking ale...also the Autumnale, Wickwar Brewery - strange, its a tiny village in Glos, and I lived there for 5 years - lots of memories of going down to the brewery at a young age, getting a 4 pint milk bottle filled up for a couple of quid....ahhh, memories...

King and Barnes is no more, the brewery is now converted into luxury flats :(

Horsham has 3 brewerys now though: Hepworth & Co, Weltons and WJ King & Co. Also has a beer shop.
