Timothy Taylors cask ale is hard to beat when properly served in a pub up north.
If i’m drinking lager from the local supermarket I’ll go for Estella as it’s a decent brew and made in Barcelona unlike many other beers which are just mass produced in the UK.
My favourite brewery is Hopstar from Darwen, they do an ale called Lush, and it’s still my favourite 11 years since 1st tasting it.
