Several places. For starters try Blind Tiger, Hudson at W 10th or d.b.a. on 1st. ave near 2nd. Try any domestic cask micro over anything actually imported from the UK - some of the UK stuff is not actually real ale but...

Hey folks, On a trip to Victoria last week I had the real pleasure of drinking a glass of "Farmhand Ale" from the Driftwood brewery based there. This is a surprisingly great beer—ranks in the first tier for me—and I...

beer. Other slike this are Real Ale Pale Ale (Blanco TX) and the late great Pyramid Pale Ale, Seattle.

What about Boylan’s in Jersey? Is it too ‘cream soda’ like, as some others have mentioned? Not sure if it has real ginger in it, but it tastes good, maybe a bit sweet. I like the real spicy ginger beer, but I...

i had one ages ago and i generally don’t go for fruity beer, can’t stand lambics (although i do like sea dog’s blueberry and apricot, dogfish’s aprihop, and unibroue’s ephemere) the mango ale i had,...

is that the point of this ale is to drink it now to have the freshest hop experience. I rather enjoy the notion/premise of traveling to the other side of the globe to obtain the hops,but does anyone feel this Harvest Ale in...

There used to be some frightfully pungent ginger ales in the south. I recall a stunning one called Buffalo Rock, for example. Don’t know if such things still exist.

I saw Sleeman’s cream ale ONCE in the beer section of a Trader Joe’s in Cambridge MA. That’s the only time I’ve seen it in the states, unfortunately.

Has anyone tried the Budweiser American Ale? Inasmuch as generally avoid Budweiser, I decided to give it a go (thank God for retailers where you can buy one bottle at a time). Budweiser is trying to be something that it is not. I...

Ipswich Summer Ale from Mercury Brewing of MA. It is light-colored but very tasty and firm-bodied; it’s not at all a typical dumbed-down “lite” summer beer. I’d love to try Bell’s Oberon, but...

Cool. I’m looking for a decent tasting low carbination, low hop ale that’s cheaper than Bass or Red Hook. Although, it seems some of the chain “craft” beers aren’t really inexpensive.

Aass Bock’s a lager, so it’s not really best for aging (also it’s a pale imitation of the Aass Bock of yore...new brewer), so I’m not sure you killed on that. But the Le Coq was a real good buy. He’s...

although I live in Bay Area, i found the ale at A private grocery store chain in San Jose, so look at Gelson’s as an idea. Beverages or More is another thought.

're talking about Blenheim’s Spicy Ginger Ale. I am completely adddicted to it, and would likely drink several a day, if it could be had easily and cheaply. Its consumption was part of a daily ritual when I lived in...

to grab two empty seats at the bar since wait service looked like it could be a real problem. Bartender was no better. Took another 10 minutes to even get our beers, let alone order. We both ordered the venison burger with...
