I just got back from some time in mid-Wales and was able to make its acquaintance in one or two places. Flavoursome doesn't even begin to describe these beers and they're right up my street. Hurrah! Just wanted you to know.Clive Powncebynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285162121291357473.post-23905702441562434562010-08-04T13:23:31.881+01:002010-08-04T13:23:31.881+01:00I wondered as well whether the award for HSB might...I wondered as well whether the award for HSB might raise a few hackles. I did like Gales a long time ago on my visits to family in Hampshire, but the Fullers version of HSB isn't to my mind as good as the original. I was surprised it got an award.Neville Grundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10923209266005338452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285162121291357473.post-30765991438261040132010-08-04T13:18:35.119+01:002010-08-04T13:18:35.119+01:00Interesting that an award has gone to a "tran...Interesting that an award has gone to a "transplanted" beer - Gales HSB brewed by Fullers. Some people may not be too happy about that.<br /><br />Mind you, I never thought Gales beers brewed at Horndean were much cop following their 1984 yeast infection.Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285162121291357473.post-12013141764124585712010-08-04T12:52:48.837+01:002010-08-04T12:52:48.837+01:00Yes, I can't dispute that: it is all subjectiv...Yes, I can't dispute that: it is all subjective, of course.
