Top Ten Beers

These are only the ones I can remember offhand - testing damages the memory!
Actually I think I'd better go and do a lot more tasting to make sure these really are the top ten
You'll also notice these are mostly bottled beers: I prefer to drink at home where I have access to all the toys (CD, TV, etc) and snacks I like.
These are in no particular order

Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout
Guinness (draught, not the bottled stuff and not that canned stuff either)
Thwaites Lancashire Strong Brown Ale
Daleside Monkey Wrench
Butterknowle Old Ebenezer
Chimay (blue label)
Merriman's Old Fart
King&Barnes Malt Brown Ale
Vaux Double Maxim
Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale

I grew up in a Courage's brewery area - bad news in those days
You'll notice there are no lagers in this list....there's a nice dark lager called Staropramen in some of the supermarkets now.
David J Roberts sent me a couple of pics of some beer he likes: Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout and Fuller's 1845
Here's a couple of pics of some bottles I've drunk recently - I think I need to scan them at higher resolution though, and the pics aren't actually that good:
4 browns and a mild
Pack of 6
