Hi

As a occasional drinker i love nothing better than a chilled pint of Real Ale whilst looking at pictures of the Peak District on my Video , and wondered whilst i am aware the video will still work via scart input 1 or 2 on the tv , Real Ale and i dont mean the diluted weak stuff but Real proper mans real Ale as drank in Derbyshire , is it available or is there anything to replace it ?

This is most important and could be the difference between moving or not ..

jdr

Its if you wanner pay 4€ for a pint or the same for a ltr of vodka ;-)

Im not a lager drinker at all, but Spain has some really first rate lagers, i would stick to them mate!

jdr

So would I, especially at the Spanish bar prices ;-)

Big Pete

Oh i drink lager yep mmmm lovely , but its like one of the most important British things isnt it ?
1; Real Ale
2; Peak District
3; Trout fishing

If we cant get them then its not so good is it ? I can bring a video of the Peak District ,(tapes a bit wonky but watchable probably overplayed to much ! ). And i got the Trout Fishing sussed .. so its just the Real Ale and it musnt be the namby pamby but the real stuff , then Spain has it all..

As a substitute for real ale try Belgian beer.
Personally the best beer in Spain is Yuste. Evidently it is brewed in the same tradition as Belgian beer.

Reading those sites now found it is brewed by Heineken, now that is crap beer!

Big Pete

Ahh but !!!

Would it fool a fully bearded Real Ale drinker ? Bearing in mind that hes a expert on all British things and can smell a true brit hop at 121 miles away ?

I mean could it pass as a Real Ale as the Brits make ? if we put a sticker on a bottle of it saying "Realo Aleo" brewed by Brits sold in Spain , would it work ?

If you drink enough real ale you grow a beard automatically whoever you are

My neighbours wife is Belgian and she assures me that the belgians brew the best beer in the world. I bought her back a couple of bottles of Theaksons Old Peculiar after Christmas and she was particularly unimpressed

We are not saying that they would fool any person. For us it is a local product which we would recommend you try. Especially if you want to live in Spain with Spanish culture.
