Stuck in Cardiff city centre for the night. Where's the best place for honest local ale? And what is it, please? :y
-
I believe there's a local brew call 'Sheep Piss'. :y
-
There is a number of Ales, Brains, Felin Foel, Tomos watkins.
They are all down to individual tastes, most pubs will serve them as well :y

They sound OK, but I prefer sheep piss. ;D

There is one called Sheep dip but that's from Dorset
Oh I also forgot Double Dragon as well.

Brains SA - top pint. [smiley=beer.gif]

Went down quite well during a recent kit car tour to Wales. :y Until the barrel emptied. :'(

Settled for a pint of brains smooth at the prem inn. Can't be harrised going out after playing with the new and ongoing one way system and a backup satnav with old maps trying to send memdown no entries! :D
-
The brains failed the taste test, sadly.
Back Guinness cold! ;D

taste buds must be faulty.
does the S A in brains really mean skull attack??

TBH, despite frequently going to Cardiff up until around 6yrs ago, its all a bit fuzzy... ...hotels, corporate expenses, over indulgance ;D :-[
We always stayed in the mid-class hotel near the train station - not the one that let rooms by the hour, the other. Marriot? Nice and close to city centre, always messy....

Special Ale
But Skull Attack is more appropriate! ;D

Actually, it might have been in a curry house near there that a 'top heavy' lass gave me a hell of a slap for what she obviously thought was an inappropriate remark, which entertained my colleagues somewhat :-[

The clue's in the name.
smooth = old bath water. ;)

Much as I was pleasantly surprised, on average, by a recent beer festival. It's difficult for me to get round a basic design fault with beer. It's warm.
...or at least certainly not cold. What qualifies a drink to be cold/warm/hot/room temp i'm not sure.
But it seems to me a pint of anything should be cold!
Strange though that shorts should be fine at room temp. But they are and that's that. Add ice if you wish of course. But generally warm is ok.
Strange. Guiness= cold. lager=cold. Cider= cold. Beer = warm.
Why?
I'm not a wine fan, much as a certain admin would prefer i was. But Red=warm. White=cold.
Why? :-/
Flavour is ok with Beer. Mostly. But warm beer is just wrong. :-? IMO. ;)

.. because if it's too cold you have no flavour. ;) Simple fact of life. You can't have cold beer with flavour.
Having said that, it doesn't need to be warm, just not ice cold. 12 degrees is about right. Still below room temperature. Still cold enough to be refreshing on a warm day.
Take a tasty real ale and chill it to lager temperatures and it will lose its' flavour. Lager has no flavour, so doesn't suffer. ;)
Sounds like a good excuse to do some testing in the name of science, though. I'll chuck a couple of bottles in the 'fridge for you. [smiley=beer.gif]

On the subject of wine, did I call the waiter in the Indian gay because he drinks wine?
Opps
