Have you seen the Iron Maiden 'trooper' beer in Morrisons? I just cannot bring myself to buy a bottle but the label is tre cool

Buy a bottle.  It's decent beer.

A lot of the pubs round here are owned by Robinsons so it's easy to get hold off.

Next on the list of going through the Badgers range is Golden Champion, me likely, not my fave but I wouldn't say no.

Had a bottle of Badger Hopping Hare - mostly because Mr Tesco gave me a voucher for 30p off - but found it a bit too, well, "hoppy".  Is Fursty Ferret or Golden Champion any better?

Also @chillidoggy, some really good Scottish ones make it as far south as Wigan!  I'm a big fan of Deuchars' IPA, also many of the Harviestoun ones are good.

Fursty Ferret is less hoppy and actually thirst-quenching. Golden Glory is peachy, literally. It does warn you on the label, but you don't necessarily believe it till you try it. Not really my thing.
Edit: got my Champion and Glory mixed up, strumjoughlamps (below) is right.

Golden Glory is the peachy one, the missus likes that; Golden Champion is more a normal variety and also a thirst quencher . I am not keen on Hopping Hare

Cheers, chaps, I'll go for the Ferret next week then.

no need to refer to Goblin in that manner
