"What's your favourite beverage?"
Very partial to Wychwoods Hobgoblin IPA at the moment as it is available in cans, but love most pale or IPA and I am surrounded by enough real ale pubs that change their guest beers weekly it is hard to have a lasting favourite. |

""Old speckled hen" is good. Shepherd Neame's "Bishop's Finger" is probably my favourite.
I like to try the guest beers when I go to the pub just for a bit of variety."
Try Old Crafty Hen 5.5% or Abbot reserve 6.5% both stronger and awesome drinks if you are only having a couple. |

I have those during the winter. Bit heavy for summer drinking.
Try the Shep's 1698 too if you like the Old Crafty Hen and Abbott's Reserve. Wychwoods King goblin is a similarly good beer. |

There are too many to choose from. Purbeck brewery do some lovely beers, shipwrecked being one of them. Dorset Knob is also a nice beer, palmers do some ones, as do badgers. I do like speckled hen as well. I also like brains as well. |

"Right into my ipa's at the mo
I love a vocation ...but neck oil from Beavertown brewery is my fav .."
I absolutely love neck oil! It's on draft at one of my locals thankfully a good session IPA from Beavertown Brewery. Quite citrusy (sp) and more American IPA ...  |

I love real ales! Started off going to ale festivals (in the good ole days) all over GB and even wrote for CAMRA decades ago 
Favourite? Too many to even think about in reality, not sure I even have a favourite brewery 
Again it would depend on place, time, mood, occasion and what's available but always on draft not a fan of bottled and never tins!!!! |

I tend to like a golden session, I made the barman at Whitby brewery’s tap room laugh when I chose a beer to try by colour. He said he liked the approach cos it want pretentious.
Which is really ironic for me! |

on the basis of being gluten free I’ve tried vocations Heart and Soul which is quite easy to obtain, I’m trying to find beavertown critical mass which is proving to be elusive |

"Had a pint of the Royal Celebration Ale from Bathams ,Sovereign. Light, hoppy and citrus flavour very nice actually. Easy drink "
no doubt consumed in the Royal Exchange enville st Stourbridge? Sadly being coeliac such ales are off the menu, I’ve been to Yorkshire this weekend and had a few bottles of local ales Wold top breweries “against the grain” and Hambleton breweries “session pale ale” which is probably the nicest beer I’ve had for a long long time,

Not on this occasion but I have been known to have a pint or 3 there! Lol
I really sympathise with your plight, but at least there are some you can try. |

One of things I like about visiting England is getting to a proper pub and having a nice ale. There’s something different from the styles in Scotland.
Even a pint of London Pride makes me smile, but I usually go for something local if I can. Old Hooky might be my favourite, but I’m rarely in the Cotswolds …
Up here I’m a fan of Kelburn Brewery - Red Smiddy is delicious. And Harviestoun - their Bitter & Twisted is lovely. |

the West Midlands is very poor for gluten free beers Purity do a couple of nice ones, can’t beat Yorkshire they are really switched on to gluten free beer there’s a real stigma with anything gluten free which people thinking it’s “shite” so they won’t buy it so shops don’t stock it |

"Jaipur thorn bridge brewer
Moonshine abbeydale "
Thornbridge do several gluten-free I’m not a lager fan but i like their Helles lager I’ve also tried their AM-PM, I know Abbeydale produce a wide range of gluten free ales but I’ve never seen any down here in the West Midlands |

"For Gluten free. Check out Fierce the brewery from Aberdeen who recently opened a taproom in Manchester. Lots of their beers are GF."
