I've had some good ginger beers in my time.<BR/><BR/>One of the frequent topics of conversation among beer geeks of my acquaintance is how weird English brewers are. On the one hand you've got all the care that has to go into cask ale, and then the same brewer will bung their beers, filtered and pasteurised, into clear glass skunks-ahoy bottles. So yes: bottle conditioning, more of it please.

They always seem to be a bit musty or stale. Perhaps they would benefit from bottle-conditioning? And, yeah, instead of putting (fake tasting) weird flavourings (including nettles)in everything, I'd rather they just made a decent stout.<BR/><BR/>Still haven't been able to check out the Sam Smith's stout for you.
