Beer > Bitter Beer

Adnams Broadside (Bottled)

Advantages: Great beer from one of the best breweries
Disadvantages: Strong beer at 6.3%

Over the past 4-5 years I've gone from lager drinker and occasional real ale drinker, to real ale and occasional lager drinker. This is perfectly natural. As you age, your taste buds start to wear out, with the area at the front of your tongue going first ...

Review of Adnams Broadside Ale

Two Pints of Bitter and a Packet of Crisps

Advantages: Tasty and not hard to find
Disadvantages: Not all that easy to find either

Arriving at the pub of a Friday evening is always something of a step into the unknown. Granted, the pub is where it's always been, the name hasn't changed and the decor's much the same. In fact, the Livingston Inn has been serving up pints of ale and hea ...

Review of Adnams Broadside Ale

Beer delivered by horse draw cart.

Advantages: Great taste and holds it's head well.
Disadvantages: None with the exception of a hang over if you drink too many.

I first discovered Adnams ale when on a family holiday in Southwold, Suffolk. Southwold is a town where they have a working lighthouse in the middle of the town and the brewery still delivers the barrels of beer by house and cart to the local pubs. Th ...
