If you want a good Sunday lunch with nice beer, try the Railway Inn in Abertillery, opposite Tesco, on the bend before the lights.
You may have to ring up to book, but it's worth it, Kim the Landlady is superb, I go in, in bike gear all the time, nobody bats an eye, apart from in the summer when I got fuck all on underneath my leathers 
Just tell her when you go there that Shiny recommended it, you'll have a bit of a surprise!

Yeh i know the Railway. My grandad used to be a member of the limes (It's an old person's bar opposite it).
Is that your local or did i hear you mention the patriot?

The old farmer I bought my farm off in the French Pyrenese (it's a long story and a while ago now) used to make plum schnapps/brandy from the trees in his/my fields.
That was the finest spirit I have ever drunk by far.
So smooth, sweet, and very strong.
He introduced me to it on the day we agreed to buy the farm by pouring it over a lump of sugar in a small glass. Yum.
He called it Eau de Vie.. Water of life, and used to make a few bottles every year. He gave me two at one point and I treasured them for as long as I could. It was a sad day when I finally finished off the last of it a few years later.
You can buy it in France and pay a lot of money for an old one but nothing was ever as good as that.
In fact I remember buying some later on the internet so I'm gonna do that right now and have it sent to me here.

Very fine stuff

I pine for some very similar stuff from southern Germany. Proper Pear Kirsch. It is not sweet but incredibly flavoursome and and alchoholic.
When I make cheese fondue I use the Kirsch with the cornflour in the final stiffening-it gives a fantastic aroma. Also great as penalty tot for losing your bread.
Difficult to get good quality Kirsch in the UK now. I get mine from a vintage whisky shop in Soho- but not a patch on the Germnan stuff I had years ago.
Amazing how many variations on the of Aqua vite theme there are. I will never forget some illegally brewed Oozo we had on a tiny Island called Symi-although it actually came from Lesbos. You could drink it until totally anaestatised and not have a trace of a hang over the next day.
just noticed some extremely fine bitter that has not been mentioned yet Timothy Taylor Landlord - almost definitive bitter, loads of taste and all too easy to drink.

Yup, the Plum brandy was like that too. (Not sweet, just delicious. Dangerously so)

All we need now is someone who already has a web-site up and running who could post all these goodies to us.
Now who could that be?

This year I have mostly been drinking bottled Hobgoblin (5.2%) from Wychwood Brewery in Witney, Oxfordshire. Unavailable on draught in the lager-swilling South East unfortunately. 
It's knocked Guinness off the top step of the podium for me and the T-Shirts ain't bad either!
