Well, the pub I used to work in and the new pub i work in are both 'real ale pubs', and i find them really interesting! At the pub i work in now, we have 8 real ale pumps on the bar and also 2 in the restaurant upstairs... I find some of the names interesting... What are some that you've come across?

One brewery thats quite creative - if thats the right word- with their names is Northumberland Brewery.

Two that make me laugh are:

'Bucking Fastard'

and

'Hoof Harted' - This one may have had a slip of the tongue when a customer asked me what beers we had on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif)

^^^ Customers cheated and asked for a pint of 'northumberland' please.. to which my response would be.... 'which one' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Top totty is a popular one, Charlies Angels, Doombar.

Oakham's we find is a popular brewery - especially Citra and Musashi!

Of course Wychwood brewery - Hobgoblin sells well!

Oh and Coach house brewery with their toffee, raspberry and other flavours sell well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Any real ale drinkers here? And what names have you come across?

I had a pint of "Bonkers Conkers" yesterday.

Bishop's Finger is an interesting one, I often wonder where it's been.

Hmm, got a few in Cornwall. However I tried to add them and the ridiculous screening has just made it come up with lots of ###### (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

'Bucking Fastard'

Like Fat Fred's Cat n The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. I believe its name was Cooking Fat.

As for real ales ...

King Billy
Old Growler
Speckled Hen
Fuggles
Brewdog Paradox
Dogfish Head
Hog's Back

...

hundreds and hundreds of them

You should visit 'Bert's Bierhuis' in Utrecht

One of the local breweries has a favorite called TEA (traditional english ale). They often do a seasonal called Summer This. I know from experience that Santa's Wobble is dangerous stuff!

Ah, happy memories of our courting days...the local real ale pub used to do a fine pint of Theakston's Old Peculier.

Which is how I recall Misterjay felt after one pint too many of the stuff... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

It is brewed by a small brewery near Harrogate.

A pub I frequent near our Horsforth office (Skylark knows it too) , has several hundred beer mats on the walls/beams etc. 'Old Legover' is definitely there. I'll have a good look tomorrow , and find some unusual ones.
