A "Real" British Drink

While some people love visiting wineries and attending tastings, I enjoy trying new beers.  Some friends and I have occasional tastings and we brew our own beer.  So when I realized I would be coming to London for a few weeks, I brushed up on my "real ale" knowledge.  Real ale is a traditional British drink and is a pub staple here.  I have enjoyed the few real ales that I have tried here.  I have been able to sample real ales from the Adnams, Sambrooks, Morland, and Fuller Breweries.  However, by far my two favorites are, Old Brewery Bitter by Samuel Smith Old Brewery and Doom Bar from Sharp's Brewery.

For those of you not familiar with real ales, I have created this podcast.  I hope it inspires you to find some real ale in your area!
