I would be pretty desperate if I had to drink that stuff. I tried it once but I kept falling over ;D
Its not all super strong Ace, there are thousands of kits these days many of which replicate our great real ales.
I am not a great fan of real ale, there are times when I look forward to have had enough. I get a lot of stick from my mates for drinking lager, being a folk performer and also a morris dancer in a previous life, I should be holding a foaming pint of ferrets fart, finger in my ear and wearing an arran sweater ;D Give me a bland lager anytime which is so cheap to buy in tescos etc, it ain't worth the hassle to brew my own.
