Hope you're better soon too Meadow. If we're declaring beer allegiances then my shout for Dark Star Original is probably swayed by me working for them last summer but it's a blinding pint. Everybody raves about Hophead but Original and if we're going lighter in colour, A.P.A. are the Dark Star beers that do it for me. I was sadly the only one who loved their Mild for May as it's off the beer list for this year

I'm always up for a pint of Bowman's Swift One myself, but that was my beer of the year 2 years ago.

I've just been helping count up the beer of the festival votes from Battersea. The winner was Junction Ale from the local Sambrook's brewery. Only launched last autumn (following the success of Sambrook's inaugural Wandle Ale), it's a beautifully balanced and full-bodied 4.5% pale ale. Look out for it!

Will do. My beer of the day is Badger Golden Glory, which, if you're in the mood for that kind of thing, is amazing. It's very fruity, sort of peachy.

TEA is a wonderful brew, which I find best drunk at somewhere like the Guildford Cricket Festival. Sitting in the sun watching the game with a pint poured directly from the cask, fantastic!! But being a lover of darker brews Hogs Back Winter Ale is excellent. As for a Tin Pot ale, really if a club house has a decently kept pint of the real stuff as we actually do at Sutton I'm happy!!

I vaguely recall reading something about Sambrooks in a Financial News piece about 6 months ago. I believe the founder used to be a trader of some sort and he featured in a 'Life after the city' segment. Would have tried some but they seemed to have only a very limited list of pubs they would supply (and I'm lazy). I'd be voting for the Dark Star Espresso or White's Dark if I hadn't given up alcohol for my Lenten fast. Roll on Easter Sunday!

I prefer the Red Dwarf bastardisation of 1 Cor 13:13 - 'Now these three remain Faith, Hop and Love. But the greatest of these is Hop'
