Im only a kid so I've just got into the real ale thing, let's be honest the stereotype is older folk with a beer gut! But I found that I don't get all the bloatedness that comes with drinking lager, rarely drink lager now.
I had a really nice one last night I thought but can't remember what it was called.
I'm guessing, judging by the amount of posts on here, that Wanderer fits my stereotype of a real ale drinker.

I've never come across a more accurate portrait of real ale enthusiasts than this:

Ventured into the Old Angel and the Gatehouse last night.

Sampled a couple of brews in the Old Angel that by coincidence were both 5.0%, Arkells Kingsdown Special Ale and the very nice Daleside Bobek Export.

In the Gatehouse it was (the somewhat disappointing) Hyde's Heads & Tails 4.6% and (the much more palatable) Three B's Pinch Noggin, also 4.6%.
