Real Ale is Real Beer for Real Men. Belgian Beer is right up there too. Most Lager is frothy chemicalised p*sh for lightweight girlies.
In no particular order I recommend
Marston's Old Empire
Theakston's Old Peculier
and
Fullers ESB
to the house!

Real Ale is for old men with dubious personal hygiene.
Get yourself some ASDA budget label lager at 2.3% ABV. Only 37p a tin and harmless to children and small rodents. Marvelous.Comment

Good choice there Spod!
I must admit that I drink more lager these days, probably due to having too many dodgy ales.
Or maybe my hygiene is just improving.Comment

Mailman you sloppy uneducated colonial, please note:
There are very few things that the British do well, with Ale and Military Ceremonies being about the only things that are done well.
Whenever we are down the supermarket I'll pick up a few bottles of ale with the idea of using the bottles (empty of course) in the bar area of my B&B when I return to NZ to retire in a couple of years
Not much of a fan of lager anymore (or fizzy beers as I made the mistake of calling them when I first got here and found that the pub we were in didn't sell lagers )
Regards
MailmanComment

I find a few cans of Stella or suchlike make my joints (or maybe it's more the muscles) as stiff as a board a day or two later. I feel like an old guy of ninety, although it wears off after a day ot so, and I never get that with other drinks such as wine or spirits.
I'm sure a lot of the "back pain" you read about, and related absenteeism etc, is a result of the same thing - some after-effect (uric acid crystals?) of drinking lager.Comment

Timmy Taylors Landlord for a few only.
Holts or Hydes bog standard bitter if on a session.
If you are unlucky enough to be darn sarf then London Pride isn't a bad tipple.
All real ale is bad for your innards compared to lager.Comment
