Despite being a southerner, London region, by birth and upbringing, I've never been a great fan of London beers. I've always preferred Yorkshire/Lancashire and West Country stuff. Must be something in the water. Burton/Derbyshire stuff I'm not so keen on either, never took to Marstons, and that even extends in to Sheffield I suppose as Wards always upset me. As did Banks's from Wolveryampton.
First beers I truly loved were Robinsons, Theakstons and Wadworths. These days I tend to frequent free houses and have whatever the guest beer is, and I are seldom disappoint. Although my two most local breweries, Two Bridges and Loddon, produce some utter corkers. Windsor&Eton are good, too. Far better than the nasty Reading beers I first tasted, like Courage (which was b***** everywhere in the 80s, good riddance). Anyone remember Simmonds? I don't, but I bet that was revolting.
