has anyone else tried the OLD FART beer from the UK( Dan Murphy's sell it) next to the holy Grail or sorry its holy ail?

i bought it drunk it, nice, dry alittle bit sweet over tones. but a good beer with a funny name.

Bought a bottle recently along with the Holy Grail.

The Holy Grail was utter crap, don't waste your money. The Old Fart had a bit more flavour which resembled an ESB. A little unbalanced. Much nicer ESB's around. Will not be buying again.

Had it a few months ago, didn't really think that much of it, just not a very exciting beer IMO

You're lucky, my local Dan's hardly stocks any UK beers these days, and certainly not old fart or holy grail - that's what happens when Woolworth's runs the place. However, Purvis Cellars still stocks both of these, and I've tried both recently.
Old Fart - OK beer at best, its just a gimmick and sells beer on the strength of the label.
Holy Grail - looks like a gimmick, I was worried it wouldn't live up to it's brand's reputation but i actually thought it was pretty good. I like Black Sheep Ale, Old Peculier as well, I'm sure the Theakston brothers wouldn't make anything that was less than above average.

Local bottlo (Hazelbrook) puts a big chalkboard sign up every weekend saying "Old Fart Beer" on the highway (major tourist route through the Blue Mountains) and stocks a few british imports - i reckon they sell a few every weekend from passing traffic quite easily just because of the name!
