Best 12 traditional beers in the UK

[Feldon]

The London Independent newspaper put out this list of the best 12 'traditional' beers 'from London to Orkney' in the UK last October.

For those interested in UK style beers, its a good read about what's spinning wheels in UK bottle shops these days. Also good to read how the writer uses language to describe the merits of the various beers. Some descriptions are mouthwatering, imo.

very subjective list. You could name many beers not on the list.

Found it a strange assortment of beers. I would be thinking they would be the best British beers as in British beers. Not just brewed there. A West Coast IPA? A German lager? Where's the milds, real ales, porters and such.

It's from London, probably done by a lager top sipping southern Nancy boy

I went potholing, 'once' just couldn't see any joy in it I was glad to get back to the surface, through water, down as far as we could go, which was a fair depth. I don't know how the Romans managed to mine them.
I do like Cheddar Cheese, the stronger the better, last time I went to the UK I went to Leicestershire hoping to try a brew infused with the whey of Stilton only to find they had stopped making it.
