No Allendale beers, but two Thornbridge ones, including Jaipur, my favourite strong ale.
I'll be concentrating on the Kentish beers mainly, since few of them are ever seen outside of that county. Hopdaemon are particularly excellent.
Allendale beers are commonplace at my end of the world (NE England) but I've yet to be won over by them. My favourite local beers are from Jarrow and Bull Lane: Rivet Catcher and Nowtsamatta respectively.
Thanks for that list, I'll have a good look at that :)
Jaipur's bloody gorgeous too, Thornbridge really are showing how good beer should be done these days
Being an ex-Allendonian I'm very partial to the Allendale brews, love the Golden Plover and Wolf most, best enjoyed on tap in the Golden Lion.
In the absence of any Allendale beer down here though I can console myself with amazing Tap bar on Sheffield station that has Thornbridge as it's house beers, dirty job but someone's gotta do it :D

Next time I'm back up in the North East I'll seek out the Jarrow and Bull lane brews out they sound great cheers!
