Has anyone mentioned the Forum and Firkin yet? http://www.h2g2.com/A187508: You can go along and at least pretend to be drinking nice beer.

Yes, I've been there, Had a pint but it lacked aftertaste. Nothing. Virtual beer and virtual sex will never be as good as the real thing. I've spent alot of time on the internet doing virtual pub crawls.(I only do this at work of course!)Is Timothy Taylor as good as everyone claims it to be? What is the best that you've had? American beer has no barley or hops, just rice and water ice cold or you might taste how terrible it is. There are quite a few american microbreweries popping up. Some almost get the English Ale right. But they seem to be missing that secret ingredient.

I don't think Timothy Taylor's Landlord is anything to get excited about. I really don't know what the best beer I've had is, but out of relatively widely availiable ones, Black Sheep Riggwelter's very good.
