Thing to remember as well is that there is nothing wrong with 'mainstream' ales like bishops finger, spitfire, Greene king etc.... Don't let elitism affect your choice. Drink whatever ale you want as long as you like it.
Leave those that revel in drinking super dooper specially crafted 'for only 10 people in the whole world and I'm better than you as I'm drinking something you've never heard of' hipster beardy weirdy ales to it and don't let their snide comments change your drinking habits.
Anyway just been to aldi's and got loads of Hobgoblin pumpkin beer, a few Hopping Hare's and a couple Old Peculiar's before nipping to Waitrose and picking up a few Punk IPA's for the week.
