6. Worthingtons
7. Bass
8. Courage Best
9. Marstons Pedigree
10. Adnams Bitter

now thats made me thirsty Im off to the fridge

[Corabar Steve]

Shame none of them have won owt at the GBBF.

The only one that's anywhere near drinkable is Adnams

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Not a proper list - Caffreys isn't on there.

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

I suspect Greene King IPA is at the top of the list because it's cheap, not because it's any good.

[Have a disco]

GBBF ah yes mainly for smaller independants unlike the national big boy stuff. In which case watchout fro the nethergate breweries from clare in suffolk 10 miles up the road from us. They have several winning brands from the GBBF

Cafferys like guinness and murphys are not classed as ales they are stouts

Being readily available has something to do with it as well. Fosters is the best selling lager in the uk, it's also sold in the most outlets. Think about that & the top selling beers listed above.

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Cafferys like guinness and murphys are not classed as ales they are stouts
Ale
A classification of beer styles, ales are made with top-fermenting yeast. The brewing takes place under warmer conditions than lager. Pale, brown, red, amber, bitter, stout, porter, and lambic are a few examples of the many types of ale.

So there!

[Have a disco]

OK not classed as real ales and yes Greene king is always there with new variations as well as its classics as are London Pride , Marstons, courage , Bass and Adnams whom are all sponsors as well of all GBBF events as standard
