I thought I'd start on teh mild and work up teh alchohol content as teh night went on. I liked teh mild that much I stayed on it all night.
I also used to like Thwaites Big Ben bottled ale, get half a mild and keep topping it up with teh Ben, a nice dark rum over ice on teh side compliments it perfectly.
I always enjoyed looking after teh ales when I worked teh pub game, I was always proud that my ale was always in top notch condition.

Ok, you seem to be the resident expert; so, I have a question. Is it true that the ales in casks could be affected by the weather, particularly thunder storms? My grandad swore he could tell when thunder was coming by how the beer tasted in the old Village Blacksmith on Bayley St. in Clayton. Do real ales have this sensitivity, or was my grandad BSing me?
