All things are relative, and each to his own - but given the choice of a BOTTLE of OSH or GKIPA, For me the OSH wins every time, even if its a pale shadow of its former self (never tried GK on tap, not sure I want to).

GKIPA was all you could get around here at one time but now there's a few places starting to sell Adnams :)
you can only get Mauldons (local brewery) from certain supermarkets

have to agree with the Abbot fan club, the Abbot in our local JDW is superb. I do try not to like it honest, I depserately want to hate all things Greene King cos of what they did to so many small local breweries, but it's no good. I like it.

Stand it up against the Marston Pedigree and the difference is huge.

I thought OSH was much the same in bottles, just had it's balls cut off for the draught version.

I thought so too - strength-wize at least. Dunno if the water's changed or similar, though.

Unfortunately, one of the pubs local to me went through some rough times about 10 years ago, and was sold to Greene King :evil: . It is now being run by a different landlord, and the Abbot is excellent, and they do have at least one guest beer on, though.

Greene King IPA isn't too bad if you don't expect it to taste like Ale. My mum doesn't like it, but she likes some hoppier beers - Bath ales Gem and Butcombe Bitter spring to mind.
