Bottled beer has improved a lot since I was young, when it was all fizzy light ale or brown ale. Nowdays one gets some nice bitters in a bottle. Recently I picked up a very nice example at the excellent Secretts Farm shop in Milford near Godalming. It was a bottle conditioned ale from Susex and had exactly the bitter hoppy taste I like. My reason for purchasing was actually the nice picture of an old grand prix car on the front of the bottle, the beer being called Woodcote bitter after the corner at Goodwood and the Woodcote Cup, a race run there. The beer went very nicely with a Saturday lunchtime salad of cheese, ham, salad leaf, gluten free bread croutons and chorizo leftovers. Salads aren't particularly friendly with wines unless you are very careful with the dressings and lunchtimes somehow suit beer better than wine.
