You're a man after my own heart Chris!! I love real ale and invariably drink that in the pub - but there are some great lagers available(German/Belgian/ Czech basically.). I love Budvar, but sometimes I'm tempted to think that Pilsner Urquell is even slightly better!! Duvel is fantastic too(not a lager, I know).

Duvel's a bit strong. Beer Ritz have an excellent range of Belgian beers - but obviously for drinking at home. Best range of Belgian I've seen in a pub is at the West Riding Refreshment Rooms in Dewsbury or the Brewers Pride in Ossett. The Palace doesn't seem that well stocked with the Belgian stuff. Beer Ritz is the only off licence I know that stocks an extensive range of Sam Smiths beers. They have something called "Yorkshire Stingo" I think it's 8% - and it's (was) a fiver a bottle. I've just had an excellent pint of Copper Dragon Scotts in the Cellar Bar opposite Batley Station. My son did the Ale Trail - Stalybridge, Marsden, Head of Steam, WEst Riding and Cellar Bar.
