Ah, Three Sisters (of Glencoe). I'm not omniscient - the last time I drove through, that brewery buiding was still in use as part of the aluminium smelter!
Albert Real Ale; the list!

I'd plump for the Hook Norton, delicious stuff.
Was a bit miffed on Friday though when I asked for a top up on my IPA only to see it filled with Abbot. I hope they can deal with three taps.

Well I've been narrowing down Mrs M's list, and it's hard to get any narrower than the above. All of them known too be fantastic (eg we had the Oakhams White Dwarf at Strawberry Fair in June, and it was wonderful!) or strongly suspected to be fantastic, given the breweryt's track record.
Any and all of the above welcomed, any time!
We had Abbott (several!! 
) on Friday, and while I do like it a lot, I'm not sure that it should be treated as a 'guest' ale, given that the Albert is owned by GK anyway, and given how relatively easy it is to find, generally. Guest ales should be unusual and rarely seen!

Beware hedgehogs
Myself and the missus have been drinking in the Albert a bit since the refurb(which is very good) and the successful campaign for installation of real ale.
I have not really earned a say in this but my suggestion would be for a strongish around the 5% ale, given that IPA is pretty weak.

The 'Real Ale Revival' CAMRA have been doing it since 1971! I hope they took note?
Fantastic to see see The Albert showcasing such a great selection of beers.

On a bit of break...
The Abbotts is finished I think...it was one of the guest beers....although I think there's a case for getting an extra pump and having IPA & Abbots plus a guest beer. Shouldn't be a problem....Abbots is a Greene King beer and it's not like it's not getting drunk.

<awaits reports>But the ale is apparently back on tomorrow. Wohoo!
Will be back in the Albert Saturday evening at the latest ...
Well the Albert was without IPA for a couple of hours last night (early evening) before it was restored again** and the second pump was unused.
**In fairness, the beer was in its usual excellent condition
PLEASE GET THE GUEST IN SOON!!!
