Episode 135 - Boddingtons Pub Ale

Boddingtons, originally started in 1778 by two grain traders was purchased by Boddington, a traveling brewer, in the 1850s. It continued to be family owned until 1989, at which point it started its conglomerate journey to where it now exists as an AB InBev beer. That said, this is a nitrogen-infused English Pale Ale that isn't ground-breaking in flavor, but is crazy smooth and quite a session beer.

One of my gateway beers to better beers, I first had in my teens. Indeed, smooth and easy to drink, but quite devoid of much flavour. I still buy it from time to time. Great job with the history, guys.

@elharlock this or Tetley's are both nitrogen-infused English Pale Ales and are both somewhat devoid of awesome. That said, I can think of worse session beers and still buy this.

Ah, have yet to try this one but its readily available in Oklahoma. Myself and my buddy are currently on a scotch/scottish ale search, particularly Claymore Scottish Ale that you guys reviewed in episode 69. Not only is OK pretty much devoid of strong beers, it is also lost on the concept as well. I spent 30min explaining a store owner what beer I was looking for, showing her a printout. No clue. I am considering moving. What do you think about, Three Guys on Beer? has kind of a nice ring huh?

@OppositeDecember sorry to hear that. I know some states are much farther behind than others when it comes to good beer. Philly is a decent place ;)

[hornbuckle56]

[TheHammer609]

I have to agree with chad on this one.

[Tantrum777]

great review guys, whenever I drink this I think of grass but I know where your going when your talking metallic taste/smell

I'm not a huge fan of this beer. Nitro beers tend to be very watery to me including Young's Double Chocolate (bottle version is way better).

Nice to see you guys reviewing a beer I've actually heard of! LOL
