The best beer I had there was Palmer's Best Bitter...which I hadn't heard of before. Wadworth had the lion's share of the local market, but Palmer's was much better!
Brit cider is great! I had some of the “imported” cider when I was in Garmisch, Germany, and it’s still memorable.
I was so young (17 in 1964) when I visited England I was not able to appreciate their Beers or the countryside. Only three days there on the second leg of an around the world trip.
