Places to Buy.
Not sure if this is allowed, feel free to remove this thread if it counts as advertising.
Is it ok to post a few good places to buy ales from (I guess more obscure local ales rather than the main brewery ones.) Especially places to call in on when visiting other parts of the country.
I prefer to try new ales rather than stick to the same ones. Given I've generally tried all the offerings in supermarkets I tend to look for local variaties when out and about.
I'm not related to, or have any connection to the following places:
Darts Farm near Exeter. Just off the M5, if you're passing call in as it has a lot of Cornish, Devon and Dorset ales, plus quite a few from further afield. Reasonably priced and a discount on 12 bottles or more.
There is a similar type of place just south of Oxford off the A34, not quite as many as Darts Farm though.
Plenty of local farm shops around Salisbury which carry a fair few of the local beers (we are spoilt for breweries around here.)
Abbey Stores in the center of Salisbury and I believe the Post Office in the center of Downton (not the one on the main road, but up in the village opposite the Kings Arms/Wooden Spoon) also now sell a lot of local ales.

Im always looking for decent ales so its great to hear about the downton one. Didnt realise there was anything like that there. Does Darts farm have a webby? Be nice to see if they can get me some good old St.Austell Proper Job!

I think the Downton one has just started selling them, hopefully not overpriced like some farmshops are. However, it is also up forsale so not sure how long it will last.

Just an update, popped into the Downton post office today, not a great choice:
3 Hop Back Brewery beers, 3 Downton beers, the Wychwood range, and a couple of Badger ales. Nothing out of the ordinary (for round here anyway).
£2.10 each or 3 for £6.
Abbey Stores does a better range.

This is one of my favourite places in Norfolk to buy beer.

I visited the St Peters Brewery in Bungay a couple of years ago. Fantastic place, a bar loaded with thier best brews and great food, Its worth the trip out if you are in that area.
