Which ones have travelled half the world? Fosters is brewed by Courage, Red Stripe is brewed in Bedford, XXXX again brewed locally by inBev. Becks is one of the few still brewed where it should be. Didn't they move Newcastle Brown brewing out of Newcastle recently? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newcastle_Brown Ah yes, in Aug 2005 it was moved to Gateshead.

It's about half way between here (Poole) and Southampton just on the edge of the New Forest and can be reached from the A31

Re: Real Ale, Beer & Lager Lovers
Hogs Back Brewery is not too far from Middlesex (between Guildford & Farnham) and does some very nice real ale (TEA  ). You can also buy online.
