These Are The New Good Times - Pale Horse & Rider

PALE RIDER

Advantages: Tasty, easy-to-drink
Disadvantages: I can't think of a single one

won the Champion beer of Britain, it's well-made, interesting, smooth and easy-to-drink, and very tasty...why, if it could cook, I'd marry it. I drank this on its own, but I think it would grace any typical pub fare with ease, although, as I said, I feel it's more of a session ale and would probably go best with a bag of nuts and some good company (where I drink, sometimes nuts and company are synonymous). This beer is widely available in supermarkets at around £1.50-60 for a 500ml bottle. Would I drink it again? - As the preacher says, "Only after nine in the morning."* * From the movie, Pale Rider Previous winners of the Best Beer in Britain award: 2002 - Caledonian Deuchars IPA 2003 - Harviestoun's Bitter & Twisted Sláinte ©proxam2004 ...

Review of Pale Rider

Death Rides a Pale Horse....

Advantages: A flavoursome and full bodied beer that never disappoints.
Disadvantages: Deceptively strong! Difficult to get outside the brewery catchment area.

Kelham Island are now viewed as Sheffield?s biggest brewery since the demise of Wards, Stones, Hope & Anchor and Tennants, all since 1990. ~~~THE BEERS. Kelham Island produces beer using finest wheat, barley, hops, water and yeast. They don?t use any sugar and their aim is to make beer using only pure ingredients.

Review of Pale Rider

Pale Rider (actually Quite-Well-Tanned Rider)

Advantages: Clint Eastwood fitting his character wonderfully.
Disadvantages: Not much in the way of surprises in the plot.

I'm not one for long reviews of films and picky details about the cast. It's easy to find those details if you want (e.g. www.imdb.com). No spoilers to watch out for here, I think, just a general overview of the film :-) ** THE FILM ** This isn't the same kind of western as The Good, The Bad and The Ugly; For a Fistful of Dollars; or For a Few dollars More. Those films (while I love them very much for their style), I can understand why many people would find them slow and consequently boring. Pale Rider is rather a western that should still appeal to lovers of the aforementioned films, but also those who prefer a more obvious plot and their idea of action and drama aren't tense stand-offs before a gunfight. The film begins with a small community of gold-prospectors who are being terrorised by a more wealthy and industrial ...
