Ok guys,it'll soon be time for me to replenish my stocks of everything - got enough left for one more brew. For better or worse my hop choices have revolved around EKG,Fuggles,Northern Brewer,Aurora and the best of all,Challenger. When I restock I wanna try something different,yet similar if you get that? Any suggestions? I don't want a wild deviation from what I'm used to but I'm getting a little bored with the predictable sameyness of my bitters and pale ales. Hope this doesn't start any arguments :) .

Bramling cross works well with bitters and pale ales, really good with challenger too, I'm a big fan of first gold too, lovely in a pale ale!

For a nice Lagery type hop try some German Tettnang :) Its one I'll be using again, I really enjoyed my first beer made with it.
