What is your favorite beer? My personal favorite is Boddingtons, but only from tap. Poll coming.

starts with Co and ends with rona...

Is it that time of the month again?

Anchor Steam Beer.

It appears it is, Nazz.

Samuel Adams.

When it's from Mexico I prefer Sol cervasa.

Oh well. Is it considered flaming to knock the poor beer choices of others? Not yours, of course.

Cheap - Kokanee
Fine Shit - Guinness

Depends on what kind of drinking I'll be doing. Beirut or some other game that involves drinking beer quickly, I go for PBR or Busch Light because they go down easier. If I'm just sitting there drinking at a more leisurely pace, I like something classier. Then again, beer is beer, so I'm not likely to turn anything down.

I voted 'German' 'cos my second favourite beer is Erdinger, closely followed by Fuerstenberg. My all time favourite, though, isn't German but Czech... Staropramen... I cannot get enough of the stuff. I also love a Hoegaarden now and then, though it doesn't seem to be to everyone's tastes. Generally I'm a lager man, but Guinness isn't bad.

I prefer coolers...

I've had all 3 of those German beers when I was in Germany last summer. I drank a lot of beer when I was over there. I've never had Staropramen I must go out and find it. Luckily for me there is an import beer store not too far away which carries all kinds of brands I've yet to try. Slowly but surely I drink them all.;)

Tell me about this game Beirut that you speak of.

I love this picture. :D

Yeah, Flensburger Pilsener it is, although I haven't had it for years, and my tastes might have changed. Generally I don't drink beer anyways, and when I do it's usually VB.

I would have voted (or any of the other belgian beers), except I didn't notice.

How about putting Belgian Beers as the central aspect, and chimay as the parenthese? like this!

Any of the Belgian Beers (like Chimay)

Sam Adams, Killians, Blackbeard Ale, and guinness.

for beirut, I guess bud, but it doesn't really matter

Tell me about this game Beirut that you speak of.

It's also called Beer Pong and everyone has some slight variations in rules, but basically it involves trying to throw a ping-pong ball across a table into your opponent's cups of beer. Each time you make a shot, they drink that cup. Whoever has no cups left loses.

My favorite beer would have to be Bell's Oberon Ale, although anything from Bell's is good. Steam Anchor is pretty good, too.

You're right, but cut me some slack it was my first poll.

It is a fine poll.

It is a bit disappointing to see English beer represented by Boddingtons. There are four great brewing nations in (West to East) England, Belgium, Germany and Czech Republic. England also produces much dull, industrial rubbish, which is how I would classify Boddingtons.

Definitely German beer here! :D
This does *not* include Bavarian beer (Hofbräu, Erdinger Weißbier etc.) which tastes like piss! :mad: *barf*

Of the *German* beer, best is Dab, with Krombacher being the runner-up.

Once the intro is done, you can switch to English in the bottom left corner.

I've never really acquired the taste for beer but I would imagine that Australian beer > all.

"I've never really acquired the taste for beer" - You know, I believe you.

Anything Belgian or Czech really. Hoegaarden or Pilsner Urquell.

I like the common guy type beers. Boddingtons is one of them and so is Guinness if you get right down to it. I'm a big fan of Molson Canadian (the reason why I had that as a choice). There aren't too many beers that I can't stand. Obviously I don't like Budweiser. I will drink Miller, but usually there is either PBR or Yuengling at places that serve it and I'd rather have those. Of course I prefer to drink European beers when available.

Some of the beers I've been trying out lately have been:
Rochefort
Val-Dieu
Melbourn Bros.
Corsendonk
Westmalle
Tripel Karmeliet

Fair enough, I do not wish to be snooty about these things. I am a brewing scientist though, so I can be a bit precious about it.

Enjoy the Boddies.

no no, thats Australian beer *drinkers* > all. Too bad we dont have many good brands, just a few micro brewerys (go little creatures and mountain goat).

I've gotta go with leffe as my favourite (the brune, I hate the blonde >.<) and the Belgiens overall, but then im only half way through my 'imported beers to taste' list.

I've gotta go with leffe as my favourite (the brune, I hate the blonde >.<) .
really?! I love the blonde, and am really quite ambivalent towards the bruin.

deuchar's IPA or McEwans 80/- are my favourite. i can never decide between them so i often alternate on a night out.

Kilkenny. Mmmh.

really?! I love the blonde, and am really quite ambivalent towards the bruin.

But the brune is so fruity and the blonde well it just doesnt taste like beer =S.

Btw does anyone know a good cheap place to get a keg and the equipment in Melbourne? It doesnt rly matter what beer.

Tiger, Tiger, Tiger....

1. Weinstephaner Hefeweitzen (Germany)
2. Amstel Light (Holland)
3. Blue Moon (USA)

I prefer dutch and german beers.

1. Grolsch
2. Dommelsch
3. Warsteiner
4. Kasseler

Leffe Trippel > Blonde Leffe > Bruine Leffe > Leffe Radieuse

:D

Polar.

Sorry, had to do it.

Fiege Pils
Dom Kölsch

I don't beleive in beer. Vodka and juice beats it anyday.

Only if you're a girl. Or gay.

Beer sucks.

Missed out many beers on that list.

Fosters
Carling
Stella Artois (Wifebeater)
Heineken
Amstel

And so forth.

Yuengling Lager

From America's oldest active brewery...

Stella Artois (Wifebeater)
what?

Heineken
that's not beer

that's not beer

What is it then?

What is your favorite beer? My personal favorite is Boddingtons, but only from tap. Poll coming.
Corona Light, with a twist of lime, a thick, tasty "Southwestern style" salsa, and some low-fat tortilla chips! YUM! :D

Stella Artois = Belgian or French beer, I forget which.

Nicknamed "Wifebeater" in the London area due to it making you want to start hurting people.

What is it then?
it's beer that went through a horse ;)

I know it's Belgian ;) just wondering about the "wifebeater" part (and don't all alcoholic drinks make the english violent? :p )

(and don't all alcoholic drinks make the english violent? :p )

lol fair comment. But Stella does seem to make people more violent than usual, perhaps because of the higher alcohol volume compared to most other beers?

higher alcohol content... no wonder... maybe I should read labels before chugging... sob

I like Kingfisher for flavor and Haywards 5000 for kicks.

Belgian Corsendonk. The best there is.

I don't think it has more alcohol than other Belgian pilseners...

Anchor Steam

See I would choose Sol with all that, but thats just me. I've always preferred Sol over Corona or Corona light.


This goes out to everybody else that might be interested:

I've noticed a lot of good beers listed. I guess it is difficult in having a poll that lists all of them. An excellent website that lists just about every beer you could ever imagine is http://beeradvocate.com/ Each beer is graded by real beer drinkers around the globe. Check it out if interested.

Peroni Gran Riserva.

Root.

I like Newcastle Brown Ale for some reason.

Root.
That's not beer. its soda.

Root.


HA! I too am a fan of root beer, sarsaparilla and cream soda.

Yuengling is the best.

Just about anything I brew myself.

Just about anything I brew myself.

I made beer a few months ago, for my birthday. At a microbrewery though, not at home. That was a lot of fun, a great birthday present, and it made a damn good beer!

Otherwise, I like Guiness, Newcastle, Chimay, most marzens. I tend to like the darker beers, and stay away from Corona, Bud, Coors, Miller and the like.

Piss (http://www.pi55.com/)

it depends on how empty my pockets are this week.

pbr if im broke (im from the south, i can handle it)
bud light if im almost broke
rolling rock if im decent
paper city brewery if im rolling in dough.

I generally move from one brand to another, although I avoid the mass produced horse piss from the major breweries. My willingness to drink bad beer is based on how hard I have been working, physically. After a long grueling day of physical labour, even a cold beer that tastes like horse piss can really hit the spot. Office work is not hard grueling physical labour.

Right now my favourite beer to relax with is Sleeman’s Honey Brown Ale. It’s very smooth and satisfying.

The Bruce

If I don't buy it, any beer is good.

Carlsberg

I've never had caviar.
Its good stuff.

That's not beer. its soda.

Nah, it's pop.

sake :D

But being true Canadian, I have to go with Molson Canadian. Why can't I be German or Irish?

Being at college, all I can get is the typical horse-piss keg crap, and thus I avoid it. Only good beer I have on any sort of basis regular enough to appreciate it is Guiness. But, under the circumstances, I'm a Vodka man.

Fosters


WTF? Are you being sarcastic?

Piss (http://www.pi55.com/)

lol...is it decent enough beer to be worth it? $45 isn't too bad for a home delivered slab. :p

Upper Canada Lager.

To quote Monty Python:
"Why is American beer like making love in a canoe? Its fucking close to water!"

Guinness all the way, just for starters.

Right now I like Alaskan Amber. Tonight I had Paulaner Salvator. I'm not a beer snob: I'll drink almost anything, depending on my mood. Similar to what someone else mentioned, bushmilloors tastes great as long as it's ice cold and I just got done mowing the lawn.

I brew too. Extract, but still...

mmm beer

Moretti Dark is good too!

Just assume I said the same thing that I say every time this thread comes along.

lol...is it decent enough beer to be worth it? $45 isn't too bad for a home delivered slab. :p

Nah, not really. It's just I was at the Great Britain on Saturday night, so it was fresh in my mind. It's much better value on tap.

Messrs Monty and Python have clearly never tried Anchor Steam.

I like Newcastle Brown Ale for some reason.

Well whatever the reason is, I suggest you discard it quickly. That stuff is terrible, and will lead to an odd compusion to wear flat caps, keep pigeons and start amateur whippet racing.

Not to mention it's bad finish, and the horrible hangovers it gives.

There is also a rumor - never substantiated - that the RVI has an entire ward full of people whose brains were destroyed from drinking it.

And if you don't know what the RVI is, you certianly shouldn't be touching the stuff.

aww... This appeared in the 'latest thread' menu as

"What's your favourite bee"

I can't help but be disappointed.

Beer. Ahh such a lovely liquid :D

Stella Artois for larger. Love it.

Bishops Tipple for Ale. Love it even more.

I vote for Bald-faced and/or Japanese Hornets!

Desperados. Has anyone else here had some of it? Good stuff.

Hoegarden, enjoy cold and remember to stir when half the bottle is served

Excellent

Ah well, bugger :p

starts with Co and ends with rona...
Co.. rona.. Corona? Hey! Me too!

When i can get it in london i opt for 'Erdinger'..and i have found a boozer in London that sells 'Dom', a Kolsch beer. If i am in Germany, especially the south it has to be 'Franziskaner'.

Becks...cuz i'm a weiner and can only drink wussy beer :) i'm more of a spirits gal

I love beer threads - I don't know why I enjoy reading these.

Boddingtons is a fine choice - tap is best but the cans are good also.

I can't narrow it down to one beer - there are so many fine beers out there. I prefer beer over any hard liquor - in fact, I rarely drink hard liquor.

Blue Moon Belgian White
Magic Hat No 9
Any Sam Adams creation (although the Winter Lager isn't my fave)
San Miguel (putang ina bitches!)
Guinness
Newcastle Brown Ale
Corona under the right conditions - ice cold, in the summer, lime is a must - it sucks without it

I get a different beer each time I go to the liquor store and I know I have forgotten some.

You'd better go back quick before someone nicks it!

My, by no means exhaustive, list:

UK: Tim Taylor's Landlord
Belgium: Chimay Bleu
Germany: Paulaner Salvator
USA: Saranac Pale Ale
Nigeria: Guinness
Corsica: Pietra
France: Jenlain Ambre
India: King Cobra
Japan: Orion Premium
Denmark: Carlsberg Elephant

My, by no means exhaustive, list:

Nigeria: Guinness

Uhh... what the hell?

At the minute: Anything by these wonderful people - Skye Brewery (http://www.skyebrewery.co.uk/skye.htm)
But particularly the Black Cuillin from cask. Well worth searching for.
Hobgoblin is my usual bottled beer, but at the minute, bottle conditioned Cloister by the Durham Brewery is going down well.

At the minute I'm being a scumbag and drinking Coronas (80p a bottle wewt!) but I'd highly recommend Lancaster Bomber, Goliath and London Pride. Also, if you like a fruity beer then go with the people who make tanglefoot.
