I've started to get a taste for good beer now. I've tried a lot of different types of beer, but my favourite has to be Budweiser. And I don't mean the dishwater that's made in America. I mean the original Czech pilsner that's called Budweiser Budvar. It's just so much better than any of the usual popular beers that I've ever tasted.

What's your favourite beer?

Duvel.. Because Duvel lovers are better lovers!!!!!:D

This thread is just asking for me to post in.

I can't choose a favorite because there are so many good ones, but I've recently tried this one clicky (http://beeradvocate.com/news/stories_read/666) and it was really good.

Dragon Stout, let me say that again but louder.

DRAGON STOUT. It's a Jamacian beer 7.5% umm nice.

ermm possibly thwaites lanky B, or Hobgoblin although Goliath alright, most real ales are nice really, but yeah Fosters goes really nice with a double Vodka

NSG can't go a single day without a beer thread can it? :D

Hmm, I like "Sloeber", "Palm", "Hollandia", "Hoegaarden" and many other beers. I also like the "SC 2006" beer but it was specially made for me and some friends :) Thus there is only 30 litres of it :(

I'm mostly a bourbon drinker, but beer tastes good on a hot day. The best big brewery stuff I've had in the United States is "Sam Adams". The best small brewery drink is "Red Hook", although there is a brewery in Boston called IPA that is pretty good, too.

dutch beer. best evar.

I have probably forgotten the name of the brewery. They had a little bar at the airport and a bartender that insisted we try all the varieties. How's Harpoon sound?

Harpoon sounds fun there may be an IPA brewery but over here IPA means a yeasty strong ale so i dunno either

Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale.

I have several favourites. They include: Guinness, Newcastle, Blue Paddle, Fat Tire, Sudwerk Marzen, Chimay Bleu, and the scotch ale from a local brewery. I'm a dark beer kinda gal. :)

Things I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole: Coors/Bud/Miller, Keystone Ice/Light, Natural Ice/Light... basically anything with "light" in its name. Yuck.

Polar and Solera.

'nuff said

Heh thats coz like religion it matters!

I can see that, alcohol seems to have a magical power on some people.

Alcohol is God,

"And the time had come for the Ending of all thing so The Most Holy BArman did ring seven bells, and lo there apeared on the horizan four Horsemen, the first on a burberry horse came bringing violence and terror upon all, the second on a horse of Donner meat brought great illness upon the people of the pub, the third clad in a might nighy brought much denial of sex and a great sleeping on the sofas of hell. And finally the last and greatest horseman brought with him the promise of work in the morning and at his side was the mighty hammer of Hangovers"
Closing times 3:2 verses 21 - 25

Today I am mostly drinking Leffe.

Alcohol is God,

And no-one has ever been burned to death or blown up for drinking the wrong sort of beer ;)

true, round here the worst you can expect is to be labeled a soft sourthern nancy or similar. It's a sign worship the holy ABV% in all it's fermented glory.

I am a big fan of Lindemans fruit lambics. Mmm, delicious girly-beer. :p

Every lambic I've ever tried has tasted like cough syrup.

All I really remember from that afternoon was a big handle in front of me that read "IPA". I'm sure it was India Pale Ale. Harpoon is on my expense receipt, so that must be the brewery name.

The beer in Kenya was nice, Tusker, or perhaps it was just because it was so cheap;)

The Beer Prayer

Our Lager,
Which art in barrels,
Hallowed be thy drink.
Thy will be drunk, (or I will be drunk,)
At home as it is in the tavern.
Give us this day our foamy head,
And forgive us our spillage,
As we forgive those who spill against us.
And lead us not to incarceration,
But deliver us from hangovers.
For thine is the beer, the bitter and the lager.

Barmen


- I like a Killians or other Irish Reds. Rouge brewery is also good.

I quite like the cherry lambics every now and then, but I can't drink too many in one go - they're too sweet

You must never have been to Yorkshire.They burn people for even asking for things like Fosters or Budwiser.;)

Alexander Keith's-one of the worst ever

I like many beers-amstel pale, duvel, palm, and unlike many who prefer to slam them I like american beers too... I had some beer from that mormon state(Utah?) so little alcohol in it I thought what's the point, might as well have a Pepsi.

And a BAD liquid that is sold under the appellation of "beer":

i happen to like coors....... and bud too

unlike many who prefer to slam them I like american beers too...

Someone inflicted a can of Budweiser on me once. It was the first and only time that I encountered a beer so disgusting I couldn't actually drink it. Some of the stuff coming out of the American microbreweries, however, is quite good.

Oh God.I made the mistake of ordering a pint of that once.It smelled cat piss and I imagine it tasted similar

Tiger is really, really nice.

What's your favourite beer?

1) Sam Adams lager--gotta love an American beer that can be imported into Germany
2) Beck's
3) Pilsner Urquell (sp?)

Mmmm... Tuborg, beer of the Danish kings...

What's your favourite beer?

The one that gets me drunk:D Its tough to say since I like many. I do like Guinness though. Coors light on the other hand is piss.

What's you're excuse for not drinking beer?

What's you're excuse for not drinking beer?

yes, I would like to hear the answer.

I was going to post about how divine Guinness is... but then I realised the whole thread was sarcastic.

It must be... seriously. Bud is a 'beer'? 'Sam Adams'?

I'm with the author of the thread - Budvar is quite possibly the best beer I've ever tasted

How can you only ever have tasted one beer?

What's your favourite beer?

I go by the philosophy "Think globally, drink locally." So whatever is good and local. Usually the local beer tastes better when you can get it where it is brewed, e.g. the Guinness tastes better in Ireland.

My local microbrewery

I've yet to find a bad one from this brewery.

Black Cuillin is my personal favourite, towards the stouter end of the spectrum.

I recently holidayed 10 minutes walk from the Kirkstile Inn (http://www.kirkstile.com/), home to the Loweswater Brewery. Much Grasmoor was drunk.

Two recent dicoveries are welsh, but I've forgotten their names. Can you guess how?

Welsh beer? Imagine trying to order one a few beers into the evening.

I'll recommend Trois Pistoles.

I just remembered them, and fortunately they had welsh/english names.

Cwrw Mel / Honey Fayre
Arbennig / Special
Both from Conwy Brewery.
Trickier was the Gaelic for the whisky afterwards (try getting Laphroaig right after 4 pints). Mmm, that was a good night, shame about this morning. :(

Gulden Draak, Orval, Stone russian stout, anchor steam
