What beer do you drink?

[BoyBrumby]

Treated myself to a Green King Head Brewer's selection from Sainsburys yesterday. Features two bottles of each of Green King IPA, Green King IPA Gold, Old Speckled Hen & Old Golden Hen.

Good value at only a tenner, IMHO. Old Golden Hen was the winner for my quid. Lovely clean, bitter taste with a refreshing, dry finish. Notes of tropical fruit and elderflowers on the afters.

Really getting into Erdinger Alkoholfrei this weekend. It's so good.

YorksLanka, what's your malt of choice?

Hi Furball, favourite is Edradour and also very keen on auchentoshan...recently taken a liking to Glenlivit too....what about you mate?

 

[Furball]

Got a bottle of Highland Park 12yo in the cupboard, had a couple of drams watching the referendum result.

Quite like Dalwhinnie as well, and there's ankther Speyside I'm quite a big fan of but for the life of me can't remember the name...

Look, just because they plaster the town with ads for the alcohol free version doesn't mean you have to buy it.

 

[Furball]

Meant I could have a couple of beers at the expo without feeling guilty though.

Everyone got a free beer after the race as well and there's some interesting sport science as to the merits of alcohol free beer as an aid to recovery.

Just picked up a few bottles of that Stone Collab Mocha Stout. Can't wait to try it!

Social media is my primary source of knowing when my local spots gets stuff in. Get on it!

Re-read the last few pages and can say that those who vouched for:

Windhoek
Coopers Sparkling
PBR

Were correct.

And those who had Toohey's as the best of the four crappy Australian lagers were oh so wrong

Anyone tried sour beer? Seems to be becoming a bit of a fad in some Auckland bars. I've had two - the first one was called Roll in the Hay and it was pretty good. Then there was a Tamarillo Sour, which was awful.

 

[Pratters]

Budweiser, Kingfisher Ultra and Hoegarden

 

[Senile Sentry]

Guinness, Heineken, Carlsberg and Tuborg.

 

[sledger]

Aren't Carlsberg and Tuborg basically the same thing?

 

[Senile Sentry]

Yeah same company - Tuborg Strong 8% one. The other one is Carlsberg green 4% strong one.

 

[superkingdave]

Marble Lagonda IPA the choice at the moment, keeping it local.

 

[GIMH]

Guinness still my ultimate favourite but more of an ale man these days.

 

[vogue]

Guinness , Peroni and Black Sheep..also don't mind Old Peculier and have some Blue Moon in to try..but it's American so I'm not sure if it will be any good?..

Evolution of a ripper.

2007

Tooheys extra drys...no contest

So inexperienced young padawan. I owe this to a 30 day Uni bender that I believe I was in the middle of.

Coldies are alright IMO, not great, just alright. VB in a can is the worst.

VB continues to be ****.

Guiness...only on st paddys day and only in pints and only until i pass out

This also continues to be true....just without the passing out, now it's until mrs ripper says it's home time...
2009/10

TEDS are still my wife, though Miller Genuine Draught is my lover.

I had horrible taste in women.

Fisher Price's "My First Beer".

Heh. fair.

Hahn Super Dry has become my beer of choice recently, smooth drinking.
Tooheys Extra Dry always has a place in my heart, love the bit of bite it has.
Beez Neez on tap occasionally, as well as Bluetongue and Little Creatures. And Coopers Pale Ale.

Will drink pretty much any beer basically.

Bold stays true.

Having now lived in the UK for 12 months I'd like to think my palette is more refined. I generally still stick to the standard lagers to begin (Amstel, Peroni etc) while avoiding Carlsberg/Fosters and dabble in various the ales and pales when the will takes me.

Discovered possibly my favorite beer of all time while in Cheltenham at a bar called John Gordons. Curious Brew is it's name, and it's ****ing delicious. Can get it by the bottle at Waitrose but on tap in a pint it was a lifesaver after a long day.

I'm just killing time waiting for the clock to hit 5pm....slow day...

This is because you drank Extra Dry.

 

[Marcuss]

New is still ****

 

[vic_orthdox]

Tooheys everything is awful.

I still not fussy, VB best for a proper session.

Came across "Sample Golden Ale" recently, a lovely drop. Anything James Squires tickles the fancy too.
