Yellowhammer IPA (Black Isle Brewery)

 

[scowy68]

German beer is my fav.

These few have gone down well on recent visit.

Paulaner.
Franzikhaner.
Kolsch.
Gutmann.

Couldn't agree more. Most German beers are great (don't touch Sternburg, though). Czech beer is also top.

I'm back to Munich In December.Any other beers you can recommend?

 

[GazM]

Theakston's Old Peculiar
McKewan's Export
London Pride
Holsten Pils
Kronenberg
Stella Artois

Can't think of too may I don't like, other than wish-washy American pish (Bud, Coors) - but each to their own.

Try any from the smaller, local breweries as they have a sharper taste. I'm not too hot on Munich beers, but I'd recommend Altenburger and Fiedler (especially the Bockbier) from this part of the country.

I love these threads.

Always turns out to be some 40+ know it all on an overdose of testosterone who basically wont accept people like different things and your only a man if you drink the real ales and dark bitters that he drinks. If you drink lager than apparently you drink piss.

To answer the OP; im a lager man and the only bitter I can drink is Boddies. Peroni is my favourite lager and an old school Bud goes down well when the mood is right.

Quite like South American lager too.

Dark bitters? Do you mean milds, porters and stouts? Let me tell you young man that a woman is often attracted to a man with a pint of mild. She may be malodorous, partially bearded and wearing a cardigan that is starting to unravel and is tied with string but attracted she will be.

ah! that should make the beer taste better then

 

[markbmcfc]

Haha.

In seriousness, I like a bit of Fiddlers Elbow from time to time, and I enjoy Newcastle Brown to be fair.

To me though, sunny day, beer garden, pint of Peroni - bliss.

 

[squirtyflower]

used to love a pint of boddies through the 70s and 80s, but the stuff they produce now is not boddies by any stretch

frequent the fringe bar now for a nice peach beer

 

[sweynforkbeard]

Most beers brewed by Phoenix, Pictish, Marble, Durham and Dark Star.

 

[NEBlue1]

Boulevard Wheat out of Kansas City is my default; if I can't decide what to buy, I'll buy that.

Apart from that, in no particular order:
Strongbow
Woodchuck Amber (Vermont's answer to Strongbow, basically)
Guinness Extra Stout
Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA
Spaten Optimator
Samuel Adams Coastal Wheat
Leffe

Local beers (not including Boulevard, as KC is four hours from here):
Lucky Bucket craft lager (Papillion, Nebraska)
Empyrean Lunasea ESB (Lincoln, NE)

I should probably also mention that I work in a wine + spirits shop, so I like to think I know a bit about this stuff.

 

[Thatchersforearm]

Draught beer: Heineken
Bottled: MGD
Bitter: Boddies
Other: Guiness

 

[casebian]

Leffe Dark, sipped while lounging in a Belgian square...

Fruit beers... see above.

Newky Brown... replace Belgian square with riverside vista...

Ice cold Guinness... anywhere.

leffe is a cracking beer mate just got in to this in the last few months you get pretty pissed off it to got to be nice and cold

 

[TTTCITYBHOY]

Bottle of Stella in my gub just now(with a DASH of lime).Also Peroni,fukn lovely.
In pub,defo Cold Guinness.

 

[Feed-The-Goat]

A few to choose from really.

Becks is probably my favourite. I have a soft spot for Magners and Heineken aswell.

I'm with you lads. I'm off to a stag in dusseldorf and i'm really looking forward to the local beers. I could cry I love Paulaner Pils that much!
I've had some cracking Belgian stuff in my time too although you need to treat them as a wine, they're not session beers, fantastic with certain foods.
I also love smithwicks, an Irish Ale that I had neglected for years but now thwe love affair has started all over again!

 

[Balti]

Orkney Dark Island - my absolute all-time favourite but very closely followed by:
Jennings Snecklifter
Theakstons Old Peculiar
Black Sheep Riggwelter
Dent Owd Tup
and
Robbys Old Tom
and John Willies Moonraker at the falling over quickly end of the market
but delighted to find:
Sir Joseph Holts Mild & Bitter, Brains Dark Mild, Shropshire Lad, Bluebird, Aviator, Feeling Foul Double Dragon, ESB (and Fullers Winter Warmer), Yewbarrow, Schiehallion, Brodies Prime, Doris's 90th, Summer Lightning, Sarah Hughes Dark Ruby, anything by Kelham Island/ Marble Stout, anything by Oakham, anything else by Orkney, most stuff from Phoenix especially Wobby Bob, Darkn Side of the Moose, anything by RCH, anything from St Austell, Shropshire Gold, Sam Smiths OBB cos its dirt cheap and can be well decent, Timmy Taylors Dark Mild, anything from Titanic, Traquair Jacobite although they don't like selling it to Sassenachs.., 6X if its well looked after, Weetwood Old Dog, All seasons, Wickwar Station Porter, owt from Woodfordes

Failing that then I'll have to settle for summat else I suppose but not that tasteless fizzy stuff they call lager. Yes there are some good lagers out there especially on the continent where it's easier to find a decent pillsner but most of the mass market stuff here is just piss and so I'll go for Guinness in a crisis situation where there are no real ales and no decent bottled belgian beers to be had.

 

[markyboyblue]

In these days of the austerity I have been mostly drinking from the can, I do find Stella Artois to be very palatable at this time of year, or any other for that matter. It does depend on what one is eating, 7 or 8 cans with a kebab any more I do find I am normally eating my own vomit.


Agree with the posts on here about German beers they are quality.

 

[BlueMo']

Guinness in the boozer.
Becks or the bottles of German lager
from Aldi or Lidl whilst at home.
