So, I love beer. Just curious as to what everyone's favorite beer is or best beer you've ever had. I had a 2004 Old Ale by North Coast Brewing just a month ago and it was amazing.

Sorry friend, beer discussion is well underway. Ale does sound good right now though.

That one had gone too far into the other alcohols. I don't like my beer threads diluted with mention of the *other* fermentations...

Well, as stated earlier I'm a Budweiser man, but when the cash is plentiful I like a nice ale or cider as much as the next man. Fat tire, woodchuck, Amberboch, etc...

One of my fondest beer memories occured last year. I have some family that owns some farmland. My dad and I had spent a good portion of the day fishing for Crappie and small-mouth bass. We were slaying those fish big time. We met my uncles and my grandpa at a pond just off the highway. My uncle has a habit of keeping a cooler full of beer and firearms in his truck. We enjoyed some suds and took turns shooting at snakes and turtles that were attempting to cross the pond. Good times, good times.

Tuborg is a lovely crisp lager if you ever get the chance to sample it. Comes in a cracking bottle too.

I've never had Tuborg. I'll have to see if my sister can sneak me back a bottle from the old empire.

Yuengling Lager FTW.

Did you just put lager FTW? Haha... shoot man, can't say I've ever had a lager that made me sit and think about it. Now I have had lagers that quench my thirst quite well which is where mr. yuengling comes in. Too bad I have to drive to get that stuff though, with summer coming up I would enjoy a few.

Guinness.

The discussion ends.


Although, I did have a nice pint once, made by a local brewery, called 'Saxon Berserker'! 14% and sooooo good.

I guess ill be the 1st to promote the chav like carling

I used to be all about Killians, but I've started not liking it so much of late. Now, I tend to drink Spaten when I go out with the lads - there's a biergarten in town that has Optimator on tap, which is strong, delicious, and tons of fun to order

Though I'll admit I'm a liquor man 98% of the time.

Red Stripe? A little Jerk chicken and some Red Stripe makes for a good meal.

Red Stripe's a corker. Good choice.

Kroenenberg, Carlsberg Export (never normal Carlsberg) and Holsten Pils are all good too.

Becks.
Tsingtao.
Hoegaarden.
Sapporo Black Label.
Yebisu Premium Malts.
Anything by Fullers, e.g. London Pride and Extra Special Bitter.
Cains of Liverpool do an excellent range.
I’ve got a soft spot for Young’s Oatmeal.
Wychwood Breweries do several excellent beers.

No you guys need to try arrogant bastard ale now that is a beer that will make you sit back and think mmmmmm beer.

Arrogant Bastard's a a good'un.

I had a couple of pints of really tasty stouts while I was going around England this past winter. Better than Guinness even (I still like Guinness, incidentally).

I am a beer snob and mostly only drink Belgian tripel ales. I think Bud should be outlawed.

Quick what beer is in your fridge right now.

I got:
Left Hand Milk Stout
Old Rasputin

Just Kronenberg and Carlsberg (not mine...) in my fridge.

My fridge is usually full of Belgian ales.

My favorite beers are Harp and whatever is free.

Local: Coopers (green) or Cascade pale.

Imports: Molsons is quite nice. I can take Stella in small doses, too.

Not keen on Weissbiers at all (the latest fad here.)

Regardless what your favorite beer is, don't dispose of it like this.

Cheddar valley cider ftw. It comes in a big plastic keg and lists it's strength as 6-16%. They make a huge batch every autumn and it continues to ferment all year long In September it is a refreshing drink, around this time of year it has the bikers at my local seeing pixies within 5 or so pints.

There's a great brewery near Liverpool called Phoenix. Pretty much every beer they make is top-notch (White Monk being perhaps the finest beer ever made).

BrewDog (http://www.brewdog.com/) also makes fantastic ale.

As for Lagers (shudder) the only one worth drinking is Budvar. Original and best.

In my fridge at the moment I have (beers).

5/6 of a 6pack of Cascade pale.
3 Bottles of Stella
8 bottles of Coopers Green
1 bottle of "old speckled hen"

(had a party - someone bought the OSH and left it behind.)
