Homebrew Primaris army - My new favourite, like my Ultras/Carling, but just a lot more personal love for it. Stella Artois for me.

Guardsmen: So many different elements of them, can love playing them one day, and tired of them the next - John Smiths or Guinness?

But John Smiths is fething weak, IG teir-wise are not. Faithful 22 CP battery, etc.

Also, you live in Northamptonshire? You poor bugger!

Maybe Guard are a good whiskey or Rum, pretty good alone, very popular in a mix?

you mean vanilla coke

no I mean Coca-Cola. Ultramarines are the snorm, the gold standard, what everything else is compared to, that is normal Coke, Vanilla coke is "the standard with a twist" by that regard, vanilla coke would be Imperial firsts or raven guard or something

When I think Guard, I think a decent session ale. Founder's All Day IPA is a favorite of mine. Just like guard, it's cheap but efficient, it's low strength but high in flavor, and takes a bit of getting used to.

Imperial Guard is Sandels.

Sandels is a brand of beer named after a marshal war hero who liked good food and a good drink. The labels of every can and bottle tell anecdotes of his tactical prowess and his love of beer.

It's also the best beer there is. Well fitting for the best army in the game.

A fine pint of Trollbrew shandy!

Natural Ice for my Blood Angels.

Natural Ice is crap whose only redeeming quality is that it gets you drunk, my army is crap whose only redeeming quality is that it can be used to play the game.

That's why I have lots and lots of it!

Burton, the Carling brewery isn't actually that far from the Games Workshop there!

(Not that I live in Burton any more, but I still go back from time to time - just like the beer!)

take a wild guess what Army I play

White Russian= I’m starting a Valhallan regiment
Blue Hawaii= my tau

Re: guard being a session beer, ...and you need a lot of ‘em to have any noticeable effect!

I play Emperor's Children.

So the beer that best identifies would have to be a Russian Imperial Stout. A very heavy dark brew, incredibly rich, and an insane ABV. Nothing says Slaanesh quite like an over the top rich dark brew that will knock you on your ass if you try to have more than two glasses.

Harlequin: a nice zesty lambic or saison. Fresh, powerful and can result in serious self-damage

My ultramarines are like hoegaarden

Stella, 'Reassuringly Expensive'. Although I'd appreciate it if GK got a points decrease. Or a second psychic discipline.

Propeller IPA for my Tyranids. They're good for getting hammered.

orks - yuengling, cheap, available everywhere in the market where they serve it. is a great beer in its own right.

eldar - ameretto sour old shool, delicious, classic

alpha legion - red bull and vodka... is it a stumilant, is it a depressant?

custodes - goldschlager, everything is gold

Definitely feeling the Arrogant Bastard for Khorne Daemons, but I'm gonna go with Collective Arts for Tzeentch/Slaanesh: each can has a work of art portrait on it, and each blend has like 4 different portrait options. So you can get a four pack of one flavor, and each can will look different. Gives the change and the excess of artwork for it. Plus, the beer is bloody delicious! Last I knew, Canadian brew was disgusting (Molson was my first Canadian beer experience), but Collective Arts is one of my favorite companies!

Custodes: A very old, extremely expensive whiskey, blessed by the pope.

Death Guard - Straight English Gin. Many people thinks its disgusting, but I love it dearly.

Astra Militarum it would be a variety pack of Sam Adams, just like the IG.
For the Black Legion it has to be Guiness.

I was thinking that I had no idea how to tie a beer to my main army and then it just hit me! Yuengling Porter! A rarely seen (around here) version of a common mainline beer brand that offers much more flavor. I feel like that fits my Silver Skulls almost perfectly.

I'm not a beer drinker but I play Space Marines like they're Guard (Tactical squads coming out of my ears) so I'd go for something mass produced but tasty like coke or Lion Red (Asahi super dry seeing as I live in Japan now) if I was a beer drinker.

Eldar - mead. Sweet of tongue, but hits hard if you don’t keep an eye on it.

AdMech - a nitro coffee stout. Basic science that sounds steampunk, but goes down very smoothly.

suppose that essentially makes the Imperium Wetherspoons. Which fits an empire of soulless shells ruled by a lifeless, hubristic husk.

Guinness.

Because it is black.

Guard should be Veltins. Because it is very popular in those girly-mixed-versions.
The bottle of Veltins Energy is blue - Guard mixed with Ultramarines.
Veltins Curuba tastes more exotic and is golden - mixed with Custodes.
Veltins Apple is green - I'll use it for Knights, because mine are green...

Blood Angels would be more like some dry red wine... I do not know any beer from Romainia. But if there is a beer from Transsilvania, nothing would fit better. ^^

My Tau derinitly are a type of Kölsch (Cologne-Beer): Nobody likes it but the people from Cologne and it gets a lot of hate.

My custodes would probably be Cockpuncher. Golden, fruity IPA with a hell of a kick, 11% but tastes like 5%.

Dark Eldar would probably be some kind of Black IPA. Sharp, hoppy with lots of nuanced flavour, but disguised as a dark beer

Black Legion would probably be some kind of bourbon aged imperial stout. Super dark and feth you right up. Kentucky Bastard or some such.
