Just enjoying a sup of one of my faves - Young's Elysium, a lovely blonde beer made with elderflower. Available from Sainsbury's, and better when it has cooled out of the fridge, i.e. chill it, but then let cool for 30 minutes at room temp.

Also partial to a few bottles of Leffe at the moment.

So whats everyone elses current favourite/s?

 

I'm a larger drinker and my favourites are (not in order) Miller Genuine Draft, Fosters Ice, Budweiser, Budvar, Corona (Mexican beer)

I cannot stand Becks or Stella

Darren

 

Currently have a selection in the fridge for various moods. Corona (must be will a wedge of lime), Hoegaarden (both normal and grand cru), Duvel and Kwak. I even have the proper glasses for them, but not the Corona though as this is best out of the bottle.

Si

 

Budvar is an especially nice tipple; will no doubt be having a few in the little Belgian bar up the road tonight.

Other faves are; Leffe Blonde, Hoegaarden and Duvel.

 

I like a bottle of Kwak or 2 as well, although the glass is a bitch to clean and fragile in its bizarre wooden holder.

I'm about to enjoy an Erdinger Pikantus followed by a bottle of Marstons Pedigree I was lucky enough to pick up in Spain, it's been about a year since I had a pint of bitter- I've even got a pint glass to drink it out of.

 

not bottled but Timmy Taylors, Barnsley Bitter.

 

Nacro,

Is Kwak the one where you have a bulbous glass ball with a sort of long spout that you drink it through, and then the whole thing sits in a wooden handle and base?

If that makes any sense - Looks a bit like left overs from a chemistry set!

 

Really like Corona but its now becoming so it won't be long before every pikey drinks it then it'll be uncool!

 

Just tucking into nice cold bottle of Heineken
Could also do Asahi or Stella or Becks though

 

Yes it is Vatanen- looks like a test tube or something- I've polished it off while watching the semi-naked old skool pop stylings of something good on top of the pops for a change. Off out to hit some bars now.

 

Nastro Azzuro (Try it then you can post it)

 

sb - that happend about 10 years ago!

welcome to the rest of the world

i'm still with budvar, btw. 500ml brown bottles, not the ponce green once with only 330ml

 

howsabout Benedictus from Durham Brewery

I've had it out of the barrel and it's 8.4% but you can get it in bottles.

3 pints of the stuff in one night as it tastes beautiful but I then lost the next 4 days coming round...

it slips down a treat as it hasn't got that strong ale taste like a lot of other stuff but it's got a hell of a kick after a few too many

 

budvar,budvar,budvar....the original budweiser,brewed by the czech's.

BM

 

Not in scotland - its really only in the last year or so you'll see every punter buying the stuff.

 

Firecrest, Wychwood brew from Sainsbury's, 6%, pure quality

Leffe is ok, in fact most beers are preferable in a glass bottle, Tennents Super is cannot be ruined even by a can.

 

Rolling rock

no bitternes, no hoppy taste clean and smooth


gave up on bitter a long time ago



stella & fosters blerghhh tastes like reprocessed urine

Budvar definitely - Given the choice I'd always drink it, unfortunately due to the amount I actually drink I'm usually on the Fosters

 

Go for the proper Belgium bottled stuff. Kwak counts, and yes it is the stuff that is served in a chemistry set.

Have still got a few bottles of "delerium tremens" in my cupboard, 9%, drink a few of those and you can see why they called it that. Leffe, Chimay (both Red & Blue) were both good. An old mate had parents over in Belgium. In his kitchen he'd managed to make a display of nearly 200 different empty belgian beer bottles. Nearly all good, nearly all strong - I remember a "low alcohol" one at 2.something%, which made me laugh. Theyalso did some lovely fruit beers, which were pretty strong and just tasted like e.g. Ribena only nicer!

Still like a good real English bitter on tap, but the belgians make good stuff for bottling

 

I'll second Asahi, great Japanese beer that is far too easy to drink

 

Corona and Sol are currently taking up residence in our fridge, even the wife likes Sol!!

CRAFT

 

Grolsch - 2 litre pop-top bottles

 

exactly

 

u can't beat old peculiar for a head rush

 

domestic violence

 

London Pride's particularly nice from a bottle

 

Budvar
Tsing Tao

 

bishops finger for a dark beer

and perroni (nastro for a blonde)

 

A bottle of cold Wife Beater goes down nicely, but in all honesty you should be drinking pints and pints of John Smith's Cask - a proper drink from god's country - YORKSHIRE!

 

A few to try there then

I usually drink bitter, but have been on the Belgium beers for a few years now.
