Beer Glorious Beer

[david.dakota]

Just in time for the end of Summer... Great timing...

We've all got our favourite drinks, beer, wine, vodka... The list goes on. So, here's the place to recommend your favourite drinks to the rest of the forum.

Shall i start? Oh, alright then.

I'm a sucker for real ales. Woods Brewery, just down the road makes some great drinks, Shropshire Lad being their flagship drink (deservedly so). We've actually got quite a few small brewers locally, which is great. However, its Hobgoblin Dark Ale (made by the Wychwood Brewery, not near us) is an absolute favourite. A deliciously different drink- i can easily polish off an 8 pack in a night.

Also of note is a local pub which sells Strawberry and Cherry Beer from the Continent- Fruli.

Bulmers Pear Cider. Sweeter than usual cider (which can taste a bit too sharp) and more refreshing than beer. I don't even like pears but I love that drink

[conzer16]

I'm a Guinness man.

Or Heineken.

Or any kind of local brew.

Or basically whatever is cheapest.

It really annoys me when they do that, there's no such thing as pear cider, it's called perry. They only call it pear cider because nobody would know what it was if they called it by it's proper name, people should bloody well educate themselves.

[Charlie]

Hmm, favourite beer.

Tennents is usually the cheapest on offer so I quite often just go with that. Other than that I like Bud, Fosters and Heineken.

I also love Koppearberg. :)

[Babooo]

Corona. Fosters. Kingfisher. Cobra.

I'm sure we had this thread really recently, but I can't find the other one so I'll let it go.

I like Kopparberg (if I can find it at a sensible price, £3+ in the pub = extortion), most lagers except a few (Carling and Stella are no-nos for me), soco, vodka, gin... and the kind of oversweet overfizzy cider you buy in giant bottles for £3.

[Sooj]

I love Koppearberg, Cobra and Kingfisher.

I also want to try and acquire a taste for wine :P

[Dan Dare]

Wine is for winners.

Beer wise, I do love a local beer by the name of Moonshine. It's rather nice, and pretty dirt cheap, being brewed in the city.

Also: Hoegaarden (sp?) is the single greatest drink ever. I'm thinking of asking the government to replace my water supply with the stuff.

Same here actually. :heh: :smile:

[Mundi]

I haven´t got a wealth of info when it comes to beer but my normal choice is Stella.

A million and one wife beaters can't be wrong.

[welsh_gamer]

Alcopops ftw!

I don't drink proper beer at all, and wouldnt say I have a favourite alcoholic drink but I do enjoy a Cheeky Vimto, Vodka Lemonade and Lime or a glass of Toffoc (Toffee Vodka) sometimes.

[Jimbob]

Numerous different lagers and beers pass my lips weekly, my personal favourites at the moment are Fosters, McEwans, Brains Smooth and Stella Bock.

[Jav_NE]

Becks, Bud, Kronenburg, Corona, Ashali, San Miguel, Cobra, Coors (in no particular order)

Can't stand Fosters, Carling or Stella. Urgh.

[Dan Dare]

Coors? Bud? bllllleeeeuuugh!

[Jav_NE]

Yeah, Coors is my cheap option, and it reminds me of time spent in America, but i've always liked Bud.

[Pookiablo]

Coors? Bud? bllllleeeeuuugh!

Nowt wrong with a Coors or Bud on a nice hot day!

As for me, love the real ales but my all-time favourite drink is Guinness, but I do love Abbot, Best Bitter, Theakston's Old Peculier, London Pride, and pretty much all of the Bath ales. Other ales I like but only rarely have because they're not very often found near me are Landlord and Bellringer. If you haven't tried a Bath ale then you haven't lived in my opinion - if you like your ales strong go for Barnstormer but Gem, Wild Hare or Spa are pretty good standard ales. Best thing about Ales is that they're just so damn cheap at Spoons - 1.79 is such a bargain!!!

Also, next time anyone's in Asda, go to the drinks section (not sure if it's actually stocked next to the beer, might be another aisle) and get yourself a Dragon Stout. It's absolutely divine and incredibly strong!

[Gaijin von Snikbah]

I only drink Vodka and Coke. Dont really want anything else.

[uəʌəsʎɐɾ]

Bulmers Pear Cider. Sweeter than usual cider (which can taste a bit too sharp) and more refreshing than beer. I don't even like pears but I love that drink

What usual cider are you drinking?

(I liek, like cider, zomg)

[The Bard]

I'm a Guinness man.

Or Heineken.

Or any kind of local brew.

Or basically whatever is cheapest.

Same here. Guinness and Heineken all the way.

Apart from that, I'll probably drink anything over 35%.

I also love Archers. Because I'm a woman.

[Shorty]

I also love Koppearberg. :)I love Koppearberg
Not to be picky but, lol. It's Kopparberg, it doesn't actually have the word 'pear' in it.

[Zell]

I do like a cold Guinness but only when it's cold and out the tap. I've tried a couple of other stouts but I didn't like them too much.

I usually go for 5% lagers, I haven't picked up a taste for ale yet. I have some cider from time to time, usually Magners. It's a nice taste, but not if you have it too often.

[JonSt]

Bud, Millers, Corona it's all good.

[Dog-amoto]

1664 or Becks for me.

And Guinness.

[BeerMonkey]

Stella :D

the pub near me has got carling premier on tap and that stuff is LOVELY

also drink fosters, carling, carlsberg and budweiser.

[Fierce_LiNk]

Are you angry at Bulmers or Ninty182? Because you can't really be angry at a person for calling a drink the same name that is printed on the bottle. :heh: It'd be like calling Coca Cola "Pepsi" when it blatantly says "Coca Cola" on the bottle.

Ok, there are a few things I love.

Brothers Strawberry Cider. I don't care about percentage or if it gets me "wrecked." I like the taste. Pure and simple, if it tastes shit to me, I won't drink it, no matter the effects.

Strongbow Jacques Fruit Cider is another one of my loves. As well as the obligatory Magners or Bulmers, hehe. :)

I'd say I go for flavour or taste more than anything. I don't really like most bears, except maybe a Corona or Bud every now and again.

ive seen that stuff advertised in pubs but ive never actually seen it ive tryed askin in a few places but they always never have it or just have the pear flavour.

I only know a handful of places that do sell the strawberry one quite regularly. As a birthday pressie, a good friend of mine turned up at my house with a load of the stuff. I would've made love to her right there and then, had it not been for her big Dutch boyfriend. Also, she's a like a sister to me. (dunno why I said that second).

But yes, it's good stuff. Most people find it too much or too sweet after the first bottle or two, but I love it.

[DCK]

Grolsch, Hertog Jan, Jupiler and Duvel are my favourites.

All brands named so far are frankly horrible to my taste (except Heineken and Stella somewhat), but you can't help being British :wink: The really good stuff isn't really sold over there as far as I know. The Irish, however, know how to brew a beer.

[BeerMonkey]

o i like turborg as well drunk loads of the stuff at download from the stalls and drink it when i can at clubs/pubs now

[MoogleViper]

Bulmers Pear Cider. Sweeter than usual cider (which can taste a bit too sharp) and more refreshing than beer. I don't even like pears but I love that drink

That's because that drink has never seen a pear.

Best typo ever

[Fierce_LiNk]

Best typo ever

Haha, I didn't even realise I had done that. I only just realised when I saw Letty's sig.

[Nami]

Also: Hoegaarden (sp?) is the single greatest drink ever. I'm thinking of asking the government to replace my water supply with the stuff.

I ain't thought about that drink for years!! - I had a bit of a fad on it for a while, next time I spot it I might have to treat myself.
Yep and I'm another sucker for the Kopparberg, definitely been a favourite this year. I do still lov my lagers, particularly heiniken, carslberg export and grolsh, most of them if there over 5% non of that wishy woshy carling trash!! Oooh and I lov southern comfort if a feel rich one night too :yay:

[Dan Dare]

I actually need to retract my previous statement. Drank some crazy Belgian monk beer last night that is, quite possibly, made from God's tears.

Religious orders to tend to make the best drinks.

[Ganepark32]

I don't drink much beer anymore. More of a wine man now. But when I do drink the odd beer I go for things like Cobra, San Miguel, Becks (has to be bottles though. Tastes awful out of a can), and Peroni. And if I'm not drinking beer or wine for some reason I cna be found drinking apple sourz like its water. Tastes nice though.

[Dan Dare]

quite ironic, really.

[rokhed00]

quite ironic, really.

Nah, they're always guzzling the old vino in the bible.

Wonderful hoe, awesome beer, you should try Lowenbrau as well, also knocks the socks of anything else, in general, german beer is awesome.

I drink fosters and Miller is a great drink, I'll drink Corona as well, but normally fosters.

Stella is awful as is Carling and Carlsberg.

Oh and if you can find it buy it, I drank it in Oz, its called Coopers Original Pale Ale, they sell it in Majestic beers and wines, or whatever its called, deffo worth a buy.

[Chris the great]

i drink most things though cant remember my last alco pop (got big into them in first year uni, and then havent had many since.

onto the beers

i like just about everything, even fosters, which is mainly due to the price. i like stella, coors, bud, 1664, carlsberg,

real ales are also good gotten into em of late, try black sheep, high 5 to he whom mentioned old peculiar, abbots foot, strong arm, hobgoblin is good

cider is my usual drink of choice though, strongbow being usual due to price, or a pint of scrummpy if ive been good that week. used to love pear kopperberg but i seem to have developed an alergy to it, so shal steer clear from now on. bulmers and magners are both fine, though having to karry a giant bottle and a pint of ice around makes me feel vulnerable to attack.

hogaarden is difficult to place, its a unique drink really. very good taste.

my mates seem into the borthers strawberry cider, which is like drinking syrup.

not a huge fan of the vino, red wine is my least fave, as it usualy gives me a horrible headache when i wake up, i can stomach rosa if sharing with a female friend, as they seem to love it, but my fave is white wine, which i have been known to partake in on several ocashions.

big fan of jack, got an almost finnished bottle in my room now, which i havent been mixing, as im recently developed a taste for it neat. voldka and a mixer is fine, though not fond of it neat. sambuca is also a hit, as is morgans spiced rum.

all time favorite drink is southern comfort, which is great mixed with coke, lemondae or on the rocks.

[RoadKill]

Also: Hoegaarden (sp?) is the single greatest drink ever. I'm thinking of asking the government to replace my water supply with the stuff.

Fuck yeah, wheat/white beer is the greatest, I suggest you try.. pretty much any other type from the supermarket, and you'll probably like them too.. Erdinger weiss, etc

I'll drink mostly anything if it's around; the very fact I purchase and regularly consume cheap, store brand lager is a testament to this fact

[Twozzok]

Either Guinness or 1664. Though at the indian I have Cobra.

Though some of the monk brewed ales are amazing.
