Re: What's your favourite BEER?

Depends on the occasion, but I'm currently addicted to Corona Extra with the piece of lime in the top.

Oh its so so good. Especially if you squeeze the lime a little bit first. I am currently suffering from a corona induced hangover but I want one!!!

my current favourite tipple is still Hoegaarden. Reassuringly ridiculously expensive...

Re: Mmm BEER

Nobody in their right minds would drink Carling if it wasn't the only thing available at venues! How true, I just wish they'd stop sponsoring everything in sight and then maybe the venues could stock some good beer (especially Tiger Beer/San Miguel/Amstel).

I can't go into a pub or venue without seeing Carling and/or Carlsberg on tap... that's going to have to change... maybe I'll set up my own venue and ban crap beers.

Hoegaarden could be the right beer in a very hot summer day.
But I'm not surprised you don't like it. I'm the only person I know who sometimes drinks it. That's a strange taste.

Banks' beer brewed in Barbados. A better warm weather-cold beer combination I have not found. Corona hits the spot though, Kronenbourg, Sol, Nastro Azzuri, Tooheys is grand, VB... and many other beers Ihave been deprived of out here in Canada.

Re: What's your favourite BEER?

Correct again.

Mike, my friend, you are on the ball. You sure you're not just some smart-ass Aussie? :o)

Foster's: you can only buy it at special liquor stores. Noone carries it, cuz noone buys it.

But if YOU all buy it, then you are sponsoring the Australian Olympic Team. So drink up, kids!!

Re: What's your favourite BEER?

We only buy it because it's always 8 for a fiver, and if Carling isn't available. Now XXXX on the other hand....

Re: What's your favourite BEER?

Where do I start? I must apologise for Australian mass-produced beer (ie VB, Fosters, XXXX etc) which contains more sugar than Coke does. However, there are some great Aussie beers, mostly made in micro-breweries. Check out Grumpy's, Holgate's, Mountain Goat to name just a few. Now can one of you Americans please have the dignity to apologise for the likes of Bud?

As far as easily available on-tap beers go (at least Down Under) I'd have to cast my vote for Stella. It's always fun to see how long you can draw out the "Stellaaaaaaa" call as the night goes on. Think I might head down to my local for a couple or ten right now.

Gee - that is tough. I come from a country where we pride ourselves on the fact that we drink very little other than Beer.

(Hey - we're in the middle of a drought - water is very precious - so we gotta drink Beer *wink*)

I think that Carlton Crown Lager is quite possibly the best beer I've ever had the pleasure of drinking. Devine.

But, I don't mind the odd Corona with a wedge of lime (to keep the flies away of course!) whilst watching the odd round of motorsport on a casual Sunday afternoon...

Re: What's your favourite BEER?

Nastro Azzuro is nice, Amstel I've only had once, in New Zealand of all places, nowhere in England seems to sell it. Always see it advertised on the Champions League shit though, which makes me want to drink it.

Yes, I am that easily swayed by advertising/product placement.

Re: What's your favourite BEER?

Star tastes rank after a couple tho' - maybe my tongue rebels or something, but after a few it tastes like cat wee.

Budvar, however, is the daddy of widely-available bottled lagers. I much prefer an ale, but, if a decent one's not available, it's Budvar all the way. They have it on tap in the Enterprise in Camden and the Old Dairy in Finsbury Park, beer fans.

Re: What's your favourite BEER?

Yay for bottle conditioned Coopers! Gets better with age like ME! But I refuse to fuck you just coz you're thirsty - you'd be better off having a drink. Propgating Coopers yeast from the bottle and adding it to their homebrew wort makes it pretty damned close to the real thing. Of course they don't use the same yeast in the homebrew kits coz (a) they don't want you making beer as good as their bottled stuff and (b) I don't think it is able to be dried for packaging with the same result.

...and on the Budweiser debate the Fucking American Crap Brewing Co Pty Ltd trademarked the name regardless of the fact that any beer from the Budvar region should be able to be called a Budweiser. It's like trademarking the term Liverpudlian and stopping those from Liverpool ever using it again (or probably more like the Champaign example but I like to get dramatic when it comes to slagging off crap beer).

Now let's all relax and have a nice Old Peculiar. YUM!

Re: What's your favourite BEER?

I'm now teetotal, but I have tasted many, many, many fine beers. I must say I was always partial to real ales. If it must be lager, then always a premium strength beast. I must also agree with the general concensus in this thread about Hoegaarden: a fine white beer. Got drunk on it while watching Do Make Say Think and Berg Sans Nipple at Brighton's Hanbury Ballroom last year. 'Tis truly a marvellous mellow pishedness.

Czech pilsners, Belgian beers, Tsing Tao, Tiger, etc all tasty too. Guinness also cannot be faulted, although I've never managed to get drunk on it, strangely.

I don't miss beer.....honest.
