[MarkBastard]

Knappstein Reserve Lager is nice, probably my pick of the lagers.

 

[Fatgodzilla]

in order.
1) the coldest
2) the closest
3) the closest to someone else
4) The dodgy beer your mate left in your fridge cause it tastes like crap
5) any

You forgot

1. Whatever's in the first glass
2. Whatever's in the second glass
3. Whatever's in the third glass
4. Whatever's in the fourth glass
5. Whatever's in the fifith glass.




Some people look at the glass and say its half full, I empty the glass and say "Who's shout !"


The most obvious thing from this thread though is the number of beers people have listed that I have not heard about, let alone tasted.

I don't mind the Guinness Extra Stout 6% BUL tallies

The only beer anyone has mentioned that I have in my fridge. Lucky no one mentioned Tooheys Extra Dry !

4) The dodgy beer your mate left in your fridge cause it tastes like crap

That reminds me of what happenened to my partner last night... our beer fridge is in the garage and he didnt put the light on... we had friends over on the weekend who left beer in the fridge... Lloydies no beer snob but.... I was watching him open his beer.... and I said what are you doing... It was Emu Bitter he got half way through it.

I like beer....

 

[Josh]

I like beers I can have a few of...

Hoegaarden
Budvar
Guinness
Murrays Sassy Blonde
James Squire Highwayman

All this will change once I hit Europe later in the year.

 

[Bizier]

Aw man... something like:

Orval
Duvel
Sam Smith Imperial Stout (I know it is not the definition of imperial, but I love it)
Murray's Grand Cru
Meantime London Porter (knocked Murray's Best Extra Porter off last week, along with my socks)

Tomorrow the list will be entirely different.

Worthington White Sheild
Green King Abbot Ale {as it was in the 1970s} just a memory I`m affraid
Timothy taylor landlord
Charles Wells Fargo
and my own clone of felinfoel Double Dragon {never tried the real thing}

Cycling holiday around Britain in the 70s and we arrived in Cambridge in a heatwave, signed into a youth hostel and I found a Greene King pub round the corner. Their Abbott Ale Beer Engine was buggered and the landlord was going up and down the steps of the cellar with a huge old metal jug (probably left over from the days before beer engines, the pub was certainly old enough . Pint after pint of loverly Abbot Ale and I was totally rat arsed by tea time. I'm sure the beer had little lumps of yeast and hop debris floating in it but it was delicious.

Despite living in Cardiff for ten years to my shame I never got over LLanelli way to try Felinfoel although I understand that SA Brain and Co had a special mash tun and cask filling line installed just for me . Hancocks HB cask was a nice 4% lunch drop with a cheese and onion roll as well.

1. Wadworth 6x
2. Brains SA
3. Greene King Abbot Ale (old days)
4. Castlemaine XXXX unpasteurised gravity-served from the wooden cask you Mexicans are missing out so sue me. B)
5. Pilsner Urquell drunk as a boilermaker with Glenlivet or Glenfiddich
