Oh for sure but I meant lager vs bitter or ale which some wankers seem to have a religious devotion to.
By all means don't enjoy lager but don't pretend some dark brown syrup is a better thing to wash down a huge gobful of dry meat with.

Just for the record I fucking love some of the 'brown beers' too.
They definitely have their place.

There's a local brewery to me that is producing some excellent ales
If you see anything from Offbeat Brewery near you, give it a go.

The American Pale Ale produced by the Dark Star Brewery is rather excellent.

American 'craft beers' can be v nice, I have found.
I rather like that 'Blue Moon'.

That stuff is bloody gorgeous
but you have to make your peace with drinking a beer with a slice of orange floating in it.

Indeed. Worth the shame though I think.

Brewdog's IPAs are also excellent
no fruit accompaniment needed

I have no shame drinking Bacchus, surely that's worse?

The best American one I've tried was called 'Lucifer'
Fuck me, that stuff was strong. Very nice though.

EDIT: Shit, turns out it's Belgian. How odd. Ah well, might get one of the others next time

Look, I'm not looking down on any limp wristed bass playing types who shacked up with birds off of the internet
I'm not doing that at all, but seriously, who sits down to a big pile of lamb chops, spicy poos, fish tikka and dry meat with a bottle of best bitter?

I'll tell you who Monters, woofters, that's who.

Oh yeah, with you there
I'm sure a fantastically rare oak-aged mead has its place but anywhere that serves such fare will have Peroni or Estrella on tap as well.
