Talking of Real Beer down there, has prompted me to ask:
What's your favourite(s)?

I like Robinson's "Old Tom", and not just because it's 8.5%
I also like all the Badger beers.

Oh I also almost forgot: There is a North Wales brewery near Great Orme - fantastic beer!
AND Harvestoun stuff, oh so many...

And, no fucking beer-snobbery like "ooh, my beer is better than your beer" please, or I'll kill your family with Nigel Mansell's Goat Encrusted Penis of Steel.

hehe
excuse me if I snigger at that :-) I do love the names they come up with.

And Jaipur Pale Ale
Which, as was remarked to me at the time, isn't a particularly Sheffundian name

Summer Lightening.
It was a lovely beer.

was?
Is it no more? Or have I missed a joke somewhere...
( Dave Trouser ; the people's choice - 75% agree, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 13:57, archived)

Is, then.
Same difference.

I was concerned that a beer had died, that's all.

Chouffe or Chimay Blue.
Actually, I haven't had beer instead of wine for fucking ages.
( ImNotRightBotheredMe fool, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 13:56, archived)

I tend to drink Grosh Tops, or one of those fruit-beers if they have.

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 13:57, archived)

I had a black sheep the other night. that was quite yummy

( Dave the Mighty, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 13:57, archived)

I'm very partial to London Pride as an everyday session beer
Duvel, Chimay and La Chouffe will always have a place in my heart
And I'm a big fan of Exmoor Ales in general and Otter Bitter

edit: And I could drink Porterhouse Red until the cows came home to roost
( Gizmo.mp3 does not exist, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 13:57, archived)

London Pride is a good reliable beer isn't it?
It's always there for you when the other pumps fail you. It's like your old faithful dog. Or something.
( Dave Trouser ; the people's choice - 75% agree, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:00, archived)

Deuchar's IPA is my default (not very obscure round here)
or whatever guest ales look interesting.
( Newington, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 13:57, archived)

Woo for guest ales
I almost always go for the ones I've never tried before.

Sadly, I forget the names of some, and never get to have them again :-(

This
ALWAYS get the guest
( Cap'n Tallbeard, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:00, archived)

You know what annoyed me on Wednesday?
My local had one of my favourites on guest (Tribute), and I am currently not allowed alcohol for a few weeks.

You could have bought it and posted it to me

Contact the brewery and have a Polypin sent to you.

my favorite beer
Carling
(PsychoChomp, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 13:59, archived)

That's lager you heathen.

( Fork Has lost his bash virginity!, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:00, archived)

Lager IS beer you fool.

( Amorous Badger NAKED BEA ARTHUR PHOTOS 4U, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:01, archived)

It's not.
Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with a refreshing pint of Carling in the summer, but it's not proper beer.
( Fork Has lost his bash virginity!, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:04, archived)

This.
If it's your favourite, you're not even trying.
( Newington, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:09, archived)

That is so, so so, so so SO not beer.

What happened
to no beer snobbery
(PsychoChomp, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:02, archived)

It's not beer.

( Newington, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:04, archived)

Wha?

( Cap'n Tallbeard, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:04, archived)

It is beer
as it is called Lager Beer. I detect some beer snobbery! Johnson! Watch it! And you Fork. I have the penis ready.

Lager IS beer. It's just different. It does, however, have a higher percentage of shitty products in its category than Ales do. In fact, I've never had an ale that's made me spit it out in disgust.
( Dave Trouser ; the people's choice - 75% agree, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:09, archived)

I would have thought it'd be more likely to be considered beer
as bitter is also called ale, or stout, or whatever
( Cap'n Tallbeard, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:10, archived)

My truck is not with lager
It's with Carling. Being someone's favourite.
( Newington, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:11, archived)

Ah
We're taking your comment at face value, when it was meant as a highschool teenage girl comment of disagreement.
Apologies.
( Cap'n Tallbeard, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:13, archived)

It's still not beer.

( Newington, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:13, archived)

I'm still reading this as an opinion on lager rather than a statement of truth

( Cap'n Tallbeard, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:16, archived)

Oh ok
Each to their own though. Although you're right - Carling is disgusting IMO. It is beer though, no matter how much you hate it.
( Dave Trouser ; the people's choice - 75% agree, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 14:21, archived)

I have two favourite beers.
"Chiltern Ale" and "Beechwood". Both made by the Chiltern Brewery.

I live in the Chilterns, therefore I am bias.

EDIT: For none bias ones, I like London Pride and Spitfire.
( Fork Has lost his bash virginity!, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 13:59, archived)

I love real beer
in pints.

I love Black Sheep, the Porterhouse Red was lovely, and if I'm feeling Euro-tastic Hoegaardern or Erdinger

I'm quite fond of an Old Speckled Hen too

Edit: and Hebridean Brewery's Berserker when I can get my grubby paws on it.

Ooooh I like a bit of dunkel.
