Beer, revisited

[SerenityNigh]

Probably not a top-5, but also tremendous is Young's Double Chocolate Stout

Only found this once, but the local brewery Abita released an oyster stout... marvelous

Leffe's a great shout. I'm ashamed to say despite my middle class routes I drink Budweiser and Stella. Lowering myself I know but needs must in this credit crunch.

I know the feeling!

Nice one, very much like La Fin du Monde. Almost too sweet for me, but a great drink. We don't many good selections among bitters over here, or at least we get the larger brews, but I'll look for Butcombe (sounds like a naughty name). Boddingtons in draft cans can be had around here and I probably need to revisit both Bass and Newcastle.

Not sure whether Butcombe export, maybe Roydo can help?
It's sometimes hard to balance the flavours, but goes well with a washed rind cows cheese

Butcombe brewery is near me. It is an ace beer.

Good brewery, i've had a few kegs off them

what about kropperberg mate.

Ask Roydo to get you some Hecks cider Carlos

This is killing me! Licking the images on the monitor is just not the same thing.

Can't go wrong with a nice Weissbier not tasted a bad one yet.

what about kropperberg mate.

Anything that ends in a "Berg" tends to be pretty good lol.

Wait till your taste buds mature... you'll never want another Carling again.

Weissbier, yes please. Had a couple of Erdingers before leaving for our match on Monday. There was a promotion on Lidl last week apparently 2 500 ml Franziskaner bottles for 3 pounds. Got there too late

I'm a big fan of most Badger ales, Golden Champion is my favourite.

I also really like this one:

....Guinness, Guinness and Guinness. I'm also partial to Aussie White's, not sure if you younger folk are familiar with that drink but its nectar. When I was a youngster, Yates' Wine Lodge had sawdust on the floor and Aussie Whites was sticky and thick. It was falling over juice but is much more refined now. The folk I introduce it to love it, so try it.

 

[bluejock]

Birra Moretti, Brahma, Estrella Damm, Grolsch.

Deuchars IPA, McEwans 70 shilling, Boddingtons.

My user pic was actually taken at a beer festival... love American style Pale Ales and IPAs. Love hops, but prefer something with some balancing flavors rather than just a hop brick to the face.

Dale's Pale Ale.

(in regards to cans, can lining/technology have improved and it's a better for the beer. Zero light damage. Even Sammy Adams Koch, who ripped Oskar Blues for canning Dale's 10 years ago has jumped on board.)

Odell's IPA

Deschutes - their Mirror Pond Pale Ale and regular IPA (Inversion) are enjoyable, but some of their seasonal releases are fantastic.

And while not a pale ale or IPA, their really limited release The Abyss Imperial Stout is a "elbow a lid in the throat if you must to get the last one" beer.

I SAID IT FIRST JOCK THAT MEANS I LIKE IT MORE THAN YOU.
