Bees Endeavour, 4.8% proof, tastes of honey and ginger, brewed by the whitewater mountain ale Co in Northern Ireland. They nly d several batches a year as is easy to get a cloudy batch with the honey , but is heaven on earth.
 
This in Prague. Pretty much every pint in Prague's amazing though:

I was 18 and it was 105 degrees out. Dad wanted to get the hay baled and put up in the barn as it was supposed to rain hard. The air was thick with humidity and we started at 6am, ran out of water at about 3pm and were stacking the last few bales at 6pm.

It was still in the 90s when Uncle Willie pulled into the yard, his ford F250 belching deisel.

He pulled out a cooler and I almost fainted. It was Budweiser in bottles on ice and it was the best beer i ever had.

A whole afternoon and evening spent drinking one Summers day many years ago when I was working on BNFL's site.
The weather was wonderful, the foreman was with us, we were getting paid ... and there was a leaving do in the evening with two strippers.

Old Peculiar in the Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel, Great Langdale after a long day on he fells.
Oh good call sir, a great pint in a beautiful place.

I was walking down the small corridor to the toilet when i saw it. They both had long dark hair, one with blonde streaks in and they were both quite tall. One kind of had the other pinned up against the wall and they were necking like dogs scranning on pedigree chum. I slowed down as much as possible to the point where I basically stopped to watch but neither of them noticed me. As I came back out the toilet one of them had gone and the other was standing there texting and looking violated. IT WAS AWESOME.

Errr, did you have a camera phone with you lad ?
 
My wife used to buy me those large tins of Cains FA when they sold them down here. Loved those. The others I remember when I drank them for the first time are Wadworth 6X, Bombadier, Spitfire, Directors, Black Sheep, Old Peculiar, Bishops Finger, Efes Dark (in Turkey) Eynesbury Giant (Paines Brewers, St Neots, where I lived 1974-1990) and Pauwel Kwak - an 8.4% Belgian Beer much drunk in the Oddfellows Arms, Toddington, where I often meet up with my (mostly Luton fans) mates.

I've just moved back to merseyside and had a right stroke of luck. My new local has only gone and won that CAMRA pub of the year award a few years ago and is a regular north west winner apparently! I go in once a week and every time they've got different ales on and they're always gorgeous. They do decent German n Belgian stuff too for the ladies ( you don't see many ladies). They just need to sort the crisps out now and they'll come from miles around. It's called the Turks head in st Helen's if anyone's arsed.
 
Wandering around the Guiness Museum in dublin, gets to the top of the Tower eventually and gets a free pint ice cold guiness, clear skies panoramic view over dublin sippiing black gold. nice. been some other contenders usually involving blistering hot countries and ice cold beer.
