Beer thread..
This subject pops up regularly on the main forum, we're as well having a thread running here..
For starters, probably my all time fave, Shehallion from harvieston brewery. I'm also a huge fan of 3 or 4 different golden ales from Badger ales in Dorset, golden champion and tanglefoot being the best of those.

Re: Beer thread..
Maybe I’ll get into these as I get older but I’m 42 and still a lager lout, an ice old Estrella (I call it American cold) is unbeatable either in bottles or draft
I do quite like the Innis & Gunn Rum Finish if that counts?
I find it quite strong so the name is rather apt, always rum finish to the night if I drink that!

Re: Beer thread..
I’m also a lager man , Estrella same as Ben ( lovely taste )
But when it comes to Ales I personally love Smithwicks Irish ALE , Caffreys and if you can get it Kilkenny.
Regards
Tom

Re: Beer thread..
Nothing wrong with a good lager! As popular brands go, I like Peroni, or hop house 13 from guiness.

If an off licence doesn’t have Estrella then I find Modello is a good reserve, cool looking bottles too

Poor taste in lager I know,
Had a brief spell on real ale and then crafts and another if the Belgium's, but "utility grade " lager is where I go back too.

Re: Beer thread..
Cider all year round for us west county boys, thatchers gold my usual but I like to try them all apart from strongbow.From around the age of 5 I'd go down to the thatchers farm with my old man in his robin reliant every couple of weeks to get a load of cider for him and his workmates. Back then it was just a barn with a load of barrels and two old boys with red faces.I'd have a little taste from all the barrels then sleep well on the way home!

Re: Beer thread..
This brewery does some fantastic beers. Belgian Blue is a firm favourite. This is my drink for right now - 28 days out of 31 in January have been dry for me. Just got to sit down at 9.55pm & my daughter turns 13 tomorrow - so i’ll raise a glass to her, she’s as near perfect as she could be .... so far!

Re: Beer thread..
Don't mind larger on a hot day but I found I started to prefer ales once I got past my mid 20's.
Its become quite fashionable in the last few years which is good for me because a lot of bars sell decent stuff now where a few years ago it was just s***e largers. More or less all pubs do something I like Timothy Taylor, Moorhouses etc so I don't have to resort to John Smiths or something when I'm having more than a pint or two.
Larger's as other have said Estrella is good. Super bock I like but not as readily available, Moretti I like too and Hop house

Re: Beer thread..
I'm getting more and more into Italian lagers.
Birra moretti and Peroni have always been really nice, but just something you had when you were out for a meal. More supermarkets sell them these days though so pretty easy to get your hands on, both cracking beers.
Recently, my local co-op has started selling big 660ml bottles of Menabrea lager , for a paltry 2 quid. In these days of minimum unit pricing in Scotland, not only is that a bargain but it's f*****g delicious too, one if the nicest new beers I've had in years. I've yet to try an Italian beer I didn't like.

Re: Beer thread..
As some have said what you drink depends where you are and what your doing.
UK anytime - Ringwood Best, summer evening Mackason shandy or a small Perroni, curry lunch a limed Corolla.
Esp. all the time - San Miguel/Mahou
Por. anytime - Imperial, at my fishing club - Imperial mini or Super Bock
Ireland - Guinness (with a Paddy's chaser)!
France - fizzy water or Pepsi (cant stand French beer and their wine is adukturated)
Really enjoy Innis & Gunn Rummy but its like hens teeth down here.
