What's your favourite beer?

[Sailor Charon]

Well, apart from the fact that last year... I started drinking cider.
In terms of beer. Duvel is good, Chimay is good. Old Peculiar is good. Czech Budweiser (the 6.9% sort) is good...
But these days I've slowed down a lot. And when my fiance commented 'you looked like you needed that' a couple of weeks back... it did make me think a little.

especially since I got a nice delivery of beer from Sharp's Brewery today



currently half price if you get the code listed on their facebook competition - otherwise its bloody expensive!

I am also enjoying The Worthington Shield ales a lot at the moment, I have been having the white shield for a while, but really love the red too - when its available

[WezV]

the Quadrupel Ale is superb.   i have had beers with similar flavours before, but none managed to be so easy drinking.  you would expect it to be heavy but it has none of that.  you would expect to notice the 10% but its very subtle

now i just have to try not to drink the other 3 bottles straight away

I've been getting into Admans "Explorer" lately.

There is an Admans shop on my way home from work so I've been checking a few out. "Ghost Ship" is also good.

The missus is into "Spindrift" but I find it a little light. Might be one for the ladies.

I've really been enjoying Innes and Gunn's red label recently. Also various Kelburn ales since they're so common in ale pubs around here. Their Red Smiddy is a particular favourite.

[HTH AMPS]

Still enjoying Doom Bar, but my local has Jarrow-Brewery Bitter and JB Rivet Catcher so I'm sorted 99% of the time.

yesterday was a trip to Birchover - the Red Lion has a nice exclusive ale called nine ladies, named after one of the 3 stone circles within a couple of miles of the pub

its quite like doom bar actually but a bit richer and fuller

nothing beats hoegaarden, it is the best tasting beer, must be the wheat they put in it.

do really like Blue Moon?

[WezV]

I like blue moon, but never more than one or two because of the heaviness. 

It really does need the large slice of orange to bring it to life.  on my induction with molson-coors we did taste tests with and without and its completely different, really brings out the coriander  - - assuming fresh oranges are used, which sometimes takes some convincing in the pubs.

but i still feel silly drinking a pint of it in a pub with the orange sticking out.  luckily its one i can get in the staff shop at work so i normally have a crate at home

[gwEm]

i had some in the states and disliked somewhat. on the otherhand, it didn't have the orange slice in.

hoegaarden is one i like, so maybe i should give blue moon another chance

Blue Moon is pretty damn good. For the everyday stuff I go for Beck's. A little too much than usual.

I used to be a pure whiskey person, but then Beck's came along.
