The Beer Thread

[Sir Pysco Sexy]

Beer is great. If you can't connect with the previous statement, then I strongly urge you to do everything within your power to go out and start drinking some right now.

Whats your favourite and why? Any that you used to hate but now love and vice-versa?

I'm a Guiness guy myself, although if I'm having a meal like a nice curry or some sweet pizza then I find Cobra's a nice crisp lager to get the job done.

I think Beer is foul -_-
Unless it's in Shandy form.

I'll always be a Coors Light fan. It just goes down so easy. Any kind of Sleemans is good too. Sleemans Cream Ale, or Honey Brown.

Hobgoblin

I got a bottle of this for my 18th birthday

Heretic! Grab the torches and pitchforks. Burn the heathen.
Just kidding. I don't like the stuff at all, but Coors is made where I live so I really dislike it.

 

[H.S.T]

STELLA!

I can't say I've heard anything by the name of Sleemans. What country are you from? I'm from England but I can't say I've seen anything going by that name down South.

Also, I'll be very surprised if anyones had anything from the Ringwood Brewery (subtle clue as to where I live It's a fairly small brewery with a large reputation, winning best bitter of England once I do believe.

Oh aye. Nothing better than going along to Wetherspoons on a Thursday for curry night, nice bit of spice washed down with a Cobra, goes down a treat.

Hobgoblin is pretty damn good stuff, also Spitfire, though I don't think the latter is widely available outside of Kent/south London kinda area...

EDIT: There's a pub near where I used to live in Essex that has a good selection of Ringwood Brewery products... only had a couple myself, bloody good stuff I reckon.

Depends really.

If I'm feeling fancy out with some old friends or such I'll drink Stella. If I'm just out I'll get some of the local brew, usually a lager (Ontario: Creemore Springs Lager).

Grolsh is great but ONLY if it's in the "pop-top" bottle. I find that the regular bottle or cans taste like cardboard half-way through.

Where can I find this Hobgoblin beer everyone seems to love?

!!! I think I'm in love with you !!! There's a few pubs in Ringwood that serve Spitfire. In the one I used to work at before I left for uni we had Landlord, Spitfire and 2 Ringwood Ales on tap. Escapists to Ringwood!! Woop. xD

English Supermarkets? Don't know how widely available it is. Only found it in single bottles though.

In a pub?

Asda and Sainsbury's certainly stock it, at least around my way. Apart from that, any half decent off-license should be able to get hold of it.

 

[hungoverbear]

Guinness and Newcastle are my favorites, To me Guinness is like drinking a cookie while Newcastle tastes like chocolate.

 

[Sir Pysco Sexy]

Man I don't know how I forgot about Newcastle! I think I still have the label carefully folded up in my wallet from my last bottle.

Co-op also do it, and Morrisions.

I'd nip to Sainsbury's and get some 'Bitter and Twisted' as well though.

Theakston's Olde Peculiar is good but is hangover city.

My dad drinks Hobgoblin like water.

Me, im more of a cider man
