Favourite Beer?

KaHn · 5 Oct 2008 at 21:42

As I know a few on here like beer what is your favourite and why?

My favourite (and has been for a while) is ice cold Hoegaarden with a nice slice of lemon.

I prefer it to normal largers due to the flavour being a lot stronger and seems to hold its taste through out the pint, unlike ales which normally have "sweet" spots.

Now whats yours.

Leffe. Such an awesome flavour.

Where the Guinness / Murphys / Beamish is good I'll drink one of those. Failing that, it's Smithwicks. Failing that, whiskey.

Champion (Badger)

I'm partial to the Hobgoblin myself, I usualy drink Newcastle Brown though.

Edit: I can't pass up a nice cold pint of Joseph Jones either.

I like Hoegaarden too but nothing beats a cold Budějovický Budvar (Original Budweiser)
Such a refreshing taste, like no other.

Depends where I am and what time of day

Beer of choice is currently Erdinger, but I've never seen it in any pubs

Quite partial to Oranjeboom, as it's not got the chemically aftertaste that most of the "popular" beer seem to have now.

EDIT: Oh and Cobra if I'm out for a curry

Where are you from as Erdinger is quite popular in Newcastle.

I could suggest some alternatives but they will probably be harder to find.

Harvey's Sussex
Badger Gold or Champion
Old Speckled Hen (if on tap, bottled is a poor facsimile)

I usually try to go for whatever guest ales are on tap though. At lunchtime today (we took my sister out for a meal to celebrate her birthday), I enjoyed a nice pint of Witch-Hunter, a nice porter strength ale. Lovely rich flavours, no harshness to it.

Hampshire (or South East Kent if i'm visiting the parents).

I wish it was popular down here, beats the rubbish I normally have to drink!

leffe, or maybe a st peters ale

not beers you could drink by the dozen, but they have so much more quality and flavour than becks/tennents/stella

Really like Strong Suffolk (green king brewery i think), leffe brune and newcy brown go down nicely as well

K.C. Leblanc · 5 Oct 2008 at 22:31

I'm quite varied, but the following make my list.

Budding, Stroud Brewery
Leffe,
Cotswold Premium or Cotswold 3 7,
The lighter beers from Nailsworth Brewery
Becks (this needs to be on draft in more pubs, it's by far the best mass market beer)
Doom Bar

Of course, sometimes I'm a cider drinker, Adlestones for the win.

Erdinger +1

I find Weihenstephan pwns Erdinger. It has a much nicer and longer-lingering aftertaste.

My fave beer is Hoegaarden Grand Cru at the moment.

Russinating · 5 Oct 2008 at 22:42

Peroni\Kronnenbourg\Budvar - depends on mood, place and availability!

Grolsch, Heineken - Most Dutch beers are really good.
