Depends on my mood - and how much I want to spent!

British draught ale is unique and any small brewery ale is fantastic. I doubt you'd have heard of any of them.

If it's canned or bottled my regular is the Belgian Stella Artois but it's not my fave, just my regular. Any Belgium beer is fantastic, as are German beers.

Czech Budweiswer Budvar is a good beer too (sorry, hate the American version).

This is too difficult a question to answer for me

So many beers...so little time...and then there is Scotch

The food paring with the beer is important for me...
I like Pale Lagers, Pilsners, and Dark Lagers (German, Belgian, Czech) ; not much for Ales, Porters, or Stouts (the thick ones make me gag(thats thick beers...not cocks)) except for the smoked/Hybrid ones.

Being a confirmed VIP friend of Laphroaig, I love the smokey flavor of smoke-flavored/wood-aged beers like Calumet, Sam Adams Scotch Ale, or Smokestack Heritage Porter.

Scientifically speaking, beer does make you drunker faster because the carbonation of beer forces the alcohol into your bloodstream faster...can u say beer buzzzzzzzzz

I used to love Guiness. In fact when it's good it slips down like milk!

I remember the "real" Guiness, the one you had to pour very slowly. You could almost stand a spoon up in it! Sadly they stopped making it years ago.

 

[Thor]

what about ESB, i used to have that at a british pub, but they closed down, and i cant find it on tap...and it has to be at room temp, or its not good

hmmm, all this beer talk, i gtg to store and stock up, its going to be a long weekend

 

[bloop2]

Guiness?! OMG!! ROFL let me tell you my first time! I was watching a Guiness commercial, and seeing the beer just being slowly poured into the cold glass was very enticing and knew I always wanted to try it. Finally arriving at my uncles house for a party and opening my first can of Guiness I knew it was gonna be good I take one big chug and had to spit the damn thing out!! IT WAS SO THICK AND HEAVY!! .. .why did i think it was going to taste a little bit like coffee ish with a little sweet flavour? even though i knew it was beer:S.. anyways i was a little disappointed but my other friends drink it and its just so bitter T_T

It is a beer I suppose, but it's actually a stout. It's more typical of the heavier drinks you'd get in colder climates, like our British ale. British ale (as Guiness used to be) is actually a living beer which doesn't travel long distances very successfully. Usually if you find it outside the UK it's been pasteurised and comes out of a "gas tap" . This effectively kills most of the flavour.

The real stuff has to settle for 2 or 3 days after being transported and needs a lot of looking after to taste good. That's one reason why a lot of bars tend to go more for the lagers, which taste the same whereever you drink them.

Ales shouldn't be warm, but it shouldn't be chilled, I'd say just cooler than room than room temperature.

Then we have older drinks, that you can still get in certain places, like a porter, a wonderful dark beer with a fantastic flavour, and a mild, which is very hard to find now. This, unlike a bitter , is quite low strength and somewhat sweeter. Not my general taste but it does make a pleasant change. You could get a Mild in most bars when i started drinking, but over the years it's just specialist real ale pubs that occasionally stock it.

Then we have the Belgium wheat beers.....Damn, could talk beer all day LOL Should have added beer to the hobby thread
