Last beer you drank.
 
Allagash Dubbel Ale.

Mmmm mmmm....

I also make my own Belgian dubbel, which beats even this stuff by a mile. But I haven't had the time or inclination lately. Too hot.

But this stuff's a great substitute.

Ballards Best Bitter.

And a darned fine pint it was too.

Tokolosh 07.17.2006 09:11 AM

 


I had this one for the first time on the weekend. Quite nice but a little watery.
After that it was rum, rum and more rum.

Stella.

porkmarras 07.17.2006 09:15 AM

Stella. I wouldn't normally touch the stuff, but I was at a family picnic and needed something cold down my throat.

gmku 07.17.2006 10:25 AM

Stella. Yeah. I was out to lunch with my wife and some of her coworkers. My wife had been bragging up my homebrewing. Woman to my left: "Oh, so do you like Stella Artois?" Me: "Oh, yeah. Imported swill."

It's funny how those European lagers are what people think of as good beer.

sonicl 07.17.2006 10:28 AM

I've yet to find a lager that I will drink through choice. If it's very hot day and I want to drink a lager to cool down and quench my thirst, the basis of my choice is usually "which is the least fizzy and tasteless".

If anyone wants to recommend a good lager, I'll be interested to hear.

Disgruntled Youth 07.17.2006 10:30 AM

Kentucky Ale

gmku 07.17.2006 10:31 AM

Actually, lagers are very wide ranging. Usually lager refers to those lighter European beers like German pilsners. But they also encompass some interesting other things. Bock beers are lagers, for example. So I would recommend things like Mai bocks, doppelbocks (great!! dark beer). Also, Octoberfest styles, what's also known as the Vienna style, is a very good lager style.

Ah, well, here in England lager falls into one of two categories:

1. Watery fizzy piss that will never get you drunk and makes you belch.
2. Strong stuff that gets you drunk very quickly and makes you violent.

Pookie 07.17.2006 10:37 AM

I think lager in the UK usually refers to those fizzy tasteless beers (Stella, Fosters, Carlsberg etc). I've never liked them. Guinness is my drink of choice which you can now get cold filtered, but it shouldn't be drunk cold!

That's a better description.

Guinness cold filtered is no more than a sales gimmick - Guinness for the alcopop generation. Give me good old room temperature Guinness any day.

gmku 07.17.2006 10:48 AM

Guiness is okay, but trust me, there are much better stouts out there. Try one of the Rogue stouts. They make a couple of awesome ones, among them, their Chocolate and Shakespear Stouts.

Last time I went to Ireland my cousin took me to every pub within walking distance of his house (that's a lot of pubs) in search of the perfect pint of Guinness. No Guinness cold filtered in sight naturally.

Jef Mertens 07.17.2006 10:51 AM

a Cristal 33cl good old Belgian Beer from the great Limburg side Alken.

Have you ever tried REAL Guinness. You're bringing out the (fighting) Irish in me now.

No, I have to admit, just the imported stuff. I know there's a difference, from all I've heard.

I'm just sayin' for American Guiness drinkers, they would do themselves a favor to explore some of the awesome American-made stouts by the likes of Rogue and other microbreweries.

whorefrost 07.17.2006 11:45 AM

a can of miller genuine draught. lovely (not)

Sorry, don't really know what I meant by my statement. I have no idea where Guinness is even brewed these days. It used to be in Dublin I know. It's all a matter of taste anyway and there's very little choice where I live.

I think you're right though. I think the "real" Guiness in your neck of the woods, especially from the tap, is golden. It's the genuine article.

HIGH LIFE!!!! ummm, so bready.

actually, for being a low priced beer, it's not too bad... although, if I'm going cheap, I usually hit up the Black Label

Hip Priest 07.17.2006 12:34 PM

ON saturday I had a pint of wheat beer, in The Falcon in Chester.

HaydenAsche 07.17.2006 12:54 PM

Not Applicable.

jon boy 07.17.2006 01:08 PM

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 07.17.2006 01:11 PM

Guiness. I'm not a big Guiness drinker, but it just so happens to be what I last drank.

Danny Himself 07.17.2006 01:13 PM

I had one of those 'Flaming Danny's I've been hearing so much about. Have you tried one, Julian?
