I'm the other person that voted for Ireland.
But keep that Killian's Irish Red the hell away from me. _____________________ Ireland...Guinness Stout, people! England...Bass Ale, bretheren! These are your champions! |

Ireland makes Guiness, we can't forget that. But they are also pretty bloody awful at lagers and ales. I'll accept that they're cider is passable, but I don't think they should be exalted for a mere one drink, no matter how wonderful it is... and in spite of the cliche, Guiness tastes ten-fold better over there, which sort of invalidates drinking it here.

hee heee-- killian's irish red-- that's a phony product-- i used to sell it when i work on a pizzeria-- it's piss-- made by coors i think
about guinness, it's a nice beer, no doubt, but it does not rule supreme i'd rather have a double chocolate stout. ![]() ![]() however, the lovely skunky aromas of this: ![]() leave everything else in the dust? why? a) it's made by monks b) monks can't fuck c) they need to get off with something else, and that is beer |

Logic is such a beautiful thing.
Blue Moon Belgian White is made by Coors too. It's a slap in the face to Belgian ales. Old story, but a friend coming back from the first Gulf War smuggled in a good deal of some Sympaticor Dopplebock and EKU 28 from Germany on his way back home. Is there a beer stronger than EKU 28? I really don't think so. |

I'm a little confused.When a proper ale drinker asks for beer he/she doesn't mean lager but ale or dark beers.I'm sure sonicl meant that when he started the poll,hopefully.

I do like my doppelbocks, too, though. And my mai bocks. My my, bocks!
But yeah, there is nothing like the aroma or taste of Belgium beer! Is it lunchtime yet? I think I'm drinking my meal today!

Beer means lager and ale. And there are good and bad lagers just as there are good and bad ales. Pilsners, for example, the most common beer in Germany and Czech-land and the USA, are lagers. Most beers in England, however, such as bitters and stouts and pales, are ale. A beer drinker just has to know what he/she is ordering.

I know. But in general, both ales and lagers are beer. The differentiation has to do with how they're fermented (in the brewing process). In the case where there's more than one kind of "beer" on tap--meaning, ales and lagers--wouldn't the UK beer drinker specify: I want a pint of bitter... or stout... or pale... or lager... etc?

Of course! Every beer drinker--and I would say, regardless of age--who knows anything about beer does! So what are you saying?

He's right. As an ale-drinker, I call ale beer and consider lager beneath me. I also have an enormous beard and terrible personal hygeine. I know full well that they're all beers, but lager makes me ill and angry, hence the mental distinction.

I see. So if I went in and asked you for a "beer" and you gave me a bitter but what I really wanted was a doppelbock, you'd figure it out after the first few times I kept saying, "No, not THIS shit. I want a BEER, dammit. Don't you get it. A BEER!"
