The Beer Thread

[Dude Ranch]

Lots of Red Stripe love on here .

I don't think I'll bother buying any other canned lager from now on, it's always a real pleasure to drink Red Stripe. The six packs are cool too, at a tad over £5 in Asda.

I would also add that Asda Beer DeLux stubbies are nice for a lazy afternoon in the sun. About £6 odd for twenty, they go down nicely at 5%.

Can someone recommend a fruity beer or lager that I can buy in the supermarkets?

[Lovelyman]

Badger Golden Champion.

Teh rool

Badger Golden Champion.

Mmmmmmm......

I'm a huge fan of Badger Golden Champion....and local brewery Oakham Ale's JHB....

As for lager...Asahi all the way... And Asahi Dark for a change.....

[Chosty]

I went in to Waitrose the other day and was reminded how good their bottled beer section was. The shop itself is about a quarter the size of our local mammoth Tesco's, but the beer selection was vastly better.

If you have one nearby, it's well worth a trip out to see what novelties they have.

[Chewylegs]

I love beer and I love loving beer!

Saturday night I was in The Hole In The Wall in Bristol which has just been done out and looking much nicer to be fair. They've got some damn nice lagers on tap there including the amazing and never before seen on tap.....Birra Moretti! Lush lush lush!

I was very much in my element drinking that

[Das]

Birra Moretti! Lush lush lush!

Haha, that's like cheap pap in Milan! I remember drinking it and my mates Italian gf laughing at me

[Lovelyman]

Tesco has Fruli and Staropramen and other foreign muck

[goofy pls]

Say WHAT? Frulli for sale in a shop? Jesus H. Christ.

[Smitty]

Say WHAT? Frulli for sale in a shop? Jesus H. Christ.

FUCKING WHAT

[Lovelyman]

Budvar Dark is not as nice as Leffe brune

Cobra is a lovely straight lager though.

Just had a sweet BBQ )

[U2031]

To whoever said asahi is like bud, please kill yourself, you are worthless to man kind.

Have you tried Kirin as well?

[Gigga]

Have you tried Kirin as well?

I had a few cans yeah.. its got nothing on asahi aqua

[Chewylegs]

Haha, that's like cheap pap in Milan! I remember drinking it and my mates Italian gf laughing at me

Is it?! To be fair, most stuff we get here is cheap stuff from abroad but is nearly always better than anything we do here. Moretti is lush whether its cheap in Milan or not.

This weekend saw me drinking Peroni up in Manchester on a stag do. I love that stuff!

[will]

Peroni is pretty boring though, pleasant and a nice clean taste but nothing to write home about.

[Chewylegs]

Fool!

[Das]

This weekend saw me drinking Peroni up in Manchester on a stag do. I love that stuff!

She also told me Peroni doesn't even exist in Italy! It's purely an export beer! I with you anyway man, Moretti and Peroni are frickin SWEET beers! She was a dappy fucking wap.

[will]

Well the peroni brand exists in italy but the 'nastro azuro' might not. It's a bit like Kronenbourg and 1664.

[spacedinvader]

She also told me Peroni doesn't even exist in Italy! .

Ah, and with that goes her credibility. What do girls know about beer anyway?

[Big Gus]

Yeah Peroni is big in Italy. I drank a stack of it there last year.

[expresslanes]

i like sam adams lagers B)

[goofy pls]

Miller. Not lite or anything, plain old Miller. It's a nice pissbeer, as far as cheap lager goes, I mean, it's not Staropramen or anything but for cheap lager it's pretty damn tasty. Bit gassy though.

[Mr Majestyk]

I want Dorada beer, great taste, but not been able to find in Glasgow.

[outspaced]

Sainsbury's Taste the Difference (stay with me here!) Franconian style Dark Lager.

Very nice indeed, smooth and interesting at the same time and brewed at the Meantime brewery. I tried a few of their Grand Cru lagers I found in Waitrose (raspberry was not good) but I prefer the Sainsbury's labelled one. 4x330ml bottles for £4.

I highly recommend it

The Pilsner is also good but less individual and tasty as the dark lager.

[BossSaru]

For the last couple of weekends I've been drinking a German pilsner called Eichbaum. Its only £3 for six 330ml bottles at Tesco, and it is lush. I think I may have seen it in Lidl too, but I was too busy buyinglots of lovely chorizo and salami.

[El Pibe]

Back on the Sol for me. Lovely.

[lancashirebambaata]

If we had a wine thread and people said "Blue Nun for me!" people would go mad.

So why people get away with it in here is beyond me.

[Lovelyman]

I had a gorgeous black and tan in the Blue Blazer in Edinburgh at the weekend, and some beer with a weird mity name.

Pity I was a bit frazzled so I couldn't remember the name

Lovely whatever it was.

[goofy pls]

I can't work out why people rag on Budweiser so much, I had a few ice cold bottles in the sun a few days ago and they were lush. It's so crisp, I've got to a point where I view it in a different way to a good European lager, it's something else entirely for me, far more refreshing than, say, Staropramen.

[CrispinG]

I've been experimenting with different labels lately. In Boston, I was drinking a lot of Sam Adams. Softer than its European bedfellows, it combines the smooth texture of a bitter with the crisp aftertaste of a lager, complemented by subtle earthy flavours and an inviting amber glow.

It's Crispin's Beer of the Year.
