Your Beer of the week

[Ralph-Dot]

if it aint one of my favorites i dont drink it....end of !!!!

cant see the point in paying £3 or £4 for a beer thats brewed in a rain butt with twigs and baler twine in it only to find it tastes like horse pee and i wasted my money....been there, done it, once!!!!!

chemical beers, consistant beers, way to go hardhat

I will give any beer a go, don't care how it is made or who made it and would not dream of paying £3:00 for a beer.

Also you may not have tried your favourite beer yet.

i'm thinking of the micro breweries in an old barn at the back of the farmhouse......ok, i know there are certain health standards:thumb:

Also you may not have tried your favourite beer yet.

i know my favorite beer doesnt have a name like "Hedgehogs flea" or "Sheeps nose" and it never will.....

ps....if you wont pay £3+ for a pint you cant get to the town pubs very often..

one local pub has one lager pump in each bar and the rest is hand drawn real ale...lager £2.90....real ales £3+

Anyway they don't make a decent beer north of Watford Gap , besides it would be wasted on you northern philistines

This is part of the description from my collection of beer photos,

"I do not have the ability to describe the various tastes, I just know what I like, I don't even concentrate on analysing taste, I just think to myself "that's good, I'll have another one of them" or "that's nasty never again" or worst of all "that's bland why bother". If I do ever acquire the ability, I will add to the descriptions.

A note on "Real Ale", it means nothing at all to me, beer is beer, good beer is good beer and bad beer is bad no mater what you call it or how it is made, to me it is all in the taste and not in a perceived category."

And it was bottle-conditioned Graham, although it was very fizzy at first.

Beer, Beer, Beer - I need beer now - off to the pub (probably Broadside - but they may have a guest too!)

Lucky enough to have the local having a little bit of a beerfest last weekend and hey ho the local breweries turned up and my fav tipple of Moondance by the Triple F brewery was there. Twice came 3rd in the CMARA best ale.
They also brought along Alton's Pride which won it either this year or last year and I must admit to it pushing the moondance close.

I'm savaging a case of San Mig just now, Num Num.:thumb:

[Ralph-Dot]

love Leffe

 

[derekfaeberwick]

love Leffe

It gets a bit tedious after 5 or 6 bottles.:Blush:

 

[hilldweller]

love Leffe

Shit you can't say that.

Golden rule of beer is you never ever like someone else's choice.

You're supposed to say "Leffe, well if it's choice between that and Donkey Piss I guess it would have to be Donkey Piss".

If you must you can be subtle. "Good beer, pity they use Alpanberger hops".

"Alpanberger hops ?"

"You don't know about Alpanberger hops"

Anyway I don't care. It really does have some serious taste. Flavour even.


That's the name of the game

Problem is I like beer but hate the the snobbery that comes with what the American call craft beers (I also hate the term "real ale" it all looks real to me, imagine saying "sorry officer but it wasn't real ale, I can not be over the limit").
So if someone says they like a beer, unless it is Stones Bitter, I will have to agree with them.

I've never heard that expression but it sounds oh so American.

There's nothing like a hot day and a cool beer. Certainly nothing like it right now.

Worst beer experience of my life.......

I was manning a stand in Hanover, machinery exhibition, so noisy and I had been talking over this all day. Bear's armpit, parched, you name it. So into the bar we go. Vier bieren bitte.

Attractive girl grabs glass and quarter fills it. Then she puts it on a shelf. This shelf behind the bar had cooling hoops, frozen, but did not actually touch the glasses. So there we are, tongues hanging out like hot dogs, looking, panting and it wasn't for the girl. Bit later she puts another quarter in and puts them back. It was awful. I don't think the Gestapo ever did anything this cruel.

Next night, acht bieren bitte.

You didn't make many friends with that outburst, did you.

There's no accounting foe taste on this planet.

Another of my favourites is Caffrey's. Got to get the widget can. Lovely light smooth refreshing drink.

Quaffing a few pints of Spingo "Best" from the Blue Anchor in Helston, not a reality, just dreaming again

You should have seen the response I got on Ratebeer

Caffrey's the Irish beer made in Tadcaster.
