Beer.

Years ago before you could get Budwiser officially in the U,K, my uncle was a loader of USAF Galaxies at Mildenhall, thats the first time I tasted Bud, although I preferred another popular beer with the 'yanks', Schltz, any one tried that?
Cant seem to be able to get it here now.

 

Used to drink that when I was in Canada
Another popular drink was Labatts Blue

 

What's not to like about Schlitz????

 

The thing about taste is it's individual.

I went on a distillery tour years ago, can't remember which one. A yank asked should you drink single malts by themselves or is it OK to add ice or water? The wee lassie guide's answer was brilliant - do you like it with water? Well that's the way to drink it then.

Other than Stella, I'll drink pretty much anything. I like coors, Miller or bud or a couple of portuguese beers are favourite at the moment Super Bock or Sagres (both in Tesco). Beer is good, a cold one is better.

 

Being 1/2 Irish all other beers pale (ale) into insignificance when compared to a pint of Guinness in Dublin.
I used to think UK Guinness was the real stuff until l 1st ever took the Holyhead to Dublin ferry & had a few pints on the trip over....completely different, & trying to get a decent pint of Guinness in the USA is like trying to find a virgin in Wigan Palais on a Friday night!!!

 

Used to think that was bullshit about Guinness better in Ireland, till I toured in 2016. It really is better. Creamier, smoother and no dirty penny after-taste.

 

Bringing other derailed threads of similar vein together.

 

Trouble is eu regs mean that Guinness now has to be kept below a certain temp so all that lovely taste had been reduced to nothing due to the cold temp, and it takes less time to pour so there is no need to pre pour pints and leave them standing which is un-hygienic!

 

I would never drink "Bud" at all!

 

The true test came when I got pissed off with my sons raiding my beer box and leaving me with none, so before Xmas I bought a box of bud and put that in there, it’s still there!!

 

My current favourites are : Leffe blonde Magnum bottle; Bombardier 500ml bottle.

Over here the Leffe costs about 2€ and is 6.6%; Bombardier is about the same price but 5.2%

 

Kingfisher is a nice lager

 

yep cobra is good as well both need a good indian curry with them
Ale no not for me

 

Ah 6X..... used to cycle (pedal power) to a pub near me out in the country, and have several pints. Lovely ale, not seen in these parts for a long while!

 

Can't drink Cobra and eat curry, seems to ferment and erupt
Used to drink Kingfisher when I was in southern India back in the 90's

 

What I drink depends on where I am, in a pub it will be a pint of Doombar or similar as long as I am being chauffeured or walking, however our local cinema does a cracking range of ciders by a local producer, Saxbys. A good film and a pint of Rhubarb cider makes for a cracking end to a Sunday.
