I'm going to upset a few of you now , there's one beer I can't stand: Stella Artois. I'm sorry but it gives me cotton mouth and it makes some of my friends agressive, the best lagers are , Kronenbourg and canterbrou!
In my opinion any way, although I'm sure some of you are going to scream and shout and tell me how wrong I am! A bit like I do with PJ, the only difference is I'm right!

well I have to say I'm happy sooooo many have a favorite beer, and I do too. If I want to sit back and relax I look for Pacifico. A number one beer. Does it have clout, NO. Is it known world wide, I DON"T know. Is it good. YES. And it's even good warm. Don't believe me, try it. A little story. A friend of mine worked as a research assistant for some company. His job was to watch and record the activities of orangutangs located on a small island off the coast of South Carolina, USA. Low and behold he said to me one day, "If you have too, you really learn to appreciate and enjoy the taste of warm beer." No doubt, he lived out of the back of his 4WD for four months during the summer, w/ no refrig. Sometimes I drink a warm beer in honor of his sacrifice. And it is always a Pacifico.

I found a new beer on friday night, Floral Dance it's from the Porters brewery and it's a bitter but with a slight nectarish flavour, and at ’1.20 a pint (a real bargain in the UK) let's just say I got PISSSHHHHHEEEEDDDD on it!

But the hangover won't start until you actually stop drinking Ross. That's the cure for hangovers...remain drunk.

No I've stopped drinking now and I've still not had a hangover. Mmmmmmmmm Ginger beer!

Beer,yuck just had a glass of wheat beer and I vomited.Maybe I will wait 'till I am older.

Yes, I agree with Celeb, Fea, you should wait.
And I used to think it was yucky too, but now I love beer! There's nothing like a cold Urquell... yum...

But Stella is brewed in Belgium and Liverpool and both varieties are utter p*ss. Speckled Hen, now thats a good beer.

I've said it befroe and I'll say it again, Grolsch is the king of all beers. Becks and Lowenbrau are also good. Stella is ok, but when you get just over half way down a glass, you reach the malt layer, which is disgusting. Carling is reprehensible.

Hang on a minute, who's been buying you beer. Good to see you're keeping up the old british custom of buying beer at an slightly early age.

ok, I understand none of you have tasted Urquell. It's like tasting heaven. I recommend you do.

I'm not sure if i would want to taste Steve Urkel, anyway.

Hehe, I feel ya, Ringy. I like beer, I really do, but I've gotta agree to the vodka shot theory.

Absinthe is good. I don't mean that stuff you occasionally see that's 68% alcohol and dirt cheap, I mean real absinthe, which is green and made of wormwood. I think it's illegal in America though, isn't it?

What’s absinthe?

Harboe Beer Gold is quite good too....not as good as Carlsberg Sort Guld but still...good

Please Pere,be careful how much you drink

One of my locals has started selling Theakstons Best Bitter for ’1.10 a pint, which is well cheap. They keep it really well too, and cook a great steak. I've been in heaven this weekend

Absinthe is what art student drink because they think they are being excentric. It's wood alcohol and only slightly better for your health than Meths (you're supposed to drink it on a spoon of burnt sugar). I'll stick to my beer and whiskey (Talisker for me).

Absinthe can be great fun I had either 10 or 12 shots couple of years back on me bro's birthday along with a feed of beer and a ween of j's. but plenty of after effects I collasped walkin home and fell few many bushes. What a night. But i couldn't goto the toilet for 2 days afterwards and that was a worry....but I've been fine ever since

I gotta respond to Celebrian...

Yes Kilkenny's is fine, you should try Caffreys if you like it.. smooooooooth as a baby's behind!

I gotta go with Carlsberg as my 'Tops' !

Shortly followed by the likes of Fosters... Fosters Ice. Also... I recall someone mentioning Corona... Been a few years but as far as I can recall - Yupper!!

I'm not a Stella Artois fan... Nor do I like Harp... yuk!! Harp is just too damn bitter! (No pun intended!)

Also not a fan of Tennants... bit harsh that one!

So to sum up...

CARLSBERG all the way!! Yee haww!

A brief note on the 'Smirnoff dilema'... I'm gonna have to go with - No, it's definately not a beer - lack of hops & all, as someone pointed out - BUT... I do enjoy a Smirnoff Ice... preferably the clear one, what's that now - Smirnoff Black..? I dunno, but it does taste good... smooooth as... (above)

Also - here's one to look out for: West Coast Cooler. I absolutely detest wine, this drink IS wine based but it's just like drinking a fruity concoction... Fantastic on a Summer's day.. night... whenever!

Er... Have I waffled on a bit too much here??

I apologise - As a Mum, I don't often get the chance to get out & actually experience this stuff so this thread has come as a pleasent surprise to me!! Just sorry I didn't notice it sooner!

Ok - That's me.... For now!

Y'all have a good day... night... & if you are having a wee drinkie... Have one or seven for me!!

OH!! One more small thing.. I know, I know... Beer is the topic, BUT....

'Deepthroat' !! Oh Yessssssssss!!

Yanno... Sambuka, toppped with Baileys! Just in a wee shot glass... let's not go over the top! Although... I did once have it served to me in a brandy glass!! No kidding! I had to tell the bartender what it was... I looked away.... *poof* !!! HUGE it was! But hey... knocked it back anyhoo! 'When in Rome...' & all that! Couldn't embarrass the poor wee fella, could I ?!?! tee hee

So there ya go, I am now DONE!!

Cheerio! xxx

I had Beer Chang when holidaying in Thailand, like rocket fuel and very cheap, though not normally sold in touristy areas for fear of sending tourists into beer induced comas, the stuff is lethal. My advice, stay off the Singha Beer if you ever head Far East, tastes like Sprout water
