whats wrong with drinking red wine out of the fridge? i find it tastes best cold with some ribena or other purple-ish squash to add extra flavour
Ribena to make up for the lost taste of chilled wine? 
Anyway, beer is great and each to their own!

Beer gives me hangovers from hell, depending on my mood and location it's either Smirnoff red, Southern Comfort or Jagerbombs this winter. All the alcohol induced merriness, without any unfortunate consequences

i'm not a beer fan
winter - meaty red wine and whisky
summer - fruity red wine and G&T and tequilaOh and guinness occasionally

celebrating a job interview with a bottle of Pakas Paavo, just about the only decent beer in Finland. I recommend a 'pilgrimage' to those nice trappist breweries in NL and belgium....

Isn't this the reason lager is always served so cold
Nope, Larger is brewed at a much lower temp IIRC and its served cold so that you cant actually taste it.Posted 1 year ago # -
Very nice indeed.

The odd Guiness is great - original in bottles at room temp is alright for the money. And the best thing about it is the screw top bottle, so you can re-seal it when you're out on a walk or bike ride. Everything else comes with a crown cap.
This time of year strong and dark beers are best. Porter is lovely and Brakspear Triple is doing it for me at the mo.
Life without beer would be pretty miserable

I'd be taking that back to the bar - how big is the head on that pint?

This is a great winter beer but it needs some time in the bottle to reach its best:

That Brakspear is marvellous stuff. Couldn't believe my luck when I found it on 3 for £4 in Asda.

Brakspear Triple is deadly good... I'll just have another (gets up, falls over).

Another vote for Jaipur - goes down a treat after a ride, smooth, refreshing anfd still gives you the mother of all hangovers the next day.....(actually, that may be age related....)

AAAAAAARGH! Am on a conference call with Merka and I know that I have a Brakspears Triple waiting for me once I've finished.....
This is torture.

Breakspear Triple is ACE.
Blandford fly at the mo and then blonde leffe (special at Tesco's
)Mrs Julian really likes Poachers' Choice and Longdays at the moment. Oh, how I love her.

I tried that oak aged Innes and Gunn from Edinburgh; it's very interesting, if a tad pricy. I've been enjoying the Leffe too and enjoy in the Munich beers when work takes me there. But my fav is a local ale: Blindman Mine Beer.
Variety is what makes beer so delightful

My local, here in North Wilts, has Adnams Broadside on one of the pumps. Mmmmmm, nice.

My fave's are:-
Black Sheep Ale
Tim Taylors Landlord
Youngs Ordinary
Harveys Best
Hopback Summer Lightning
Rumnners Up - too many to name but most IPAs, best bitters and even the odd winter ale when the weather is appropriate. As a southerner I have to admit that Yorkshire makes the best beer. Sadly my home brewery (Badger) is really poor but other Southern brewers make up for it.

This thread is particularly painful as I am on the wagon this month.

I hasten to add that Steinlager Pure is not necessarily my preferred drop, but at the time of posting it was the only Beer in the house and has been since accompanied by several Krombacher Pils 660mls.
Posted 1 year ago # -
Steinlager Pure is the best of a bad bunch.
Last night i had:
Crouchers Pilsner - very nice, brewed in Rotorua
Emerson Bookbinder - classic, lovely on a warm evening
Tuatara Hefe - the king of wheat beers brewed with love and attention up the road.I love NZ beers (now - they used to be utter utter p1sh).
EDIT: and i hear you about the heat - it was 31.5 yest afternoon, i biked home and almost expired - humid as heck. Great rain dump last night and clear today.
