[Closed] Seriously, how great is Beer?

I quite like Carlsberg Export at the moment or Red Stripe.

Yorkshire Tea and a warm jumper.

Real beer gets me through winter nights. 😛

Ilkley Brewery Mary Jane or Leeds Pale

It's good. I could probably live without it though. Since leaving uni I've hardly drank it, or any alcohol actually.

I prefer Lyme Regis, personally, just along the coast but a bit more going on.

ALL HAIL THE ALE!

Beer that's perfect for all season.

Hop Back Summer Lightning is the finest beer in existence. FACT

Summer Lightning's ok, but you can't beat a proper stout - man's beer.

Winter - Guinness.

Summer - Guinness Extra Cold.

Good to see someone who doesnt want to taste anything, as long as its cold! Why not just drink cold lemonade?

Friend brought this back from the states:

What on earth are you on about? Guinness is full of flavour and a very refreshing pint to boot.

He's just bitter because he drinks old man beer that tastes STRONGLY of old tramps' socks and feels the need to shout about it

(See what I did there 😉 )

Beer in clear bottles, oh dear oh dear oh dear, make sure you buy bottle from the back of the shelf or preferably from an unopened box.

a grimmer than average winter

Heather Bash - Guinness is pretty tasteless compared to a real stout. Have a look at some of my suggestions above and you won't regret it. 😉

Guinness Original in cans is the nearest thing to Guinness of old, the gassy smoothflow stuff you get in pubs is nasty stuff.

The Foreign Extra stout is pretty good though:

Plus the colder you make guiness the less it tastes of anything.

Drinking cold Guinness is the beer equivalent of drinking red wine out of the fridge.

I can vouch for that. They both turn yer shite black.

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 🙂

Bugger the beer, it's just weak whisky.

Pah, whisky's weak as water:

Red MCGregor from the Orkney brewery and Spitfire from Shepherd Neame, great beers!

Ribena to make up for the lost taste of chilled wine? 😉

Anyway, beer [i]is[/i] 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 tequila

Oh 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

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?
