Brooklyn has a nice taste to it, bit different from standard lagers.
Thornbridge’s Jaipur is great stuff. They also collaborated recently with Sierra Nevada (great American company), on a pale ale called Twin Peaks. One of the nicest beers I’ve had in ages.
As far as Brew Dog go, Hardcore IPA is lovely, if a tad strong, drink slowly. Dead Pony Club is also worth a go.
EVERY thread on this forum is about showing off one’s nicheness!
I think the entire male existence is about showing off one’s nicheness, or being drunk (or humping, but that’s another subject entirely).. Combining the two passtimes is extremely suspicious in my book..
FWIW I had a bottle of RCH Old Slug porter last night – definitely not one for the lager fanciers IMO, or anyone else for that matter
I’m niche enough to make my own Wheat beer, and its really very good 🙂
Anyway, Wheat beers make a nice alternative to lager if you want something a bit different. Erdinger is the most common but Fransikaner, Weihenstephan and Paulaner are better if you can find them.
Warsteiner is a nice German Pilsner
Nimbus Blonde is one of the nicest Scottish bottled ales I’ve found even better than Arran Blonde
