    There are much much better ciders available than Bulmers. For everyone who has mentioned Bulmers I urge you to try Kopperberg or Rekorderlig. You will wonder what the hell you were doing drinking that battery acid called Bulmers.

    Cocktails- the elctric blue from TGIs is lovely. Most blue drinks are nice. Blue is a good flavour. Fact.

    Morgan spiced rum with lucozade...... and weges of lime help the taste too

    Pint of Guinness or Miller.
    Short would have to be Jack D and Coke or Brandy & Baileys/Ginger

    If i'm on a session and feeling a bit tired I find a pint bottle of Bulmers and a can of red bull picks me right up!

    Ah another from the southern hemisphere! Prefer Toohey's Extra Dry to the New but Pure Blonde FTW.
    I hate all Toohey's lagers.

    Carlton Draught was my regular tipple, then Hahn Premium or a nice Crownie.

    Large Bottle of Guinness off the shelf is my drink of choice, but most pubs don't stock it.

    So, pint of guinness, or Becks Vier.

    Maybe a pint bottle of Bulmers.

    At home, it's Fuller's London Pride.

    Lovin the premixes you get over here. Jim Bean and coke sold in stubbies. Can't beat it.

    Miss the proper Guinness from back home and my pints of Carlsberg.

    Bundy Dry and Lime if I am going on the cans ;)

    Guiness and Carlsberg were my two drinks of choice when I was living over there.

    Meh, they're average at best.

    Now, my all time favourite beer, in the world, ever, is a lovely one from New Zealand called Monteiths. It's a small brewery in Greymouth in the northwest of the South island, they do a range of beers, all of them great (they even do a Raddler, Lemon and Lime beer, which is not half bad), but my absolute favourite is the Black.

    Woo Hooo.. You must have done the brewery tour in Greymouth as well.. In fairness Greymouth was a pretty drab place aside from the beer and the weird hostel with rooms named after animals.
    I remember some guy in the pub telling me that it rained 2 out of 3 days a year there. That would be sh!t, oh wait i'm back living in Ireland.........

    Agree on the tooheys comment too. I don't have much time for it. After work beers demanded Crownies or Bluetongue or if we were lucky, Resch's.

    Also enjoyed the Speights brewery in Dunedin. Tour guide was a legend who loved ripping the p!ss out of the Americans on the tour because they created Coors and Bud!

    :eek: Jaysis, I forgot all about Resch's. Yep, the Tea Gardens in Bondi Junction for a Resch's. Great Friday afternoons.

    Speight's isn't a very nice beer.

    But yeah, Dunedin is a good place, especially the Cadbury's factory with the chocolate waterfall. I nearly did an Augustus Gloop :D

    I remember going to a brewery in an old castle outside Koblenz in Germany a few years ago. That's all I can remember as the beer was so good I over indulged. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,722 ✭✭✭ibh


    Yea i was on the Magic bus tour. Really enjoyed it as well. Didn't have enough time in NZ though, only 3 weeks. Plus it was fcuking freezing even though it was November. Had a legend of a bus driver who enjoyed drinking late into the night with us before getting up the next day to drive us..

    Yea, heading to Sydney on 27th of Dec for 3 weeks to visit the bro who just moved there. Get my quota of Australian beer into me.. Might also enjoy some nice winter weather..

    Magic Bus tour rocked, and i loved that animal hostel! Although I fell off the trampoline having over indulged. Drinking and bouncing do not mix.

    Er, I was there in June. We were snowed in at Dunedin at one stage, bus wouldn't leave.

    Yea that is the reaction that most people have given me..!
    Truth is, it's costing me a fcuking fortune. And if it wasn't for his spare room then i couldn't afford it. Hostel prices were up at $70 a night for a dorm over xmas and nye.:eek:

    Now all i have to do is get the holiday time from work. Probably should have done that before now, but today is going to be the day to ask...

    Until you mentioned the Tea Gardens I had forgotten about the hot-dogs they serve there late on friday night. How good were they, especially after 15 schooners..

    Just remembered that it was in the Noah's Ark Hostel that i woke up in the middle of the night to a banging on the door. It was our bus driver in his jocks, after he locked himself out, sleepwalking!! Great start to the tour when i saw him in the drivers seat the next day!!!

    Ah man, thanks for that memory! :)

    Yeah, I loved them alright.

    Although, there was a place across the road from the Cock and Bull that used to get Irish curry sauce imported. Loved that place too.

    You think it's bad in Dublin take a trip to Sligo. Drinks like budvar and erdinger are rarer than hens teeth. I've only seen one place that sells them and that's closed know and even then they were warm. :(

    you obviously dont frequent mc garrigles.

    Ah the memories. What was the name of that place? Guaranteed to be at least one drunk irish person in there at all times with curry going everywhere.

    Tea Gardens and the Cock'n'Bull. The memories would bring a tear.

    I may be set in my ways but when available (I can't often afford it) I love to spoil myself with Jameson 18 year old. F**kin' beautiful.
