Do you put the slice of lemon in the Kristal?

Never have been given it, and wouldn't anyway, I don't like lemon!

Mr Benevolent

I just gave my brother a taste of the Gulden Draak. He made a face and nearly spat it out. Ha. Philistine.

Pauleta

Ive been Tuborg lately. Ive downgraded from heineken but it still gets me pissed.

GiftofGab

Cans of tuburg and pints of heineken. Some might argue that tuburg is piss but I always thought it tastes like a high quality beer plus it's cheap. I like my beer to taste like a plain and simple beer, not like a beer with an extra taste or twang.

Yeah fruit doesn't belong in beer except maybe in Desporados or Corona to mask the awfulness,But it is how it is drank in Germany.

I'd drink anything, I'd prefer something nice like Erdinger - the winter one, can't remember it's name - all the German Wheat beers give me a really bad headache, regardless of how much I drink...

WolfForager

Spent the summer in belgium, can't get back into heino and what not now. Did a bit of pre-drinking in a mates apartment last week, myself sipping the Duvel whilst everyone else was jugging dutch :P

Teutorix

Actually now that i think of it, I had really nice beer in alsace, cant remember the name. Didnt get to enjoy it much though because my mates topped it up with shampoo, i was hiccuping bubbles for an hour.

But Erdinger is a wheat beer.

Is there a reason for this? We always hear the hype about the "Irish pub" being the best in the world

The selection of beers on tap is awful.

Publicans seem to be fairly unadventurous as do a good percentage of the punters.

Plenty pubs have never heard of something as common as Budvar.

It's a pleasure to come up to town and have some quality beers in The Porterhouse or Bull and Castle.

I know... I suffer for the cause!!!

My local is kind enough to keep a supply of Erdinger and Paulaner on tap. It's the only good beer in the place. Admittedly, my usual was always Beck's before I saw the light.

You should check out the Hop Back Brewery beers.

Beer is beer and it all tastes pretty much the same to me.

Anyway, I'm not drinking if for the taste. I don't see the point of paying two or three times as much for some fancy beer.

Drowning your sorrows eh?

When we have the money I like buying a box of Budweiser and keeping it in the fridge don't usually get cheap beer unless we are going to a friends house for a party or barbecue and need a good bit but don't have the money.

Well being a true connoisseur, I tend to go for Bavaria.

Sheer excellence.

I can understand coffee snobs to a certain extent but beer snobs????

It all goes out the same way regardless of what you drink.

I drink for the effect (like everyone else), which sometimes involves getting hammered.

It makes me laugh that some people think they mainly drink alcohol because of the taste.

Misanthrope

Samuel Smiths Organic Ale

Longtrail IPA

Sierra Nevada Summerfest Lager

Whale Tale Pale Ale

All very tasty

If I buy bottles I usually opt for the following if available:

Tsingtao

Leffe Blonde

Peroni

Maisel's Weisse

London Pride

because I like them, but I often drink cheaper stuff like Heineken, Becks, Stella and Lech too. Also try whatever new is in Lidl and Aldi too.
