Beer

Do you like beer?

I hated "beer" and never drank it, cider and the small ones for me until my girlfriends oul' fella offered me German wheat beer (They're German) and I accepted to be polite..

To my surprise... Delish! I couldn't get the same in a pub here so I gave a pint of Heineken a crack.. I didn't know pissing in a barrel, leaving it there for 6 months had a decent spot in the market.

I like beer, real beer. Do you?

Sindri

Really. How interesting?


Please do go on...

You must be a rarity around your parts, I've never heard of an Irishman who likes beer or any alcoholic drink for that matter. :cool:

Rothko

Yes, I do

chin_grin

I don't like the "usual" beers. (Heineken, Carlsberg, Bud). Pretty much anything you'd find on the bog-standard taps. I prefer the likes of porterhouse brews or the drinks in bull and castle.

I'm an adventurous drunk.

Now, I'm off to climb some scaffolding.

Just depends on the beer itself.
I tried many an English made beer, some tasted like watered down slop to be honest but others was passable.
A couple of German beers hit the spot as did a small few of Japanese ones available (One in particular was lethal! Left me pissed as a fart! ).

Saying beer is yuck on the basis of the shit you get on draught in most places in this country is akin to saying food is yuck on the basis of only ever tasting goodfellas pizza and birdseye waffles.

If all you're ever tasted is mass produced draught beer in Ireland then you haven't been exposed to about 98% of beer.

I love beer. Nice beer.

I currently work in a Belgian brewery so yes I like beer*

*they make me say that **

**but really I LOVE beer

Zebra3

German wheat beer + Belgian witbeir. :cool:

And some decent Irish craft beers. :pac:

Most of the rest is muck.

I think a lot of people are afraid to admit they're not too fond of what they drink, but they like the effects of it.

i went to the craft beer festival last year in the rds and it was awesome. 40 something different largers ales stout blonde weiss etc. and it was cheap enough will definately be making a trip there again this year.

I was a cider drinker until I went to Prague for a month; you can't buy bulmers in the Czech Republic for love nor money, or you couldn't a decade ago anyway. So I was reduced to drinking beer.

These days Bulmers can keep their poo-water; give me a nice Staopramen any day. I love sampling the different beers in The Porter House (nyom, nyom, Old Speckled Hen). All the 'normal' stuff is like piss when you get used to the good stuff.

My only problem with 'proper' beer is that it's served at room temperature in the UK. That makes it rank.

I actually gag at the smell of cider. Years of puking the stuff out in fields has soured my taste for it forever. Do also love my Czech beer. Budvar forever.

Three or four Baltika 9 gets you proper sloshed.

Wheat beer is nice unless its Dunkelweizen. Disgusting stuff.

One good thing to come out of Poland
It's one of the cheaper beers in Tesco but it's lovely

I'll give you a blue waffle, how about that.

I like decent beers, I'd drink the commercialised piss if it was put in front of me but generally I like to find a decent craft wheatbeer or ale. Not the pisswater stuff.

Beer is my religion.

One of the best things about living Germany, quality beer at quality prices. Love being able to pick up a 6-pack of quality beer on the way home from work for €3.50 in my local supermarket. I could lower my standards and get a 6-pack of crap beer for around €2 but feck that, what's the point!

Duff Beer for me,
Duff Beer for you,
I'll have a Duff....Duff....Duff....Duff

You can get cider in the czech republic, all the night shops "potravinis" (sp?) have them I was there for 3 months last year.

Cans of Stella.

We make Stella in the brewery I am working in (here in Belgium) but the stuff you get in ireland and the UK is produced in the UK plant and trust me, the stella here is much nicer!

Have you tried the Stella Cider that we released about 6 months ago?

Kev_2012

Paulaner hefeweizen is one of my favourite's and I usually go for non standard beers if I can get them, but a decent pint of Heineken is savage too! Budweiser is the devil.

Eroticfishcake

I obviously have no taste buds. I normally start of with a weißbier but end up reverting back to the commercialised piss that everyone whinges about. If piss tastes like Heineken then I have to say I'm a big fan of piss.

nope but I just got back now. slurp etc...

There is a load of really really good craft beer being brewed in Ireland at the moment. All different styles, usually no more expensive than their mass produced competitors, and becoming more readily available. Supporting small business in Ireland, and tasting strongly of that wonderful substance - beer.

Even Aldi have two different ones you can try, for the princely sum of €1.79 per half litre bottle.

Wheres the ceoliac option?

starlit

No not really. Taste is very bland. I seem to have an intolerance for it. Though I can drink cider no problem. I find that I could only drink beer if it has a sweet taste and if its mixed in with seven up or something that it almost taste like cider. I would only drink a beer that nearly tastes like cider to be honest!

I am a fruity flavour type of person when it comes to alcoholic beverages!

Pretty soon we'll be paying €10 for Dutch Gold six packs here.

I honestly don't know. I have had no problem with any kind of food that could cause me to be coeliac. I've never been tested for it though.
I drink beer and I just end up feeling sick with it after a sip of it wouldn't have that problem with any other drink like. Though I be the same with guinness or stout cannot keep it down or be able to drink it at all.

I've tried a couple of times but end up getting sick from drinking only a sip of beer. I find it hard to keep it down.

I never thought that be the case I be coeliac as I include a lot of wheat and brown bread in my diet. Though there have been a few members of both sides of my family who have been diagnosed with it recently. Could have a minor touch of it but any blood tests have shown normal and no evidence I have it?

I do actually like the taste of most beers, although admittedly after a few taste doesn't really factor in :P
