Whats your Favourite Beer?

Blisterman

Mines Fosters. After a year of 75p a can, I love this stuff. And it's €3 a pint in loads of places here now. It's great.
What's everyone here's?

Pepe LeFrits

1664!

Usually drinking out it's Heineken or Stella

At home at the moment it's Miller bottles or Carlsberg bottles, my local offie is doing a special on Carlsberg 10 bottles for €11.49 so how bad!

I've tried Fosters but didn't really like it.

Dimitri

Its miller when i'm drinking out but stella out of a can. Not a lover of fosters but during the college year it does save a few pennys. Also like Murphys from time to time, i tried beamish there recently because its only €3 a pint but didn't like it at all.

Schneiderweisse Dunkle (sp?) is my favourite tbh.

Personally I prefer the ale side of the beer spectrum.

The Sweeper

Stella out of a can. Fatbastardtastically good.

However, a night on the stella leaves me with an icepick hangover (feels like someone's inserted an icepick in the top of my skull and is trying to poke my eyeball out with it).

I get a serious amount of stick over this in work but a nice pint of Bud does me...

Do you find Bud is very tempermental?

All the bud drinkers I know complain about the fact that the quality varies hugely pub to pub.

I do indeed, best pint I've had in a while was a pub I used to work in... they've just gotten in T-Bar taps so it's cooled all the way to the tap...

One thing I find about Bud is it tastes cack when it's not in a Bud glass... I like all my beers in the correct glasses...

Third_Echelon

Erdinger (and pretty much all German beers, weiss, krystal, dunkel etc)
Heineken
Corona
Kronenberg
Bulmers

They would usually be my weapon of choice... I also drink other beers, but these would be the main ones.

steveland?

Actually I'd like to change my choice to Corona with a lime... genius drink

Agreed, I've seen Murphy's served in a Bud glass! :eek:


Personally, in a dodgy pub I just switch to the whiskey for the night. Very difficult to **** up pouring a shot of whiskey. I'm sure it's possible though.

steveland?

Yeh I go onto the JD and cokes if I'm getting sick of pints...

I have nights when I can drink 10 or 12 pints without feeling sick but then there's nights when I have 4 pints and start kinda gagging when I drink them...

Heh, speaking of the glasses, I remember days when there'd be a match on in Croke Park and we'd be mobbed... it'd be mad so we had to use whatever glass came to hand first... Guinness in a Carlsberg glass... it just doesn't work...

angeldelight

I don't really like beer. The one I dislike the least though is Heineken.

If someone was insisting I was having a pint of something I'd choose bulmers & blackcurrant.

bang_bang_rosie

I love beer, most beers.
Miller on most nights out (bottles only) and corona with lime yum.

Guinness on a cold day or a relaxing pint in pub.

Holsten pils/satz if i'm feelin fat/guilty (apparantly it has less calories)

At home lager only and whatever is going really (cheap)

Stella gives me a vicious hangover too.

Drag00n79

Bottled: Löwenbräu and I'm also partial to Erdinger and Franziskaner Weißbier.
Draught: I haven't seen any of the Munich beers (Löwenbräu, Paulaner, Erdinger, Augustiner etc.) on tap here, so I'll go with Guinness.
I try to avoid cans as much as possible.

dahamsta

Fosters, Heineken and Budweiser are piss. Headache in a can.

Rebel Red's my fave, followed by Erdinger. If I can't get them, I'll drink Carlsberg. If I can't get Carlsberg I'll drink Heineken, and I'll get a shítty hangover in the morning. Way worse than the one I have now.

Freezing cold pint bottle of bulmers with no ice.....lovely.

Aldi cans of taurus Cider **** me im addicted to that .

kdjac

Creamy Goodness

over here it would be

miller
corona

but whilst i was in prague in the summer their own czech beer was so nice.

pilsner urquell

and it was cheap at about €1 a pint.

dudara

I know that it's not beer, but ice cold bottles of bulmers light are lovely.

I also like Corona with lime. Very delish

Viscosity

Living in Wexford, the choices of what to have on draught are fairly limited. I'd prob have Carlsberg because Smithwicks is gone unpredictable. I've tried Castlemaine XXXX recenly from a can and its grand, 6 cans for €8. My favourite overall, availability permitting, would be Spaten or Erdinger.

Dr. Dre

Carlsberg export.

paconnors

Here's my 3 cents (pints)

Miller., Coors Light, Stella Artois

Jivin Turkey

Warsteiner bottles, only e1 in O'Briens.

Sometimes Bavaria cans, or Fosters pints in my local. They have had cheap Fosters for about ten years now. Used to have Fosters dollars and all. So its so popular in there they are turning over a couple of kegs a night Id say. Lovely stuff.

Stella and 1664 give me thumping hangovers. The only beers Ive got headaches after.

Wouldn't touch Bud unless I was desperate, really desperate. Come to think of it though thats happened a few times.

Funkstard

ATM a nice cold Bud, but I'm not really one for trying different beers yet.

I've heard alot of the German beer doesn't give you as bad a hangover because there's alot less chemicals in them? Is this true?

Zaph

Staropramen - the greatest Czech beer available in this country (I had one even nicer in Prague called Gambrinus, but you can't get it here).

Others I have enjoyed include:

Biddy Blonde - from the Biddy Early brewery in Inagh, Co. Clare
Curim - brewed by the Carlow Brewing Company
Budvar - Czech Republic
Kwak - Belgium
Oyster Stout - the Porterhouse
Anchor Steam Beer - USA. If anyone can tell me if this is available in Dublin I'd very much appreciate it.
Spaten - Germany

BAm MArgera

Weiss

Cake Fiend

Guinness in a pub, any good pilsner from the offy (favourites being Deveneys in Rathmines, Redmonds in Ranelagh. Examples include Warsteiner, Staropramen, Spaten, Bitburger (got hooked on this in Germany) and one that starts with a K that I can't remember the name of.

Kobie

Nah, the Irish know feck all about beer. The choices we get in pubs are pityful. If you want a beer, get on a plane and find yourself a bottle of:

Girardin Gueuze 1882 Black Label

Now, that's a beer.

Corona with a lime

I don't have a firm favourite, really, I'm always trying new beers whenever I can. Currently, my favourite is probably Paulaner Weissbier. It's a bit like Erdinger, only not so fizzy and a bit fruitier.

Last night I had a go at Weltenburger, both the pils and wiessbier. I didn't find the weissbier very inspiring, but the pils was excellent, and I'll certainly be getting more of it.
