What's it to be then?

Bateman

Mine's a Tiger from the bottle, Stella on tap if possible.

MAC_E

I suppose when Im in my local it would be Heineken, and when im relaxing at home it would warsteiner.

ciano

I cant believe Amstel isnt on the list!?

mmmmm .... Amstel!

Lenny

I proudly voted Dutch :cool:

"Mine's a Tiger from the bottle, Stella on tap if possible"

right on! took the words right out of my mouth!

I feel obliged to point out that if you're in a decent pub Guinness is not without its charms.

Coors lite can be tasty too.

SoundWave

mines a tiger also, or possibly erdinger

Gaz

mmmmmmmmmmiller

Whatever about not having Amstel on the list, where the f**k is Miller. I enjoy Guinness as well but only in a pub that looks like it sells good pints or has a good reputation for it. Unfortunately, pints of Miller can be temperamental in pubs that don't sell much of it. You'll never drink Bud again after Miller.

Tiger from the bottle is good, as is any other 'indian' beer from bottles, esp with hot food.

Gaffo

or is Tiger a Thai beer?

Stark

Why isn't there any "other" option on the list. I prefer a good pint of Miller, although if you get a bad pint of it(which is quite common) it can taste like vinegar which probably puts a lot of people off it. Erdinger is really nice as well.

Gordon

Maybe the kind moderator can add a "other" option.

Me fav is The Dublin Brewing company's red beer, cant remember the name. Great flavour.

But Amstel rocks too, ahh the sweet sweet memories...

Sarky

Erdinger or Franziskaner. You will never want to drink another Bud, Miller, Heiniken, Harp or whatever.

God bless those Germans...

Stark

Used to like Blarney Blonde (they sell it in the franciscan well in cork, and a few other pubs in cork). Has anyone noticed it doesn't seem to taste as good lately?

DriftingRain

Gordon are you talking about Killians Red? I love it!!!
I am although a bud gal.

Samson

Just Guinness for me, please, I'm boring

Because I drink Guinness, I'm boring?

You arsehole.
Guinness is a lot more original than the fad beers most young boys go through a phase of drinking.

And yes, I did vote for Guinness, which, I might add, seems to be the most popular choice at the moment.

I dunno, I used to be a Smithwicks man(which is apparently what most people get to drink first when underaged, well in Louth anyway).

The thing about Smithwicks(and I have to say Guinness as well) is that the 'drunk' you get is so different to all other drinks, its very fluffy bunny and everything feels soft. I had to give it up in the end coz it gave me excema(believe it or not) and I moved to London.

Used to hate larger with a serious passion, however ever since I moved to 'hedon' London is Stella, Kronenburg and Becks on tap all the way, the largers over here are nearly always fresh crisp tasting, always ice cold and never with that ever so slight hint of dishwasher concentrate.

Anybody agree with me? Honestly I've never had a bad pint here(and boy jeasus I'm drinkin) whereas at home I'd get a bad(of different varying degree's) one every three or four pubs.

Any other Smithwicks people there?

Imposter

I'm getting a taste for Wieselburger, Eggenberger or Freistädter lately. They're Austrian beers which is handy cause that's where I am now.

Had a few pints of Carlsberg (Danish brew) last weekend. Tastes a bit better than the irish version but drink enough of them and the hangover is worse. ... as I also found out.

At home it's Guinness or Carlberg depending on what the guinness tastes like.

Wook

Never heard Smithwicks described like that before - 'fluffy bunny', cool one.
And you're allergic to it? That probably explains that fluffy feeling.

When I was three beers, Smithwicks, Harp and Guinness. The 'Men' drank Guinness, the 'Boys' drank Harp, while the 'Freaks' drank Smithwichs.
Not that they were freaks or acted strangely in any way, the people who drank Smithwicks just stood out. Even your sexuallity would be questioned.

But that was the 70's/80's, things are different now. Or are they?

Benbaz

Guinness is Boring???? Get the F....

For me it's,

On Draught: GUINNESS the one and only!!!!

In the Tin: FOSTERS....he who thinks Australia!!!

In the Bottle: TIGER.....Grrrrrr!!!

Sarky

Beamish Red.

God, I wish I went to UCC...(divine nectar and 3 yoyos a pint.)

Dr. Loon

Out of the above list I'd drink Carlsberg, Guinness, Stella, Dutch Gold and Tiger beer depending on my mood.

I was about to comment that there's no such thing as a bad beer, and you had to mention that muck. The only thing worse than Coors Light.

Favs include
any Weissbier
Duvel
Chimay
Budvar
La Trappe
Maeves
No 1 Brew

usually down the pub it's Carlberg.

but Bulmers for the beer garden in the Sun

The Gopher

I dont like beer that much.I drink spirits,mainly vodka mainly due to their speedier inebriation rate i.e a few mouthfuls and your raving.
That said I dont particularly like raw vodka either but what odds....;)

If Im pushed to drink beer I go for Dutch Gold-it tastes like flat 7-Up but at least it is cheap.
