Beer - suggestions

[mattdaniels]

A vote for Leffe Blond here, and Duvel if you are not doing much the next day

I fancied something different the other week, and not being a cider drinker thought I'd try some Jacques fruit cider. OMG it's delicious. Perfect for relaxing in the garden with.

If it's Carlsberg you are used to drinking, then I would suggest not aiming for the strongest available.

Try something just a little stronger, like Skol or Harp

Circlemaster by Wychwood brewery.

Desperados - with a hint of tequilla. Very refreshing, but not a session drink.

Another vote for Ubu and all the other Purity ales. Brilliant stuff.

Other ones I like are SA Gold (Brains) and London Pride (Fullers).

I have been introduced to this recently



Polish beer, very clean taste, no chemicals, so minimal hangover - strong though

London Pride - the enema in a glass

If you can get hold of some, I'd recomend a Hungarian beer, Dreher. I've had several types, and especially like the "Bak" . Its dark, like a stout, bloody gorgeous. Like said , Polish stuff is usually a good bet.

There's a Danish beer as well, usually sold in Litre cans, Drax , I think its called, nice stuff , again if you can find it.

Other than that, a Cobra or two takes some beating

Drink too many and you get the most evil hangover known to man

Shepherd Neame Early Bird is out at the moment and available in bottles at Sainsburys. Chill it a little before drinking and it makes a very interesting crossover from some of the more flavoursome lagers posted here to a decent light ale...

Badger do some great ales. There was a thread on here a few years ago which converted me to ales (although I still drink Tennents as well ), and had loads of suggestions, I'll see if I can dig it out.

If you're anywhere near the Midlands there's a small brewery called Purity in Warwickshire

Ubu on draft is a thing of wonder.

Not really near the midlands, I'm a Suffolk boy! I will recommend any of the Earl Soham brewery ales, bloody good stuff! Although they generally knock me for 6!

St Peter's Golden Ale is on special at Waitrose at the moment, and is a good suffolk brew.

This wasn't the one I was thinking of, but it's worth a gander :

Desperados

Thanks for all the suggestions, think ill just go and have a look, buy a few of each and drink away! Had a can of lynx at lunch (not deodorant before anyone says!), definitely would not recommend that one!

[dougc]

I had a can or three of Lynx on Saturday at a BBQ with random results...

Drinking 3 cans of deodorant will always make for an interesting hangover.

Kenyan lager. Very nice. They sell it in Tesco

I tried a chocolate ale the other day from M&S, quite unusual but very nice!
