    Re: Favourite Beers
    Kinda requires three sets of answers for me.

    My absolute favourites that you can't find easily in the UK, let alone in bars (aside from De Hems in London)
    Kwak (Belgian)
    Delirium Tremens (ditto)
    Westvleteren 12 (again, Belgian)

    In terms of what you can actually get over here:
    London Pride, Tanglefoot, Abbot Ale

    In terms of what you can actually buy in ****ty pubs/bars that don't have real ale or clubs:
    Guinness, Stella, Grolsch I guess.

    Staropramen...:cheers:
    Thumbs up for liking a Czech beer dude, although if you like Staropramen, you're going to love Pilsner Urquell

    Leffe brune/dark and erdinger (weissbier and Dunkel)

    There's an italian beer my dad sells through his work that i've tried twice and was literallly the best beer i have ever had. Can't for the life of me think what it's called though.

    Staropramen and Pilsner Urquell are both awesome. Budweiser, Corona, all the other lagers that aren't **** are pretty nice too :yep:

    Not a real ale person but I think I will be in a few years

    I like alot of the wychwood beers (hob-goblin etc) but for availability its corona or Budweiser (that mainly for parties when i can barely taste). Normally i'm a cider drinker though, living in Gloucestershire not really got much choice.

    London Pride, Hobgoblin, Young's Special, Broadside and Bombardier are excellent ales.

    Outside of that I absolutely love Bavarian dunkels, hoping to go to Cologne and try Kölsch this summer as well.

    Estrella Damm is the best of the Spanish bunch, even if it is a bit gash here.

    Theakston's Old Peculiar is my personal favourite (and my dad's, as it happens.) Doom Bar is spectacularly good, Bishop's Finger, Oldershaws Grantham Stout, London Pride.

    If I'm in a pub that doesn't have anything of them (i.e. most pubs) or anything else decent on tap (i.e. too many places) then I drink Guinness.



    Edit: Damn, I forgot Hobgoblin. Ruby Beer is yummy.

    i picked up some budweiser (the american stuff) the other day instead of red stripe by mistake (they're both red and white cans, next to each other, and the shop was closing...)

    it was a living nightmare.
