    Just out of curiosity what are your favourite beers?
    if you would not mind making a list of your top 3 favourite?

    Here are mine:

    1) Keo
    2) Stella artois
    3) Holsten pils
    Some truly mediocre beers mentioned here already.

    Augustiner Pils, Duvel are two genuinely good beers.

    Don't you find budweiser a bit too watery?
    Ahh, not really to be honest, i just think it has alot smoother taste than other beers.

    Although most things out of a bottle are decent enough, its cans i really dont like.

    anyone who says bud, coors, stella, carlsberg etc is an idiot who should have his right to drink alcohol revoked. just drink your own piss ffs, its probably more platable.
    They're acquired tastes :hat:

    My 1st choice beer is a Cypriot brewed beer its more than mediocre. My other two options are the beers i generally drink in the UK as they are sold in every single shop basically. I have developed a bond with option 2+3 :P

    1. Tennants, can drink quickly and is cheap, perfect for student life.
    2. Kronenbourg, great as a chilled beer, only on tap.
    3. Good old Budwiser, can't go wrong if your at a loss and the 2 above are not present.

    Not really, considering they're bland and sweet, making them perfect for 14 year olds trying their first pint. Let us be frank, no-one initially likes continental pilsners, real ales or stouts and then "acquires" the taste for weak ****ty chemical toilet flavoured pisswater like Stella.

    Merlin's Revenge is pretty good :yep:
    Foster's is pretty bad, far worse than Carling (which is bland, but at least its not sweet), but its not as bad as the commercial american swill like Bud and Coors.

    Don't know Merlin's Revenge, what's it like/who makes it?

    'Sol' has to be my favourite since I'm not much of a beer drinker. Mexican beers, in general, taste the best imo.

    I personally don't get why some people don't like drinking out of cans? Could you explain your reason for this
