Re: Favourite BeersI was already expecting to go through the whole thread with no single mention of Augustiner(Original post by Zürich)
Augustiner Pils, Duvel are two genuinely good beers.

Re: Favourite BeersIn terms of lagers I'll go for coors light or cobra if they've got it on tap. Seeing as not many places do I go for a Kronenberg instead. Clubs always have the problem of bumping into people and spilling your drink so a Corona usually goes down quite well.
Having said that, I tend to go for the real Ales on offer. Most of the time I'll just have a look and choose whichever has the best name or alternatively highest %. If nothing stands out I usually just go for the old Woodfordes Wherry or Old Speckled Hen. -

Re: Favourite BeersIt depends really, It's ok if it's poured in to a glass, but out of the tin I just feel it tastes a tad, well, tinny haha. Also if you're only drinking slowly, it starts to get warm reasonably quick, although they're only my opinions of course.(Original post by Cypriots)
I personally don't get why some people don't like drinking out of cans? Could you explain your reason for this
Bottles just seem to taste nicer, it's probably just the same really, must be a mental thing haha.
I see you put KEO, that is a nice beer, I've not been able to get it over here, I've only had it in cyprus whilst on holiday haha -

Re: Favourite BeersIts brewed by Naylor's up in Yorkshire. Its not a too heavy ale really, not too bitter but with a good flavour. Might have another tonight actually..(Original post by py0alb)
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?
Nah Hobgoblin's alright(Original post by Cypriots)

- Also whoever recommended tennants is just wrong. Saw it in this thread above thought id get some tennant super brew tonight %9 alc volume and it tastes Vile. Its literally like drinking vodka.. all you can taste is the alcohol.
