WHS^ Avoid the usual American piss and try this stuff, Blue moon is also v good.

My current fav's:

Jaipur (available in Waitrose)
Ubu (Sainsbury's)
Caesar Augustus (Scottish IPA from Sainsbury's)
Butcombe Standard bitter, Gold, Brunel IPA, Rare Breed (I'm West country till I die!)
Bath Ales Gem and Golden Hare ("")
On a really hot day Thatchers Gold glider.

Zero Degrees microbrewery/pub/restaurant beers are also fantastic IMO as is their lime & tequila chicken tagliatelle.

Ubu is a local brewery, so we have plenty in the pubs. You've got to love a brewery named after a dog named after an absurdist play.

May I ask where you obtain said Augustiner from in the UK?
I've only ever had this in Munich - a personal favourite after a Biergarten crawl - but I'd love to find a supply if one exists.

Try this place...........

Try this Home | Sierra Nevada.

It's an American brewery and is one of the finest drinks I've come across. A few good pubs in London now have it on tap. You can pick it up in Waitrose I'm told.

Have a go. It's superb

I tried this one a few months ago and have bought it since - already had one whilst I'm reading this post in fact
A good flavoursome malty beer which still has a great taste when ice cold.
I discovered it works quite well paired with a dram of your favourite single malt, on the side or as a chaser as the Americans put it.

Sounds good - may give it another try this weekend

The Waitrose German pils (memminger brewery) is my standard tipple.

I don't drink much beer these days but I drank a lot more of it when I was in Germany. I see Helles has been mentioned already. Mmmm

Back here I don't mind the odd bottle of Peroni or some of the Belgian beers some pubs have, Vedett or the amusingly named Slag Pils for example.

But really, bourbon is more my thing.

Isn't Tuborg just Carlsberg?

Of the mass-produced lagers, I am fond of Becks Vier and still have a fondness for Bud... but only in a bottle so probably any lager tastes better from a bottle.

When gardening in the summer sun, those 2.8% French Lager stubbies are still my preference, you can drink them as you sweat all afternoon whereas anything stronger makes me feel awful.

I agree with the better taste from the bottled stuff. As for gardening and beer, I prefer the stornger beer when I'm gardening. Mainly because I hate gardening and after a few beers tend to sack the gardening and get pissed in the sun instead

I also like Sam Adams Boston Lager, Staropramen (can give a nasty hangover though)

I still drink Stella.

Only the real one, not that 4% fake "Stella"

Kind of given up on beer but as Apfelwein is pretty unique to a certain region then when needs must I'll drink:





and the contents of this place: Maruhn, oh and Czech beers are fantastic.
