Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

My favourite beers are Belgian or Bavarian wheat beers, especially Kristallweizen. You can get Erdinger or Schneider in a bottle here or Erdinger on tap in London pubs, but it's nothing compared to the stuff you get in Bavaria.

Yeah, Belgium rules, une fois! Berliner kindl is lovely too ...

i actually like suffolk ciders and their ales, there gorgeous, if you go to borough market, thereare an unbelieveable amount in this stool near the oyster bar and they sell lots and lots of different tyes, some obscure and others a little more well known....try looking in tescos or asda or many off licenses for a company called St Peters, they have a wide array, i would recommend the suffolk gold, rub ale or the cream stout, they are fucking lush as you like, if you google image st peters suffolk ale or stout you will see what they look like ;)

+1 to:

Thatcher's (when the sun is out)

Good call on St Peter's It's absolutely delicious - they only just recently started selling in supermarkets, but for some years have been available at their only pub, the Jerusalem Tavern in Clerkenwell. There's a range of bottled and barrelled ales there to keep you coming back for weeks.

Skully had some meed once. I'd like to try that again.

Anyone know where to get it?

The Middle Ages??

Still find myself thoroughly enjoying a pint of Theakstons Old Peculiar - plenty of flavour and %. Kind of nice real ale's gone a bit more "mainstream" - it's all over the place now. Bit of a shame you can't enjoy it with a rolly like you used to, but I guess I'd rather live longer given the choice..?

Two of my favourites, but you can't beat a proper pint of Guinness IMO. Also been known to enjoy London Pride.

Goes down well at dinner parties and private views.

Trampagne?

Oh yeah - Dark Island - smells like Raspberry Ruffles! Gorgeous!

London pride is the one to set your appreciation of the pubs beer keeping. i have only really had three really good pints of pride in london. its a tough one.

Exmoor beast has to be tried on tap (doesn't bottle well)

I am with Hassanr - Bath ales are one of the finest and keep their taste from the bottle. very smooth and light, borderline summer ales..

Spitfire is a worthy one

if you like Spitfire (IMO it's a touch one dimensional) try Old Empire

Has slightly more tinder in the taste, conjures up a sense of bonfire nights and brisk autumns. Very full bodied but has a surprisingly sweet after taste.

Strong one ...

sounds good, you sold it to me !

It may seem heresy to puritans, but Guinness mixed with sweet condensed milk (and sometimes eggs) is what Caribbean and African people know very well.

Sweet-tooth? Definitely.

Like an alcoholic milkshake, but Guinnessy.

Beer and I have had a falling out. We have had a strained relationship for some time, and I think its best we part company. It got ugly last night.

I will seek this out Greasy. Looks interesting.

boy, I could tell you some stories...I can't remember the last time I had a decent pint of this stuff, all I know it goes off fncking quickly! [/camra]

I can highly recommend Trappistes Rochfort 10, a very strong, robust, complex ale. Thick and dark, it develops in the mouth. Quite a strong taste of alcohol (it's over 11%), and a couple of glasses sets your head to spin. Quite lovely, not had the 8 or the 6.

From America there's Anchor Porter, from the ever-reliable Anchor brewery. A porter, obvs, but unlike the monks beer, far more quaffable.

Both well liked on Beer Advocate.

oh my god. i have to try this.

you know the ratio?

Whoever wanted Mead.. You can get it here

Half a guiness with a shot of Tia Maria. mmmm. Man it up and make it a pint and a double.

Win Win.

No ratio mate, mix to taste. Slide the condensed milk sneakily down the side of the glass, that already is 2/3 full of Guinness. Slowly mix, as quick mixing will have the whole thing froth over the top.

My identical twin likes egg in his, but I just think that fucker is just weird! Try with milk, but no egg. You'll love it. If one night, you feel like you need extra energy for a romantic one-to-one Wrestlemania/Smack-Down, then stick an egg in there.
