If I can get a hold of it, I prefer Zlatopramen. Nice Czech beer, very quaffable...
Other than that, I drink Turmblaeser Landbier, a cheap yet astonishingly good beer.

And, of course, when I pubs, there's no way around some Nukie brown ale.

One of the perks of moving up to the state of Washington from CA is the discovery of new beers and beers that I haven't had access to before. State-run liqour stores are a nightmare but those will be going away soon (voted out yay!)

$1.30 Pint cans of DAB (Dortmunder) makes a day go by nicely.

And I think the thread has it's first beer-snob Is there an equivalent word for that in German? Bier-mode? lol

Anyway, keep the beer infos comin!

[ice trey]

Old standbys include

Creemore Springs; Waterloo Dark; Asahi Super Dry; Sapporo; Alexander Keiths; Bud

Current favorites are Asahi and Creemore.

In the UK: Whatever the local pubs got on handpump. Any other CAMRA members here by the way?

In the US: Some of the great microbrew stuff that's coming out now. In particular, I'm loving the stuff from Stone and Dogfish Head

Also, my mate Dave's got a sweet homebrew setup and I usually get to imbibe a few of his creations every month or so.

EDIT: My favorite beer that I've tried so far (both on tap and bottled) is Straw Dog by Wolf's Brewery in Norfolk, England. I actually went so far as to visit the brewery myself and pick up a case XD

CAMERA? used to be, didn't renew this year. If you are ever in London sort of February time, i can highly recommend the Battersea beer festival.I'll rejoin when I get some time of my own, waaayyy to busy this year.

Anyway. arguably the more important topic on the forum...I mean, honestly, who gives a <redacted> about targeting protocols?

I'm a fan of ale, the one that sticks out in my mind was called Spingo brewed in the Blue Anchor pub in Helston. I can highly recommend.
There was another in Norfolk sun-set, sun-rise sun-something can't remember, but it was so good the locals even threatened to not sell it to us so they could drink it all themselves.
Kent has the Nelson microbrewery and includes two favourites, Nelsons Blood which is pretty strong but a really tasty drop and Friggin' in the Riggin' which is easier going perhaps, but just as fun.
Guiness and Smithwicks stands to reason.
There is a great we micro brewery in Ayrshire, called the Failford Inn. We like their beers too. And the fact the do carry-out...

I will try just about anything, as is the way with many of us; Always looking out for something I've never tried before. my friend got me heavily into Belgian beers (there was a particularly good night drinking Delirium Tremmins)

But I'll even drink Fosters if it comes down to it. I am not a snob. Like my father was.

HI guys! i drink most beers lagers,ales, bitters, stouts ,pils and weat beer, never shy of trying something new. A favorite though is mead real mead spiced with honey(drewls)..if you ever pass through Stockholm,Sweden go to the Old Town seek out a resturant named Sjätte Tunnan its a resturant that has specialised in mid evil food and they have one hell of a good home brewed mead.

[Jagermeister2]

No real preference here, but I thought Lyrans drank WarSteiner by default...

[Bear Shaman]

Oh, so many opportunities for word play. Bethlehem Brew Works "War Hammer", Revolution Brewery's "Let's Have a War", "Invasion IPA", "Big Gun Barleywine"... yeah. Seriously though, I'm drinking a Sierra Nevada Torpedo Double IPA, and I'm hoping to get my hands on some more Ommegang Abbey Ale soon.

[crazy jake]

Being an American that lives in Germany I have tried almost everything in the US and Canada, though I wouldn't call those beers. I used to love Guiness and Killkenny, but the 2 best beers from tap one could ever have the hopes of consuming are.....

Duckstein

and

Krusovice

[Yarin Korza]

cold

[The Basilisk]

Sad nearly no one will know them but here they are:

Karolus Doppel Bock Bier
Andechs dunkel
Sometimes Glaabsbräu

[Blue Shark]

I live in small town in Czech Republic, so i drink our local yeast beer Rampušák )

[Tomak Arr]

Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout is my favorite. But I also drink Newcastle quite a bit. I recently tried the new Guiness Black Lager, and it wasn't bad either.

[Tuborn]

I'm with Aegis Kleais, like Maker's Mark, or Seagram 7 Honey Blend stright up to sip while blowing things up.

most of the ppl here are Americans, so I doubt they will ever get a hand on my fav brands anyway, even doubt my fellow germans would.

Or you could post them anyways seeing and most people travel and the american beer community will drink anything but the unholy three. (miller,budweiser,coors) (yes I know blue moon is from coors but they put effort into it sooo )

[Holmes]

I drink just about anything, from Busch / Miller / Budweiser etc. when I'm broke (or at someone else's house) to microbrews and imports when possible. My favorite beer though is Sam Adam's Scotch Ale, followed by Guinness Draught, followed by Labatt Blue.

I've got hair on my chest though, I can down a case of Busch if times are tight.

[Grayson Pryde]

Hasseröder is a nice beer but i also like czech beer. Staropramen and Pilsner Urquell.

Nothing against Becks but if i like to drink lemonade i drink coke

Coors(Regular, not light) is actually not bad, don't drink it tons, but it is a treat. I usually just drink Yuengling, never once saw it sold back in Michigan, and I drank Canadian beer there. Moosehead is a strange, but wonderful thing.

Heineken tastes like p_i_s_s, and people that say Guiness is their favorite beer, don't really like beer. Tastes like nothing, at least American beers taste like water. And why is Amstel Light the only 'light' beer that doesn't taste like water with some booze poured into it?

I hate IPAs, wheat 'beers', and most of the shlock that gets made into 'beer', but I have also drank some crap beer in my time, not surprisingly PBR is still the best of the worst.

There is a line in the sand between the mass production "beer" and real beer. Coors, Buch, and Miller I call the unholy trio. They are the basis that most people in the US drink by. (as I noted coors makes Blue Moon... which isn't half bad since they put effort into it) Real beer drinkers tend to have a favorite micro brew or import. I'd rather spend $7 on a good six pack of microbrew or import then $6 for an mass produced APA or APL.

Quick question, I've never tried a black and tan. What would be better. Mixing two different light and dark beers randomly or buying a remade black and tan?

I just got back home from the bar. Had a few pints of Shiner Bock, brewed in my home state of Texas!

I generally like darker beers such as Guinness, but when I spent a summer in the UK I made sure to get as many beers as possible that I knew I couldn't get back here in the States. I don't recall a lot of names but I do know that the British (and Irish, and Scottish) have a lot of good beer.

Oh, the myth that the British drink beer warm is an outright lie.
