Beer recomendations

[Agafaster]

No English Ones ? I can make some recommendations there !

actually, for Scots beers you might hunt out a McEwen 80'- (pronounced 80 shilling) or Harviestoun Schiehallion - I had some at my work team's chrissie bash in a pub in Bilston - delicious !

yup! McEwen is nice and tasty and don't forget Guinness Stout (Irish), Bodington (I never liked it - too light), New Castle, Bass Ale........

For Stout, you can't miss Marston's Oyster Stout.

Bass is rubbish, you're probably better off with John Smiths, Sam Smiths or Theakston's XB.
for a really interesting brew, go for Theakston's Old Peculier. fabulous !

One of my favourites is Tim Taylor's Landlord - and not to mention Old Speckled Hen - doesnt travel too well though.

Scottish beer? as the colloquialism goes 'Get Tae F**k!'
Quite frankly Scottish beer is dismal, its a shame as they do the best whiskey's known to man.

I disagree - Harviestoun Schiehallion is very nice.
you make perfect sense where the whisky is concerned though !

80' is the best of a bad bunch.
English & Belgian Beers are the way forward, with German just a gnats whisker behind.
Ireland only have Guiness, God awful Caffreys 'Cream flow' bitter, and Harp Lager (God help us all). All my family come from NI but I wouldn't drink the beer even if I'd just crawled out of a desert!
Get yourself some decent Porters, or any Adnams brewery Real Ales.

Ahhh ! Broadside, to boot !

If you don't have to sieve it with your teeth as you drink, it's lemonade.  :-P
As the Pub Landlord quoteth,
'Pint of Beer for the Fella, White wine or Fruit based drink for the lady'  :lol:

"All hail to the Ale !"
