Budvar is my personal fave, it's like Stella in sweetness but seems less chemical tasting and more crisp. Must leave the boozage too though, or Bobson won't have a training partner.

Though my all time favourate was a brew my Grandmother made up about 5 years ago as a one off, utterly evil stuff (It got you from the legs up, you head being the last to be hit) and a great taste :-)


Yeah, I find some Belgian beers do that.  You drink a pint and feel fine but the legs become a little rubbery.  Minutes later it's like being bludgeoned on the back of the head.

:pint:

I do love real ales and continental beers (particularly Belgian).  

However, I cannot understand the attraction with Stella Artois, it tastes of chemicals and each and every time I've been on a night out and something wrong has ocurred, Stella was involved at some point.  

Won't touch the stuff.

Here's my current faves (can't be arsed to see if I've posted in this thread before):

1) Summer Lightning - light coloured, hoppy ale that tastes delicious and leaves you wanting more.  
2) Hoegaarden - Wheat beer, crisp and slightly bitter/sweet in taste but deceptively strong.
3) Archers - No, not the spirit!  Slightly dark beer with a gorgeous aftertaste.
4) Co-op organic beer - The current PMC fave despite it's humble label.

What I drink...

Weihenstephaner

Erdinger (probably my favorite ATM)

Fuller's

Schneider Weisse

Franziskaner

..and my favorite "cheap beer":

Pabst Blue Ribbon...you can drink like fifty of them, maintain yourself nicely and not even feel that bad the next day. ;-)

@all

You guys are so lucky to have such a large selection of beer, downunder, its a limited selection at best, looks like I'll be stuck drinking Carlton Cold and Becks for the rest of my life, not that I have a problem with that, but I crave more variety.

Move to Europe for a bit then :-)

-edit-

Have any UK real ale fans ever tried "Uncle Ivan's Falling Down Water" ? It's supposedly the strongest ale you can buy. I missed out on a large beer / real ale festival a few weeks after going T total and it was there...

Actually, in the States, you're fortunate to find a good beer on tap, Spaten or Guinness is about the best you'll do (unless you're lucky enough to have a decent local brewery). But thankfully, "specialty import" beers have become something of a fad, so you can usually do allright shopping at the "yuppie" grocery stores.

Sad to say it, but most Americans have TERRIBLE taste when it comes to beer. People really do drink Coors, Budweiser and Meister Brau, and lots of 'em at that. I know a few individuals here who *prefer* Miller High Life over something like Erdinger, while I would get sick drinking Miller.

To each their own though! :D

@-D-

I've tasted all of two American beers (Budweiser and Miller Genuine Draft, I'm yet to try Duff :-P ) and I must say I'm quite a fan of MGD, its rather smooth and isn't too overpowering, can't say the same for Budweiser though...eeeewwww!!!

Yeah, Budweiser is pretty bad, about the only thing I've tried that's worse is maybe "Steel Reserve" or one of the other "ghit" brands..:-)

Edit...I'll probably get flammed for this, but...

Guinness is one beer that I cannot stomach, maybe I didn't drink it right :-? :-? :-?

You're not alone. I'm no big fan of Guinness either.

No, but i have tried Samiclaus beer from austria. Strongest lager in the world (or was when i got it could have been overtaken by now) at a stupidly high 14% alcohol. Don't try it. It's horrible and burns on the way down. Don't even smell it, that burns too.
