    I would love to see you guys taste British beer, or 'ale' as it's called. I imagine you may enjoy it, it's stark contrast to the beers like Stella, which we really call lager.

    p.s. It's nothing like Guinness, that's not British. We call that type of beer a 'stout'.

    boddingtons pub ale YUM, even in the can.

    Dont really have a favorite, but I find myself buying heineken and sierra nevada more than any others. Brooklyn lager is good as is the magic hat (what could be better than a beer with eddie vedder)

    Stella is gross.


    My favourite ales: Newcastle Brown Ale (god, it's like caramel and peanuts :eek: :p), Fursty Ferret, Bishop's Finger.

    As far as lagers go, I'll drink most, even Stella if there's nothing else, but I actually enjoy Lech, Zywiec and some other polish ones.

    As for special types, Guinness is awesome, not a huge fan of Hoegaarden... it's just a bit weird, and I had a scottish ale blended with scotch whiskey a few weeks ago that was very cool.

    Alexander Keiths Red and Pale Ale are the two I drink most often. I won't pick a favourite of the two. They are on an equal plane.

    beer nation(s) hierarchy

    mexico --> australia+ NZ --> eastern europe --> canada --> british isle's --> germany --> belgium --> USA

    While i would like to give Belgium the #1 spot based on its knowledge and history. The US wins on its craft brewing ability. Founders, Three Floyds, Dogfish Head, Avery, Stone, Rogue, Alesmith, etc... brew up something great and new every year. Of course i have much love and respect for the trappists, fantome, De Dolle, Rodenbach, St. Sixtus, etc...

    man, this world loves beer

    Nah, it wasn't that. Something similar though.

    I have to agree, but my vote goes to XXXX Gold.
    The only Aussie beers worth drinking are Coopers and James Squires.

    Fullers ESB. My favorite English beer. It's not an ale but sweet Lord it's good. I get it every time I go to the British pub. I'm also still a big fan of Newcastle.

    favorite beer I've ever had was in Munich last year, it has to be Ayinger Dunkel

    Of the beers that are readily avilable ... at least in Cali ... it's this ... Humboldt Brewery ... Red Nectar ...

    Ayinger might be the best brewery in Germany. Have you had the Doppelbock? It'll knock you on your ass, in a good way. Their hefeweizen is the tops too.

    when I'm drinking beer to get drunk I either go with Bud Light or Busch Light as the beers above are too heavy sitting to want to get drunk off of them....

    Why not take shots of Vodka and chase it with soda water? It's quicker and probably tastes better. Sorry I couldn't resist.

    usually when I get drunk it's off of Jim Beam or Jack Daniels

    but, I drink beer to get drunk for things like tailgating, and that's when the Bud Light or Busch Light gets bought

    and vodka is the nastiest shit on this planet :p:D
