Beers you love, or hate.

Tonight I am mostly drinking Broughtons Hopo session ale and Isle of Arran blonde. Both fine Scottish ales but the Hopo is lush and the better of the two.

Recently bought two cases of carling premier not seen it for ages.

Kronenbourg 1664
Peroni
Corona (with lime)

Remember when we had that at a bbq at mine????

I worked for a craft ale distributor for 2 years before I moved over to Ireland. Got plenty of great samples from the likes of deya, tiny rebel, northern monk, abc etc but, non were really to my taste.

New Bristol do a very more some marshmallow stout and a cinder toffee one too.

Am more of a pils/lager fan though and like the European ones such as jupiler, ayinger, warsteiner etc and virtually any ‘helles’ too. There’s a couple of great breweries in Bristol that do amazing pils : lost and grounded - Keller pils and electric bear - Edison pils.

The 'craft beer' scene is good in many ways as it has created a lot of interest in the quality of beer, but I'm not the greatest fan of many of them. Fundamentally, the craft beer guys tend to chuck a excrement-ton of hops into almost all of their beers and it is just too overpowering sometimes. I've got more of a taste for them in recent years - quite like the West Coast IPA style due to the sediment (I'm a fan of wheat beers in general, too). Some of the fruitier IPAs aren't bad either. Aldi, for instance, often have a blood orange IPA (called Otis, I think) which is nice from time to time.

Ultimately, I prefer Belgian blondes/Tripels, but it's nice to have a variety of styles in the house depending on your mood.

For lagers, some of the continental stuff is pretty good. Not a great fan of most of the German pilsners though I am partial to Warsteiner now and again. Budvar probably still my favourite and Asda are still doing a great deal on that with 12 cans for 9 quid.

Whatever beer you are having, make sure you drink it out of a glass. You can't taste a beer properly if you can't smell it so swigging out of bottles or cans is pointless unless you're just trying to get drunk for the sake of it. I suppose Corona/Sol with a slice of lime in the neck are an exception to this rule. They don't taste of anything really, so the lime does at least add a bit of flavour!

Meant to add, I’ve a krups ‘sub’ machine that am hoping to upgrade to a blade/perfect draft in the coming months. I find some of the beers very good especially the moretti and püntigamer

We are currently parked up at the end of the world in farthest north west Scotland and the only beer we have is some Coors light. Think I could drink about 50 bottles before I felt any effects.

It's pish, as they say around these parts. Dont know how people drink this sort of stuff on a permanent basis.
