Beer

At the moment I'm enjoying a Coopers Sparkling Ale, which is very yeasty to the point they used to describe it as having a steak and two eggs in every bottle.(protein wise).

It's particularly delicious

What brew you?

I'm very much into trying new beers. I have even created art from the labels:

I agree, Rick. It's a real problem as we get older :-(

And you know what they say about real ale?

When the bottom's falling out of your world,
drink real ale,
and the world will fall out of your bottom.

I gave up drinking any sort of alcohol after Hurricane Sandy.

When I did drink it was Sierra Nevada.

In Budapest I had a Pêche Mel' Bush - Peach Belgian beer... yummy and 8.5% that kicked my butt. I'm a lightweight. New favorite.

In the US my top favorite is Sam Adams Cherry Wheat.

No doubt if you want to go on a beer holiday, go to the Czech Republic.... those guys live and breathe beer. My friend had a field day a couple weeks ago trying everything.

Negra Modelo, a Mexican German-style dunkel with a smokey dark body just light enough not to weigh me down,
and has a touch of sweetness with caramel notes and hint of bitter chocolate that keeps it interesting… think i’ll have one now

I'm spoiled. I live in Chico, CA where the Sierra Nevada brewery is located. They have a wonderful taproom and restaurant where you can get almost all current brews on tap. My current favorite is Ovila Plum, but it's not available on tap. If you ever pass this way, the tours are worth your time to see one of the most environmentally designed breweries on the planet. And you get a free tasting afterwards.

I'm not a heavy, dark beer person. The more IPA's I try the more I realize I'm just a light beer gal. My favorite is a simple Blue Moon with a couple orange slices squeezed right in.

Hi Guna, that's my favorite tipple here in France.

Good Real Ales doesn't seem to cross the Channel (except if I visit England).

A cold Foster's would be great right now, IF I had one. I don't care for any flavored beers and just prefer my beer to taste like beer. Perhaps the best beer I ever had was a long time ago during my tour of duty with the Army in South Vietnam. Heat and dehydration were also an enemy to deal with, while on patrol or resting at temporary base camps. A squad of ten 18 - 20 year old guys could run out of water fast and get really thirsty.

Sometimes it was possible to radio a request for water from a main base and hours later a helicopter would arrive with cases of warm sodas or beer. All compliments of U.S. Taxpayers and we were often told there was a water shortage back at HQ or no containers to put it in. Of course, at that point when you have stopped sweating, when your lips are dry or cracked and your tongue has started to swell up... you will be happy to drink anything. Cans back then did not have " pop-tops " and we quickly discovered another use for our bayonets.

I have never been that thirsty since those times and I always have at least one cold brew in the fridge for any emergency.

Hello Lady Isabella

Pretend Ale costs less, does not rot your brain, or give you a beer belly and you wake up in the morning with a clear head.

So I've heard.

Mine is Glenfiddich Breaking not Blurred

Only big girls drink Vodka Martini

Mel,

FYI

Schlitz..."The Beer that made Milwaukee Famous" is now brewed in Woodridge, Illinois, at the Pabst brewery.

Thanks Roger...I didn't know that.

I'll have to see if I can find some in my area as I am not too far from Illinois.

The beer in the North of England was commonly regarded as much better than in the South.

The water is different.

There are still breweries in the North but many of them are now closed and a lot of beer is now brewed in the South.

We get most of our ale from Dunham Brewery

Freshly brewed. Their own flavours and sometimes a quick taste in the brewery part itself :)

When in Europe - I went to the Heineken brewery - wonderful beer - in Europe - can't say that when it's imported here.

In Japan - Kirin or Sapporo

Dos Equis ain't bad either.

Coors used to be drinkable.
