The beer thread

[Jay 02 TA ws6]

After a little over a week here in London, it has come to my attention that the beer in the States is, well, rubbish (learning the lingo, hehehe...).

If you enjoy a brew every now and again, post some of your favorites, and if you know of any European beers that I really need to try while I am over here, give me a recommendation

So far, I have enjoyed:
Fuller's London Pride
Staropramen
Boddington's
Well's Bombardier
Bass (I know it is in the States too, but I love it)
Carlsberg
Carling (this tastes just like Miller, it wasn't good)
and also Scrumpy Jack and Strongbow cider which both get the thumbs up...

Well, my credits are about to expire here, so I gotta post this... talk to you gents later.

England's a lot of fun. I was in Manchester last summer, the people there are great.

Hmmm lets see:
1. Budweiser
2. Bud light
3. MGD Lite
4. Icehouse

No thick or dark beers for me . Yuk!!!!

OH MY GOD, MAN!!! Do yourself a favor... go buy a six pack of Blue Moon or Bass tonight...

these are not thick dark beers... they just aren't watered-down crap tasting macro-brews.

Yea right ive tried blue moon and that is nasty. I just like Budweiser and MGD products, the taste is irresistable....hmmm i'm going to go grad a cold one right now.....aaaaaaaahhhhhhh refreshing. And I cant just go down to the liquor store and grab some cuz im only 18 but ill just call my friend and tell him to grab some on his way home. Is this topic suitable for this forum?

Red stripe, guiness, amberbock, bass, newcastle, hefawisen (SP).... just for starters... but for a night at the bars for gettin smashed... Mich lite, miller lite, bud, Corona

Yummy.. I love beer and its Fun... I wish i could have some down here in Guatemala... these guys didnt put a ATM on the base camp and they are being dicks with the cash back system so i have to watch everyone drink thier beer... 20 more days and a wake up then back to the states for good old fashioned bars and partyin!

If you ever get to Aruba, try Amstel Bright. Sierra Nevada is a good ale.

So you're only 18... your tastes will change...

In a couple years you'll appreciate the good beers.

How true. When I was 18-19 it was Busch light all the way I like good beer now though....Later

Well, when I was there I had a pint of Director's. Also had another that I can't remember the name of. Good that you're having fun - Jay, what does your new job entail besides goofing off in London and pub crawling?

Here are a few of my favorites:

Guiness draught - it tastes even better straight from a fresh tap.

Samuel Smith (English) Oatmeal Stout - an incredible stout with hints of dark chocolate.

Most German beers are excellent - (excuse the spelling) Dincklacker, Hefewessin (general term for wheat beers), any beer from Munich or Bavaria,

Harps- a very easy drinkin' brew

Boddingtons and Carlsberg are very good

Warsteiner - one of my personal favorites...a good amber, easy to drink.

Better than what, Al?

[Mr Nice Guy]

Mmmmm Warsteiner.....I love that stuff

[MikeE24]

Guiness all the way, Newcastle and Tadcaster are also good. I've been told by many people that have visited England that these beers are also much tastier in England than they are in America. Try as many different beers as u can while your there for sure!
