American Beer...

[NeilI]

I concur with US beers available here being pish.

I like Leffe, Hoegaarden, Grolsch and Setlla too. Though more than 5 or 6 pints of Stella and the plot starts to escape me, especially on one of those 'spirits later on' nights...
Corona and Sol and really nice with a wedge of lime, at a BBQ. Couldn't drink enough of them in the summer. Sol without lime tastes a little ropey IMO.
And if I'm just out for a social couple, you can't beat a pint of whatever Ale your local is serving. Belhaven Best is not bad, but my other local has Scottish ales on bi-weekly rotation, which is nice.

cant beat fosters or carling. i do like bud but i never pay the extra for it

Anything from York Brewery (Terrier, Dark Knight etc), Hart's, Pictish...

"American Beer" is an oxymoron

[NeilI]

Here's a link to an American beer site USA Beer

Did anyone else think it was a mild irony for Americans to be in charge of the website 'realbeer.com'??



Just kidding!

[NeilI]

Ah Nichomach, great minds think alike!

Just kidding!

That's an interesting observation

[nichomach]

Actually, my former boss maintains that there ARE some stonkingly good real ale microbreweries over there, so there's hope yet. S'pose I should pimp his site, really.

lol - well they can have some slip ups, as they do make good beer (not lager) properly go belgiumese (or whatever you call a group of them)

Go to Belgium, take the Interbrew tour, get free Stella Stella is a totally different drink in the EU, the problem is when we try and make it in the UK we make a mess of it...

i had a miller while i was in hooters over in the US
and it was dam good beer

as for stella (wife beaters) Yuk !!!! cant stand the stuff
drink it when im pi$$ed enough from carling or fosters

[Trash Man]

I just don't like beer. It's either cider, red wine or spirits for me. I just find beer way to gassy and every one I have tried leaves me with a nasty after taste. Oh well someone has to keep the apple growers in business

[Richie]

I like Bud myself altho I would happily swap it for some Pilsner Urcell (sp?).... First tried it in Prague last year and its bloody lovely

[schrickvr6]

u knows it clart - S.A.F.

lol u knows it don't u blad

stella in bottles is much better than the crap in cans or off tap as its brewed in belgium and not by whitbread over here

[malfunction]

To be fair to 'american' beers most of them are brewed over here - they're just licensing the brand - same with loads of other 'foreign' beer too... Obviously the breweries say they stick to the same recipe / aim for the same taste but IMO that's a load of s**t. I used to be a big fan of Red Stripe for example but now it's brewed in the UK (Norwich or somewhere) and it's nowhere near as nice as the real Jamaican stuff. Anyone that does like Bud should try Budvar Budweiser - apparently the original and nothing to do with Americans...

This seems to be my flavour of the week
/me cracks one open just now

Cheers!

Now that's what I call GOOD use of a fridge!!

You need a bigger one though, acidrainy. 15 bottles is just not enough...

[steve threlfall]

You cannot beat a bottle of Tiger in my opinion. If you have not tried it, then you should.

yep gorgeous stuff

I love stella

Last time I had Grolsch it tasted like potatoes


might have another bottle and see what it tastes like.
