    I'm not sure I could pick just three favourites, and in fact I'm not that choosy when it comes to beers anyway. However:

    Cruzcampo- I just got back from southern Spain and when you're hot and thirsty, and ice cold pint of this is the greatest thing you've ever tasted. San Miguel etc. all taste pretty similar but Cruzcampo just edges it. I think all spanish beer has quite a sharp bite to it, so you have to drink it very cold, but when you do it's spot on.

    33 Export: Just because it's French and cheap. I do love French Lager, it's lovely and crisp. French Kronenbourg 1664 is delicious, totally different to the crud they sell over here.

    Pelforth Brune: I tried some of this by accident on my honeymoon. Lovely treacly dark French ale. I suspect it's similar to Leffe dark. Shame it's so expensive.

    Spitfire: I'll drink most bitters, but in general I like Spitfire the best. I also like Directors and Tetley's (but definately NOT Tetley's Smooth). For me Bitter is more of a winter drink, I usually drink lager in the summer, bitter in the winter.

    Fullers Honeydew: It's pretty impossible to find this stuff, but when you do it's well worth a try. Young's Waggledance doesn't have quite as much of a honey taste so isn't quite as good IMO.

    Hmm...

    Guinness

    Pilsner Urquell (from t'czech rep.)

    Budvar..

    I likes me czech beers... and apparently, according to the peeps in Dubln, Guinness is a "Stout Porter" produced from roasted hops - hence the dark colour and slightly woody taste...

    Had my first pint of Guinness in a traditional pub in Dublin and went to the breweries aswell. Can't quite remember which one came first tho.

    Hmm so hard to choose after living and working in Germany so long.

    My fave international beers are:

    Guinness,
    Budwar,
    Staropramen.

    This list will change then according to local breweries depending on how good the real ale is or whatever.
    Newcastle Brown is also a big fave.

    oooh.. u reminded me of some crap that I had to deal with.

    I werked in a bar for ages.. And the first order by a yank for a "white wine spritzer" really irritated me. I was standing there going "WTF..Sir ?".. the standard thing for people that order strange drinks is to go "this 18 year old whiskey/beer drinker doesn't know what that is !! what a retard"

    The *worst one* was this chick that had blatantly made something up.

    her : "can I get a castle of sand ?"
    Me : "have I got time to go to the beach ?"
    her ; "hahahaahahahaa..."
    me : "What THE F*CK is it ?"
    her : "sup noob.. its orange juice and lemonade ?? u don't know what that is !!!"
    me : "get out of my bar --->".

    I have stella tonight

    Mmmmm, DirectHex beat me to Asahi, amazing, crisp, refreshing stuff and dirt cheap in most places.

    Nos 2 and 3:
    Nastro Azzuro (called 'Perroni' by lots of ppl, but doesn't that refer to the style, like 'pils'? anyway, who cares, it's lovely)
    Tsing Tao - lovely chinese stuff made with rice

    Spritzer just means wine & lemonade. And orange juice and lemonade is called a 'Henry' isn't it?

    I went to Dublin a couple of months ago for a long weekend. All i can say is that firstly the Guinness over there is more expensive than here (and for those in Dublin it only comes from down the road!) - I blame the Euro.

    But most shockingly, It tastes exactly the same in Dublin as it does in any good pub in England. And I went to all the 'real' pubs in dublin -not the tourist ones!
