    Can't beat a good pint of Arthur's if I'm out for a few.

    The Chimay's if I'm at home.

    It's not the nicest ale available, that would be MacArdles, but Smithwicks is alright. I sometimes get it with a guinness head.

    A lot of pubs will just stick a MacArdles on a Smithwicks tap or visa-versa if they run out. I'd love to do a taste test on those two.

    Phuket Lager Beer....one of the best "Pilsner" type beers i've tasted in a long, long time. Apparently its Thailand's only award winning beer....beating the pants of the headache inducing Singha and Chang...but apart from the Thai restaurants in Dublin and Cork, i cant find this beer anywhere. Help anyone?????

    heineken ftw....


  • Registered Users Posts: 679 ✭✭✭Get In There


    A nice cold bottle of Stella is heavenly. And the fact it's cheap in the supermarkets helps!! :D

    When I'm out, a good pint of carlsberg in its own glass :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 57 ✭✭James Bong 79


    undoubtedly guinness in a plain or guinness glass. but out of a can it has to be the famous dutch gold....

    I hate it when my beer has to share a glass.......????


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,076 ✭✭✭hunter164


    Good old Dutchy!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,817 ✭✭✭✭Dord


    Paulaner, Schneider Heffe Weiss or Maisels Weiss

    Pretty much any decent German beer, I am quite happy to pay for decent beer


    FTW!

    Although I prefered Maisels Dunkel beer. :)

    I'll usually have a pint of Guinness though. ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,739 ✭✭✭✭minidazzler


    Guinness is my poison, love the stuff.

    Also Murphys if the mood strikes me.

    I like vodka although we are fighting at the moment because it made me throw up.
    Same with Whiskey. I had it first last friday night and that was after 15 hours without food and I gawked!!! Not fun!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,484 ✭✭✭JIZZLORD


    guinness, spaten, maisels weiss, paulaner


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 15,660 Mod ✭✭✭✭dfx-


    Castle, Duvel, Kwak (needs its glass), Paulaner, Erdinger, Leffe, Carlsberg..

    I'm not fussy except Guinness and the unmentionables.

    MacA's on tap?

    Wow, where do you live, I've never seen it.

    I'm guessing Dundalk. ;)

    Number 1 Choice would be Beamish. But it can be hard to get a decent pint of it. Especially since I've moved back out the sticks.

    Number 2 would be Guinness.

    If it's a hot day after a match and I'm only having one or two I might a Lager. Whatever they have, they're fairly all the same to me. Anything except Bud. That's shockin pish.

    One thing I love about the UK is getting the likes of John Smiths on tap. I could drink that stuff 'till it comes out my ears. It's great stuff if you're on the beer for the day on a Stag or something as it's so easy to drink.

    With 2 young kids most of my drinking is at home these days. That's cans of draught Beamish for the winter and various Lagers in the Summer. I'll usually pick up 2 or 3 bottles each of 2 or 3 different types of imported lagers. Then the next time I go, I never remember the names of the one I liked last time, so it's another lucky dip. The only one that sticks out in my mind was Brahma, the Brazilian one that some else mentioned earlier on. Christ on a bike t'was shockin'.

    In the pub: Heineken!
    Out of the can: Coors light!:p

    in the pub: Carlsberg

    at home: Sol.....only had this last night for the first time and damn is it a nice beer


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,166 ✭✭✭enda1


    Chimay bleu, grimbergen double, westmallen triple, leffe blonde, duvel etc. etc. whatevers in the fridge usually.

    In Ireland, Guinness of course!

    Heineken, budweiser, miller, and all those are watery muck!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,905 ✭✭✭Rob_l


    I like bud light mmmmmmmmmmmmmm tasty


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 818 ✭✭✭Cormic


    I like most beers with the notable exception of Bud and Lite (sic) beers. Those are against nature.

    In the local I will usually have a Carlsberg. When abroad I will always sample the local beer.

    I like Polish Lech and Czech Gambrinus. From Irish - I like Bass, Smithwicks, Guinness stout.

    Can you get Gambrinus here? Please say yes...please say yes...please say yes...please say yes...

    Thats a gift of a question to answer. Harp Lager first and foremost. Followed swiftly by Guinness.


  • Registered Users Posts: 559 ✭✭✭Skittlebrau


    Good to see the Aussie beers getting a mention here. My current faves are Cascade Premium and Coopers Pale.

    Have to say I don't mind Vic(ious) Bitter either although Melbourne Bitter is a far superior drop.

    I'd have the occasional Erdinger when I'm out but at $9 a pint, it's pricey compared to all the locals.

    Back home it was always Guinness or Carlsberg.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 193 ✭✭fredzer


    Picked up a few bottles of Asahi, Japanese Beer, the other night mighty fine brew, would recommend it.
    :)
