    My favouriite beer is a New Zealand brew called Monteith's Black.

    It can't be got in Ireland though.

    Paulaner, Schneider Heffe Weiss or Maisels Weiss

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

    Guinness gets my vote, again if you know your getting a good pint...
    favorite foreign brew would be Mahou, a Spanish beer but unfortunately haven’t seen it for sale in Ireland.. Anybody seen this around????

    My favourite beer brand would be Guinness followed by Grolsh and Brahma. I like how simplistic the Guinness marketing material is and how they have a traditional line through them mostly........ Brahma is brazillian with some very funky street art and cool brading........or is this what is your favourite type of beer? Sorry i work in the beverage industry so i got side tracked and nerdy.

    Favourite beer is presently Paulaner and Lech, but it varies with Guinness always being Number 1.

    I'd go with Heineken because I drink that when I'm out!!

    But I love imported beer, a german beer called Spaten was the last one to take my fancy.

    Yes I've tasted Mahou (pronouned "Maugh") in Spain before, it's alright but nothing special.

    What a horrible beer - I've heard it has more chemicals than any other beer in the world, and I'd well believe it.

    Guiness.

    After that lagers, such as Spaten, Staropramen, Leffe Blond, Tuborg (cheap but really good), but most importantly, I like to try a variety of beers to keep it interesting.

    Staropramen, good to see a few pubs around town have it on draught now.

    I like good quality beer like Spaten or Budvar and I tend to stock up on a couple of bottles of anything new I see in the loacl offie.

    For shame.
    For even more shame cos I drink it too.
    Better than that VB shoite.
    I like the ole Pilsner Urquell or Staropramen if I can, or that Chang beer is some lovely stuff. But in fairness the one thing I really want that I cant get over ere is a pint of Smithwicks.
    Man thats underappreciated stuff.

    :o For shame indeed. It's just so nice though!

    And agreed on VB. What horrible tasting piss that is. How somebody would voluntarily drink it I'll never know.

    Guinness, Smithwicks or Staropramen. however, obviously depends on availability and quality.

    Me housemate swears by the VB. So do a fair few of the hardened beer drinkers I've met in bars here in Melbourne. I just dont get it. It's swill.
    Now the Pale Ale stuff aint bad at all.
    Funny. but a few days ago I actually found 500ml cans for the first sime since I got to Oz, so frigging delighted cos the 370ml or whatever just isnt enough. So I actually bought cans of Amsterdam lager and enjoyed it like it was the finest beer on the planet.
    Tasted like Ireland!

    500ml cans? Fuck me I haven't seen the like in a long time! Found myself drinking Amstel when I was out the other week just to get a European taste.
