    Overall, the company has recalled more than 25 million vehicles over the past two-and-a-half years.
    For a company that makes 10 million vehicles a year that is pretty impressive.

    Miller Pilsner is f'kin horrid

    I'm suprised with all the people saying Budweiser. It's popular to hate, would have thought people would go for something that is truly just awful rather than Bud which is just kind of tasteless and light.

    Over in New Zealand for the Lions tour, we drank Mac's Gold. The worst, and most heinous excuse for beer I've ever tried. It's like mixing cat piss and Guinness farts to make a drink only the devil would contemplate drinking. It's honestly a never again drink.

    On the good side, in Slovakia they drink Saris, which is fcukin devine.

    We should defend our way of life to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed, so that any adversary will never make such an attempt in the future.

    I really hate Harp which is a shame as it's an Irish beer.
    I'm told lots of new Irish beers are coming on the market so I'll have to try some when it get back to Ireland

    I would have thought that all beer is fairly undrinkable and an acquired taste - at least it was with me. Bottled beer of any type is pure muck and should only be drunk as a last resort i.e. if the draught has run out or you're in one of those increasingly rare pubs that only stock bottled beer. As for describing Guinness as disgusting......nectar of the Gods!! I still stick with my original choice - Harp - disgusting from the bottle or keg. :D

    An acquired taste alright but some beers are just nicer than others. Nothing wrong with bottled beer, it can often be better than draught and many of the best beers you can buy in Ireland are only available in bottle from.

    Macs gold is a bland pale lager the same as any other, your description of it is ridiculous.

    Lot of negativity towards harp. There was a time up north where you went into a pub and your choice was this. (in draught)

    Bar A had Tennants, Smithwicks and Guinness.
    Bar B had Harp, Bass and Guinness.

    That was your choice. And tbh, it's a long time since I've had harp, but don't recall it being too bad. Wouldn't drink it in a bar these days over of my other beers, but for me if it was all was on offer, I'd not complain.

    Most European beers are pretty decent.

    Although I won't drink (be ripped off) 'craft beers', its a publicans attempt to rip us off with overly inflated prices on beers which aren't good enough to make it big.

    Other than that it's got to be Millers ~ its absolute gick.

    You've worked in bars & clubs just like me so you should know that publicans are buying their craft beers cheaper than the Carlsbergs, Heineken, Buds etc.. Often they're given free barrels as a 'thank you' for selling their product ~ which the publican puts on tap in the bar and further rips the customer off.

    Publicans make a tidy little profit on the hipster's acquired taste for craft beers.

    You're NOT getting a better product supplied to at a higher cost to the publican, you're getting an inferior product supplied cheaper and sold at inflated costs.

    For someone who has worked in the pub trade for so long, it's easy to tell you which side of the bar you were standing on and how little you knew about the costings of the business.
    And if you think it's cheaper to make or buy a keg of any craft beer than it is to buy macro-produced swill like bud, heineken or basically any commercial lager you're laughably misinformed.

    Straffe Hendrik Quadrupel. My first quadrupel ever, and most certainly my last. I very rarely like ales, so me and Straffe Hendrik were never going to work out.

    Fosters probably my least favourite lager.

    Your least favourite beer is one of the best beers produced in Belgium, a country known for traditionally brewing the best beers in the world (I say traditionally because the US has probably surpassed them in the last 20ish years).

    I think it's just safe to say you don't like beer.

    Macs gold isn't a bad commercially produced pale lager, it's just a commercially produced pale lager and pale lagers are all, well, pretty bland. They are designed to be bland so as to appeal to the most people possible.

    The blandest beers on the planet are the best selling, and they are all lagers and they are all like having sex in a canoe.

    No, you're wrong there. I like lots of different beers, I basically don't drink anything else alcoholic. I like some "macro-produced swill" beers as you called it, and I've liked a fair number of craft beers that I've tried. I just didn't like Straffe Hendrik Quadrupel at all. Does everybody have to like Straffe Hendrik Quadrupel in order to like beer?

    You said earlier you "rarely like ale". Seeing as any beer that isn't lager is ale then you don't like most beer styles on the planet (ale is an extremely broad term).
    And no not everyone has to like anything. I don't like Belgian triples or wit bier or lambics or farmhouse ales which would all have examples which would be considered "world class" beers.
    The only Belgian beers I do really like are doubles, quads and the odd Flanders red lije roddenbach (sp?).

    I just find it odd you'd call something like the beer you named one of your least favourites. I'd reserve a title like that for stuff that is genuinely gut wrenching like warn Budweiser or something.

    The British do good ciders and ales, but their beers are fecking awful.

    Carling is one of the most disgusting things I have ever had the displeasure of drinking. Outside of Britain I'd point towards Heino and Bud; aside from Budweiser though I find most of the other mainstream American beers to be alright!

    Obviously there's all the usual Bud, Miller, Coors, anything with light/lite in the name. But probably the three worst beers I've ever tasted are:

    Desperados - how they can get away with putting "beer" on the label of this muck is beyond me. It's supposed to have tequila added, but to me it tasted like that Club Shandy stuff you could get years ago. Truly vile stuff that I wouldn't give to my worst enemy. Or even my sister's idiot partner.
    Lomza honey beer - tasted this recently and then then poured the rest of the bottle down the sink. It's overwhelmingly sickly-sweet and smells more of honey than beer. There are a lot of good things that have come out of Poland. This isn't one of them.
    Steinlager - New Zealand's biggest export beer, apparently. Or as my Kiwi mate put it, they ship it out of the country so the locals don't have to drink it. Truly terrible beer, and it doesn't even have the excuse of having something added to it like the other two.
