    If its warm it would have to be heino, tbh though, drinking really warm beer is horrible, if its unavoidable go for a ale or cider instead (Should taste much better warm than a lager)

    guinness nitro swill is as low down the ladder as I go.
    (with the exception of if there's something yellow and fizzy that I've never had before, I'll taste one so I can say I did).

    I disagree with becks being there,

    its a good quality albeit very available beer working within German purity laws.

    not certain if I had the vier,

    Ive built up quiet a liking for it after rock im Park,
    and returning home to find 20 bottles(250ml) for €20 in tesco,
    all I need is that box, my pink shorts, my boots and vest some Germans, a pack of wet ones and loud music and its like I never left.

    Beck's Vier is certainly a different beer to normal bottled Beck's.

    The canny Irish drinker won't tolerate a lager at 4% ABV, so they water it to 4.3% for us.

    Nobody for Stella?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 512 ✭✭✭lmtduffy


    Nobody for Stella?

    I bought a box of stella when visiting some friends in London for a week end, nobody would drink it, I couldn't get drunk drinking it because I couldn't even drink it fast enough.

    Ive bought it the odd time in pubs to be ironic.

    Why :confused:

    I personally love Stella and at 5% if you drink 6-7 pints and you will defiantly feel it

    Ah ya can't beat a nice pint of Ken...



    Well you can, but its my favourite crap beer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,466 ✭✭✭Blisterman


    I like Corona. Although seeing as it's actually brewed in Mexico, I suppose it has some integrity, so doesn't belong on the list.


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


    unfortunatly it'd be carlsberg


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 21,504 Mod ✭✭✭✭Agent Smith


    Been Drinking SOL Recently as my local off-licence have had a deal on.

    Not a bad drink all in all.


    Heineken would be my normal "beer", but guinness is my tipple of choice


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Miller would be my sh*te beer of choice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,389 ✭✭✭✭Saruman


    Only beer i tend to drink when im in a pub is Guinness.
    Unless of course the pub actually has some decent beer, in which case i will pay extra for the premium beer.

    I do not see the appeal of mass produced beer though, Stella would be my mass produced Lager of choice but even still i would much rather a decent brew like Bishops finger, O' Haras etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,455 ✭✭✭weemcd


    a thousand times miller, id go as for to say if i was never allowed another drop of anything bar one choice, id go for miller every time.

    Ehmmm. Not sure how to say this, but are you aware it's quite likely to disappear from the Irish market in the near future? Rumour has it that SABMiller won't play ball with Beamish's new owner Heineken and may refuse to renew their licence to brew Miller.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,203 ✭✭✭partyguinness


    Its stout all the way for me or else German Erdinger if I am feeling cosmo..but cant drink too much it goes straight to my head after 5-6.

    I cant understand how anyone can drink the ****e listed in the poll...:mad:

    TBH I actually like the taste of Erdinger or even Bitter..but hand on heart..who really likes the taste of Bud or Heino or..Fosters...*shivers and recoils in horror*

    Live in the north tbh so it shouldn't be too much hassle for me to still get my hands on it?

    I have never seen MGD on tap anywhere in England, so I don't think it's really sold here. I had it in a bottle in a restaurant once, and the bottle said "Brewed in Ireland", so I'm afraid you're out of luck with that one.

    If it's draught, or if the bottle says "brewed in Ireland", then you can expect it to go. If it's imported from Milwaukee (as Miller used to be before Beamish & Crawford took to brewing it in 1998) it'll still come in via the same channels, I'd say.

    as a bonus if you drink enough of it you'l have very strange dreams that will keep you amused (and terrified) all night, different from normal drunk dreams

    Richmond marketing will be importing it from the end of April/start of May according to one of their reps.

    Oh joy. For a moment I was afraid the Irish market would lose one of its pale lagers, and we're dangerously undersupplied as it is.
