    Which beer is your favourite?

    Personally, I only drink Guinness and Smithwick's, but, occasionally, I might have a Bulmers or a Heineken.

    Statistically, lager is the most popular beer in Ireland, followed by stout, then followed by cider and then ale.

    So, what are your favourite beers?

    Cider is not beer.

    I dunno what I'm allowed to drink. If I drink a beverage that's not widely available I'm a craft beer wanker but if I say I like Heineken I'm drinking mass produced p*ss. I'll just stick with the heroin.

    Ciders are made from fermented fruit, beer is made from fermenting malted barley/wheat.

    My favourite. Only in a Marty Morrissey head-sized goblet though, with juniper berries and organic kale in it.

    Stout
    Free beer. But when thats not available:

    Lagunitas
    Sam Adams
    Wicklow Wolf

    Peroni if none of the above is available. The Heinos and Carlsbergs of the world are very watered down dish water that lacks any sense of flavour. But if Im stuck....

    Stout
    Guinness

    Craft Beer
    Crafty Brewing Company American Wheat Ale
    KPA Kinsale Pale

    Lager
    Estrella Damm

    Cider
    Savanna Dry

    All subject to change, except for Guinness.

    I'm just wondering, which lager would generally be more popular, Carlsberg or Heineken?

    I hardly ever drink Carlsberg but do sometimes have a Heineken and enjoy it.

    I like all beers tbh, ive never had a beer and thought it was horrible. I used like dutch gold back in the day but they had to be very chilled.

    Heineken probably.
    Carlsberg to me has a nasty aftertaste.

    Guinness if I’m in a pub.

    Budvar everywhere else.
    Not a beer drinker and drink no other beer but love Budvar out of a pint bottle.

    If it had to be very chilled then you don't like it. They chill beer to disguise the taste, thats why you have the chilled beer taps in bars.

    I'd go for Kinsale pale ale but just tried the Mccargles little bangin IPA which is very nice too.
