What is your favourite beer?

Mr. Wexford Doyle

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?

I met a fair few hardened beer snobs over the years that were always ready to denigrate Guinness in favour of some black forest gataeux stout or black pudding Porter or some such crap that they thought was immaculate. Guinness!, they'd shout, Chemicals, muck, yadda, yadda, yadda... To be honest, I don't care if Guinness is 99% toxic waste: a good Guinness is the real deal. And those idiots didn't have a clue what they were talking about.

Imo, Guinness drinkers are the biggest beer snobs of the lot. It's hilarious the way so many swear that X pub has the best Guinness known to man, while every other pub only serves muck, as if a multi-billion euro multinational would allow that kind of disparity in its products. It has to have two pours with the glass at a very specific angle, the first pour has to be X% of the pint exactly, it has to settle for a precise amount of time before the second pour, then you have to wait 113.875642 seconds before drinking the pint and the head should be Y millimetres exactly. Only the expert barman will be able to do this and it'll give you an excellent pint. But if there's a slight variation in any of this, the pint will be muck.

And it has to be Guinness. Beamish or Murphy's are obviously sh*te in comparison. Even though they're very similar stouts and most Guinness "experts" probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between them or standard Irish dry stouts sold by the many other breweries in a blind taste test.

If there was nothing else there I bet you would.ðŸ˜„

I'm drinking g&t's these days or bottles of Bud but tbh I'd drink any lager if there wasn't a choice..saw a sign in the local today for pints of Carling 3e and previously they had Tuburg (I think) for that price and all the regulars seem to buy whatever is on offer...

Ah shure, I'll have a pint of whatever you're getting for yourself usually.

Specifically though, when available, mine's a German or Bavarian Weisse -
HofBrau Munchen, Erdinger, Paulaner, Franziskaner, Schneider, all available here.

It started with Erdinger during my teens in rural Ireland while trying to get the strongest pint available in the local pub. Almost 20 years later and as many trips to Germany, German wheat beer is something I really love the taste of.

Room temperature is best, but cooled goes down nice as well.

Smithwicks is my drink of choice in most pubs at home. My favourite beer is an American one called "Goose Island IPA". I was in a bar in New York which had it on tap, was great. They also had a 10c buffalo wing offer going - sadly the day before I was there. I would have sat there all day eating wings and drinking goose island quite happily.

There's undoubtedly a difference in taste and creaminess between Guinness served in some pubs and Guinness served in some others. Without a doubt! I don't know why, but there is.

Staropramen

It's my tipple tonight, 6 for a tenner, usually it's 5 for a tenner. I'm more of a whiskey drinker at home than but if I'm picking up a fridge filler it's usually bavaria. If I'm treating meself to something in the same price range of Staropramen I'll usually pick up jupiler. A few of the offos have this years spaten festbier on special still in date until December. 6% alcohol but you wouldn't feel the bite. Sweeneys in glasnevin get it in most years, nice stuff if you get your hands on it.

Aren't they the crowd that do home-brew kits? Or two separate companies?

[Deleted User]

Smithwicks is my default drink although I prefer the blonde to the regular. The pale isn't nice.

Craft - Galway Hooker, Fuller's Organic Honey Dew, Whitstable Bay or Metalman are nicest.

Stout - Guinness large bottle from the shelf

Lager - Budvar or Harp. Although had two bottles of Budweiser recently and it tasted ok.

damnfinecoffee

Paulaner, Hoegaarden, Leffe at a pinch. Hop House whilst in Dublin because all of the above are too feckin' expensive here.

lawred2

Smithwicks or Peroni

GarIT

Lindemans Kriek, if I found somewhere that had it in South or West Dublin it would become my local.

Yeah its the same crowd. But that's their blue peter version (one they made earlier)

OBriens have it always. Honestly one of the best beers you can buy.
