Thanks, you're very kind, but i have long since accepted the fact that although i am a keen and enthusiastic amateur, i just don't have what it takes to turn pro!

Love it.

Same as yourself, though, I can't drink alcohol with my dinner, it's rotten.

Can't drink beer with food. Just can't. Dunno how the Germans do it. The only drinks I can have with foor are wine, milk, water or tea. Cola with a burger.

Love beer by itself though.

I'd say a lot of people who don't like beer have only tried pisswasser.

because I don't. This has only dawned on me now. I still drink it, but I don't find the taste pleasant.

When eating food, I can't stand the taste of any alcohol. I don't think I could go out and drink coke or 7up all night though. I'd be bouncing off the walls with all the sugar in me.

Try a bottle of Lech or Tyskie and come back to me, feckin tasty..

i like beer some beer more than others, 24 bottles for 15euro supermarket offers are obviously gonna be dodgy but as long as its cold your safe enough. In fairness though bulmers and guinness piss all over everything else. Can't drink beer with food either but i love having some cold bulmers with my food at a BBQ.

I'm one of those people who likes to wash down my dinner with an ice cold cobra/tiger/corona.

Its an acquired taste. But yes people drink it more for the "effect" than the taste.

Its kind of like putting on a superman cape. You know it looks ****, but it helps you defeat the bad guys and get the girl

Mmmmmmm, chimay

GavRedKing · 12-04-2011 11:47AM

I've never drank a full bottle in my life, i have always drank either cider or spirits and saying that i didnt start drinking until I was 17.

I've tasted a few beers, mainly the major brands, and never took to any of them but thats just personal taste TBH.

Wolfe Tone · 12-04-2011 12:51PM

I hate the taste of lager Capt Morgans ftw

Day to Day I wouldnt drink beer, but when Im chillin on a warm summers day. There is nothing I like more. Or if I have movie night in with Pizza, beer is a must.

Eating's cheating when it comes to alcohol, food or beer, one or the other but defo not together!

O'Hara's do a nice range plus you can get it on draft in the Wild Board in Stepaside: http://www.obrienswine.ie/Beers/Over-20//10B037/

I really don't like the taste of beer. If its brewed in a brewery pub ya I would like it but its a bit bland I like it if it were sweeter like cider is. I'd really only drink beer unless I had other drinks aswell so not to taste the beer...If I mixed it with a soft drink might make it taste better for me.

Paddy_Smith · 12-04-2011 03:13PM

Don't like beer with food myself.

I also don't know how anyone can drink tea with food, or any other hot drinks.

KnifeWRENCH · 12-04-2011 03:19PM

I've hated the taste of most beers I've ever tried (Cobra is somewhat drinkable but the rest I've tried were rotten.) I stick to cider on nights out.

I have been told it's an acquired taste, I just don't have the patience to acquire that taste. I've also been told I should try wheat beer but I haven't got around to it yet.

maximoose · 12-04-2011 03:24PM

I dont like the taste of Beer, but its not disgusting. I'd agree with the posts in here about beer and food, I'd MUCH rather have a coke or whatever with food than any beer.

I also fail to distinguish different tastes between different brands, beer is beer.

No it's not. The lagers that are served in Irish pubs, served at .0001 above freezing may all taste pretty much the same (of very little), but beer has as many different styles and tastes as wine. A good stout tastes nothing like a pale ale, a German wheat beer is completely different than an English Ale or a Belgian Lambic.

And for a country that is associated with, and perhaps proud of its drinking prowess, we are offered a pretty dreadful selection in the majority of pubs.

theZomboid · 12-04-2011 03:42PM

some beers like Erdinger, depending on the particular label, i like the taste of but as a rule . . . whiskey ; )

I think the key word in that last line of my post was "I"

I know there are probably plenty of beer boffs and enthusiasts who would read that as blasphemy. I probably should have been clearer, I usually only ever drink lagers, and the mainstream ones at that.

Actually, one beer that I do like the taste of...and to my delight its popping up on tap all over the place now... is Hoegaarden. Lovely stuff.

Uuuuuuuuuggghhhhh

Leffe Blonde, Erdinger, Duvel, but top of the list is Franziskaner. It is glorious, it is that €500 note found on the path that no-one else is claiming...

So yes...though I drank Duvel in Against the Grain a couple of months ago before being dragged kicking and screaming into Flannery's and being made choose from their 'selection' including Smithwicks, Carlsberg and Heineken. It was the difference between night and day, exactly like water..

Franziskaner is amazing. I don't think it's widely sold over here, hence its relatively low profile. I drank loads of it when I was in Berlin but for ages I didn't know it was sold over here at all.

And here, don't knock the Smithwicks.

No matter how immature it is, that name always makes me giggle.
