My fave is probably Foster's, love the stuff but know it's not to everyone's taste.

Pinch Flat · 05-04-2014 12:57AM

Guinness in a pint bottle

Big ale fan as well, so London pride, abbot ale and Greene king IPA

German beers - rothhaus pils a fave at the moment

Abbot ale gives you the most minging hangovers though, seriously. Greene King IPA, can you buy that in Eire? They sell it in one of the cheap pub chains here that I can't remember the name of. It's nice though.

Guinness in a pint bottle,love it!

Ale no.Used to drink Newcastle Brown years ago but gone right off it.Gives off a horrible 'stale ale' vibe the next day and probably the worst and most prolific farts.

Fine wines have that while range. There a load of English ales under that umbrella

Owldshtok · 05-04-2014 01:27AM

Fischers ..the Austrian one.

Oranjeboom

Beamish - love the sweetness

Mine would have to be Molsen Canadian, now admittedly I haven't tried a a wide variety but that's my favourite thus far.

molsons is pretty drinkable,back to the question at hand my least favourite beer is dutch gold,and not because of the stereotypical dutch mold drinker,it just tastes rank.yeah its cheap but its disgusting.bavaria is the same price and is a far superior beer.karpackie is priced the same also and is a nice full beer from Poland but tastes like something brewed in a Czech style.

Beer seems to be the topic where boards has its most jarring difference with the normal public. If you asked everyone on the street the beer they most often drink, at least 90% would say Guinness, Heineken, Smithwicks, Corona etc.

On boards though, a sizable minority, if not a slight majority will name craft/microbrewery type drinks. Not saying either is better than the other, just that its interesting to see how craft beers seem overrepresented on boards.

The question was about FAVOURITE beer, not what people drink most often. If your made-up question was asked by the OP, I'm sure a lot of answers would have been different. Mine, for example would have been Beamish, as my favourite beers are only available in one or two venues near me specialising in craft beers.

harry Bailey esq · 05-04-2014 02:03AM

just re read the title(having a few a few refreshments meself) my favourite at the moment is spaten,i drink ciders in the summer mainly but always come back to the spaten its delicious

Diabhal Beag · 05-04-2014 02:19AM

Spaten
Staropramen
Erdinger Kristall
Heineken

Moghead · 05-04-2014 02:20AM

Had a few pints of rebel red tonight and thought it was very nice. I'll drink most beers though, but I think the hangover off Heineken and Carlsberg are really bad for me, and they taste manky too.

Woodpecker1 · 05-04-2014 02:23AM

Anything our own Irish micro brewers is superb and growing fast. Lots of thought and skill going into it.

Creans lager from the the Dingle Brewing company is very good . One of my favs.

From the supermarket it is Franciscan Well .. Quality brews.

Instead of drinking foreign mass produce supermarket crap from Holland , Poland, Uk and so on.

Give our own craft beers a go. Much tasty.

Yeah they sell that Creans lager on Aer lingus flights now, it's really nice. But Poland do make some really lovely cans of bier, I just ran out and bought 3 x Tyskies. My old saying - 3 Tyskies - no riskies. That doesn't count for the bottle of wine and 6 cans I had before them though, sigh

donegal__road · 05-04-2014 02:27AM

until recently I would have said Leffe, but there is a local micro brewery called Kinnegar in north Donegal.. Rustbucket and Scraggy Bay are now my favorite beer.

Heinkien!

superglue · 05-04-2014 04:05AM

'Tis hard to bate a Punk. Gosh darn, that's a tasy brew.

alaimacerc · 05-04-2014 04:14AM

Franziskaner Dunkel. Sad I'm not going to be visiting Germany to quaff lots of it this year... might just have to make good locally! (They have it in the Bierhaus these days?)

hughesga · 05-04-2014 04:21AM

Discovered a new beer called Brahma recently, it's Brazilian and very nice... 4 for €4.50 in Supervalue at the moment

BetterThanThou · 05-04-2014 04:39AM

I will admit, I have tried very few, but the only beer I can stand is Corona, and even that I don't like. I'll take anything over beer, though I like cider.

grindle · 05-04-2014 04:42AM

3 Monts, Ola Dubh 12, anything by Innis & Gunn (but their whiskey and rum brews are extra-delicious), Palm Royale, Kwak.

Impossible to choose just one.

Rebel Red or Mi Daza if I was in a pub with a relatively limited selection and Beamish or Guinness if caught in an absolute hole of a pub.

chrissb8 · 05-04-2014 04:47AM

Augustiner helles or edelstoff. You will not find a better lager for the former mentioned. If you want a little punch but not much then the latter is the option. Beautiful beers. All commercial beers are a joke. They are just destroying taste buds. Spaten is brilliant as well. Thornbridge range if I'm looking for something hoppy!

Augmerson · 05-04-2014 05:55AM

James Boag beer from Australia tastes nice. If I've a choice and have the money I'll buy that.

osarusan · 05-04-2014 08:33AM

Hobgoblin Ruby Red Ale
Deuchars IPA
McSorleys IPA

So many quality beers atm.

Tyskie
Lech
Zywiech

(Polish beer and great stuff)

Coopers sparkling ale. (Australian, delicious)

O'Haras pale ales (brewed in Bagenalstown, it's really, really good)

My current fave though, Lomza (unpasteurised) it's Polish, 5.8% and I'll swear it's hangover proof.

Just trying my first Lomza now, what a beauty, move over Molson.

Thats not true in my experience, maybe a few years ago yes but now more and more people are getting into craft beers. My parents and my friends all drink craft beers from time to time.

If I'm out for the night I'll probably drink cheap sh!t because its quantity over quality in that situation. But if I'm having a few quiet ones I'll buy something nice. Blue Moon with a slice of orange is my favourite at the moment. If I could afford to get drunk on the good stuff I would though.

Forgot about that Caledonian stuff.
Fantastic ale.

Pricy but quality over quantity any day.

Would rate the Polish beer as the best of the mass market stuff.
(excluding stout and wheat beer that is) ..

Serious growth in English Ales and well as irish over here recently. A new trend is beginning , just like it did in the states.
