Beer....

[Tony Baloney]

Was down in Kilkenny at teh wekeend and the amount of people drinking Bulmers Pear was unreal, couldnt see the value in it myself, grand if your not drinking but couldnt do a session on it

What is the best session drink? A mate says he drank vodka and tonic all day at a wedding last week and woke up pretty much unscathed the next day. I've tried to convince myself that pints of Magners with loads of ice is the way forward as the ice negates the dehydration from the cider!

I have tried beers in the past but I just cannot get a taste for any of them have tried:
Bud
Carlsberg
Coors
Harp

Have also tried ciders in magners etc but still nothing I like. Any other beers that anyone would reccommend.

You cannot get a taste for them because they dont taste of anything.

try any of the following and you'll understand....

Warsteiner
Erdinger
Peroni
Hooegarden
Budvar


in fact MOST German or Eastern European imports....

...and last but not least....have a go at this ye boy ye....

Those would all be known as 'macros' na cleirigh, meaning that they're bulk produced, with all the destruction of character that that would imply. Those are all lagers, you might be better trying an ale or a German wheat beer.

Have a look at www.ratebeer.com. It's a good site for just about every beer there is, and you'll see that those four beers above are not exactly exalted on it.

Guinness for me is unbeatable and would be my favourite beer, I live 5 minutes drive from the best pint of guinness you could ever get in the states however in Armagh for me the best pint is in the Harps club, sensational pint there, honourable mention for the golf club.

My second best ever beer would have to be Taj Majal from india, it is a great lager, crisp and clean and refreshing and tastes lovely.

Third, I am not a beer drinker and dont really have a third but I enjoy Magners Cider in the summer from time to time, I am a wino by trade however I never had buckfast in my life, putrid shite that.

As Pat Molloy would say CIO....correct in one. Harps is best stout I've drank anywhere for a long time.

She's delighted all right - but the wife is complaining that the clucking is keeping her awake .
