You have never ever sat there and said good movie, good book, good meal, good beer or anything?

I no longer favour those earthy beers that you so delight in, Spiny. But if you're buying...

It's the likes of Rigwelter that taste just a little bit like mud. Waggledance is quite light and fruity with a hint of honey.

Your comment "drink it get drunk htfu" sort of indicates that the point of beer is too get drunk rather than enjoy it.
You may as well just eat Mcdonalds as it fills you up rather than eat and also enjoy your food......watch a movie as it passes the time rather than watch a movie to enjoy.

I had to take care of 2 real ales a while back, Adnams (ugh) and Flowers.

I fell in love with Flowers & haven't drank it since I left the pub. Would love to try it again. Tis a seriously quaffable pint.

Your quote missed the :wink:

Even so top 20 beers, give me a break, I couldn't produce a top 20. For it to have any creedence you would need to have 50 or so in the frame wouldn't it.

Do they still do the gorgeous Cascade in Oz?

From my experience VB would be the worst beer in Oz if wasn't for the shiiite that calls itself Tooheys.......

There is indeed Golden Bear! and a mighty fine beer it is too! :wink:

Also, another fave of mine out here is Coopers Pale Ale...

And yes, we started drinking VB when we arrived here and soon realised it was this pishy drink that was the reason for our stinking headaches!! yuck! no more VB!
Tooheys on the other hand is almost quoffable...?! ever so slightly better in my opinion than VB!

Can't tell you disappointed I was with Australia's beers when I first went there, and since. VB is tasteless and watery.

The only ones I've really liked over there are Cascade, and there was one called Blue Trounge, not sure if that's spelt correctly.

My top 20 beers list is:

=1 Budweiser Budvar (not the rubbish American namesake, who frankly isn't fit to share a name with such a magnificent brew)
=1 Peroni
3 Tsingtao (not sure if I've spelt that right either, it's pronounced 'Ching-dow')

Everything else is nowhere :wink:

I wonder if McEwens Champion is available outside Scotland.

It's a lovely bottle of beer to have with dinner and at 7.3 % sometimes it is dinner :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Pelforth Brun is quite a nice beer available in Paris. Is that the one ?

Now I've developed a taste for real ale ( as opposed to imaginary ale I suppose) I have found two to be near perfection.
In order of suppability:
1 - Fursty Ferret (spelling is correct)
2 - Landlord - Timothy Taylor Brewery.

Well worth a little sip.
