The Proper Beer Thread!

[Genevieve]

Not really got a favorite ale, but i do enjoy them. Tbh im sure for some reason i'll get slated for this. but give me a nice ice cold stella any day.

stellas just a pretty standard ting really, so no one can slate you!

You obviously don't associate with beer drinkers. Like, a true beer elitist is the biggest elitist you will EVER encounter. The cream of the crop of snobbiness. The vanguard of chinstroking self-indulgence. Stella is the... liquid equivalent of Adolf Hitler to beer enthusiasts.

You just wish I were kidding.

stellas just a pretty standard ting really, so no one can slate you! i think its a bit too gassy, burping and pissing all the time. try john smiths, a nice crossover imo.

You know what, i've never acctually had john smiths. Gona be getting my drink on tonight so i'll buy a few tins. Thanks for the heads up

I like beer but I don't know much beers. In fact I just drink ordinary beers

But give me a Guiness or a Desperados and you'll make me a happy man!

Since I am from up north, its gotta be Newcastle Brown Ale without a doubt.

To be fair though, I don't know much about ale and don't really wanna bother. Newcy Brown does the job and if I am on a cheap night out, its £1 tequila to get me pissed anyways.

Whats Brewdog beer saying?

Theyve got some damn good marketing, and I hear that it's good shit, but I trust the opinions of real human beings more than critics so what do people reccomend I buy?

[the acid never lies]

Tried this the other day - wasn't half bad

Desperado MUST be purchased with lime, or you fail.

Real lime then, not the "special" lime edition.

Also lime & desperados reminds me of something else. Corona. What a lame excuse for beer.

Appreciating good beer isn't merely about intoxication, it's about enjoying the subtle flavours and varying degrees of bitterness and sweetness present in different brews. It is a craft product, one to be savoured, drinking it therefore is a bit like going out to eat in a good restaurant as opposed to McDonalds!

So yes you're right, if you just want to get hammered, don't "bother", and just stick to NB and tequila!

A couple from my "reserve" cupboard...

do any of you drink on the regs? i mean, i have a few pints of bitter everyday after work, people keep trying to tell me thats wrong. (well my missus does anyway)
any of you social, and i use this term loosely /everyday/ drinkers?
(Before you ask how the fuck do i afford it, i drink in a social club, its the only way! )

if any of you motherfuckers make it to california, you HAVE to check out Pliny the Elder, from Russian River Brewery, #2 beer in the world




really really really really good.

also, this:


california has the best beer in the world, in my opinion, but i'm a hop head so dont take it too seriously

Hobgoblin's marketing has always been a bit militant in that sense
