The Proper Beer Thread!

[AxeD]

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.

So true, met some of these guys at a party...

Anyway: Gulpener Limburgs Land, Westmalle, any Chouffe and Karmeliet. Although Karmeliet has a really weird taste to it, I believe
they add oats.

<3 tasty beer. Red stripe is only drinkable at carnival. Otherwise lager is like drinking milk. I need a beer with flavour! English ales, European beers of all flavours, American IPAs and dark beers... Yes. I love beer so much I volunteer at CAMRA ale festivals. It's fun and you get to try all the beers for free.

Everyone who likes ale in London should get their asses to the Southhampton Arms:
1. 8 ales
2. ~12 ciders
3. Takeaway 4-pint flagons at the same price as beers drunk there
4. Right next to Hampstead Heath
5. 4 kinds of pork pie, roast pork baps, cheese baps, sausage rolls
6. A pint is only 2.70 - about as cheap as it gets in London for good beer (Sam Smiths is alright).

some tasty shit right here

I think there's much better American IPAs than that. Titan IPA is available in the UK, but the very best one I've had is by Peak Organic brewing in Oregon. So good.

Whats Brewdog beer saying?

Punk IPA is damn good.

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

I tried it in San Fran, it's pretty good.

[lloydnoise]

this man knows

tried these recently


stronger and way more complex than the normal SN pale ale, really damn good beer


even stronger but more robust, quite light though for a beer pushing 10%


tastes like champagne! Sainsbury's sell it for just under £2 a bottle, definitely worth trying

[wolf89]

That hardcore IPA is pretty good

[cosmic_surgeon]

[frank grimes jr.]

Paulaner Hefe is the one!

I'm also buying lots of Sam Adams Latitude 48, past few months.

Think they're largely over hyped. They go for a lot of gimmicks.

However. Their beer called Edge is seriously good.

[dubduck]

This is the one.

[cosmic_surgeon]

That delirium tremens has a bit of a serious name. Like rebranding McDonalds as "Coronary Artery Disease".

Looks posh though, what's it like?

Yeh i had it again recently and was definitely not as good as i remembered... kinda regret posting it, as now i'd prefer Sam Adams' straight lager over it..

but i'm a dedicated Russian River, Stone, and Sierra Nevada man now... the pale ale powerhouses

light, sweet, easy to drink. really a good beer.

Never had it, some of my friends drunk it and say it's good.

If one of you beer-fans is in Brussels, you should go to the Delirium Cafe. It's close to the Rue des Bouchers. (I wouldn't be able to find it though)
Their beer-cart counts over 2000 beers. So if you want to try some beers, it's the place to be.

guuuhhh nils you know you live in the country with the best beer in the world???!?!!!!?!

[knell]

i've always wanted to try delirium stuff but it's always like $15 for a pint and a half, and has probably been sitting on the shelf for 3 years because of that

also nils you need to have a Trappist Westvleteren 12 and tell me what it's like... you have to... i hear it's the heaven of beers

[fairieswearboots]

London Pride - all day,

sadly one of the most expensive at the supermarket

[NilsFG]

One of my mates once had a Westvleteren, he said it isn't that good.
I'm not a big fan of trappisten though.

This is extremely true. They serve all the beer (including halves) in old man style panelled tankards, too. And you get people playing jazz on the piano from time to time.

Definitive sunday afternoon activity = go for a wander on the Heath then a pint at the Southampton Arms.
