From a true beer & roast beef and Yorkshire pudding love
Didn’t know thow to vote, “piss” sounds really appetising… 😕 Nothing like a drop of the amber fluid…
I do consider lager to be a real beer, but it’s not really to my taste. I prefer a dark, preferably draught. A nice ale or even a really dark one like stout. I generally prefer “English style” beers. Love a good bitter — have it with Stilton and I’m in pub paradise.
Also, I generally prefer beer from micro-breweries (we have some great, small local breweries) — pay a little more for a lot more taste … and I am a real beer lover, I drink it for the taste, not the effect (at least not so much).
My fave beer might be a Brit import called Theakston Old Peculiar (wonderful, but hard to get here). It’s a strong ale, very nice.
There is much variety when it comes to beers and the quality really varies — some lagers are much better than others, and on a hot summer day, a good one can be nice. Personally at those times I’ll go for a lighter ale.
Any favourite brands? Guiness (stout) is very good (and a huge company).
While in Australia I used to enjoy a wheat one called Redback. Fosters and XXXX are terrible. *gag* yobbo juice *gag*
Must be some wonderful ales in Yorkshire, in fact, is Masham where Theakston’s Peculiarr comes from in Yorkshire? Welcome by the way! 😀
