I enjoyed many pints of it in Luzerne in Switzerland one night. :) Among my favourites are also Theakstons, Old Speckled Hen and Dogs Bollocks in that order. We do some great beers. Nothing like them in Europe.

Allow me to add Black sheep, Trooper and John Bull to your list. But only when from the tap. In no particular order, it depends on my mood.

Can't argue with that -- but English beers go for full flavour without overdoing the alcohol content, so you can enjoy more of it, before reposing 'neath the mensa.

X| X| X| Hertog Jan and some of the winter goats are palatable, but the dubbel & trippel beers (which have the best flavour) really rot your gut.

Thank god everybody has your taste and only loves the beers you love... X| Oh my why do you guys always argue who got the best beer? Everyone has a different taste and the brits love their ale, the germans drink the wheatbeer and pilsener (okay north germans prefer lager), the belgians have their glorious triple hop. Arguing with Heineken is like you would say budweiser is the only US beer (which indeed is piss). And btw, if you can't handle the alc of a real beer (4,8%-5,4%) or a strong one (8,9%-13,X% ?) then just stop drinking.

The name's Mark, not Dave. If you only drink to get drunk, there are plenty of flavourless vodkas and rice wines.

I was not only talking about Heineken, i guess nobody actually likes it (I don't like it) and i wasn't referring to getting drunk (it's hard to achieve with beer) asap but being able to drink some pints before you go black, actually if you take the Oktoberfest as a comparison most of the guys that dropped out pushed in 5-7 Maß. And a Beer with roughly 2,6% is a "Radler" (half a beer, the drivers drink in Germany).

One of the nice things about living close to the German border is that I can hire a car here, leave it there, and take the train back. Getting hammered at your local is easy, but a really good p1ss up requires proper, military planning!

Undrinkable sugar-water, IMO. They add fruit flavours to it in NL, in an effort to make it drinkable as a soft drink, but it doesn't work.

Coming from a country that is proud of its marmite, I'd prefer not to meet the 'pint'.

Never met one, but I promise to taste everything you send my way :-\

One of the best beers in the world, from London? I wouldn't place the English anywhere near the top 500 X| :~ If you want to taste the best beers in the world, you come to Limburg; you'd be tasting Belgium beers in Belgium, German beers during Octoberfest, Dutch beer during Carnaval.

They arent lagers though, and I have a VERY big place in my stomach for Stella, brewed in Leuven, many a night I have enjoyed a dre en dirtije of Stella! :) UK beers are flatter, less gassy, brewed naturally, and when the vat is opened, it is open to the air, and has to be drunk ini three days. It is a very old, and natural beer. Not at all like a lager: British real ale - Google Search[^]

You can't get a decent beer there, not for love nor money.

Stone Double Bastard. If you can't hang, that's fine; and expected.

Nor coffee, strangely enough. In fact - nor tea either. I'm guessing those guys threw the tea in Boston harbour that time because they thought that was how it should be brewed.

I've been spoiled with tea, because I have access to super-duper high-quality Chinese teas, at a fraction of the normal prices. With coffee, though, I'll drink any old muck, as long as it's not decaf.

You'd probably like Black sheep[^]. The brewery was founded by Paul Theakston (Yes, that one) The beers are less mainstream than Theakstons, but without going extreme or ridiculous.

I can't at work >.> It will break the weak. It will see them driven before it, and it will hear the lamentations of the women. Is that a better review?

I am not sure if I ever tried it, if I did it was along time back, but its not one I drink today, so if I did, I didnt like it. :)

I can recommend a tour at the brewery if you ever get to northern Yorkshire.
