Default Re: Name three beers worth trying.

Has been mentioned already but King of Beer (not lager or the other stuff you americans call beer) has to be Bottles of Newcastle Brown Ale (or Dog as its known locally, as guys would tell the missus were taking the dog for a walk when in fact they were going to the pub for a quick bottle). It has rarely been served on tap only time I have ever seen it was when I was in the States in a bar in San Dieago. When away from home (I am form near Newcastle) it tends to be what I drink as it always will remind me of home. As an aside my freinds mam who was a nurse said not to drink it as a Ward at the local hospital was full of alcoholics all of whom drank brown ale.

Someone mentioned Mqewans one you were missing was Mqewans export but have to say its not the best.

Other good English Beers have to be Theakstons Best (although has gone downhill recently) and the Timmy Taylor brand. Lots of other good beers as smaller breweries are trying to fight back against the corporates.

Best other countries beer has to be either of the Leffe beers from belgium, the Blond in Particular is worthwhile getting a hold of.

Stella has been mentioned but personally I think its overated. One beer to try (probably just once) is special brew.

We also get cider over here generally are about the same strength as beer but I have been to beer festivals where you get a pint as normal but it is 20% strength. Good days have been had at the festivals (apparently memory tends to go).
