Well it's not actually warm; it's just not chilled. I say when in a country drink what they do best; in belgium or Germany I'd almost always drink lager; over here all the lager's liked chilled pee (peed under license) so I drink something with some real flavour - Guinness or some sort of bitter/ale. I don't think any kind of beer connoisseur would ever accept that any English lagers are better than ales; although to be fair, they are twats.

I missed your Leffe comments, definitely good stuff. THough I prefer the brown to the blond. Stella (Belgian stella, not the licensed stuff over here) is fine but it's not really pretending to be anything special.

I was shocked to see that Pabst Blue Ribbon failed to make this list. What a joke.

I've just remembered a beer I sampled in a restaurant in Prague a couple of months ago.

It was a bottled dark beer, made by Hoegaarden, called Forbidden Fruit. About 9% strength and absolutely gorgeous stuff.

I cant drink lager on tap fromm a pub.

I would say Necastle Brown was an OK tipple. I find most real ales preferable and bottles of newcastle are a fall back if I find myself in a pub with no decent ales or that keep there ales baddly.

I would have to say the best thing i have ever drunk is Guiness in Ireland. This stuff does not travel or the brewery in temple gate London (which is closeing down) must be useing a different recipe because I dont like the stuff to much in the UK.

If you;'re ever in London go to Quinn's in Kentish Town (two mins walk from Camden Town tube station). The Guinness there is lovely. Last time I was in Dublin I didn;t notive it being massively better. Who knows why.

excellent picks, you forgot Redhook ESB though and anything from Widmer.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm with ya on Widmer. But I haven't been a Redhook fan since they sold out to Miller. I don't think their beers have been the same since then.

I would also say that anything from the McMenamin's pubs is also great. The Fish Tale Ale's pub here in Olympia also has some great beers, and a really superb ESB.
