Floyd Tatum Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I'm good for a round or two - and I don't care what brand you all drink or whether you like it hot or cold. Folks on this forum rock. Is There Gas in the Car? Yes there's gas in the car! Thanks Tom, I'll have one or three of these - (surprised no one mentioned it yet) http://mrops.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/16/guinness-and-the-t-test/GuinnessBeer.jpg I agree with JustDan, Pilsner Urquell is also a damn fine beer. Heineken's not bad either. I like to call it 'the original imported beer'. When I were a young lad, an apprentice beer drinker, in those days, it seemed most bars had Heineken, even if they had no other imported beers. This is from the point of view of a Canadian, back in the 60's and 70's. Here's another thing about beer. When I was 15, my mom died, and my dad took me and sister back to Wolverhampton, England, where I was born. I got to experience English beer in pubs. Thas was a fantastic, memorable experience. They were very liberal over there in those days with regards to drinking. I could buy beer in pubs or take-aways, unaccompanied by an adult, even though I was only 15. I don't even know what the legal drinking age was. Maybe they were dazzled by my brazen confidence Which does go a long way in general, I've found. I can't remember the brand names of the pub beer I drank, but I usually preferred 'bitter'. Over there, you can usually get either a 'mild' or a 'bitter' version of each brand of draught beer in a pub. At least, back then you could. The bitter wasn't really bitter, it was just stronger-tasting than the mild. They also used to make a gross drink called 'shandy', which was beer mixed with a soft drink, usually ginger ale or 7-Up. That was popular with women. I've heard that the mild/bitter thing is dying out. If that's true, then it's a shame. The beer wasn't ice-cold, it was just a few degrees below room temperature. And it didn't fizz much. But it tasted fantastic. I'd love to go back there and try it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marzzz Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Late 2010 I spent two weeks in London. Completely ruined me for any type of American beer. A trip to Germany and Eastern Europe is coming up, this should be interesting, beer-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Mike Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Ahh Guinness Draught - Nectar of the Gods. In the late 90's I spent a week in Dublin for a business conference. A colleague and I arrived in the morning from an overnight flight. We checked into the hotel, had a quick breakfast and headed immediately over to the Guinness Hop Store for a tour. At the end of the tour, you are dropped into their little sampler pub where you get to enjoy the tasty treats. This was at 10:00 AM. It was the perfect day. It seemed to me in Dublin that they run the Guinness supply lines parallel to the water supply since it looked like there was a Guinness tap almost everywhere there was water. What a wonderful experience. I also learned about Smithwick's at the time as well, since it was not available in the States at that time. My company has a training facility connected to a hotel with a bar. When I used to teach there we would (naturally) spend our evenings in the bar. The bartender was an older Irish gentlemen. All you ever needed to order was a pint of "Mother's Milk". Boy those were the days. I really wish they would bring Kilkenny to the States. I had that in Paris, and it's also a wonderful brew. .

MAJUSCULE Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 They don't have Kilkenny in the States?! What a shame. I was in Copenhagen, Berlin, Prague and Vienna earlier this summer. Those are some beer cities. Mikkeler, Franziskaner, Pilsner Urquell and much, much more. Omnomnom. Around here, I drink a lot of Big Rock, Alley Kat, Wild Rose, Granville Island, Unibroue, Dieu Du Ciel, Mill Street, Creemore Springs and Steam Whistle. I visited Steam Whistle's brewery last year, very cool. Had a beer pulled straight off the line, date-stamped not three minutes prior. It was a beautiful feeling.

In college decades ago I had an acquaintance from Manchester who used to talk up the "real ale" of his part of the world, and I recognized many of the names on the tap.

MAJUSCULE Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Dogfish is one of my faves. I visited their brewery in Delaware last year. Great tour and tasty samples as well. Also, their pub at Rehoboth Beach, DE serves excellent food plus they also produce some unique brews in small batches onsite.
