Smiley Culture Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 I’m sure there was a thread for beer somewhere. Got one of those Beer52 boxes the other month on offer for £5.95 and got eight beers, a bag of nuts and a magazine. Never really been into ales or craft beers but I thought I’d give them a go and I really enjoyed them. What do we all drink?
Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted November 25, 2020 Subscriber Posted November 25, 2020 I think i might try one of those boxes, keep getting advertised them. This has been my favourite choice of beer for a while now.
Administrator Stan Posted November 25, 2020 Administrator Posted November 25, 2020 San Miguel Peroni Kronenbourg Heineken Camden Hells Sol Amstel Corona Kingfisher Cobra Tiger They'd be my preferred beers or ones that I'd regularly enjoy. If I'm in a bar/pub I'd always want to go for whatever's on tap. I can't remember where I had it but I had a Samuel Adams Fresh as Helles somewhere and it was delightful. Never come across it again though. Not sure if anyone has a Brewhouse & Kitchen near them (if in UK) but I like some beers from there, too - Krombacher and Asahi especially. Also like some blonde beers - Duvel, Leffe, La Chouffe Soleil are quite nice but don't have them as regularly.

nudge Posted November 26, 2020 Posted November 26, 2020 I always have some generic inoffensive lager like Carlsberg in the fridge, but otherwise I like to mix it up. My current favourite is Weisser Hirsch.
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted November 26, 2020 Subscriber Posted November 26, 2020 All the generic brands and then some that we get only here. Kingfisher Premium Kings BIRA options I live about two blocks away from a micro-brewery so we hit it quite when we can and drink whatever they are doing for the month. Last month there was an abomination of pumpkin flavored beer and this month its back down to earth with a nice stout that has local ingredients from some nearby estates.
Lucas Posted November 26, 2020 Posted November 26, 2020 Really into my Moretti to be totally honest. Lovely drop.
Administrator Stan Posted November 26, 2020 Administrator Posted November 26, 2020 Fuck how did I forget Birra Moretti. I don't deserve to drink it. Good shout @Lucas.
Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted November 27, 2020 Subscriber Posted November 27, 2020 This thread totally reminded me about that bud @nudge Couple of my favourites are Guiness and Innis and Gunn. We have some great craft beer options here as that took off probably 5 years ago or so. For that Id hands down take Dark matter: has the substance of a dark beer but its an easy and great drinker. Also for summertime this has been my go to craft for a couple years now, I do love a good hefeweizen as well.

If it's any consolation, it tasted good though That Dark Matter beer looks good, a dark one but only 5.3% sounds nice. I really like dark beers, but many of them are just too heavy for me to enjoy more than one.

I just love drinking something with substance but after a couple Guiness Ive had several meals. I can drink several of these no problem! they actually expanded into our gov't liquor stores last year too so easily available now! once things straighten out if you have a stable address I could defnitely mail you one!

Yay, a beer exchange! Do you have Köstritzer Bier available in Canada? It's my usual choice when I want a Schwarzbier that is not heavy, tastes goods, and is easily available...

Toinho Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 Stan’s list is boring and commercial! corona should never be on anyone’s list. It’s beer for those who don’t like beer or using taste buds. Having said that I don’t mind a peroni, moretti, etc but I’m mostly about the craft beers. Loads of great aussie pale ales/IPA’s floating about at the moment. Lots of good West Aussie stuff and some good breweries over NSW way too.

I'm just surprised it took 2 days for someone to slate it to be honest the following on your list I’ve gone for as preferred beers: San Miguel Peroni Kronenbourg Heineken I first discovered Kronenbourg in London. Decent.
nudge Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 Corona is a shitty beer to drink on its own, but it goes amazingly well with certain foods, and is very refreshing on a hot summer day. Throw a slice of lime in it, perfect. Just don't consider it a beer, it's more in line with radler or shandy and the likes.
Danny Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 I’ve got beer 52 and whilst there are some nice beers, it’s a lot of meh and a lot of craft pale ale type beers that all taste the same. Guinness is my drink, don’t often deviate from it. But brands that stand out that I’d go for are: Bierra Moretti Estrella One Fifty Lashes Little Creatures Camden Pale Ale Meantime Pale Ale I’ll be honest though a lot of the craft ales that come through now taste the same and aren’t really proper drinks you’d want on a session, but good for a quiet drink or to start with

But I’ve gone off them a bit. Coopers have some good stuff(not WA brewers though boo), feral brewery, and some down in Margaret River way if you went there!

I have to throw VB in as well but mainly just for the shape of the bottle lol Ive found Little Creatures here, not in pubs but in supermarkets. Nice little treat every now and then
