Re: Favourite Beers
Larger is derived from IPA (indian pale ALE )Thats why it goe's so well with a curry .
When we lived in france we tried many local brews one called pelforth which came in brune amber and blonde ,all very nice ,but I've always been a sucker for blondes.
I keep trying so called real ale's , some are ok , but there is many a bucket of foul tasting ditch water , that seems to have a involentary effect in my facial and neck muscles ,as tho i've just hit my genitals with a hammer in front of the mother in law and am unable to swear.

Re: Favourite Beers
Hello Lowride stepside,
lager is different to IPA or any other pale ale for that matter. Lager (which means store) was brewed quite cold and then stored for some time, it uses a bottom fermenting yeast as opposed to our beers which use a top fermenting yeast. IPA was brewed quite strong and was very well hopped so it would last the boat journey to India for our troops.
You may encounter bad 'real ales, i.e. ones that are off if the landlord either does not look after his beer or is negligent in the line cleaning (this also applies to keg beer). This is the reason that keg beer was introduced as it is much easier to look after. Unfortunately this process kills off a lot of the things that give the beer flavour, coupled with mass production with the cheapest materials possible (Pale malt gives pale beers with little flavour).
You pay your money and make your choice, but it's worth knowing something about what you are drinking

Re: Favourite Beers
Excellent post Alec.
It is nice to see proper beer making a return now. The days of keg only pubs seem to finally be on the way out.

Conversely, the worst pint of bilge-water I ever drank was Staropramen. Yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk. No surprise that on a student night out one of my friends who reckoned that this was 'a good downing pint' failed miserably in a contest.

Hmm. I'll have a look for it but it might turn out to be a wild goose chase.

Re: Favourite Beers
Peroni It's like the champagne of beer
Champagne is crap wine grown in poor soil with sugar added for the second fermentation but thats exspensive and tastes good too .
So how much do you pay for a pint of old fart ? + the cost of a pickled egg to numb yr taste buds

Re: Favourite Beers
Hello Lowride Stepside,
"None of which are crisp or refreshing ",
which would indicate that you haven't tried very many if any, because that is simply totally false?

No such thing as Australian Fairy Tale.
English beer is warm. You call it room temperature.
Beer should be refreshing and as cold as possibe without turning to ice.
Cascade Premium.
From Tasmania. Made from pure H2O.
Ahhh...wish I could have one now.

Re: Favourite Beers
Hello Dave,
I have to correct you, English beer is not served at room temperature, it is stored and served at approximately 12 degrees Centigrade which is quite cooler than our rooms. Only Keg is served at infeasibly cold temperatures but neither are served warm.

Re: Favourite Beers
Hi Alec,
I've just got back from a visit to the mother country, (where I bought my pictured traveller), my lovely elderly aunt in Liverpool told me she had specially chilled some beer for me.....It was under the stairs!!! Not even in the fridge. . My cousin in Man....thought he was doing me a favour by storing it in the basement.
No beer has to be served around 3 degreesC

Re: Favourite Beers
Hello Dave,
that is a personal choice (and many do so chose I know), but no drink with flavour benefits from being served so cold, beer, wine, spirits or even tea?

I went Aussie in 1995 and everyone when we arrived said, we had warm beer. This was before we'd even tasted theirs. We'd go to barbeque's and they made an example of getting the beer out of the fridge and saying "we drink ours cool here". Me and the guy who I went with just didn't understand what they were on about as everywhere I go in the UK, even now with my wife and kids, the beer comes from the fridge. Perhaps it's a generation thing.
