I guess you won't count lambics, then.

what, the pentameters?

― d.arraghmac, Saturday, 23 October 2004 04:16 (nineteen years ago) link

some of my favorites...

la fin du monde (canadian), negra modelo (mexican), pilsner urquell (czech), leffe (belgian), aventinus (german), mt. tam pale ale (u.s.)

― metfigga (metfigga), Saturday, 23 October 2004 04:29 (nineteen years ago) link

leffe owns. I didn't search, but I think I may have said that before on this very thread.

― Lifted, or, the story is 'neath my ass (kenan), Saturday, 23 October 2004 04:46 (nineteen years ago) link

and OMG negro modelo. It's 9 dollars a six pack here, and about 5 in texas. This is one of the few reasons I am sad I moved.

(because it's certianly not the 32oz. Miller High Life I'm drinking)

― Remy (x Jeremy), Saturday, 23 October 2004 04:48 (nineteen years ago) link

guinness. but i rarely drink it.

― youn, Saturday, 23 October 2004 05:12 (nineteen years ago) link

five months pass...

erdinger. mmmmmmmmmm
hoegaarden. mmmmmmmmmmmm more.

i prefer Leffe to both of those right now, tho it addles the head like nobody's business.

NEW GLARUS--SPOTTED COW. TASTY!

― smithwick, Sunday, 24 July 2005 04:19 (eighteen years ago) link

Chimay may be the best beer, but that's not an everyday beer. When I'm out at a bar and want to savor what I'm drinking instead of just getting drunk on countless rounds of $2 PBRs, I'll usually get something like an Anchor Steam or a Sierra Nevada.

― jaymc (jaymc), Sunday, 24 July 2005 04:26 (eighteen years ago) link

Wait, did I mean Leffe when I said Chimay? One of the two, I can't remember.

― jaymc (jaymc), Sunday, 24 July 2005 04:28 (eighteen years ago) link

Whoa, this thread was actually started on June 27, 2001.

― jaymc (jaymc), Sunday, 24 July 2005 04:28 (eighteen years ago) link

Hi J. Guess who? What's so special about that date?

― smithwick, Sunday, 24 July 2005 04:30 (eighteen years ago) link

There was a time warp a couple days ago, and all current posts were listed with that date.

― jaymc (jaymc), Sunday, 24 July 2005 04:31 (eighteen years ago) link

Yes.

That's odd.

So, did you check out your prizes yet?

― smithwick, Sunday, 24 July 2005 04:34 (eighteen years ago) link

No, unfortunately! I accidentally left them in my keyboard case, which is at C's house right now. It's too bad, because I was talking to someone about Seefeel last night.

― jaymc (jaymc), Sunday, 24 July 2005 04:43 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh no! You're missing out. And now Nate just threw on Wish You Were Here, so I miss be going. But next time you guys are up here, I'll buy you a SPOTTED COW. TASTY!

― smithwick, Sunday, 24 July 2005 04:51 (eighteen years ago) link

Electric sound of jim OTM, Coopers owns. All who don't drink it have my sympathy. Sparkling, Stout, even Pale, it's all godly

Recommended: Columbus, from independent Amsterdam brewers 't IJ , strong Belgian-type ale, fruity, doesn't taste like a 9% beer.

― stevo (stevo), Sunday, 24 July 2005 07:27 (eighteen years ago) link

mmm. all highly, highly recommended.

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Sunday, 24 July 2005 07:36 (eighteen years ago) link

oops. the first of those should be a. a smaller picture and b. pulled from the barrel.

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Sunday, 24 July 2005 07:36 (eighteen years ago) link

A friend is responsible for the Leffe ads in the Benelux (Belgium/Netherland/Luxem.) if I recall correctly. One night he showed us the ads of the last couple of years.

Spaten Optimator!

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Sunday, 24 July 2005 17:22 (eighteen years ago) link

Liefmans Kriek is too sweet. The sourness of Drij Fontienen is far superior.

― Ed (dali), Sunday, 24 July 2005 17:23 (eighteen years ago) link

I can get enough of this stuff at the moment:

A fine beer, top notch, beautiful summer drink.

― Ed (dali), Sunday, 24 July 2005 20:13 (eighteen years ago) link

This is actually great.

I pretty much refuse to drink American beer unless I absolutely have to.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Sunday, 24 July 2005 22:24 (eighteen years ago) link

i like rickards red.

― La Monte (La Monte), Sunday, 24 July 2005 22:25 (eighteen years ago) link

Lager: Pilsner Urquell/Budvar/Krucovive Imperial, Shehalion

Ale: Bitter & Twisted, Deuchars IPA

Stout: Guiness (what else?)

― Stew (stew s), Monday, 25 July 2005 01:08 (eighteen years ago) link

>Stout: Guiness (what else?)

Almost anything else. (St. Ambroise, Rogue, etc.)

― mjfan, Monday, 25 July 2005 09:44 (eighteen years ago) link

Hey Dave B, have you moved to Brighton yet?

If so, you MUST go to The Evening Star on Surrey Street (Near Brighton station) and sample the Dark Star beers, they are superb.

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Monday, 25 July 2005 12:39 (eighteen years ago) link

I will definitively be able to tell you on Monday as i have been selected as a judge for the CAMRA Champion Bottled Beer of Britain competition.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 11:52 (eighteen years ago) link

Really? Doesn't sound like a bad job!

If so, you MUST go to The Evening Star on Surrey Street (Near Brighton station) and sample the Dark Star beers, they are superb.

Matt, WE must go to the Evening Star on Surrey Street to sample the Dark Star beers soonish, methinks.

(Where is the love for Fursty Ferret?)

― NickB (NickB), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 12:06 (eighteen years ago) link

wow ed, how?

i'm quite into judas at the moment. also i just realised that i didn't have any beer in the fridge, and to my horror found that i only have one bottle in the whole house. this must be rectified.

― toby (tsg20), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 12:42 (eighteen years ago) link

Prefer Badger Golden Glory.

― It Is What A Man Does Which Demeans Him, Not What Is Done To Him (kate), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 12:44 (eighteen years ago) link

I emailed in response for a request for judges in saturday's guardian.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 12:54 (eighteen years ago) link

I have only one beer left in the fridge, and it is something CHERRY FLAVOURED bought for me as a gift. Mmmm, not sure I'm in a rush to open that one...

― NickB (NickB), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 12:56 (eighteen years ago) link

I am so enviou of Ed, my extremities have gone green.

― RickyT (RickyT), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 12:57 (eighteen years ago) link

BADGER GOLDEN GLORY! another fan? i thought i was the only one!

― charltonlido (gareth), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 12:57 (eighteen years ago) link

Some lo-carb Michelob is left in my fridge after having people over a few weeks ago. *screws up nose*

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 13:50 (eighteen years ago) link

Ha ha, and ILX scoffs at the Guardian, but it has its uses!

Gareth, I *love* the Badger Golden Glory. I've been drinking it all summer - that slight taste of peaches... yum! (My bandmates reckon it sounds like a Final Fantasy song title, but it is indeed glorious.)

― It Is What A Man Does Which Demeans Him, Not What Is Done To Him (kate), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 13:52 (eighteen years ago) link

Talking of Badger stuff, Blandford Fly (the gingerish one) is lovely for the first bottle or so, after that, errrr...

― NickB (NickB), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 13:58 (eighteen years ago) link

Badger beer reminds me of Southbourne beach and milkshakes at the Castle Cafe in Highcliffe and Tucktonia.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 14:02 (eighteen years ago) link

As FreakyTrigger are in a CAMRA baiting mood, this is great to watch how the insiders do it. You must spill all Ed.
(Not the beer. Don't spill the beer).

― Pete (Pete), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 14:13 (eighteen years ago) link

Yes Nick, we must - possibly sometime this weekend - like Saturday - or is that too soon?

Would any other ILXors care to come too?

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 14:16 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh my god, all this talk has made me order a Fursty Ferret t-shirt. Or maybe it was the fact that it was only six quid. O evil internet thingy, I curse you. Beer clothes... my sartorial stock has plumbed woeful new depths, even for me.

oops x-post: Saturday... maybe! Will have to check what's what with her what knows.

― NickB (NickB), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 14:18 (eighteen years ago) link

You've got my number!

It's also my birthday next weekend (7th August) so I may be spening a good proportion of my time in The Evening Star, amongst other things (such as Pride)
