Do not like Fosters, they changed the taste when they started exporting it about 20 years agoCry



Honestly don't understand how anyone can drink VB, but each to their own.
It's like a disgusting lump going down your throat as you drink IMO, no subtlety to the texture at allThumbs Down

Today Micky and I went to DC and walked some 5 miles, then we sat down at our favourite haunt, Pizzeria Paradiso in Georgetown (a favourite of Pat's as wellWink), and had a pint each of Wells Bombardier. That was great indeed, and we'll be very glad to repeat the experience. Thanks to Jared for the recommendationThumbs Up

Hmmm - not sure what I'd drink actually

Let me check all the other 'beer' threads & get back to you

Oh - M&R - Bombardier is indeed a splendid pint If you get a chance to try their Bombardier Gold, go for it - luvverley

I am a Bitter man, always have been, always will be.
I tried Stout once, it was okay, I was in Ireland at the time, couldn't get anything else.
I drink Lager when needs must, like when trapped in a foreign clime with a thirst that need slaking, otherwise I'll avoid it.
 
If I can't see a Bitter worth drinking, I'll go for an Indian Pale Ale (a weaker form of Bitter) or a Porter, depending upon the time of year, wind direction and colour of my socks.
 
I haven't had a pint of Bomber since I moved from Bedfordshire 25 years ago, I usually drink the "local" beer where ever I am and avoid the national stuff.
 
Anyway, I took the Bombardier English Test (http://www.bombardier.co.uk/bombardier/fun/english-test/1?reset=true) and only achieved an English Quotient of 80% OuchConfused ... but when I looked at my results it just means I am a 100% Englishman who has 0% knowledge of sport.Thumbs Up

Love IPAs, so I suppose I'll vote bitter - though as with anything else there is such a thing as too much hops...just my threshold for such is higher than most Americans, I'd wager.

A somewhat trivial question, but a relevant one. In England, a so-called REAL pint of bitter should be hand pumped/drawn - so say CAMRA. However, here in Scotland, it's real if CO2 is used. What about the rest of the world?
I'm a Bitter man, usually keg stuff. I was weaned on Youngers Scotch Bitter in/around West Cumbria, but up here I try and get Youngers Tartan Special. Failing that, I tend to fall back on Belhaven, Miller or Coors. I occasionally go to any CAMRA events, and try anything, but I don't like anything too hoppy. Wheat beer is nice, and I did try a rare Belhaven Mild - only 2.9% ABV, but very tasty.

In the Netherlands no one seems to "look through a CAMRA eye". By the way, we don't use pints (they're specific British), but for our lager we use fluitjes (small flutes, about 20 cl) or Amsterdammertjes (a 25 cl glass). For other beers we use their own special glasses, mostly on a pedestal.

Bitter, stout and lager?

My choice would be normally between pilsener, Trappist, kriek and wheat beer. Which is logical, because I'm living in Belgium. It's nice to see that even supermarkets here have enormous quantities and choices in these beers.

Still, I do like the English and Irish beers on my holidays in Britain and my visits to Irish pubs. I prefer lager, but I like the other two also.
