this evening i picked myself up a bottle of bishops finger ale, a bottle of chocolate stout, a bottle of old jock ale, and a bottle of st peters creamy stout

goin down a storm. the bishops finger is probably the most approachable of them, but this old jock is so fucking good NOM. the other two are a bit like nigerian (export) guinness, relatively flat and quite strong. the chocolate stout is so good, like liquid malty alcoholc green&blacks chocolate. again NOM. the st peters i always get when splashin out on nice beers, it's a purist's stout through and through.

recommend nice beer here. no budweiser, heineken, dutch gold, tuborg (although tuborg is well nice) plz.

If you want a good lager, get Boags. So so nice. crisp and smooth.

Spaten is good


Leffe is a lovely belgian ale..for beer lovers only though!

hoegarden also pictured deserves a mention

Huber brau from austria is sooo good...not widely available... brewed locally in the alps...mountain fresh..probably my favourite beer ever

<3

i love hoegarden, the after taste is beautiful

Love Hoegaarden Grand Cru -it's a little bit stronger than the plain.
Also, love the Boon Framboise - it's made with raspberries mmmm, they also have cherry!
And finally, Delirium Tremens- it quite strong and packaged beautifully!

atm my favourite is:

i'm happy enough staying simple with Carlsberg, especially after seeing a crate of 20 bottles for €13 in Swords, in the Carry Out

^^ very nice



^^ very, very nice.

both usually available in the Vinyard off licence, ormeau road.

Spose i'll keep it to beers accessible in dublin.

Westmalle Dubbel, Tripel Karmeliet, Rochefort Trappistes 8/10, Orval, Hoegaarden, Chimay red/white/blue, Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier (still found in some offies), and trying a Girardin lambic at least once is worth a shot. I had some Schneider Aventinus in Berlin, which was nice and might also be in the Porterhouse.

Best of the lot would have to be the rather pricey Rochefort's in the Porterhouse (~€7/330ml).



I have their christmas brew (Delerium Noel) glass. It's loverly.

...

Mojo likes beer and cars. Seriously whopper catch.

mmmm duvel

those ales knocked the sh*t out of me. i went upstairs at 9pm and woke up at 1am fully clothed, without even cracking open the buckfast

the upside is i slept for 15 hours. man i feel refreshed

I had a chocolate ale in a place in south glasgow that brew their own beers. It didn't taste very chocolatey though.

they do a chocolate one in the bierhaus iirc, never had it though

Tesco do a decent own brand wheat beer.
