Beer with cigars

[Lascaux]

who knows, i especially find it with beers on tap but even bottles just dont have the same quality of taste. i often see erdinger on tap in pubs and am tempted but its not a patch on beer on the continent.

i go climbing mountains in austria and at the top of many of them you'll find a little guesthouse that does home-made food, and copious amounts of beer and obstler. that first pint of weissen at the top of a 1700m mountain in the blazing sun... its to die for. of course the beer tastes better there than here after a walk round the park or down to the shops


a lot of drinks dont really work well in other countries, fell in love with limoncillo in madrid, bought a bottle back and it tasted like cats pee over here in rainy britain.

amen, paulaner do my favourite pilsner in the world, but it always tastes better over there!
(same with a lot of german beers to me, especially the wheat beers)

Yeh, why is that ??

that could well be, it was definitely a rauchbier.

there used to be a great pub in croydon called the beer circus, huge seleciton of german and trapiste beers. sadly they turned it into a cocktail bar, thus came the final nail in the croydon coffin

surely the final nail was when Kate Moss left Joe?

as a massive real ale fanatic i could probably give you quite a list but a little advice i could give as im not sure you have a morrisions as a local supermarket, nothing beats the draught pumps, but as a supermarket in my neck of the woods they do a cracking range of real ales, german and belgium beers and have recently started to give a short brief profile on every beer on the shelf so before you buy you get an idea of what your buying as opposed to what the bottle says.

that actually reminds me of a bacon smoked german beer i tried once.
overpoweringly strong taste of bacon. made me want to wretch... but maybe a good hair of the dog, cutting out the need for a fry-up

second st austels tribute too, and jennings cumberland is another current fave

Jennings is my favourite brewery! I'm sure I've previously posted this pic of me pulling pints at the brewery, but will do so again... (Apologies for the sinister grin... )



Cumberland Ale has to be the best beer that there is. Only to be drunk from a pump however - they changed the brew for the bottled version and it's nothing like the proper stuff (stronger, less flavour, fizzier - bloody supermarkets )... I also love Sneck Lifter, what a great winter beer, I've got a couple of packs at home . The Dark Mild is a great mild, but I've never seen it outside of a Jennings pub... Another of my favourites is Golden Host, previously an April guest ale, it proved so popular that they have now started producing it more regularly (as an Organic beer, I'm interested to taste the difference, it's on at the local, so will be giving it a try tonight ).

Anyway, enough of the Jennings love-in.
