ASF Beer Appreciation thread

I generally find that one beer is never enough, I always have a second.

Therefore I would like to nominate 2 great beers.

Guinness Stout from Ireland.

Windhoek Lager from Namibia.

Enjoy

Yeah tried Leffe... didn't really like it. But haven't tried that many English Ales yet... I'll give the Taylors one a shot.

Cheers

Report back when/if the hangover abades...

Report back when/if the hangover abades...

I couldn't find the Taylors so I took a punt and bought some Badger Pumpkin Ale http://www.hall-woodhouse.co.uk/beers/badgerales/pumpkin.asp

I usually prefer lager styles rather than warm ales but tried it for a laugh not expecting to be impressed.

It was actually very bloody nice and will definitely go it again.

I bought some 1664 as an emergency ration, in case the Badgers was awful... I drunk that as well.

There's a big conference of beer producers. At the end of the day, the presidents of all beer companies decide to have a drink in a bar.

The president of 'Budweiser' orders a Bud, the president of 'Miller' orders a Miller Lite, Adolph Coors orders a Coors, and the list goes on. Then the waitress asks Arthur Guinness what he wants to drink, and much to everybody's amazement, Mr. Guinness orders a Coke!

"Why don't you order a Guinness?" his colleagues ask.

"Naah. If you guys won't drink beer, then neither will I."

Nash - I only drink a Guinness now and again - but it's a great excuse to slow down and enjoy life - slow down and smell the bozos as they say.

all those lill bubbles that musn't be bruised...
both a drink and some occupational therapy ..
definitely value for money .. (if you have any money that is)

And ideally with a shamrock in the froth

Here's a typical bookshelf in one of the son's rooms
you build em a book case so they'll read some books! sheesh ....

Think I've already mentioned this, but I think it's true (? lol) that he had a couple of beers with his mates at the pub before he was 18 - and then he had a party for his 18th - so the publican asked casually "what's the party?"

he said "I'm 18 - I can drink legally!" big smile -
publican says, "so you've been drinking underage? " -
he says "err yep" -
"guess what" sez the publican, "you're banned for 6 months !"
Not a good start lol.

..so I took a punt and bought some Badger Pumpkin Ale .....

wayne
lemme guess,
they call it Pumpkin Ale because at midnight, you turn orange, and your brains turn into pumpkin flesh or sompin (?)

Had Tusker in Vanuatu.

Nothing to rave about, but twas the local brew so had to try it.

Also went to a tiny micro brewery in Numea which had an awesome 'blonde' beer. Not available commercially but very nice, with roasted hops.

 

[prawn_86]

MMM, homemade beer battered fresh fish. Used James Squire Amber Ale to get the batter a nice deep golden colour and give it a subtle beer taste

 

[Garpal Gumnut]

Guinness is my number one.

But have any of you gals or guys ever had Windhoek

Its from Namibia in southern Africa and the lager to beat all lagers IMO.

Ditto on the Guinness GG, but very hard to find a decent pint down under.

As for Windhoek .. love it
