Anyways, here drinking a Boddingtons Pub Ale. Great British beer. Very very fucking smooth.

Discuss your favorites. Let's get drunk.

Yes, this make beer thread 3 but the others a Gville specific.

I tried Boddingtons' once but didn't really like it so it just sat in my fridge till The Fest where it was quickly taken by people who appreciate beer more than myself I guess

I keep thinking that one of these days I should pull out the list I used to keep of all the beers I've had, and try to update it. But there were almost 200 beers on the list back when I stopped keeping it, and I've probably had almost 200 more since then. So I doubt I can remember them all.

You should seriously consider doing a beer blog!

definitly hadn't as much but quiete some as well... a great day was when westboud train came back from tour and said we have a present for the office and it was two cases of beer with probably 30 different types of beer as they took some every night of their tour

I realized my favorite beers to drink are wheat. And then one day after having about 8, I started to break out in hives. I didn't get why. So a few weekends after, I had more wheat beer and broke out again. I now realize that I am allergic. Stupid Asian genes for being allergic to alcohol.

Beers of choice before hives:
Blue Moons
Paulaner Hefe-Weissbier Naturtrüb

allergic to wheat beer? I have a lot of allergies but as a bavarian that would be the biggest nightmare I could habve.. and the naturtrüb is really good from paulaner.. I really dig Czech Republic, especially Staropramen and Pilsner Urquell ... and there area lot of regional breweries that have really good ones ...

I'm also allergic to vodka and lactose sensitive. It's pretty great and by great, I mean shitty.

Why can't i ever find Belhaven Scottish Ale anymore. If you've never tried it, and you see it at the store, pick it up. If you drink it and don't think it's in the top ten of beers you've ever had, i'll refund you your money.

I used to get that on tap at one restaurant in Jacksonville. I think they have bottles of it in Gainesville.

I wouldn't put it in my top ten, but it is really good.

My next batch of homebrew is going to be a Scotch Ale (which is a type of Scottish beer style, but more specific than just "scottish ale'). Sometimes known as a "wee heavy" or a "90 shilling"

Guys, if you like your ales, you should try hobgoblin, its fucking delish, as is doombar, i think they all made by dartmoor ales, its all quite local to where i'm from, so i don't know how available they'd be be over there

edit, heres the brewery http://www.wychwood.co.uk/landingpage.html

Hobgolin ws pretty popular when I lived in jacksonville, and I've seen it a few places in Gainesville too. It's good, but a tad bit on the sweet side for my taste. I really dig Fiddler's Elbow, from the same brewery, and their Bah Humbug is pretty good too.

hobgoblins got a chocolatey taste, i like it, bah humbug is nice, not had fiddlers elbow though
i'm glad you can get them over there, thought they might be too local

i went to a german restaurant over the weekend and had a kostricter (sp?). that was really tasty. i thought it was pronounced "ker-striker", but the dude corrected me, and i can't remember the proper pronunciation.

fugg yeah to that beer.
