    The official (unofficial) beer thread.

    For a forum that needs to use brains cells, I guess a beer thread is pretty useless, but anyway.

    So what does everyone like to drink?

    Since I live in Japan , I drink mainly these beers,





    Edit: Misspelling is allowed due to intoxication.
    Be fore warned, I regularly post drunk. So don't take offence (too much) to what I say.
    I am the real 'Napster'
    The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Ships? motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see. And then, one day...

    I like the really dark red beer from St. James' Gate.

    Did you misread the title of this subforum ?
    You forgot to post the other 3 tins you emptied before starting this thread...?

    Re: The official (unofficial) beer thread.

    @JapanDave, I've had Asahi given to me by a Japanese student here in Winnipeg and it wasn't too shabby although it was the Clear Asahi. I found it a little weak tasting though. My beer of choice is Alexander Keiths India Pale Ale.

    I just used the Googles to check out St. James' Gate and a whole whack of them little Irish pubs are across Canada, except for where I live. Alexander Keiths has a red beer that I haven't yet tried. I've had a dark malt ale that totally sucked when it was cold. I drank that sucker but it took me an hour and a half to do so and it got better tasting as it warmed. I found that odd but I was told that's how dark malts are best drank. Personally, I like ice cold beer. I've got 5 left at home just waiting for me to get there from work. I can almost taste them.

    I came across this one in the university bar a year or so back; I really enjoyed it!

    Re: The official (unofficial) beer thread.

    JapanDave,

    I will be moving to Sapporo, Japan in a few months. I'll be there for a year. Do you recommend Sapporo beer? I've heard there is a beer festival in Sapporo, have you been?

    ---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

    I second that Fat Tire is a great beer. One of my personal favorites is from a brewery near me. It is Dragonmead's "Ring of Fire". It is a spicy pepper bear. Dragonmead is a microbrewery that has something like 50 beers of their own beers on tap!

    15% where would I find such delights? The closest we can (commonly) get in England is:


    Which (for good reason) is only generally drunk on street corners. For a review of this golden delight, have a look here:

    That is obviously an American poll, a huge over-pre-ponderance of American beers. We all know the big name US brands are dishwater, but generally I don't particularly like the beers from US micro breweries, they try too hard and add too many flavours to them that have the net effect of detracting from the beer. And where is Jaipur IPA in the list?

    And Leffe Brune - yes, nice. I am going to Antwerp next month, nothing like drinking Leffe, Chimay and Duvel on home soil.
