Favourite beer

[Stix]

Since Im into home brewing using all grain methods and love drinking beer whats everyones favourite beers?
On a stinking hot day I love cold lagers such as Tooheys, Stella or Peroni. As for ales Stone and Wood pacific ale, James Squire golden ale or Fat Yak are up there I reckon. Im just about to brew a golden ale but the wife loves Aussie lagers like Tooheys and 4 x so thats whats in the fermenter now. Must keep the other half happy. Cheers.

I love a premium lager myself in a red can.

Free beer

Carlton dry n lime at the moment.

Really really cold beer (but no ice)

XXXX Gold.

Its like putting sanctions Queensland, remember Blues supporters, every can of gold you drink, is 1 less for a Queenslander!

Coopers Red, Coopers Extra Strong Vintage Ale. Four Pines Bitter, can only get this one on tap at their bar. Most pale ales or IPA's. Guiness in winter, Coopers Best Extra Stout.

Sadly now I am diabetic I generally stick with Pure Blond, because it is very low carb. I like pilsners like Pilsner Urquell or the original Budweiser Budvar from the Czech Republic. Nothing at all like the horrible American stuff with the same name.

I went to a mates place last Saturday, and he has a full brewing setup with two temperature controlled fermenters and beer on tap. He makes lager style beers that are outstanding.

No beer for me - Vodka (any sort any time)

I think this is going to be a looong thread though.

Never could stomach beer but nowadays don't mind a couple of XXXX,but then it's Vodka for me as well.Got a bottle of Belvedere here to crack open on a special occasion.

Yep, I drink far more gin (in the form of Martinis) than beer or even red wine these days. A Martini is potent and a zero carb drink.

American Poet Dorothy Parker once observed

I like to have a martini,
Two at the very most.
After three I'm under the table,
after four I'm under my host.

Bintang but its a long round trip to get a carton. Carona is pretty good but has to be icey

 

[HippyProspecting]

Not really a beer drinker. I dont mind a vodka now and again though.
I used to really enjoy the angry juice (bundy rum) but i had to knock that on the head

 

[Stix]

Yes Pilsener Urqell is very nice, a lager is perhaps the hardest beer to brew very subtle no room for error. A temp controller cost $20 bux on eBay and is a must have for fermenting different yeasts at preferred temps, simply plugged into a fridge as you say DRDuck. Cheers

 

[HammaH]

On tap - Tooheys Old

But always prefer to have a good supply of port or bundy rum when out in the scrub

 

[Tiezto]

Great Northern is a great beer. Carlton Dry pretty good too. You cant go past a super cold VB on a hot day though.

 

[Wishfull]

In S.A. Draught red cans for me but otherwise xxxx
The occasional whisky with ice is nice.

 

[Trash]

Cold beer . Nice

When I live in Qld usually had tooheys new , but in Vic. It tastes shizenhausen .....

Cold VB , great northern are up there

Crown lager gives me a headache.....lol

Of the foreign ones , Tsingtao

Furphy on tap is good , sometimes its $6 a pint

 

[mbasko]

The fallback is XXXX Gold - if in doubt I'll just have a Gold now.
I like a bit of variety though. Coronas, Pure Blonde, James Boags Premium, Asahi Super Dry.... usually grab something different if we're away on holidays etc.
Tried a few craft beers & the pale ales always seem to be good.
Last couple of cartons have been Great Northern. Goes down well icy cold on a hot day - in fact most do

If I start on a beer I find it hard to swap over to another - seem to get the "taste" for whatever I'm drinking.

 

[FireandIce]

Any beer on a hot day as long as its a cold beer, but tooheys new is the favourite

Nothing like sitting in a bar by the Mekong with a big cold Lao draught. When at home I brew my own and put it in a 50 ltr keg which sits inside a fridge that I bought s/h for 25 bucks. A hole in the side for gas and a tap in the door. Luxury. Furphy takes some beating for a pub beer, and for DYR either Coopers or Briggalo, which is sold by Big W.
