Grid Girl from close up

I am impressed Socke! You managed to take those photos with steady hands. Great will power that overcame the physiological tremours! :p I agree with Kris, Foster tastes like fizzy piss! Erdinger forever!

Actualy it is an irish pub belonging to an irishman. Best place to get Strongbow and Newcastle this side of the canal :)

If you go into an Irish pub there is obviously only one drink. And I don't mean Murphy's stout, although that is good. You should be able to say "pint please" and it gets pulled for you. :)
 
Here in the States Foster's comes from Canada. The beer in the blue can indeed tastes like fizzy piss. However, the bitter in the green can is quite good, especially if its not too cold. The British are quite correct IMHO in drinking bitter cool, but not cold. American lager should be drunk cold, however.

Ooooh, we've got a bit of a problem with Manolo here... ;) Paddy's a bit too raw for me, but Pherdi, would I order a pint of Jameson? I don't think so - couldn't afford it. Not averse to having a small one with a pint though. :) Jameson or Black Bush will do very nicely thanks! :D
 
From the irish malts, i prefer Jameson and Bushmills (they are very smooth and taste great), and on the other hand, Kilkenny. Guinness is fine but can't have more than 2 pints - it makes me feel like exploding soon :(
 
Sláinte - to your health!

Actually, I've more or less given up drinking beer, wine is now more to my taste. Getting soft! :(
 
akalai, the RFF was the last place on Earth I would have suspected to hear about Fettes Brot - yes, they are still around.

BTW, nobody here who prefers Bohemian/Czech beer? A nice 'real' Budweiser (Budvar), Gambrinus, Starobrno etc. can't be beat...

Roman I like Pilsner Urquell which I understand is considered the Czech Budweiser but it is really nice in comparison to the American stuff...
 
This is nearly rising to the level of intentional infliction of emotional distress. There is nothing more that I would like than a good ale. . . but I just can't. Unfortunately, in spite of my mixed Scottish, German, and Hispanic heritage, my anti-drinking genes kicked in at around age 25. One beer, or one sip of wine, and I'm hugging porcelain the next day.

All this talk still triggers memories of wonderful tastes and scents and makes my mouth water. I'll just go shut my office door and cry, just not in a beer :)

Hey Roman, are you a Funf Sterne Deluxe fan as well? I have some old CD's from my time over there....

Hey Peter, put me down for some Pilsner Urqell...but I prefer a good Paulaner!

i feel for ya and understand completely.
i get really bad migraines and as i got older alcohol of any kind became a trigger.
i'm in pain, big time, before i put the glass down.
but i sure do miss my scotch, my cigar and the odd brew in the summer.

Pilsner Urquelle is one of my favourites - or I should say was, as it suddenly jumped in price, here, when the distributor changed.

But the beer I love most is Coopers Sparkling Ale (that's right, Akalai, it's gotta be the red label!).

Of course, the best beer is the current one.

Cheers,
Steve
