Favourite Beers

[moggiethouable]

After a great many years of trial and error I have decided my favourite beer is Double Maxim.
Coincidentally it was the first beer I ever tried.
38 years ago to be precise, you mustnt rush something like that, you need to be certain

[yellowbelly]

Wow!
I thought that when Vaux brewery ceased brewing that was it.
My Moggy Traveller in the early 70`s carried many a bottle of Double Maxim en route to parties in Sunderland.
I certainly will be looking out for it when I have identified a retailer.

Can't beat ' Flying Scotsman ' ......for obvious reasons.

I like Purity's UBU, but being a real ale freak I also like:

Doom Bar
Tribute
Double Dragon
to name a few! lol

[JOWETTJAVELIN]

Desperados for me!

[MarkyB]

Desperados? I must admit I thought it was an alco-pop but a quick search reveals;
Description:
A full-bodied, highly refreshing beer with an extra kick of Tequila flavouring.
I'll try one next time I see it.

I'm partial to a Corona with a slice of lime in the summer, real ale in the pub and cheap weak lager at home

[lambrettalad]

Real ale tipple is Baythams bitter or mild from the black country.(Dudley)

But best of all is Budweiser Ice served in a frosted glass

[MarkyB]

Quite a contrast there lambrettalad, I'm no beer snob being a Carlsburg drinker, but even I draw the line at Budweiser Ice!
Budvar is said to be very nice though.

For me it has to be a pint of Timothy Taylors Landlord.

[charlie_morris_minor]

a pint of brains SA

[mach2]

McEwans export for me

[mike.perry]

A pint of Guinness and Cider in my engraved tankard.
Or if not available a pint of Old Speckled Hen[frame][/frame]

[StaffsMoggie]

Taylor's Landlord

Wells Bombardier

Holden's Golden Glow

Titanic Captain Smiths

Titanic Steerage

Titanic Iceberg

Batham's

And the finest of all, Joules Slumbering Monk

[brucek]

A pint (or several) of Sam Smiths Museum was my favourite of all time but they stopped brewing it Nearest I can find now is Sam Smiths Sovereign which, whilst good, just tastes like a watered down version of Museum. Pity that it's not still around

I've only ever found Bud ice from the tap in Dublin,it's great AFTER four pints of the black stuff

[sudburypaul]

In my yoof Vaux Samson or Camerons Strong Arm: occasionally a trip to N. York moors for some Theakstons Old Peculiar straight from the cask.

Now:
McEwans Champion
Adnams (almost anything but especially Broadside)
Greene King Abbott ale (GK Winter Ale is also v.good)
Mauldons Blackadder
Almost anything Belgian, especially the brown beers such as Dubbel Brun
Speckled Hen

Occasional blond beer in the summer, cool at the end of a work day.
Definately not lager - tastes of nothng and would spoil the stripey woolly jumper image cultivated over many years

This exercise has made me realise how much I like beer...

Just realised MoggieThouable, Wetherspoons beer festival this month includes Double Maxim, so it is still out there

[moggiethouable]

Ah yes, still very much available.
When Vaux closed a couple of directors had the good sense to acquire the rights to continue to brew it, no longer in brown bottles, but it still tastes the same to me.
£1.98 a pint at my local off door, I need to convice my local to stock it, the wife may never see me again.
According to their website tesco, asda morrisons and sainsburys also stock it.Thanks to all for the other brews to try as well.

£1.98 a pint at my local

Local to where, a pint in the Telegraph where we have our meetings is now £3.50!
Not a happy bunny, next thing you know it will be £4.

Our local draught beers are even cheaper in my local,"inebriate by the sea" on the North East coast of course
I think its all about supply and demand,purchasing power talks up ere lad.
We will all die prematurely of alcohol poisoning of course, but there are worse ways to go!

[Trickydicky]

Has anyone tried this beer?
