Hi all, just thought I'd share some of my fave beers with you. Hopefully someone else on the forum has some appreciation for craft beer ;)
First up three of my favourites (I had difficulty narrowing this down to three):
#1 Lemon Sherbert sour (it makes you have a face like you've eaten a very strong pickled onion whole)
https://www.vocationbrewery.com/collections/core/products/double-sherbet-7-0-lemon-sour-ipa-440ml
#2 Sweet temptaion Chocolate caramel stout (it tastes like liquidised choc caramel + it's a nice percentage) Brew York are also a good brewery (there are quite a few good ones in the UK, Verdant in Falmouth Cornwall is also supposed to be very nice, although I haven't sampled them yet.

#3 15 mile round trip (consistently good and available in most tesco stores)

Does anyone else have any favourite beers, stouts or IPAs?
As you can probably tell Vocation are my fave brewery at the moment, cloudwater, thornbridge and brewdog are also really good.
My local brewer is Ringwood Brewery (https://www.ringwoodbrewery.co.uk). Their "FourtyNiner" is lovely. "Old Thumper" is stronger and great. Come to think of it I've never had a bad pint from there.
I went on the brewery trip once and my wife rolled me home.

The owners are actually Brits, and they spit on the fact that they can't easily export the goods to their home country anymore.
I wouldn't waste spit on Brexit. Lies sold to the stupid.

Nice, I've not tried those, given the time period I am guessing they are the older styles of beers/ales? I've drunk a lot of marstons "pedigree" during the titan years! Nice beer. Some of the new strains of hops etc are giving way to some really intricate tastes.
Hehe, I can fully respect that. My missus had to pick me up from the porch floor once on a similar journey, she rocks 8) I've still yet to inspire her to join freon...
I knew a really nice couple from the Isle of Wight who played UT together on the server. Not that I was jealous as hell or anything...
:)) She can only use a controller, not sure if UT2004 ever had controller support? Think gavgor mentioned it years back...
Nice shout annihilator, the citrus ipa is definitely up my street ;D

They're pretty good. I think Impact is my favourite from them.
Unless I'm out somewhere I just grab a case of Belgian Moon for when I'm kicking about at home.
I drink porter's only and when I'm lucky to find it in France, this mexican one : https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/11174/98961/
It is not a craft beer, but it is very tasty https://www.loscervecistas.es/cervezas/cerveza-maestra-de-mahou/

Nice, I've not tried those. Kind of into sours at the moment, although black ipas are quite nice - kind of a cross between stout and ale. I'll try and keep a lookout for those - there is a shop in my town that gets in loads of different beverages from all over the world :)

I've only tried one porter, that was from brewdog. My Portugese friend gave me some; they were quite nice.

Mmm, that sounds quite nice dude, liquorice and chocolatey :)
Thanks for the suggestions I'll try and keep my eyes peeled for these, or just order some online :D

The triple vision is lethal, yet tasty. (10%) Bannana stout is 11.something.
On the abstract lens at the mo, has a lovely refreshing taste to it.
I recommend them all, just not in one night!
I never drink beer, I hate any alcoholic drinks,i also hate the smell of alcohol! I drink soft drinks on my birthday, or sometimes I drink energy drinks sometimes. Alcohol never!
Sorry, my english not the best!

When you get to my age you bypass the beer and go straight to the scotch. >:D
...if you can remember what you were wanting to do by the time you get there....
After 4.5 hours of mowing, I light the fire pit (wind permitting) and take a seat. 8 minutes, tops, to remember I should have a scotch next to me. :))
Saturday was up @6. Men's group puts on a breakfast (pancakes, sausage, scrapple, apples) for 4 hours to start off the day for a local festival. Go home after that, then mowed. After that a quick bite, fire/seat/scotch to cap the night.

ah probably best you don't get into them, I got very into them 2 decades ago, quite tricky to stop doing them! I drink a lot of lucozade but can't drink energy drinks any more, the smell puts me off :(
Your English is fine dude, I understand you perfectly 8)

Lol Dave, I live in the middle of malt whiskey country :) There is a malt whiskey trail in Scotland, and it's all around me. I avoid spirits, I try to finish them all then end up in a drunken heap anywhere in the house :)) :'( >:D

No you don't, and no there isn't. Scotland is Whisky country, remove that erroneous "e" at once :)
I'm partial to a nice dark ale, my favourites at the moment are Harviestoun Old Engine Oil 6% & McEwans Champion 7.3%.

Stealer,
Extend the invite and we can 'walk the walk' and I'll make sure you end up in a comfortable spot. :)

Haha you're right there is no "e" in whisky! My bad! Had lots of Mcewans years ago, not bad. Old engine oil looks interesting.

Shame they don't have Aberlour on it, that is supposed to be excellent. There is another couple not on the map: Tomintoul and Knockandu (spelt something like that).
If you are ever over this way let me know Dave 8)
I do like a nice Speyside, particularly Glen Moray, although an Islay malt isn't without it's place.
I tend not to drink whisky too much as it makes me angry >:D
