No apologies for choosing all Belgian beers, I've not found a nice UK beer for about 30 years (last one was Theakstons Special Brown Ale in the late '70's/ early 80's).

Landlord is a lovely pint, not sure I've got a favourite beer though.
Our local micropub has lots of different beers on throught the year. They did a week of doing beers by the Blue Monkey brewery, they were nice.
I love beers from the Dark Star brewery, especially Revelation and Hophead.
Badger tanglefoot is a great beer, servered chilled at BBQs.
I always have a pint of Ringwood Fortyniner if I see it on tap, great beer.

There's a fella in my local that will order one of the many ales available along with a large jug of hot water so he can warm his drink up!!!
What the fuck is that all about, it must be like drinking bitter soup?
Give me a cold pint of Thatchers any day. :b

I seriously cannot stand any of that stuff, i find it quite vile and simply cannot drink it.

Thatchers :moon tastes like piss, go wash your mouth out.
Most real ale is served to cold to help keep, it should be cool not cold hence the warming up by said bloke.

I have had almost all of the ones mentioned and last night we had a BBQ and the 3 on the glass table are from last night and are great for summer as they are good to be chilled and the most tasty one is the west coast ipa which is strange as it has the least alcohol - usually I find the tasty ones have more % which is why I like all the ones in the photo on asda's shelf and the Leff
The Amigo is also a good summer cold one

For me I love all german beers. Pilsners and Weiss (wheat) beers. All day long the best beers in Europe!
In the UK, I quite like anything brewed by Wychwood or Adnams. I must also admit despite it's watery complete lack of flavour I do like a bit of Caffreys. :eek
But if we're mixing I definitely go for Tennants super (tramp) and white lightning. ;) :D

IPA's in general are quite good.
to be fair, if I am in a pub and they have something I haven't tried before and it isn't too strong, I will give it a go regardless of what else they have on draft.

Have a go with some of the Oakham Ales. JHB and Inferno are worth a punt.

I went out to the pubto watch the football on TV(live in France) Liverpool v C Palace. I normally only ever have a 2 pints over 2 hours if driving home. This stuff 4 pints and I was ticking. Got a taxi home and collected the car in the morning.
I have tried Leffe beers over all their range but this Leffe Royale was the bees.

The local rugby club had a fireworks event on Friday and over ordered bright beer for the beer tents so got a bargain on this. Just got to drink much more than normal this week to avoid it going to wasteYou have my sympathy, a difficult job, but some one has to do it :lol
