Obviously very subjective. I just never liked Bitter, Mild, Guinness. Lager shandy was my limit.

Guinness isn’t British for a start.

So that left you with Porters, Pale Ales, IPAs, Brown Ales

Guinness isn’t British for a start.

Seriously guys?

I wasn't going to write an exhaustive list, I assumed you would get the gist. I could have said Stout instead of Guinness (from the british isles), but in the late 70s warm Guinness was the only stout available on tap in a Wolverhampton pub.
If you wanted to be pedantic you could at least have pointed out that many lagers are brewed in the UK.

To add further pedantry, lager is not a beer.....

I tend not to be serious when I post a smiley face at the end of a post, obviously the prolonged time in the states has reduced your ability to detect sarcasm

Lager isn't beer.....? Go on.....

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

I think you forgot to add a smiley face.


Not meant in an aggressive way, you are right about my sarcasm detection.

But come on! Lager and ale may be different, both are beer.

Don't wish to join the pedantry, but......aren't IPAs part of the Pale Ale family ?

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Lager was always seen as a distinct group when I used to do home brewing, same as IPA which is a separate process to pale ales (to allow it to be transported out to the Brits in the empire)

You could of course have just said Beer which, universally covers any of the drinks mentioned.

I don't think there is any hard and fast rules, just someone with a little time to spare and no decent transfer rumours.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

and no decent transfer rumours.

almost makes you want to drown your sorrows

Nobody mentioning the lushness that is cider? just gets a bad rap due to pissed 14yo kids in the park or bus stations nationwide and it's way better than any of your brown beer with twigs in it nonsense, and it counts of one of your five a day

 

[The Bear]

Agreed. I'd much rather drink a nice cider than beer/lager.

 

[Paul]

One for me and one for the dear Wife

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

A really good Cider is a joy, especially on a hot day. I really like Stowford Press.

 

[sycophantia]

Yep cider is a nice refreshing drink in the summer

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

How remiss of me. I love a good cider, my favourite is the Robinsons which I only seem to be able to get over Shropshire way. Bloomin lovely stuff

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Of course I've also left off Perry.

Hey, I'll have a Babysham!

 

[The Bear]

Thatchers Gold has been my favourite for a while.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Big fan of Old Mout at the moment. This one especially in the hot weather.

 

[Wombat del combate]

in the hot weather.

What is this phenomenon you talk about? I've had to have the heating on in my car the last two mornings.

I can only assume Paddy has full Parka and thermals on his bike then!
