What's your favorite Beer?

Goose Island is good, get some Blue Moon. Doug got me on it whilst in NYC, haven't been off it since I got back
And yeh, not sure what it is about the abundance of American craft beers in UK supermarkets right now, but long may it continue
if you like IPA, check out Pliney the Elder. Its on some secret handshake type of shit just to get it around here, so you might not have much luck, but its one of the best IPA's I have ever had.

NOw you guys mentioned that, it really is the sweetness of the stuff I didn't like.
As I said I like Pale Ale's, bitters, porters, Stouts…on the other hand good Pils is always worth the money. Even a good lager is fine. Hoppiness is good...
Just don't make me drink sweet beer....

not my favourite beer: Green King IPA through a 'creamflow' system - went to a pub I've never been to before today; mostly to return the feeling to my hands after fishing the canal so I could drive properly…
the (1 pint of)Green King was the only thing on...horrible, creamy and weak.
not my favourite beeer II - my mate left a couple of cans of Stella in the fridge - I drank them...absolutely foul

Thanks, always up for a new cider! Which should I be on the lookout for?
Try some french ciders….better tasting imho, and worth trying

Exactly what I was thinking, Mega. One step up from White Lightning, imo
Depends what's available where you live though, I guess. We have it easy here these days.

I'll add McEwan's Export to that list.
Not the lager varietal - this horrible stuff…

Is that the UK equivalent of Olde English Malt Liqueur?

Is that a drink brand in the UK, or are you talking about moonshine? Because if you're talking about moonshine, that's what my bad teenage memories include. That, and piña coladas made with everclear…

White Lightning's a very strong and very cheap cider 'brand' (in the loosest sense of the word) here in the UK. Not even sure if it's still going (it was in my 90s student days)
Drunk mainly by low income wastrels, a large proportion of which were the aforementioned students. Nasty stuff, especially lethal when combined with low quality strong lager in homebrew-style 'snakebite'.

The best part about it is that it comes in 3 litre pop bottles. When I was studying in the UK, we had a White Lightning challenge. First one to finish their bottle won…I don't remember much, but the corrosive taste of victory!!!
-
So a lot like moonshine and everclear, then.

Mixed with citric acid and high fructose corn syrup!
