What's your favorite Beer?

[neph93]

In other news, I've had a self imposed week off the beer to help ease myself back into 6am starts and working life, after seven weeks of holiday. Went to the monopoly today and dropped about $100 so I'm looking forward to Friday evening

Any new stouts in that batch? Don’t seem to recall you drinking many porters.

[neph93]

There are a few stouts actually…. and it will be cool and rainy this weekend. I’ll post what I drink I promise.

@neph. Not the same glass. I tend to sip my BA Stouts slowly and see how they evolve as temps rise. The Pabst fills in the gaps.

I like your style. I can’t remember what it was called but a mixed pint of Guiness and lager was a thing when I was 18 years old.

Black and Tan?

That’s the one! Christ, the crap we used to drink… snakebite, black and tan, shandies, there was a mix called a «pint of golden» too which may have been mild and lager together?

Lemonade top - Vomit….

Oh Lord, that…

And Black Velvet too, which was guiness and cider where I lived but had other things in it other places.

Not everything was better before.

Half and Half.  In the Midlands that was half a pint of Mild (probably M&B) and half a pint of bitter (probably Ansells)…..

[neph93]

Yes indeed. We had that too in the North West. Meaningless really, just a bland pint og brown-ness.

This has had me reminiscing about a night out in Birmingham when I was 18. I drank lots of Black Velvet at Edwards (seedy goth club by the Bullring), and ended up with my arse hanging out of a hedge row in Bourneville. Nasty.

Coke and pils here… Grew up with the stuff... It's not that bad: the coke keeps you hydrated and the bit of caffeine keeps you awake...

Of course: I wouldn't touch that stuff anymore 

My aunt, who lived in London in the seventies, still talks of the beer with lemonade concoction... I remember a friend drinking it as well, btw...

Aaaaah sweet memories...

A real RedEye,as in when a cowboy walks up to a bar and says give me a RedEye is beer and tomato juice. Tried it once. Pretty bad. Supposed to be good for a hangover.

Probably because it causes you to purge your stomach on the spot [emoji1]

Bloody Mary is quite good for a hangover… I wouldn't mix in beer but... Y'know...

[Jett129]

No,Hell didn’t freeze over. Decided to try a Milkshake IPA,to see if I could drink it. And I was able to finish it. I think it was good,but since it was my first I have nothing to compare it to. I t was real hoppy when you first picked it up to drink,and the bitterness showed up on the back end. 8.2 on the alcohol which is acceptable.

Hadn’t found this for years, and it pops up at Whole Foods

In my neck of the woods, a Black and Tan is a half glass of Bass Ale, the other half Guiness floated on top. I was known to drink them, often. Loved them…

While it is quite often called a Redeye, that is simply a bloody beer. A true Redeye would have a raw egg. The yolk represents the pupil.
