Schiehallion is really good for a lager and probably SWMBOs favourite at the moment. Picked up some Paulaner wheat beer and lager in Majestic yesterday. The wheat stuff is good but the lager is probably only ok for a very cold drink on a hot day.

Ola Dubh is ace, like you say, but I've only had the one version of it - the 5 years one iirc. The cheapest! Doesn't it come in about 5 different 'years'? I don't think I've had a bad Harviestoun beer yet!

Brewdog stuff is nice, they occasionally have it in the local Tesco. Very rough quality to them though, so not so good to have with food.
I find myself drifting more towards eastern European stuff these days. Really like Baltika when I can get it, and most Czech pilsners are nice. A lot of the local bars in the 'Ford do Staropramen on draft so I tend to go mostly with that. Avoid the Polish stuff they have in the supermarkets though, it's mostly pretty rubbish. Odd slightly fruity Estonian one called Viru turns up there sometimes, quite like that.
Japanese lagers are decent, but I'm not a fan of Asahi and there aren't many other options in the UK. One pub here has Kirin Ichiban, which makes a nice change.
I can't stand Kronenbourg at all, and I'm not a fan of Stella either. And all these new 4% ones can knob right off. Becks Vier tastes like someone filtered budweiser through a compost heap.
Guildford seems to be going through an Iberian phase at the moment though. Most bars carry San Miguel and Estrella, neither of which I'm overly fond of apart from the funky glasses.

Not beer but have bought a bottle of grey goose vodka to enjoy with the lady tonight (and probably the next couple of nights too) ?31.49 and yes I'll still drink it with coke.
Ooo and as I'm going to yo sushi tonight I get to have a giant Sapporo as a starter! ResultLast edited by ETC; 01-08-2011, 14:14.

Originally posted by evilthecatuk View PostVery jealous of this I tried my local tesco extras but no joy must be a new store restricted line but strangely everywhere here sells baltika(3 for ?5 for the large bottles) had to settle for some more of the tasty brewdog lager 77 but only ?1.45 each in the tesco also thought I would try a peroni gran reserve (not bad) and to appease prinny a hardcore ipa which was very tasty if a little powerful for a Thursday night (about 9%abv)
