The notion that the British brew better beer than the Germans is interesting...[8\|]

"No one brews beer like the Brits" That could be a good thing.......

What John Cleese said about British beer in an old Guiness Commercial: "Warm sticky stuff with various forms of pond life in it"[sm=party-smiley-012.gif][sm=vomit-smiley-020.gif] Brits are known for many wonderful contributions to the world but few of them have to do with food.

denisonh -> RE: Spitfire Ale - The Bottle of Britain (6/23/2006 3:07:28 AM)
I kinda thought that Guinness is their best contribution to date in that category. [Edit] Let's be honest Guinness, although it was began production and distribution while part of GB, it is no longer "British" and now strictly Irish. quote: ORIGINAL: RUPD3658 What John Cleese said about British beer in an old Guiness Commercial: "Warm sticky stuff with various forms of pond life in it"[sm=party-smiley-012.gif][sm=vomit-smiley-020.gif] Brits are known for many wonderful contributions to the world but few of them have to do with food.

When I saw it some 5 yrs ago I immediately orderd one, but was too strong for a beer of my taste. IIRC it was 7% instead of the normal 5. Well to be honest, apart from cheese and beer the northern countries have not really contributed to good food.[:D]

I'm quite fond of Newcastle. I don't have any idea how authentic it is, or if it's maybe crap over there across the pond. But I like it well enough. Guiness on the other hand, will not only put hair on your chest, but on your back and the bottoms of your feet. Blech. I even like a lot of the stouts, but Guiness is beyond me, a black-n-tan is about the only way I can drink it. -F-

Speedysteve -> RE: Spitfire Ale - The Bottle of Britain (6/23/2006 3:58:31 PM)
I do like Guinness but I drink it probably once a month. After 4-6 pints i'm full up. Literally full up. A multi-purpose drink[;)]

MarcA -> RE: Spitfire Ale - The Bottle of Britain (6/23/2006 4:12:34 PM)
We often see Spitfire in the SW and it's a decent brew [image]local://upfiles/15658/5472F8DC9202400DADEB49038DDE2F4D.jpg[/image]

joey -> RE: Spitfire Ale - The Bottle of Britain (6/23/2006 4:13:07 PM)
Guiness is okay at best. I tried many a Brit beer while stationed over there. Did not like many of them --- Give me a good Irish or German beer anytime! They know how to brew a beer!

Speedysteve -> RE: Spitfire Ale - The Bottle of Britain (6/23/2006 4:13:30 PM)
Still see it around here too

Hoplosternum -> RE: Spitfire Ale - The Bottle of Britain (6/23/2006 4:40:51 PM)
In Britain we usually distinguish beers between bitter and lager. Lager is what everyone else calls beer, but we call lager. Bitter is what we call beer and everyone else doesn't seem to like [:D] It's the stuff that can be served warm or at least not cold, often has bits in the bottom, is darker (usually) and much flatter than lager. It needs to be kept well otherwise it quickly goes off. Most people start drinking one or the other from an early age and then stick to it [:)] Lager is more popular now than bitter, but there are very few pubs that won't serve both. Spitfire is a bitter. And a nice one too. Guiness is neither bitter or lager. Served (nearly) everywhere in the UK. Usually very good these days (10+ years ago it was harder to find places outside Ireland that kept it well). It's kind of like the reserve drink for me when I go in to a pub and find the beer tastes bad [:)]

Some of the best beers i've had are British/Irish, but there are some good German ones too. Warsteiner I like for a summer beer. My GF unit's dad is an international pilot....he brings home cases of German beer thats like 12-13% Alc. Don't know the name as the bottles are unlabeled but man they are good. <hic> US beers generally suck....unless its a reputible microbrewery.....a wonderful exception is Rouge Ales. I live within walking distance of one of their brewhouses...they have so many good selections you need a beer "menu" to order! www.rogue.com

At least in TX, it has to say "Malt Liquor" on the label to be sold, and it was not true in NYS or CT.

Hands down the best in the world. It's not too heavy, not too light, good full flavor without being overly bitter. YUM! [sm=party-smiley-012.gif]

Speedysteve -> RE: Spitfire Ale - The Bottle of Britain (6/23/2006 6:26:26 PM)
Warsteiner is a decent Lager. I'm more of a Lager drinker than a Bitter one but will (as said before) drink Guinness from time to time (not that that's a Bitter mind you)

Tequila makes me ill....guaranteed

Duckstein is may favourite pint.

anarchyintheuk -> RE: Spitfire Ale - The Bottle of Britain (6/23/2006 6:39:09 PM)
Being Texan its my duty to drink Shiner Bock (or anything else with alcohol that's free).

I find that with a good Whiskey. Ah 5 more minutes until end of work and then into London to have a few beers with a mate[8D]

Curty -> RE: Spitfire Ale - The Bottle of Britain (6/23/2006 7:42:14 PM)
Guinness reminds me of the remains of that cold cup of coffee i left from last night...it tasted horrendous[sm=vomit-smiley-020.gif] Stella Artois in my opinion is the best Lager in the world...a Belgian 'beer', 5.2% Alc. A close second would be German.. Beck's Bier from Bremen, has a kind of nutty taste with 5% Alc. The strangest is 'Old Pickled Sporren' a local 'brew' from the Orkney Islands[&o][&o][&o]
