While I enjoy the occasional (sweet) bubbly with a fine meal, generally speaking I'm definitely a beer/ale guy. As I've previously stated elsewhere, I was permanently converted by a couple home-brewer friends of mine. :2thumbsup:

Beer for sure. This is one of my favorites: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Moon_beer
You bastard. Never, EVER recommend a beer with orange rinds in it again.Quote:

The beer is orange-amber in color with a cloudy appearance because it is unfiltered. It is also spiced with coriander and orange peel in addition to the hops found in most beers.
Strongbow? Strongbow is CIDERQuote:

For a Belgian style white beer it really doesn't resemble Belgian white beer.Quote:

Sure Belgium has a wide collection of fruitbeers but at least they taste and look like beers.
I have 2 very strict rules about my beer:
1. If you need to drink ice and ice cold to be able to enjoy it, then it isn't worth drinking (I'm looking at you Heiniken).
2. If the beer starts to resemble an alcopop instead of real beer, then it isn't worth drinking.
Also,Quote:

4. Beer should have a small head. I've paid for the beer, not the foam dammit. If I want to drink air, I can do so for free without pouring it into a glass.
5. If you're only drinking it to get drunk, it isn't worth drinking. Beer should be an interesting, not throwaway drink, whatever its ABV. Really weak beers generally aren't worth drinking, not because of their low ABV, but because little care has gone into their making, and they taste bland.
So, so true. Plus - its just about all that the Uni bars sell.Quote:

Have you ever tried Blue Moon? It doesn't taste like beer. It tastes like an orange soda with some ale in it. :tongue:Quote:

I love this stuff...
Stella is beer for people who can't find proper beer.Quote:

What is this proper beer you speak of?Quote:

Some of those beers don't work of course, but there's a good variety, and I enjoy trying unfamiliar beers.Quote:

Theakston's Old Peculier

It really depends on the wine and the beer.Quote:
