The best beer in the world is any ice cold beer when you are really thirsty. The worst beer is better than the best cup of tea...!!!

One of the longer threads on the forum I see! It's got me looking in my beer cellar and there's plenty of Fuller's of different (stronger) varieties, some Brakspear's Triple Crown, TT Landlord & Dr Okell's from the Isle of Man (waiting for summer).
A couple local to me that haven't been mentioned are Otter Head (one of my favourites, about 5. and Cotleigh Old Buzzard. Going further afield Sharps Doom Bar (better draught than bottled) & Ringwood Old Thumper.

I'd have to disagree on that one. I'll be packing my teabags when I head off stateside tomorrow morning.The worst beer is better than the best cup of tea...!!!

I've had Doom Bar in the Cobweb in Boscastle. A nice pint and a highly recommended pub (if you don't mind cobwebs!).A couple local to me that haven't been mentioned are Otter Head (one of my favourites, about 5. and Cotleigh Old Buzzard.

If my fiancee's recent visit to the colonies is anything to go by, it's the milk you'll have most bother with. Apparently she was offered a choice of soya milk or rice milk, no cow juice in sight!

I agree wholeheartedly. Sometimes you just can't beat a good cup of tea.

One thing about South Africa that I enjoy most is the variety of fair beers brewed right here!! Okay, we have got rubbish as well but our finest beers will rate among the best in the world. Windhoek beers are brewed in Namibia, our neighbouring country. If you ever see one anywhere, try it out...

A couple of weeks back my wife had a bottle of Windhoek and then halfway through a bottle of Castle complained that she was feeling drunk, was biting her lip and slurring!One thing about South Africa that I enjoy most is the variety of fair beers brewed right here!!

An interesting couple of beers we thought!
However, we did find the reason the following morning. A spider bite - probably a Sac Spider that took a liking to her heel.

I feel in need of a beer tonight. Should I pick up a bottle of Hobgoblin or a bottle of Crabbie's alcoholic ginger beer on the way home from the office? Oh decisions, decisions...

I used to drink the cider when I was digging in Devon as a student. It cost half the price of beer and was twice as strong. I am glad to say my priorities have changed now...

I bet you inadvertently carved your way through quite a few archaeological layers in you cider induced stupor, Kris. I used to drink the cider when I was digging in Devon as a student.
Some interesting finds to be discovered in Exeter museum. Didn't know the Romans used .303 bullets...

Hertfordshire,
mostly.
8 pages of beer talk and counting. I haven't seen this much excitement over the Pentax gear we are all supposed to be banging on about. Still, my favourite tipple from my European travelling days was the Leffe Blond, from Belgium.

Have you tried ADNAMS Innovation yet?
Good luck in the land of Budweiser,not a beer I'd recommend!
Last time I was offered a Bud I declined and had water instead. About the same taste and alcohol content but no calories.
Best wishes, K.
