jimmyjambo Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Following on from the favourite pub or worst pub thread, I thought this was worth starting. Whats your favourite pint/beer and where do you get it? I prefer a porters/stout type beer. Love Black Isle Porter, usually go to Cloisters after the game where they have this. Was in Holyrood 9A a couple of weeks ago and had a few Pilot mochaccino stouts, superb. Quote
Craig_ Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Williams' Caesar Augustus. Just enough hoppiness and very sessionable. Or Leffe Blonde/Brune if I'm having a quiet couple of beers. Quote
Marvin Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Every time I visit Edinburgh I always make a point of having a pint of Deuchers IPA. Quote
Alan_R Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 I like Cascade lager from Tasmania Never seen it outside of Oz tho Pretty much any Czech is good. Pilsner urquell, budvar etc Quote
Erik Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Is it ok to say Peroni? Or are we expecting hipster / craft beers only lol? Quote
Carl Weathers Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Caser Augustus or Brooklyn lager. I usually end up getting something like Stella or Heineken when out though. Quote
Dagger Is Back Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Leffe Blonde or Brun Innes & Gunn Hop 13 Moretti Quote
luckyBatistuta Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Is it ok to say Peroni? Or are we expecting hipster / craft beers only lol? Haha, was thinking the same. I must be really boring, as it's only Peroni, Grolsch, Stella, Heineken, in that order and that's it. Quote
Boof Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Belhaven, though it's not a patch on the 1982-87 Diggers 80/- Quote
Regal Kingston Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Carling, Fosters or Budweiser IN A BOTTLE Quote
Bauld Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 I love the black isle as well. My favourite porter is Robinsons Red n Black which is one of iron maidens beers. Very drinkable I had 2 cases and they were gone far too quickly. Favourite beer at the moment is probably old crafty hen. Followed very closely by the full Badgers range. They are all really nice. Quote
Regal Kingston Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 In all seriousness Black Isle Blonde, Caesar Augustas, Amstel & Estrella Still enjoy a good pint of Tennents too. Quote
JP Morgan Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 I love the black isle as well. My favourite porter is Robinsons Red n Black which is one of iron maidens beers. Very drinkable I had 2 cases and they were gone far too quickly. Favourite beer at the moment is probably old crafty hen. Followed very closely by the full Badgers range. They are all really nice. Badger brewery is local to me, Tanglefoot on draught is superb. May have over indulged last night.... Quote
Auld Reekin' Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Duval,Hoegarrden, Blacksheep. Good man - great choice... For me, also Weihenstephaner Hefeweiss (or pretty much any of the other German hefeweissen other than Erdinger), Rothaus Pils, Three Hop, Greene King IPA, and London Pride. As with the OP, some of the Scottish and English porters kicking around are brilliant too. Having said that, I like a lot of different beers, as long as they're not ultra-hoppy/bitter/strong "craft" brews or industrial fizz. Quote
Governor Tarkin Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Guinness in the pub, Caesar Augustas from the fridge. Quote
Bauld Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Badger brewery is local to me, Tanglefoot on draught is superb. May have over indulged last night.... Fursty Ferret was my entry to Badger. It was the moment I realised how shite lager actually is. Since then I've tried all of them and I think Hopping Hare is probably the one I drink most now. Quote
Joey J J Jr Shabadoo Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Caeser Augustus or tempest brave new world Ipa. Quote
Haken Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Quite like Joker IPA. Schiehallion not too bad. Caesar Augustus also proving popular. Quote
benny Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Belhaven best.Ice cold. Used to like Bass Special in the 70's. Quote
EH11_2NL Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Guinness, Deuchars, Belhaven Best and a cold Newkie Brown for me. A really good Deuchars is hard to beat i.e The Doric (outwith festival time when they put Edinburgh Castle ale on!!!!) serves a cracker. Quote
Ray Gin Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Williams' Caesar Augustus. Just enough hoppiness and very sessionable. Definitely my favourite beer that I can drink all night. There are others that I prefer the taste of but could only have a few of them or I'd be on my back. Quote
hmfc_liam06 Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Definitely my favourite beer that I can drink all night. There are others that I prefer the taste of but could only have a few of them or I'd be on my back. This. I quite often wonder why I am so pissed after 4 or 5 pints then I realise I've been drinking 6%+ beer Quote
Morgan Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Is it ok to say Peroni? Or are we expecting hipster / craft beers only lol? Of course it is. For me it's Peroni, Heineken, San Miguel or Estrella. Don't turn my nose up,at Moretti or 1664 though. They do a beer in Italy called Menabrea which is quite hard to find on draught but is lovely stuff. Quote
Riddley Walker Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Definitely my favourite beer that I can drink all night. There are others that I prefer the taste of but could only have a few of them or I'd be on my back. Caesar Augustus used to be my go-to drink if out drinking and it was available, however far too many pre and post-match pints of it at the Golden Rule have put me off. Love the Red McGregor and Dark Island beers from Orkney Brewery, been a Tesco constant for a paltry ?1.65. There's a great wee booze shop with tons of different beers next to me, not cheap but the Samuel Smith range is very nice. As most have said, Williams Brewery is consistently cheap and tasty as well when bought in bottle. Midnight Sun, Joker and Pavlov's Dog are my favourites of theirs. Quote
Scallywag Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Scapa Special - Swanney Brewery, Orkney......superb ! Quote
jimmyjambo Posted August 25, 2017 Author Posted August 25, 2017 got a couple of these in the fridge, quite nice Quote
Bauld Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 got a couple of these in the fridge, quite nice Gold is lovely. ?1 a bottle in morrisons recently. Took advantage. Quote
NANOJAMBO Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 http://www.aldi.co.uk/spill-the-beans---coffee-porter/p/069863045934100 lovely stuff. Quote
jimmyjambo Posted August 25, 2017 Author Posted August 25, 2017 Gold is lovely. ?1 a bottle in morrisons recently. Took advantage. And so you should The Mitre had Titanic Plum Porter a few weeks ago, lovely stuff Quote
I P Knightley Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Badger brewery is local to me, Tanglefoot on draught is superb. May have over indulged last night.... Lucky man! I used to go to Dorset for 2-3 long weekends a year, golfing and chilling, and stayed not far from Blandford. I remember taking a newcomer to a Badger pub for his first taste of Tanglefoot - it was like an angel had pissed on his tonsils. Since then, I've always been a big fan of Badger beers. Not too keen on the Blandford Fly but Fursty Ferret, hopping Hare and Golden Champion top the list. Always keen on a bit of Golden Glory, too. Quote
Mars plastic Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Is it ok to say Peroni? Or are we expecting hipster / craft beers only lol? Peroni sends me loopy. Thy had it in Monty's up until last year and we'd go up on a Friday and get absolutely off our crackers. Hellish hangover with it mind. They've one in at the moment called Paolozzi which is Brewed up at Sighthill. That's another right strong brew so it is. Quote
Tazio Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Normally a Guinness for me. Though I will occasionally stray to Deuchars or Caeser Augustus. All these fancy craft beers make buying a round a bit tricky, in the old days you went to the bar and ordered pints of lager or heavy, now you have to order half a dozen different thing with names you forget as soon as you leave the table. Quote
Craig_ Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Got one of these chilling in the Perfect Draft machine for the bank holiday weekend: Quote
doctor jambo Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Erdinger Weiss in fact any cloudy Weiss from Germany Moretti Guiness after reading a thread on here bought some Innes and Gunn- gads Quote
Bainy Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Was introduced to Duval in Belgium a few years ago. Its strong about 8% but its lovely and readily available in most super markets. Also loved Ozujsko when in Dubrovnik but never managed to find it over here. Quote
main Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Another shout for carling or fosters and Budweiser In a bottle but had something in Belgium called hommelbier which I haven't been able to find since. Beautiful. Quote

Oldest daughter got me some of that Paolozzzi for my birthday, lovely stuff. Broughton's Greenmantle is lovely too. Quote

They do a beer in Italy called Menabrea which is quite hard to find on draught but is lovely stuff. Have you tried the 150th Anniversary Brew? Very Nice. Recently had the Menabrea Amber, Rossa & the Strong, all in bottles though. Little Italy restaurant in Penicuik has Menabrea on draught, which is a bit far for you to travel for a pint I know, but yes I've not come across many places outside of Italy which sell it on draught, it's usually Peroni or Moretti.

The Real Maroonblood Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Timothy Taylor's Landlord is amazing. Quote
Rab Mac52 Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) F?rstenberg - a cracking beer on a hot summer's day. Deuchars - great session beer. Leffe Blonde with a meal. Caeser Augustus; Joker; Schiehallion etc - Just for drinking! Edited August 25, 2017 by Rab Mac52 Quote

I'll look out for that Anniversary one Jimbo. Sister-in-law lives in Eddleston, I'll mention Little Italy to her and her husband. Quote
