Fair enough, mate. Whiskey aint the easiest drink to take. You need to dull those taste buds a bit, then in 30 years time, you'll be having it straight out of the bottle.

Enjoy!!

What is staropramen like I always see it in the gunners but always assumed it would be too dear and crap.

Is it a good 'dark' beer like Guinnes or a shitty ale like London Pride?

Ales:

Abbot
Old Peculiar
Old speckled hen
The odd newcastle brown goes down quite well too

I also dabble in all sorts of local hampshire ales when im down at uni in Portsmouth but I'll be fucked if i can remember their names/brewery names 8)

Outside of ale its all about Peroni and imported german beers that aren't Becks. If cornered and forced to indulge in gassy "mainstream" lagers then i usually opt for Kronenbourg.

Funny mate I can't stand peroni. Nastro azzurro gran riserva and moretti are good though. Hate all the crappy pissy lager like Carlsberg Heineken Fosters. 1664 is better than that lot, not bad but not great.

OSH isnt bad and Old Peculier is nice, haven't tried the rest.

Mainstream beers I like Guinness or ciders. Microbreweries generally good stouts and lagers not as big on most ales.

Central European beers are generally top notch but Becks is *****. Apparently good in Germany though.

the pub that i sample local beers from churn them out at £2.40-2.70 a pint. Not bad if i do say so, some cracking beers too 8)

Not a bad list you've got there though, i love heineken but i tend to be priced out of it. Budweiser's not for me but its nowhere near as intolerable as carlsberg/carling/fosters. Is Erdinger the wheat beer? If its the one im thinking of then i thoroughly approve 8)

I enjoy the odd westons medium-dry ciders but im not a big cider drinker it must be said.

Not half bad we tend to stay away from the pub €5 a pint pretty steep must be said. Carlsberg, carling, fosters all cheap muck i just stay away from it you can always get good deals on crates of Stella, Heinken and Bud so i prefer to spend the little extra on them. As for cider its only for kids who go knacker drinking in the field and get in the horrors after 1 can :lol: :lol:
