I like a bottled, unpasteurised ale, served at room temperature. I dont drink Guinness unless it has a drop of raspberry cordial in it, and most pubs dont do that anymore. By the way, all Irish people recognise that tragic look of illusions dashed that comes on the faces of our American visitors when we take them to have a Guinness and they realise it's served unchilled (or 'hot' as one particularly disillusioned guest put it).

He's very fussy. We once had a beer made only in Nova Scotia (Alexander Keiths) until it was bought by Molson.

Most American just want to drink swill.<br /><br />Rikki, well the Germans are certainly known for their fine beers..<br /><br />and Sandy, I am sure Polish beer is very nice, but the <i>best</i>. I am not sure about that...lol<br /><br />BethF, if you look at the selection in the top picture, there is a Belgian beer, a bottle conditioned imported beer with a CORK! some people buying beer in the beer aisle at the liquor store recommended it.caitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05824538078958999767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-29209998962332552492010-07-03T11:13:57.221-04:002010-07-03T11:13:57.221-04:00OMG - I laughed out loud at the wee Caite story!!
...OMG - I laughed out loud at the wee Caite story!!<br /><br />I prefer wine - but I do enjoy a GOOD beer too. I also hate the American brands as they are too watery. I tend to only drink micro-brews. For me that means Boulevard in Kansas City.<br /><br />I am learning to acquire a taste for hops. I typically enjoy Wheat Beer - but Ales are starting to grow me.<br /><br />Hope you have a nice bottle (or two or three) this holiday weekend :)Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08414201637917215413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-55839176504172819072010-07-03T11:08:43.484-04:002010-07-03T11:08:43.484-04:00Hooray for the female of the species!

Give me a Belgium beer (I mean in Belgium) of almost any type and I'll happily drink it. The Guinness I've had in the UK is nice but a little to heavy for my tates.<br /><br />In the U.S., I don't drink beer.
