| 1135955 | 2010-09-24 22:18:00 | Well, sorry about that outburst! :blush: Anyway, lately we have been staying with a friend near Windermere. (snip Tried Jennings Sneck Lifter yesterday (who thinks up these names?) a dark almost Stout like beer with a fair punch (5.1%) Coniston Bluebird Bitter is also very good. (snip Her Indoors was born in Whitehaven and her family came from Egremont, so we have spent a bit of time in Cumbria on our trips to Britain. One of the pubs in St Bees (where we stayed) was a Jennings pub. Hence a few pints of Jennings have been imbibed. Good beer, and you can get it easily in NZ - Sneck Lifter at least - but unfortunately I always find the bottles less satisfying than off the pump. This thread is not doing me any good at all... |

| 1135957 | 2010-09-26 18:15:00 | As a fully trained beer brewer (no, I'm not doing it any more) I followed this thread with interest. During my training I also trained on tasting other international beers to enhance your nose and taste buds. I've tasted beers from all over the world (yes, I agree that they all came from a bottle and are therefore not the same as freshly poured) but based on that, I considered the German beers to be the best. You could taste every ingredient in it. I did not like the British beers a lot, for the same reason a lot of the elderly lads here like it - it was never served at a temperature I liked, and it was too flat. Czech beer was also good, and the worst of the lot was the American cr*ppola. By the way, I agree that Lion Red and DB is pure cr*p. I have yet to drink a pint of Lion Red and not have an upset stomach. Steinies I don't rate, but I do rate Monteiths, and they do make such a good beer with a honey flavour (can't remember the name). I any case, my beer drinking days are over so it will remain fond memories. These days my favourite tipple is red wine (due to health reasons I refrain from imbibing beer any more). sarel |
