"Let The Board Decide #10: Best beer?"

Been ages since I did once of these, so long in fact that ten might not be accurate.

Anyway, as above, best beer?

I've been drinking lots of Coors lately, but my favourite remains Miller.

Castlemaine or Fosters, easily.

I can't remember where I was, but I'm sure I was in a pub with NOTHING decent on tap. No Fosters (the cornerstone of EVERY pub, surely) no Stella, no Carlsberg. I had to drink Carling, which at the time I hated.

I still dislike it, to be fair, but I can drink it when I have to.

I'm liking Carlsberg Export at the moment. Has to be Export though as the regular stuff is naff.

Here's my alcohol evolution:

Bacardi Breezers (aged 16, because it tastes like fruit juice!)
Vodka and Coke (because it tastes like Coke! A bit!)
Labatts Ice (during the 1998 World Cup, because it was cheap)
Budweiser (because it was nice)
Pints of Stella (because it was cheaper per gallon than Bud)
Pints of Carling (again, cheaper and makes me less violent)

I had a pint of Kronenberg Blanc last night, and still can't make up my mind whether it was nice or not. Part of me thinks it was one of the nicest pints I've ever drunk in my life, and part of me just thinks it was like someone poured half a J20 in my glass. It's a bit fruity, but it's got a hell of a kick. And it's probably about £3 a pint, too.

There's a crate of Stella in my garage, not sure who's it is. I think I'll get some for myself, and some Guinness, and some vodka. Great minds think alike.

My shopping trip today:

24 bottles of Stella
16 (I think) cans of Guiness
Litre of Vodka

And I have nearly a litre of Jack Daniels in the cupboard.
Think I'll start getting into it tonight.

Agreed, I've reaquired my taste for Stella lately. It's great for when you're just having a pint or two. Terrible for getting drunk on, the aftertaste and hangover the next day are really bad. Sometimes I order it out of habit, then realise I've already have five and I should probably move on to something lighter.

I used to drink it down the local dive. It tasted wonderful. Until they cleaned the lines, which apparantly hadn't been done for over a year. It never tasted the same to me again after that. I'll still insist that stella isn't so much as brewed as made, much the same way that white cider has never seen hide nor hair of any apple thingymabobs.

Yup. Fosters is on an even keel. Lager flavored pish water. Miller I'd prefer out of the two, as at least Miller is full of sugar, and you'll get a sugar buzz at the minimum.
