    I’m quite partial to imported beers.

    My favorites are:

    Best beer ever. Every time I drink it I’m taken aback by how good it is. And the guy looks like me, which is a plus.

    McEwan’s Scotch Ale. It’s like drinking a beer and a scotch. Great stuff.

    A black and tan. Sure it is kind of gimmicky, but I think it’s better than the sum of its parts. I like Guinness and Bass, but combined, they’re just something really special.

    Franziskaner Dunkel Hefe-Weisse. It has that flowery and yeasty flavor of a wheat beer but isn’t too light.

    Black & Tan is a very good drink indeed. Franziskaner is not really my thing. My favourite beer in the UK is Black Witch, a local Yorkshire brew, with Tolly Cobbold bitter, from Oxford, coming in a close second. Cheers!

    I’ll have to look out for those. I’ve never heard of them. What kind of beers is Black Witch? By the name I’d guess that it’s a stout. I’m not sure if Tolly Cobbold would be up my alley, I generally have trouble drinking really hoppy beers. I prefer more malty flavors combined and smoother textures (as is probably evident from my selection of favorite beers)

    I understand not liking Franziskaner. I kind of think Hell Hefe-Weisse is sort of a girl’s beer. But Dunkel is a nice trade-off.

    Yes, Black Witch is a bit like stout, with a slightly bitter tang in the background. Tolly Cobbold is a very hoppy brew, light in taste, thirst-quenching and perfect for summer.
    Another very excellent and strange Yorkshire beer is No Eye Deer of which I recently descended several pints in a pub called the Rose and Crown up on the dales outside Huddersfield.
    If you like dark beers, I recommend Pelforth Brune, Haake Beck Dunkel and Solveg 19.

    I dont drink bear anymore but when I did it was Becks, Lowenbrau, Carlsberg, Grolsch, Budweiser, Corona, Miller, Coopers Sparkling ale. And of course Coopers homebrew ales.

    I pretty much only drink Stolichnaya Vodka straight/shots now.

    Here is the No Eye Deer beer label…and it tastes pretty much the way the deer looks! Great fun to drink, but takes a couple of pints to get used to.

    I like the strong Belgians, like Rochefort 10 or Delirium Tremens, and am also a big fan of Czech beer (Pilsner Urquell, real Budweiser, Gambrinus) but I drink the local béier most of the time: Mousel, Diekirch, Bofferding, Simon etc. :thumb:

    Here is a wonderful beer for drinking on a hot, sultry summer day in the big city.
