    In a pub I'll always opt for Guinness but at home its hard to beat Duvel although it is very expensive compared to other premium lagers. In saying that it is 8.5% and tastes better than the majority of household names. Kronenberg is about the only other European beer worth buying IMO. Corona specials always go down well in my household too.

    Any other good brands I'm missing out on??

    Now there is a blast from the past,who was not rared on this back in the early/mid 90s I remember buying this as it was the only can that was under a pound I think it was 99p on in some shops 89p...

    Kids these days don't understand the difficulty we had growing up pre Celtic Tiger.

    Arthur is the only one for me.
    Used to drink Bud but became allergic to it and there was me thinking I was building up a tolerance to it.

    Smithwicks is your only man. I used to drink pints of Harp, Bud and all that dung and me head would be bustin the next day. 7 or 8 pints of Smithwicks and the affect is almost nil the next day.

    Other than that I would drink bottles of Miller or Corano and as I like Italian Restaurants, I have some of the Italian gear, Peroni or Nastro Assuro.

    Corona for me when I'm out or pints of heinken.
    The nicest beer for me was a pilsner of some sorts I had in germany some years back can't remember the name.(apparently they have stricter controls on chemicals they can use in their beer).
    Erdinger I have tried but its not for me.

    Six cans of Dutch Gold for a Fiver reminds me of the good old days ;)




    Must admit, I'll drink most beers, but over the years it's tended to be:

    Pints of either Guinness / Heiniken (although Miller has been getting a look in of late, given the Heiniken can be a bit inconsistent). Like the German beers, but generally find I get pretty hammered on them (faster than on other beers, I mean ;))

    Bottles: Miller, Corona or most other bottled beers on special offer in Tesco are usually found in my fridge :D
