Thread Name: Real Ale v Lager
Subject: RE: Real Ale v Lager
I don't mind a pint or two of "Real Ale" although I have drunk some that seem to have travelled through the landlords kidneys before it came to me . I can also enjoy a pint of English Keg Beer and in the Boston area of the U.S.I like a Sam Adams .I'm easy. What pisses me off is the Real Ale brigade constantly bangin' on about how great a paticular real ale is as opposed to the mass produced stuff!. I travel to Stockton-on -Tees once a year to visit an old shipmate who is prepared to travel miles to some obscure pub to drink one pint of "Old Dogs Bollocks" or some other quaintly named beer. Personally I like the ol' pint of Smithwicks here in Ireland. I have even sampled it in America !But beware!it was vile!.
Local beers in Austria are generally fine.No after taste and no hangovers !
