Your favorite pint !!

[Big Ramy 1314]

I posted this question years ago I think, but times change, new members, and we get older.. So here is the question. What is your favorite or preferred pint these days?

I was on Strongbow cider for years, before that , there was a Scottish Pub here in Ottawa that served Tartan Special, loved it...

So I quit drinking for a good while, but now I enjoy the occasional pint, and I must say that I only ever have the one kind.. I good pint of Guinness !!  I just love it. Think before I drank for the effect, and misses the taste half the time😉, but I truely appreciate a good pint of Guinness now !! 

So what about Yee's, what is your pleasure, seeing there is so much more selection now, I Cannae keep up !!!

"Skol, Skol, Skol, Skol..." 🎶

Some people sneer at Tennants but a well kept, well poured pint of Tennants is as perfectly decent lager.

They've a special edition Pilsner version out at the moment, which is nothing like the newts pish version they brought out in the '90s (if anyone remembers it!), it's actually a very decent attempt at a proper Bavarian Pilsner. 

The lassies on the cans were unfortunately before my time though (wasn't that one Carol Smillie's first modelling gigs?).

Cheers and Happy Christmas all!

😄 I've no seen that anywhere for about 20 years!

[Grim Jim]

Happy Christmas folks!

Probably McEwan's 80/-, but hardly find it on draught these days.   A lot of pubs don't do a heavy at all, so if I have to resort to lager, Tenant's is fine.   Lager is just lager (most of the time).

I'd rather try whatever guest ales a pub has.   Favourite so far was a chocolate coconut stout, but can't remember the brewery 😣

[Big Ramy 1314]

Forgot to mention. If I don't fancy a Guinness, I love a pint of Shocktop, don't know if you get it in Scotland.

And of course, don't mind a pint of tennents when I'm mad with it mood !! 😂😂

[Malcolm]

moeretti would be my choice.

[Big Ramy 1314]

Haha. Remember ma wee mum telling me she drank this in the 60's... I tried it, it's boggin..😂

My local used to sell it on draught. Was good stuff, and over a euro cheaper than yer Irish standard - Heineken.

They replaced the Tuborg with Becks as their 'cheapo option' and it's even better

Becks or Becks Vier?

Becks is my favourite beer. It's unique and I can't think of anything remotely similar to it, but I can't remember the last time I ever saw it on tap. Probably when Scotland played in Bremen in 1999.

 

#1 Beer - Becks

#1 Cider - Angry Orchard or maybe Thistley Cross.

I don't know how anyone can get past the smell of it 

One of my pals used to drink bottles of becks all the time on holiday and i could only take it if was freezing cold

Maybe it's just me as i'm not a fan of bottled lager at all

Well, I'm convinced an ice-cold Becks tastes better from the bottle. Nothing else like it.
