A good cold continental lager - Stella is good, but latest favourite is a beer called Veltins.

Yeti575

It's got to be an ice cold bottle of Stella, or Grolsch, or 1664, or Export, or Carling etc,etc,etc!!

Surf-Matt

Skinners Betty Stoggs for most occasions.

Becks Vier when in lager mode (very rarely)

Laphroig when it spirits mode (also rarely)

A variety of old world wines to suit the right food when eating.

Drinking is BRILLIANT!

Do like Vier, nice tasting for a lowish strength lager.

Alcohol is good: it is a preservative, so keeps you young looking ;-)

Bikedevil

Newcastle Brown, nowt be'r tha' a bottle of dog.

That Inniss and Gunn is tasty stuff, but for me it's Black Sheep Riggwelter.

I've started drinking a lot more lager than I used to when I go out, mainly because the bitter in a lot of bars just sits in the pipes for weeks and tastes like gash, but I go for the continental stuff if I can and avoid the Carling/Fosters piss water.

I do like a nice camp bottle of rose wine to get me started off on a night out!

Riggwelter is lethal! But goooooood.

currently having a bottle of Youngs Double Chocolate Stout.

love the concept of drinking modes

For me it's a nice cold bottle of Budweiser, never used to like lager, always drank bitter (or mild when I was a student, cheaper and not so strong), until a holiday in the Canaries. Tastes better out of a bottle too, don't know why just does.

Like a nice glass of red as well, preferably new world, trouble is the missus hardly drinks so if I open a bottle I have to finish it all :shock:

For spirits mode it'd be Edradour single malt, b*gger to get hold of, can only get it in the distillery in Pitlochry, Selfridges in London, the houses of parliment (they do a special one for the House of lords) and for some weird reason Byrnes wine merchants in Clitheroe (which handily enough is where I work, Clitheroe not Byrnes).

my local has a full selection of Edradour, still not desiced on it though. need to try more of them.

CraigXXL

Pint Guiness, unless it's boiling hot then it's an ice cold Bulmers dry Cider. Spirit has got to be a Bushmills single malt in double measures.

Also got a thing for Mojito's at the moment don't knock it til you've tried it.

Stumpyjon, I had a nice Edradour malt last night from the Un-chill filtered collection, nice but no Bushmills. Picked it up 2 years ago at Pitlochry.

Surf-Matt

Mojitos are nice - but rarely made with the proper cachasa (sp?) rum - which they should be.

Stumpyjon - very important to drink the right booze at the right time.
Two cans of cold Vier went down a treat yesterday on a sunny secluded beach accessible only by boat 8) Bit burnt today though :oops:

On a hot day after a good ride you can't beat a decent cold lager.
If just going to the pub for a few then real ale is always good. Love the tim taylors landloard.
Spirits wise I don't have very often but always like to have a bottle of Absinthe in for those special occasions.

Just bought me 2 bottles of black sheep, good stuff, quite stong and deceptive for an ale, it has a dark coffee/chocolate taste to me cheers for that another favourite added.

miss notax

Well, just to add a girlie view to the discussion.... can't beat a G&T (Gordons of course ) or a good glass of wine. Or a nice glass of Pimms in the summer, with strawberries and mint

A chilled beer ocassionally, but i'm not used to drinking it anymore and such a lightweight that it generally gets rather messy.... :oops:

Surf-Matt

Naah - Bombay Saphire is nicer!

mtb.boy

Brakspear Triple

mmm.

Dazzza

Oh god i tried that one along with the black sheep riggwelter.

Very strong for an ale but very very nice, dammit gonna buy a couple methinks.

ride_whenever

pint of discovery or decent local cider,

glass of pimms at henley, but you have to take out a morgage against your kidney to afford it!

or ardbeg renaissance if i want something a bit stiff.

Quite fond of 42 below too

and the sliver mercedes at the living room in oxford, a cocktail made with mango sorbet, it is to die for!

Bones!!

supersonic

sparrowlegs78

I love Adams Ale

Amos

Guiness, or some Real Ale.

I can't hack drinking beers like Fosters, Stella, Carlsberg much anymore, too much fizz!
