Leffe Belgian beer. Has a very hoppy taste to them if you have never tried.

For those that have tried, what does everyone think?

I can't get enough of it at the moment.

I havent tasted this but give me a nice pint of Wife beater aka Stella Artois.

Who fancys a bit of Reg then? It'd better not be Reg!

I'd rather have a pint of Guinness..

[Amir]

Not a big fan myself.  Better than hoegaarden mind.  Used to have a Belgian housemate, so drank a few Belgian beers with him.  Juplier I quite liked, although as someone on here pointed out it's one of the cheaper ones.

As a side note, don't put lime in my bottle of Corona please barkeep, it's to keep flies out.  Also, Magner's comes with a full glass of ice.  Lager top should be banned, have a shandy if that's what you want.  Red stripe's probably my favourite lager.  That is all.

Hoegaarden is nice but it's dead expensive and I doubt I'd be able to drink more than two pints without feeling like I'd swallowed Richard Branson's air balloon.

Who serves Red Stripe round here?

[Amir]

Only ever been to a couple of places that had it on tap, can't remember either though.  Thekla used to sell it in tins.  Oh, and they sell it everywhere at carnival :advercool:

[BrightonRed]

There are plenty of places that serve premium lagers like Red Stripe and San Miguel round here because they know they can charge £3.05 a pint and people accept it.  :evil:
Brighton: Fantastic place, but so fucking expensive.

[Amir]

One of my mates moved back from Brighton about a year ago and is missing it now it's summer.  It pissed down both times I've been, once for some music that never happened, and the other time shan't be mentioned.

[McLovin]

Most corner shops in town sell Red Stripe, and Bar Cuba used to do it on tap, but alas no more.

Thankful this one was still open

It's nuts to see how many off this thread alone no longer post or don't have accounts (or maybe new ones/got locked out).

Anyway cold crisp Japanese Beer for me, usually Asahi coupled with Thai Crackers (proper ones, the Hanami ones aren't bad).

Efes Draft (when in Turkey but also get the bottles here which are as close as having one over there) coupled with a pot of Whitebaits.

Coral Lager, from Madeira. More of a Pilsner with a smoother bubble and a light lunch of an Espada Preta (or the "uglier" English name of Black Scabbard) sandwich.

What are your International Beers (that you don't generally see on tap here) of choice, along with a favourite foreign accompanying snack(s)?

its 'funny' to read Brighton Red having a moan about having to pay over £3 for a pint. (granted it was 16 years ago) I suspect when the pubs do get back to normal at some stage later this year he'll be paying over £6,£6.50 for his beer.

Random one, but on a Monday evening I play Zoom Poker with a couple of old friends from Luxembourg and back in London and I enjoy 2 bottles (330ml) of Warsteiner Pils. Given this is barely over a pint of liquid I need to go for a piss circa 6-8 times during the night, including every 20 minutes or so after going to bed. I don't seem to have this problem when drinking over a bottle of wine during the evening. Is the issue the carbonation perhaps?

Anyway Bamboo to 'answer' your question, I love Asahi, such a crisp tasty beer. I have gone off Efes a little bit, in Turkey I prefer to have Tuborg.

I always go for Tuborg when I am in Sweden or Denmark as it's a local beer it's a lot cheaper then the imported beers like Bud. However my favourite foreign beer has to be Estrella, that is a really nice clean and tasty pint, they do it on tap in the Glue Pot, it does annoy me a bit that Estrella is never on the 3 for £5/£6 deals in Tesco when i go in there.

Other foreign lagers of note are Staropamen, Budweiser Budvarand Pilsner Urquell, all of which are czech but are a decent beer.

Czech Rep and Germany you can't go too far wrong. I still like dark lagers, but very hard to get over here.  Much easier in central Europe.
