Like Leffe! The champagne of beers

I really like La Chouffe, with regards to Continental beers.

I don't like beer. I might drink a Guinness from time to time, but I don't consider it beer, since I like _that_. I just saw that Arden was here and called me a post-count-hunter! Ha! Oh well... The days gone by... I remember that at some point, I actually tried to answer every post of Arden in a helpful way. I think I managed to that for an hour before I finally gave up, because he already had advanced too quickly. :P

About the online chat thingie... It's very crowded, sometimes, too. When we know Steve Jobs gets on a stage somewhere and are accumulating every little bit of information we can get out of the closed doors. Usually, that's the case for WWDC, MWSF and AppleExpo Paris keynotes.

I tend to go for a rather ballsy ale. Arrogant Bastard Ale
does it for me, these days. 7.2% alcohol, not too shabby. And a bold, complex finish.

speaking of good brew check the story on the below site concerning Budweiser (the Germans call it Spulwasser...dishwater) and the Anheuser-Busch's problems as sponsers during the World Cup.

How DARE you mention that tasteless filth in a conversation devoted to real beers?

Skullsplitter (8.5%) was one I tried out of curiosity at a Real Ale Festival here. I remember Titanic Stout too, complete with a fairly blunt warning in the brochure about the effects of drinking too much stout...

I tend to find that in your average pub (i.e. with a less diverse range) I will go for any Hook Norton beer, Abbot Ale, Wadworth 6X, or sometimes London Pride. I often like Wychwood's bottled beers, too.

Here in Sheffield, we have a pub called "The Frog & Parrot", which has its own micro-brewery attached.

Their strongest, "Roger and Out" is (I think) about 12.5% and if it still isn't, it was, at least, in the Guinness Book of Records some years back as the world's strongest commercially available beer!
