    ...We just brewed a chocolate peanut-butter brown ale...

    Peanut-butter? That sounds amazing.

    Really fancy a pint of Hobgoblin tonight... alas it will not be due to lack of exercise calories due to a stiff painful back at the moment.

    Pick me, pick me! I love a good dark flavorful pint. If I can see through it, or there's no flavor, I don't want it.

    Right here! I leave a solid 200 calories every other day for my brew. I love Yard's. Best IPA's from anywhere. If I'm pushing it calorie- wise for the day, I'll settle for a stout

    My boyfriend and I currently have 4 ales and one lager happily "bubbling away" in our beer cellar as we speak...along with a 7-tap kegerator in which to place them when they are finished brewing. So yeah, I'm thinking I could be counted in your "real ale drinkers" here. LOL!

    Not the biggest beer drinker, but the correct answer is porter.

    I love ale and hate lager.

    While growing up, I didn't think I liked beer. Most of what was served were various inexpensive lagers.
    Occasionally, I would have a beer that I loved, but I never paid attention to it because it was such a rare occurrence.
    I didn't realize the common denominator was "ale" until I was 40.

    I'm an American drinker of real beers -mostly ales, but no IPA- cream ale, Scotch ale, porter, stout, Belgian, hefeweizen, black lager, oktoberfest... I don't want to start a controversy, but I think hops are a travesty.
    No controversy there - you are simply wrong :laugh: :drinker:

    I'm English, but live in the States. I missed my English bitter so much I had to start making it. I have an English IPA cask conditioning now for a festival in a few weeks, but normally I force carbonate for personal consumption. So shoot me CAMRA. I can't drink 5 gallons fast enough on my own to keep it fresh if I don't.

    I also have a Pliny the Elder clone going that'll be ready to drink soon. American IIPA = LOTS of hops. Yum.

    Course, I also love doing "research" on different beers and different styles.

    Years ago i made home brew lager, and it really was lush, the highly advertised stuff is just not in same league and I guess the popularity of it amongst the young is down to advertising & not taste

    All around beer lover here. I enjoy ales, lagers, wheat beers, well... basically all of it. I tried to make a list of my favorite styles and ended up just listing all of them. The only kind of beer I don't drink is light beer - I figure that if I wanted a glass of soda, I could get a sprite and put vodka into it in that case.


    In addition to drinking craft beers, I brew my own. I'm actually enjoying a nice homebrew bock as I write this :drinker:

    Not had that one, but I do think time & place have an influence on perception, your pint by Thames as an example, for instance in a grim, dank boozer, on a wet Wednesday, near an industrial estate, close to Slough, would it still rate high?

    Possibly, but I know sitting in sunshine, looking over Portsmouth harbour my HSB is more rewarding than same in grotty local boozer, even if grotty local boozer's is £1.45 cheaper
