Beer
In recent years, we have rediscovered a taste for good beer. After a lifetime of rubbish like Scotch and Tartan ( include any others.you like in the list) we've tasted many varieties.

Have a can of Special Brew and you won't care about pretty much anything.

Re: Beer
M taste in beer has deteriorated in recent years.
I used to enjoy a bitter (or heavy), but now prefer a Bud or Estrella.
I can still take a Guinness though.

Odd thing, ain't it... you meet people one at a time, they seem decent, they got brains that work, and then they get together and you hear the voice of the people. And it snarls.

Re: Beer
Ive not had a proper beer in years (long story) but have been pleasantly surprised by the quality & range of the low/no alcohol stuff available now. Current favourite is Free Damm from the makers of Estrella.
Re: Beer
Surely the whole point of beer is that it is alcoholic, ie it gets you pissed or at least gives you a buzz..
No alcohol beer is a drink that tastes like beer but with no side effects, just drink water or have a nice cup of tea..

Re: Beer
My son has a few alcohol free favourite beers.
I hate tasteless beer/lager, that's why I've been happy to find decent 'craft' beers in recent years.
We like to have a different drink in the evenings after a million cups of tea during the day. It's the taste, not the alcohol content we go for these days.

Re: Beer
You'll just have to go for Highlander from Loch Fyne sis. Get a cask for Christmas perhaps?
During my forays in Plymouth I have discovered Haze Cider ( I know this is a beer thread, but) and I'm very glad they sell it in my local supermarket as it's rather tasty.
