I'm not a fan of ciders either, they give me terrible heartburn! Too acidy I think. Not really keen on fruity, non-berry ales, either. I like hoppy and a little bite.

I have a few faves at the minute - "Spitfire" which is brewed in Kent in the UK, "O.S.B" by the Tomas Watkins brewery in Wales and I'm very fond of a beer called "Bitter and Twisted" from the Harviestoun Brewery in Scotland (which is a bit ironic, as I'm generally annoyingly cheerful).

I tried a beautiful beer in Vancouver, and I can't remember the name of it. It was a honey beer, and was seemingly a very popular one. Can any of the Canadians maybe give some suggestions? I believe I'll remember it if I see the name!

how potent have you gone? Mine was 10.5 percent.

I tend to avoid potent lol... my tolerance isn't great, and I don't want to get drunk too quick!

I had one from our local microbrewery, "Tempest", called World's end I think that was 7.5% a couple of weeks ago, I was buzzed before I even finished the first pint! Amstel is Dutch- I think they're actually owned by Heineken, and Carling is a British beer. Not a lager fan, personally. Prefer my real ales!

If it was a canadian beer I'm willing to bet it was likely Granville Island Brewery's cypress honey Lager?

My favorite "everyday" beer is probably Boulevard Pale Ale. It's not too bitter, not too strong and goes down nice and smooth. :wink:

Nice which brewery was it? I like drinking local beers lately. The one I mentioned was the ten fidy brew from oskar blues in colorado

Boulevard is a regional brewer in Kansas City MO. They make lotsa good brews.

Diamond Bear in Little Rock AR brews a good Pale Ale and IPA as well.

Colorado makes a good pale ale too. But those sound great

too bad molsen golden isn't available in western washington, it [according to consumer reports] was everything i'd want in a beer- stout body but mellow [non-bitter] and very malty. michelob honey-brewed lager was a close second. the old formulation of dox equis was a tie, i liked its dark thick maltiness. for an anodyne but refreshing [non-bitter] refreshment, nothing can beat keystone light. i fail to get why some people find bitter drinks to be delicious. bitter to me tastes like dirt.

I can't stand it. It just tastes odd; I dunno how I can come to like it, or why people drink it! Eh....
