I love Old Peculier.  Never heard of Summer Lighting, I'll have to look around for that one.  I take it it's a seasonal beer and only available for the summer months?

Maybe it's simply down to which you tasted first. I was brought up on wine and cider. They say beer is an acquired taste. Maybe I never bothered acquiring myself to it properly.

Any cider drinkers here?


My wife is a huge cider fan.

A hot day is the perfect time for an ice cold beer.  Not a heavy, dark beer like a stout or an ale, but a lager would be ideal or if you're so inclined a pilsner will do the trick.  A mellow Mexican beer like Corona or Pacifico are perfect on hot days. especially with a slice of lime.  So cheer up Ghost Rider, you can still drink no matter how hot it gets!!  Wink

You're the first person to ask me about my Portuguese emblem.  Well, I'm half-Portugese (my mom is from Portugal), also I'm for Portugal in the World Cup so I thought I would show my pride.  I don't think they will win the Cup, but will be rooting for them anyway.  Smile

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Beer. Especially brown ale, pale ale, german weiss bier and hefeweizen, and an array of Belgian abbys whatever I may find when I go abroad, because in my country there is not developed a culture of beer. We produce only light lager, and mostly poor quality.
 
Wine is fine, especially red I like.

If you want attention, give Hemispheres by Rush one star or make offenses against beer drinkers ("sleazy metalheads"), again somebody succeeded to feel fine by giving negative attention .. this regressive behaviour enters more and more this site, shall we act together by ignoring ridiculous posts (if these don't are hidden parodies or cynism Wink ) ?

Beer. I like wine, but I just prefer beer. Beer also goes better with curry and chinese; fish and chips; steak pie and gravy; Mexican or chilli. Wine goes better with French cuisine; subtle Italian flavours; cheese and biscuits. Heck, guess I'm just a slob at heart.

And of my two favourite keyboardists, Wakeman is - or was - a beer man, Emerson went for wine, so er...hic.....
