Wind up,surely ?

Only if people bite.

[old-timer]

The best beer available everywhere in Udon is Leo with a glass full of ice, the worst beers are the ones that are out of date. OT is happy to drink any kind of lager I'm really not fussy. Corona or San mig light with a slice of lime stuffed into the kneck of the bottle is my favourite nowdays. Burp!

OT.....................

Yes,Theakstons XB takes some beating......wasnt there talk of Chern Chim trying to get it in stock ?.....maybe I'm wrong.

I would have to say,if price is not an issue,it would definitely be Guinness draught.I must agree with Jackspratt that after the first(large)one the taste isn't that important.That's why living here,I tend to drink that first one rather quickly.That being said,the taste of that first Guinness draught is one to be savored.

To me nothing can compare with a well poured pint of Guinness draught,as shown in this you-tube video.

I wasn't going to nominate a "beer", but Bronco's post reminded of one I used to drink in Perth a number of years ago - unfortunately it was very hard to get.

Beamish Draft from the tap was an excellent drop, and the cans weren't all that bad either. I certainly preferred it to Guiness

Regarding proper temp to serve, I ran across this on the Net:

With all the different styles found in the world of beer, the question of serving temperature comes up fairly often. There are, however, very few absolute truths when it comes to proper serving temperature. Individual drinkers will have individual preferences and these might vary quite a bit from the generally accepted norms. So mainly this guide will focus on the accepted norms, and you as the drinker can take them to heart to any degree you wish.

The first thing that should be addressed, however, are two very common myths. The first is that beer needs to be served very cold. The macrobrewers want you to believe this, and here’s why. The sensation of coldness inhibits the tongue’s taste receptors. Since macrobrews started positioning their products based on any feature they could imagine besides taste, the need to neutralize taste became important. An alcohol delivery system doesn’t need taste. In fact, taste usually gets in the way. A cold refresher could be anything, and in fact alternatives like soda, iced tea or water generally have a less offensive taste than macrobrew. So again, numbing those tastebuds is important. As for what beer marketers mean when they say a beer “has a cold taste”, your guess is as good as ours. So no, beer doesn’t need to be near frozen. Good beer in fact should not be near frozen.

The other myth is that English beer is served at room temperature, or “warm”. It’s not. It is served at cellar temperature, which is between 12-14C. Room temperature is 21C. That’s a big difference.

Beer is best served in between “ice cold” and room temperature. There are a lot of generalization made about beers of different colours, most of which are false. However, when it comes to temperature, colour seems to make a big difference. Lighter-coloured beers are generally best served cold. At the warmest end are the big, dark beers like Quadrupels, Imperial Stouts and Barley Wines. At cellar temperature are English-style beers and in the middle is just about everything else.

Very cold (0-4C/32-39F): Any beer you don’t actually want to taste. Pale Lager, Malt Liquor, Canadian-style Golden Ale and Cream Ale, Low Alcohol, Canadian, American or Scandinavian-style Cider.

Cold (4-7C/39-45F): Hefeweizen, Kristalweizen, Kölsch, Premium Lager, Pilsner, Classic German Pilsner, Fruit Beer, brewpub-style Golden Ale, European Strong Lager, Berliner Weisse, Belgian White, American Dark Lager, sweetened Fruit Lambics and Gueuzes, Duvel-types

Cool (8-12C/45-54F): American Pale Ale, Amber Ale, California Common, Dunkelweizen, Sweet Stout, Stout, Dry Stout, Porter, English-style Golden Ale, unsweetened Fruit Lambics and Gueuzes, Faro, Belgian Ale, Bohemian Pilsner, Dunkel, Dortmunder/Helles, Vienna, Schwarzbier, Smoked, Altbier, Tripel, Irish Ale, French or Spanish-style Cider

Cellar (12-14C/54-57F): Bitter, Premium Bitter, Brown Ale, India Pale Ale, English Pale Ale, English Strong Ale, Old Ale, Saison, Unblended Lambic, Flemish Sour Ale, Bière de Garde, Baltic Porter, Abbey Dubbel, Belgian Strong Ale, Weizen Bock, Bock, Foreign Stout, Zwickel/Keller/Landbier, Scottish Ale, Scotch Ale, American Strong Ale, Mild, English-style Cider

Warm (14-16C/57-61F): Barley Wine, Abt/Quadrupel, Imperial Stout, Imperial/Double IPA, Doppelbock, Eisbock, Mead

Hot (70C/158F): Quelque Chose, Liefmans Glühkriek, dark, spiced winter ales like Daleside Morocco Ale.

When I was 16,in 1957, my Parents took on a Robinson Brewery Pub in Hyde, Ches. They sold Old Tom in a small wooden barrel , sat on the bar.....in those days the ale was that strong, that they could only sell 2 gills to anyone in one session. 2 Gills = 1/2 Pint =270 cc approx. It was only sold in the winter. I tried it once...had headache for 2 days.

Anyone tried "Sink the Bismark" (41% ABV), or "Tactical Nuclear Penguin" (32% ABV) from the Scottish microbrewery, Brew Dog?

Not strong enough? How about "The End of History", a mind numbing 55% ABV !!! Perportedly the strongest beer in the world!
