The first big pint of Guinness when I arrived in Belfast two weeks ago was necter. Pure necter. Creamy, rich and without a hint of bitterness (which is what Guinness outside Ireland usually tastes like).

Some of the beers in the Platinum Brewery in Seoul are pretty good.

Anything as long as it's not Hite, Cass or OB.

Or American 'lite' beer. What's the point of that stuff anyway? Do Americans drink it so they can drive home and still be under the limit?

Eamo,

The "Once in a Blue Moon" has pints of Guinness on tap "without a hint of bitterness" with all that creamy, richness that mom used to make.

Where is Platinum Brewery? I was very under whelmed with the microbrewery at COEX food court on the first floor (ground level) when it first started a year back.

I actually kinda want to have a real Irishman taste the Guinness on tap at the afore mentioned place, and give it the official approval because I'm kinda curious how they can import a liquid, draft beer, without it going bad on the ship ride over.

A pint of Hoegaarden on a hot summer day (preferably served with a slice of orange at one of the pubs on the waterfront in Stanley, HK) is a pretty damn fine beer.

Whenever I make it back home, my first ice cold Okanagan Spring Pale Ale or 1516 Lager also rank high on Best Beers Ever.



And if you've never tried it: Cobra beer (India).

a litre of German Bockbier in a monastery near Munich after a one hour hike up a mountain. Refreshing and so strong (the monks brew it strong and full of nutrients because it's all they can have over Lent, liquid breakfast, dinner and tea) - I was almost floating on the way down the mountain to go home

I like the taste of lower alcohol beer. 4% is good. But 5% and up starts to taste bad in my opinion.

Deschutte's Microbrewery in Oregon make a yearly ale called Jubelaile that is out of this world. It's a nice malty beer with enough hops to knock you out after three of them. If you can find a pub with it on tap, you're in heaven.

Agreed! However, my personal favourite is Newcastle Brown Ale. It is sold in Korea in 330ml bottles as opposed to the huge sized bottles we get back home. It is also 10,000WON for the priviledge

The first Kokanee I'd ever had, twenty years ago, before it went national, at a summer party in the Shuswaps, north of where it was brewed exclusively as a local regional beer.

But my first "dry" beer was something special too, Dragon Dry, consumed in my girlfriend's backyard, poolside, on a scorching afternoon chilling with her, her sis and her sis's main squeeze.

Yet I don't like beer much, so those fond memories stand out.

I am forever haunted by Killer Miller's behind the local roller skating rink.

I'm also a malt liquor picka, but that's for another thread, I suppose.
