Got thoroughly embarassing on Tennents Super Lager ( WORST BEER )
When living in England, I bought 3 cans of Tennents Super and some cider, for a quiet drink after work..................................................... Not to sure what happened after that!!!
I formed a new group called Alcoholics-Unanimous. If you don't feel like a drink, you ring another member and he comes over to persuade you.
tommo,
The beer in portugal was probably either Super Bock or crystal, lived there for a few years and when its the only beer they have you acquire a taste, but it's not much cop!
One of my favorites was after a tour of the heineken brewery in Amsterdam, blah blah blah. It all comes down to the atmosphere I think that makes some beers memorable.

The best beer(s) I have had were after my 3 Children were born.
My daughter was born at 11pm at night, left hospital at 1pm and sat by myself at home and had numerous beers. I think it was a TED at the time.
My son was born at 9.00 on 31/12/1998. My wife told me to go to the New Years Party at my Mums........what a night that was, I had a combination of Beer, Scotch and whatever you can think of. Finished at 4.00am.
My 3rd child, another boy was born at 3.08pm (Holden Fan here), went home at 6.00pm and cracked a HB, Coopers Lager I think.
Couldn't have too many as I had to take the kids back to the hospital at 7.00pm.

A homebrew is like a fart, only the brewer thinks it's great.
Give me a flying headbutt.......
some years ago now....bonfires on the beach, we would bury SNPA kegs in the sand away from the fire in case the rangers came along our path..
one morning i came down to my lifeguard tower and with binoculars i spotted a half buried keg in the sand,(it had been hit by the tide overnite and revealed to my eyes by a higher order!)
so i grabbed a shovel and somehow got it over up onto my tower and hid it for the day under towels..
at about 5pm the sunset lifeguard drove by to tell me to go home and i asked him if i could stay on, he was surprised when he saw me sticking the keg into the backseat, we spent the next 2 hours driving on the sand, sucking on the tap left on the keg by some partygoer, i think we killed a quarter of a keg between us...
best sunset beer (cold or warm) hands down - Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Too many to recall all of them, but I particularly remember draught Guinness on tap from Fenians pub when I lived in perth WA. We used to call it mother's milk.
Last night I had a cracker Wicked Elf Pale Ale from a new micro-brewery The Little Brewing Company in Port Macquarie. Beatiful malty taste, wonderful citrus fruity aroma, beautifully balance bitterness and that lovely Cascade hop flavour. Gave one to my brother in law, and he just had to go and buy some for himself on the way home.
I think the best beer I ever had was my first real HB. When I arrived to QLD from the US it was mid 30's and the humidity was sky high, back home it was below zero and snowing
I had to take a bus from Brisbane to Bundaberg and it was deadly hot. I met my FIL and the first thing he did was to shake my hand and fill it with a HB which I skulled rather quickly and asked for a few more
Best commercial beer I have had to date is Knappstein Lager!

Speaking of which, beware the Kilkenny at the Redback. Three out of three times I've got a pint thereof, it has been off.
Strangely enough, the last time I had a pint of Kilkenny at the Corkman Irish Pub (just down the road from the Redback) it was off too. They cheerfully refunded my money though. Perhaps someone left a semi-load of kegs out in the sun over Christmas?
Not really a fan of Kilkenny. but the missus loves it. She's the one that made me try Guiness. Although i haven't tried Kilkenny for about 4 years, maybe my tastes have developed a little since then. I vow to have one next time i'm at the pub (if they have it on tap)
