Food What kind of beer drinker are you?

Wheat beer

 

Went to the Choir Annual Christmas Dinner last night, and discovered a Fuller's beer called Bengal Lancers. 5% proof.
It had a strong taste of ingredients .... not generic wee wee.
That taste was able to remain constant and satisfying from initial sip - cool from the cask, to final sip - nearly room temperature.
I'll definitely choose it over Pride, if it's there.

this Minute ... welllll .... I am drinking my Crabbies Alcoholic ginger beer ... but have mixed it with Carr's NON alcoholic ginger beer, which has a very strong ginger taste. I am likely to buy some fresh root ginger, crush it, and add it to the drink. I'm reckoning Crabbies has potential for being a great base for a variety of Winter drinks, and also for drinks to dose self with when down with bad cold and flu.

Crabbies with crushed root ginger, crushed garlic, cloves, lemon juice, honey, and garammassala spices. And a bit of Crabbies ginger wine to fortify it. That is a possibility.

 

I like most beers except stouts and porters. I just had one this weekend from Rogue that was a Bacon Maple Ale.... I have to admit, I'm wasn't sure what to expect but it was pretty good if you're a fan of the doughnut.

Pretty much any beer except for the lite watery commercial crap. I have a big preference for darker beers, ales and stouts. One of the greatest food and beverage combinations I discovered is a good stout and homemade chocolate brownies.

 

Wednesday was the "Imperial" Competition at my homebrew club. Imperial Stouts and IPAs and Baltic Porters (Imperial Pilsner would have worked too, but nobody brought one. Should have brought a brown porter and called it an imperial mild, but I digress.). On consideration, I really do love a good imperial stout. One that goes for fullness and a touch of sweetness with dark fruit and toffee and a touch of complexity in the malt bill, and some nice esters.

My beer of choice right now is Sierra Nevada Celebration. Such a great value!

 

That reminds me. It's been years since I have had Sam Smith's Celebration Ale. Needs must get a few bottles.
