Anyone here like beer?
Some of my favourite beers from around the world:
Hofbrau ( http://www.hofbraeu-muenchen.de/ ) - good times at the Englischer Garten in Munchen. You can get this from the supermarket here in NZ, thankfully.
Lowenbrau ( http://www.loewenbraeu.de/ ) - Oktoberfest, woohoo!
Ringwood Brewery Forty-Niner ( http://www.ringwoodbrewery.co.uk/ )
Guinness - I go along with the theory that Guinness tastes better in Ireland. I have no idea why, it just does. The brewery tour in Dublin is worth a look as you climb up several stories and then they give you a free Guinness at the top, the beer tastes even better for climbing all the stairs. Preferably go with some women, who won't want their freebie, so you get more.
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale - I seem to remember this stuff being not too bad when I was in the States, quite an achievment from the country that brought us Budweiser (ugh, horrible).
Kingfisher Strong - Awesome beer, tastes almost like one of those strong Belgian beers to me.
I'm yet to find a New Zealand beer that I really like. Currently I'm a big fan of Coopers from South Australia ( http://www.coopers.com.au/ ). It's much better than the similarly priced local brews.
