None - Cider (Merrydown and Weston's) and spirits all the way :)

Actually, I once found a Russian Beer that didn't taste like...well, beer. That was ok.

My homemade stuff beats almost anything that you'll find commercially...

With this said and done, here are a few of my favorites:

Delirium Tremens
Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout
Chimay White
Full Sail lager

In general, I'm partial to any on tap, especially if its brewed locally.
However, Australian beer is an exception to this rule. As far as I can tell almost all
Australian beer is piss...

The beer in England is generally much better than in the States. However, in the states you can find many more better beers from, e.g. Germany, that you cannot find in England. I certainly miss The Brickskeller in Washington, D.C. Nothing on tap but the selection of international beers was second to none:

My favourite beer of those that I've tried is Paulaner Hefeweizen.

There are quite a few local brews here that are just excellent on tap.

I think my once a year wine shipment from australia is arriving today! As usual, half my order is wines from my favorite wine maker, Ben Riggs. I also got a bottle of Domaine Sathenay Peche de Vigne Peach Liqueur, since I have a sweet tooth at heart. Party at my house tonight!

That's debatable. Well, it would be like arguing whether Germany or Brazil have the better Cricket team. Anyway, I still drink beer, although I spent a year in England.

Hefeweizen (helles), of course.

Indeed. (It also made me pee more often than "regular" beer.)

Do you drink it with coke, banana juice?

To those of you who might wonder: It is very common in Germany to mix all kinds of beer with coke. Wheat beer actually is mixed with banana juice even. Very tasty.

Fond of the grape, not of hops.

Unless:

1. Its St. Patty's day (or Im at a pub) and I will have a Guinness in my hand most of the day.
2. I'm doing landscaping in the yard.
3. Visiting my wife's family (where my choices are crappy wine or Coors Lite; I'll take the latter).

Agree but when you are in Germany Belgium is not very far and I'm sure we have a lot of the best beers in the World (even if we don't have the Carlberg, he Roland ! :lol: )

Inch's Cider, made by St Austell brewery (in Cornwall) and the only place I've ever seen it is in the Rock Inn, in the little seaside village of Rock (the amount I drink when I go there shocks even me).
