Corona

[Guest TK-421]

Fair enough mate, if I'm after a light beer I'd rather have a Coors or a Desperados. Just don't like it at all.

 

There are only a few bottles I just can't bring myself to drink, Corona, Becks ( I like Becks Vier, just not the bottles ), Stella and Bud.

 

It's all about context, no? If ice cold Corona was all that was available on a lovely hot day in the park with flange all around covering themselves in said Corona, you would want to tuck in yeah?

Currently drinking one of these beauties, sublime.

 

I prefer Timmermans or Fruuli myself Bruce, but yes they can be quite refreshing.

[Remmie]

Is there a difference between Sol and Corona because I don't know what it is. I quite like it, rarely my first choice but goes down easy if I'm bloated or whatever.

 

If were criticising beer, step forward Carling

[RedKnight]

Are you offended or something? The 'from Boston' thing was a joke as you like the Redsox. It is shite beer though.

 

I completely disagree that it's a shit beer but I'm sure you'd agree it's at least a cut above Budweiser et al.

Carling, Carlsberg, Fosters, Stella, Budweiser. Either stinky or foul.

[Red Banjo]

I like Miller but Morrisons is about the only place you can get it

 

Corona is liquified arse

[Carradona]

I fucking hate the sight of Carling. The bottles, the cans. Everything about it. It screams out Southern, London, twaty student wankers who think they can come up North and act the fucking madman. Piss off back down south, and bring your shit beer with you. Cricket cunts.

[Pidge]

It's piss. I was bought one by a mate on a stag night once and then had my peg nicked, meaning I had to down it. I had been on decent drinks (ales) beforehand and by the bottom of the glass I was sprinting up the stairs to the toilet. It was only 7:00pm and I was out until 5:00am so it wasn't too much alcohol that caused me to vomit, just the fucking nasty taste of shit beer and lime. I think I'd prefer to drink Toilet Duck than that shite.

Yep, very much so. There's just so many better beers available so I'll only drink that when forced into a corner containing Bud, Coors and the rest.

[Guest ShoePiss]

Oh and the lime in Corona makes it drinkable, same with Dos Equis, Pacifico etc.

Fucking funny.

Fuck off am I having that. Carling was invented by a Northerner and is drunk heavily in the North.

 

Anyway, what decent beer has Ireland ever produced? Fuck off if your answer is Guinness, the shit Stout. Caffreys is fucking horendi.

[Carradona]

Harp.

[Sugar Ape]

I didn't think the poll would be this close. Humanity is doomed.

[Joe Le Taxi]

Mended.

 

The bit you changed further proves my point. Last time I went in was with a girl from work and we were the youngest people in there by a good 20 years.

Smithwick's and Rebel Red.

[Nunavut Patrick]

Love a beer thread.

 

Sol and Corona are similar.

 

One of the best beers I ever had was a Corona. Flew down from on a holiday charter, was stuck in Mexican customs for an hour and got out into the humid 30c ( came from -25c) and was sweating crazy.

 

Got on the bus to go to the resort and they had Corona in a ice bucket for one US$. I got two and they were unbelievable.

 

Resort had Dos Equis which is bland despite their 'most interesting man in the world' commercials.

[Remmie]

Smithwick's and Rebel Red.

Fair play never heard of them but will give it a whirl. I have drank Harp several times but couldn't tell you a thing about it other then paddy beer, so that gets a pass.

[Colonol]

I think it is nice, but I only drink it in certain situations. I don't put the lime in it but do sometimes squeeze a bit in. There are all different rumours as to why the lime is used. I always went with the sanitising the rim of the bottle where it originated as it is acidic and beers are stored in dirty places where rats would be around. Other rumours are repelling flies and marketing moves.

[Rafiagra]

It's like pop and ridiculously easy to drink. Don't mind it at all.

[Bubble]

Harp is a terrible beer. Chemical tinged pisswater. Someone left a few tins of Harp in my fridge the other week. They were the only beers in the house, but I threw them in the bin and had a glass of water instead.

 

Agree that Smithwicks is a good beer, and I do like Guinness, but it took me a couple of years of pretending to like it before I developed a taste for it. Definitely an acquired taste.

[Sugar Ape]

Oirish beer is shit, Guiness is alright but it's not beer.

[RedKnight]

Guinness is lovely, can't have that much of it though. Makes you feel really bloated.

I'll have that, three pints tops. Went to Ireland last year and everyone was saying the Guiness is twice as nice! It wasn't it just tasted the same. Nice for a few though.
