I am VERY DISAPPOINTED by the lack of knowledge about Welsh beer displayed by my flist. *tuts*

I have never drunk beer in my life. Not once. the mere smell used to make me cry. Seriously.

I'm like this, except it makes me want to throw things. Growing up in an alcoholic's household, I hate beer with a passion.

I'm actually a fan of Guinness and other very dark brews. This has in the past confused bartenders, as I apparently look too petite and girly for such drinks :-)

Oh I see, and Kilkenny's not good enough for you, huh? HUH?

[kbpenguin]

Hey, for me, Kilkenny is a fancy import! :)

That said, I don't drink beer often, and I don't think I've tried Kilkenny.

[sarren]

Very good point. That's it, next year I'm buying you a beer!

I drink several different styles of beer, but I am not particularly fond of standard Australian Lager. I like Pilsener in summer, stouts or or other darker beers in winter, ales just about any time. I prefer something locally brewed, but only if it is good. I prefer something draft if I can get it.

All beer, all the time, except if it's something else alcoholic. :)

I like anything BUT very dark beers (and certain really crap American beers). Dark British beers including Guinness have a lovely sweetness that is destroyed by ocean transport. :(

Dunno what Kilkenny is.

Notably, Kilkenny is not available in the United States

I feel sorry for you.

Come visit me. I will PLY you with good beer.

Irish cream ale.

Showed it to DB, and neither of us recognise it. Sometimes the Beeb use invented labels, to avoid being accused of advertising, because they aren't allowed. Maybe it is that?

Best news I've heard all day!!!

Hey, you, person in the UK, what IS the most common Welsh beer. Or alternatively what's a REALLY GOOD Welsh beer.

I really feel the need for Rhys to offer Ianto a beer.

I don't know much about local beer in Wales, which is pretty rubbish of me as I go camping there most years! They seem to have lots of microbreweries just like they do all over the UK - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_beer for a list of breweries. The supermarkets stock the same brands as in England - local beers tend to be ales, and an average sort of blue collar bloke probably drinks lager - ie the aforementioned Stella.

I went out to dinner the other night and they didn't stock any of my favourite beers so I chose a Stella based on this post and it...didn't really taste like anything much.

...thought I'd share *g*
