Best pint you've had ?

Question

Don't say Carlsberg or Heineken or Fosters - this questions is for adults only.

Answer 1

You know, I've asked myself this question a good many times.
A good pint of Bishops Finger or Spitfire is hard to beat. So is Hobgoblin.
I don't want to sit on the fence, but this is a hard one. OK, I would have to say...Spitfire.
If served properly.

Answer 2

So many to choose from it is difficult. I have been to real ale festivals, beer festivals, Oktoberfest in Munich, and of course tasted many beers and stouts over the years (as well as brewing my own when at university due to the cost savings). I have tasted many Belgian beers, and these really are something special.

A pint by name is not enough, it has to be served correctly as well. When choosing one beer out of the many millions, it will be very specific to your tastes and background.

A creamy beer known in Scotland as "heavy" or 80 shilling is probably the category I would say is my favourite. I would include Caffreys in this group, but I would not say it was the best pint I have ever had.

The best pint is McEwans 80 schilling served in the Sportsman's Arms in Edinburgh where they specialise in serving this particular brew. I don't know if it is still open, as it is a long time since I have been there.

Caffreys might come second to that pint, but No 3 could equally well come second if it was served correctly.

I prefer to drink continental lagers in smaller quantities. (except of course German beers at Oktoberfest)

Answer 3

After a week in the North Thailand jungle and a crowded sweaty night bus down to the islands, that first pint off chilled Chang beer sitting on a perfect beach waves lapping on my feet watching the sun set.

I was tired exhausted and that pint picked up spirits to continue exploring Thailand.

Answer 4

It wasn't a pint, it was a 'Grande Bierre' of Karlsbrau (I think)
the first of many that holiday but it was well deserved!
8 hours on a coach , 1 hour on a train, 4 hours waiting in an airport then another hour on a plane!!! Getting to the South of France was not easy that year!!

but the Grande Bierres more than made up for it!!

Answer 5

It was a pint of Guinness in a pub in the middle of La Hinch on the west Clare coast in Ireland a dozen years ago now, It was so nice that it became a pre-wedding dinner half dozen in the end

Answer 6

Our local pub sells the best pint of guinness ever, but on a hot summers day you cant beet a pint of cold bulmers with lots of ice sitting out in the beer garden.

Answer 7

Ooo... thats a hard one, too many variables. For me: In the summer, a nice cold Kronenbourg Blanc sitting by the river in the sunshine. In the winter, a pint of well kept Old Peculiar in a old pub with character.

Answer 8

Newcastle Brown

Answer 9

After working in Northen Iraq on an all male, dry site for 90 days at a time, anything that is cold and hand pulled by a pretty woman, works for me.

Answer 10
