Whats your favourite beer in a bottle?

[karlejnar]

Celtic Black Ale from Hebridean brewery
Black Cuilin from Skye brewery
Dunn's Hogs Head from Islay brewery
Jacobite ale from Traquair brewery
Arran Dark
Innis & Gunn

It would be quite obvious that I prefer dark beer - a stout/porter style

I also like Limfjordsporter, but it's a long time since I had one

I'm from Belgium,so I'm lucky to have much good choices.I like the dark beers the most.

Moeder Overste is excellent,but not widely available



Westmalle and Leffe are more available

You may want to try these also.very popular in Belgium,but not for me:

Lindemans Kriek and Lindemans Geuze

Hi guys, i shall get round to trying some beers soon. I haven't recently as i can't drink anything that isn't full of ice.

I really would struggle to pick definitive favourites as I'm a fickle bugger but here's a few nonetheless

Most William's Bros. beers - but especially Midnight Sun, a meaty porter with a lovely ginger glow, Seven Giraffes, a slightly deranged but incredibly refreshing lagery concoction, and probably my favourite of all, their ginger beer, a truly spectacular drinking experience, far better than the Crabbie's nonsence.

Other UK brewed beers would have to include Oxford Gold, Bitter and Twisted, the stupendous Schiehallion, and some of the Badger beers.

American beers are well worth an investigation - I'd never have believed until a recent trip over there, but there are some superb beers from the likes of the Flying Dog Brewery, Sierra Nevada (much better out of a bottle over here than on tap if you ask me), Anchor Steam, and the Stone Brewing Company (their Bastard ales are lovely and their Ruination has to be drunk to be believed)

Belgian beers..... I don't know where to start, far too many extraordinary beers, but Deus would have to be up there, an effervescent joy, and probably delirium tremens also.

I live in Bavaria, so there are plenty of beers to choose from as well. But I also like the Belgian beers.

Some of my favourites:

Westmalle Tripel
Chimay Bleue
Paulaner Salvator
Unertl Weissbier

the list could go on and on and on....

[JamesC]

I do tend to buy Leffe as its easy to find. However i really really like Delirium Nocturnum..

[Yello to Mello]

I drink Duvel often, I put the Duvel glasses to good use for other belgian-like strong beers.

Right now old Rasputin Russian imperial stout or the Hebrew brewing bourbon barrel aged anniversary beer from the prior year.
