What these beer threads always say to me is how lucky I am to be English.
These Stella and Warsteiner bollocks, good fuckin' god - absolute horse piss.
Stella is a better than average run of the mill brew....The Baltic porters kick ass...Belgians tasty.....Our homegrown micro-brews....Will kick you guyzes ass!!!! the majority of you are still tinkering around with some archaic beer crud developed before Christ hit the cross! ....Check this site out....

Where you been lately?....Don't tell me there is a Northernsub keeping you busy.
Cheers!!!
She ain't Northern, DG - she's a Welsh lass......which is a shame for her, and although she didn't realise this before we met, she does now.
No offence intended to your beer palate, but I wouldn't use stella to wash my camel's bollocks. It's muck. For my money, all that German/Belgian/French stuff is muck. Seriously, it ain't even beer. It's just gas and chemicals. Over here, the drunks and under-16s drink it to get out of their minds as quickly as possible.
There is a very good reason why we're a conservative crowd when it comes to beer - it works well, and if it ain't broken etc. The problem with that site is that it's a list of well known/widely sold beers, so the likes of Sam Smiths and Fullers breweries feature heavily. There are villages all over the North of England (and the South) which brew their own beer, and people outside a 5 miles radius have never heard of that village's beer, so they wouldn't make any list. They're the quality English beers.
If you're ever in England, rent a barge and go sailing up canals in the North of England. There's loads of pubs and inns dotted along the canals at which you can stop off for a beer, and you'll drink beers that will never make any list because no one has heard of them. Buy loads of different English cheeses so you can taste a different cheese with a different beer, and see how they compliment each other.......exciting lot ain't we :-) I'd recommend Lancashire and Yorkshire. Start at Liverpool and go sailing all the way past Leeds, stopping off at pubs along the way and getting pissed right up to the eyeballs on the local brews. The women are as game as they come up North, DG, so you'll be right. Pick me up at Manchester, along the way, and I'll join you for a beer or two!
