Did Robin Hood and Maid Marion and the old pervert Big John drink beer or just sit about whining in Sherwood Forest

Hating to dissapoint you but both Hoegaarden and kriek are considered to be "real".
It is the fact that they still have the yeast in the drink which makes this so, hence the cloudiness of Hoegaarden.
And no, I don't own an anorak.

As for Friar Tuck, the mind boggles, but I imagine he drank at the Bishop and Nun.

Being from the States and living in the Southwest I have access to some great Mexican Beer. The standard Corona Extra will allways hold a place in my heart as the beer that kicks you while you are down.
Tecate' is another favorite. However if you go to Cancun, there are some wicked brews. My friends and I got tanked in some back street dive that was selling beer that had higher alcohol content than single malt.
I don't remember most of the rest of that week. Be warned, Mexican beer is usualy safe and tasty, however Mexican water is deadly!
I have first hand experiance in this. Cheers.

And then there is the tequilla for a night cap and the senoritas to cap the night

Or if you are feeling Very adventurous, Mazcal. Pure Evil.

Its unfortunate that this formerly independent brewer and maker of Olde Peculiar (I still believe that it is called that due to effect it has on the grey matter keeping my ears apart). But sadly this company is now owned by Scottish and Newcastle breweries, who have the misfortune to produce McEwans.
Now a fine pint of Wadworths 6 X, or lets hear for Bishops Tipple

The reason Fosters is advertised as THE beer from Australia is because we dont want all the good stuff going overseas!!!
Try Emu Bitter, The best beer in West Oz

with or without the worm?

Ha sto be with the worm, the question is what beer would you have to accompany this. Diogbolter perhaps.

Diagbolter, sounds fascinating, do you have to drink it fast? Can you use it for bait?

I think that they might mean Dogbolter, that infamous brew by the Firkin brewery. A superb and totaly mind demolishing inebrient.

Sorry should have been dogbolter, I do not know if you canb get it anymore, it used to come from Bruce's brewery in London

Surely the best beer in the world has to be Carling Premier. A veritable deity of a beer.

Father Christmas beer from Switzerland is 16% proof. Now that would give you a red nose.

Yeah, but once it gets above about 6%, beer starts to taste a bit crap.


Not that the effects are crap, far from it.

You are so correct. The beer is quite thick. The idea is to warm it up and drink it like a hot toddy while trying to pick up a lady and whisk her back to your chalet for a bit of how's your father, hide the sausage, put the train in the tunnel, whatever

But by the time you have drunk a few of them, the next morning you find that it was not some buxom blond, but a reindeer.

Some reindeer are prettier than some blondes - and most are brighter

This may be true, but the antlers are only good for holding them down, anywhere elase and its a real pain
