Its my (virtual) round...

What are you having?

I alternate between lager and Cider for the most part though I find lager in this country pretty bland. I usually drink Heineken but to be honest as long as its not Bud or Miller I don't mind. Sometimes I switch to the pint bottles of bulmers if its a hot day and I'm in a beer garden somewhere. If I'm drinking at home I'll get some decent bottled beers (Sam Adams, Starpramen, Erdinger) from O Briens ore those little bottled lagers from Aldi (20 x 25 cl for �8.65). Sainsbury's (Newry) have a great range of English and French Ciders so when I go u their I usually pick up a variety.
When it comes to spirits I'm fond of the brandy. Occasionaly for a treat I'll buy a good bottle of Cognac (VSOP or better) but it will probably be christmas before I get anything like that in, though I did treat myself to a bottle of Havana Club seven yr old rum yesterday.

Have you tried Sam Adams? American brewed but nice. Their are nice American beers but the likes of Bud, Miller, Coors, Rolling Rock etc. are pish.

It's hard to find decent American Beer, but Sam Adams and Yuengling(pronounced Ying Ling) are pretty good. Partial to a nice pint of Guinness myself. The quality of Guinness has improved dramatically here in the US over the last few years.

I will finish work tomorow night and head to an izakaya(cheap restaurant), where I will down copious amounts of KIRIN beer, or shochu (I cant translate that-a kind of potato or rice based drink). Been waiting for it all week.

Are they restaurants or places in Japan?

I know Yamamori is the name of a restaurant in Dublin, but dont know about wagamama. It means selfish in Japanese though.

A pint of cider will do me. Except for now, cos I'm approaching "too many"...

Don't really like beer. Which is a problem in countries other than Ireland and GB when cider isn't really an option...

Cider is quite popular in certain regions of France and Spain.

I'm a Lager kinda guy, enjoy a few "Bitter's" when in England don't like Cider at all, but when in Vilnius earlier in the summer myself and a few redsmen accidently found out that the Cider over there is top notch, absolute quality!!!

JD and coke all the way.

Then pints ob Bud or Foster's (it's cheaper).

Bud and Fosters are both piddle, and weak piddle at that. Bud should be legally required to refer to their "beer" as Headache In A Can.
