For a moment there I thought you meant real beer! I'm a lover of RCH Pitchfork, Talylors Landlord amongst others
Actually it's only been in the past 7 years or so that I've got into real ale - before that I was happy to drink nitro keg lager. Do keep trying the Belgian beers - especially the wheat beers, they can be delicious.
I like lagers mostly, don't mind an ale however.
One thing I can't stand is that uber-expensive "white" lager that tastes and smells like it's gone off and people go on about it like it's amazing because it costs over three pounds a pint.
Ughhh...
Who's with me?
I can't recall the names but a few varieties exist, I think Kronenbourg recently started doing one. What is that type of beer called?

Witbier, white beer, sometimes wheat beer. Hoegarden being the most popular.

AHh thank you a man of knowledge in this field.
Yes that's the stuff, to me Hoegarden smells like it's gone off.
It's slightly too fruity for my taste and I just can't see the attraction.
Can anyone tell me if you develop the palate for it or is it a love it or loathe it thing?

I had a fair bit of it while I was in Germany and I quite liked it. At first it was rather odd, but after a few pints, or rather a few 1.5 pint glasses, it tasted okay.
Maybe everything does after that much?

I'd say it was a misspent youth but it's more a misspent life.
I'm not a huge fan, I've found a few I like but small amounts rather than pints of the stuff.
My current favourite beers and have been for sometime are the St Peter's Brewery ales from good old Bungay in Suffolk. The ginger and lemon beer they do occasionally is the finest summer beer I have tasted.
I love the different Foreign Lagers, although I normally drink Fosters or Carling as it's cheaper. Cusquena is one of my favourites at the moment and Zywiec is nice, especially in Wetherspoons.
when Im "on the lash" I normally end up on Tuborg. Gets me nicely toasted. At home I tend to drink Zywiec (Poland), Speights (New Zealand) or Tooheys New (Australia). Last time I was in Chicago I was drinking a Goose Island brew called 312. Its a wheat ale with citrus flavours and really sweet and flowery. Unfortunately its not available anywhere over here. Boo!!!

A ha! Speights! the taste of the South! I have had the fortune to visit the Brewery in Dunedin. Great free samples!
I've taken to drinking Michelob Ultra - one of the few low carb beers avaialble in the UK, stocked by Tesco ...I wish we could get Miller Lite here. Its ok when ice cold and really low carb
I only like Budweiser........has to be ice cold & straight from the bottle. It doesn't taste the same when it's in a glass.

So maybe you killed off the relevant type of taste buds that enable you to detect the roughness lol!
But yes I may try it again, so many people can't be wrong.

LOL, never misspent having fun.
I noticed people often have half pints of it though sometimes that's because it's very strong.
I may have a go at that ale, though it's not exactly summery right now.

Fave is Sam Adams Boston Lager - wish we could get it here - please Waitrose get it back in!!
Gotta admit though the Polish lagers are exceptionally good and Weatherspoons were doing a very good Lithuanian brew last time I went.
