Arthur Guinness
brewed a beer that was relatively unknown in Ireland (at the
time Irish people drank more whiskey, gin and poteen than
beer). It contained roasted barley, giving it a characteristically
dark color. It soon became known as "porter" and was in direct
competition with the porters traditionally brewed in London
for the Irish market. Arthur had chosen to fight the London
breweries for their share of the market. He succeeded so well,
that not only did he take over the Irish market, but he also
captured a share of the English one.
By
1825 Guinness was available outside Ireland and St. James's
Gate Brewery was the largest in Ireland. In 1881, Guinness
was producing more that one million barrels of stout and by
1914 it had become the largest brewery in the world. Today,
this famous brewery is no longer the largest but it remains
one of the finest. 35 countries around the world now brew
Guinness but each brewery must use a flavored extract brewed
in the Dublin headquarters - one of those secret ingredients
so closely guarded by Guinness

This was the beer that we drank on a Monday Nite at
the Pub Quiz.
The history of Bass Ale starts with
the unique ingredient that sets it apart from other
beers. The water at Burton-on-Trent has been used for
its unique flavoring by Benedictine monks since 1002.
In his will a local nobleman,Wulfric Spot, deeded lands
and money to set up a Benedictine Abbey to protect the
shrine of St. Modwen. Little did he know that the monks
would discover that the water at Burton-on-Trent made
exceptionally good and strong beer. Hey, protecting
a shrine is thirsty work! In 1777, was quick to note
this phenomenon and bought his own brewery to capitalize
on the fact.
Not only is Bass water of old repute,
but the process utilizes a unique system in which the
active is culled from the , after it has aided in the
process, and used in the next batch. To top it all off,
Bass has the world's first ; the red triangle that adorns
their distinctive bottle. It was immortalized in 1914
when Picasso created his own from the image of the English
one. |

This beer was one of the first beers I drank when I was in my
teens. At that time I was working as a trainee chef at Clayton
Lodge Hotel it was given free of charge to the kitchen staffs
when on graveyard duty to help us keep cool. |

Newcastle Brown Ale is a famous brand of dark brown . It has
been brewed in (where it is known as 'Dog' or just 'Broon')
since by Newcastle Breweries However, in April 2004, Scottish
and Newcastle announced that they would be closing the Tyne
Brewery in 2005 and moving production across the river to Dunston
Federation Brewery .
Unlike many British beers Newcastle Brown Ale is always served
cold, ideally from a bottle, and drunk from a half pint glass
so as to minimise warming, with a pronounced frothy head (never
flat). The beer
was widely unavailable in southern and midland England
until a successful promotional campaign in the late 1980s,
but is now one of the country's leading bottled ales. |
Marston’s Pedigree has always been crafted using the
finest natural ingredients to ensure you receive a truly exceptional
beer. We only use natural Burton spring water and traditional
varieties of barley and hops (Maris Otter barley, Fuggles
and Goldings hops), rather than less expensive, commercially
grown modern hybrids.
Unique in the world, it is still brewed in the oak casks of
the Burton Unions to preserve its unique character, consistent
quality and taste.
Many brewers have abandoned this traditional method of brewing
over the years due to its extra cost and labour intensive
maintenance, which requires a skilled cooper to constantly
service the wooden casks.
It has been the commitment and belief of each Marston’s
Head Brewer to preserve the extra effort that goes into each
brew that makes Marston’s Pedigree such an exceptional
beer.
When you want a truly exceptional premium ale, Don’t
Compromise, choose Pedigree.

The first time I had this beer was a gift from a friend who
lived on the Isle Of Skye. Each time I visited the Island I
would bring a case or two back with me, but it did not last
long before it was gone.
Red Cuillin
The Skye Brewery`s much-prasied flagship ale. Reddish-hued,
slightly malty and nutty in character, smooth to the taste.
A multi-award-winning ale, named after the well-known hills
of the Isle of Skye.

with a slightly floral hop character and a sweet flavour delivery

Molson Canadian
A lot of people might blanche at the mention of such a plebeian
beer on a list like this, but those people are of the same
ilk as those pretentious idiots who argue that Citizen Kane
is a bad movie. Canadian isn’t just a good beer (2003
North American Beer Awards’ Gold Medal winner in the
lager category), it has also been part of our proud drinking
heritage for generations. |
Thailand’s number one selling
beer is Beer Chang, which you can spot by its distinctive
green label adorned with two elephants. In Thai, Chang means
elephant and that’s a good name for this beer since
Chang Classic really packs a punch at 6.4%, especially when
served in the common 630 milliliter size. That’s about
double the size and double the strength of a typical light
beer in the US, so four times the alcohol per bottle! Beer
Chang is also a lager, though the malt flavor is a little
more intense than Singha’s. Beer Chang is very popular,
but often it's not available in nicer restaurants.
