As an 18 year old I went camping with a group of friends, there was a pub next to the camp site selling Old Peculier on draught.

Being rough tough real men we decided that we were going to drink the pub dry. The landlord bet us that we could not drink more than two pints of Old Peculier. He won.

That was when the nickname of Rubber Legs Smiffy started

Old Tom, Old Peculier, well, there's a theme developing here. I (remarkably) vividly remember a pub night about 30+ years ago where I drank 3 and a half pints of Owd Rodger. They don't even sell it in pints now. Why 3 and a half? There were 3 of us, 1 was driving, I was the last to get the round in, and after 2 pints I had forgotten that the round was 2 Owd Rodger and a Coke. Bought 3 pints and of course the extra pint had to be shared between me and my other buddy. Barman was laughing so hard. It took me a week to be able to remember any of it but now I can't forget it. The pub was the Royal Standard of England in Forty Green, Beaconsfield. A very good pub that's still there, and still sells OR, though in smaller glasses now. It weighs in at 7.4%.

Used to drink a lot of Bud and MGD back in the day. Then lived in Germany for 3 years in the 90’s. That changed me a bit. I don’t drink a whole lot these days. But if I do:
-Paulaner Lager (German)
-La Fin Du Monde (Canadian)
-Duvel (Belgium) Let it breathe first in a proper glass.
-Grolsch (flip tops) (Holland)
-Offerings from Avery Brewing (Colorado), careful high % and you’ll be streaking in no time.
-Voodoo Ranger isn’t too bad

Mostly for enjoyment and not to get tanked.

I’ve gone to Serra Nevada Pale Ale. For me a good hoppy ale with low alcohol content.

I grew up very close to and actually went to a Wedding Reception there. I got all sorts of goofy, quite younger. It’s been a bit might try a 6’er.

Sam Adams made Rebel IPA which was quite hoppy as well.
