Betty Stoggs IS superb, but Cornish Knocker tasted to me like dishwater. I also had a couple of pints of HSD while I was on holiday in Kernow a couple of summers ago. That was nice.

I don't really drink that much, but I find something like a good Shandy or a glass of Pimms is lovely.
Closer to Christmas, I stock up on the Bailey's, and prepare to enjoy.

I'm a cider man, but of late I've gone off Strongbow - much prefer real ciders from the likes of Weston's or Thatcher's. Weston's Old Rosie (at 7.3%) is surprisingly easy to drink.
Never really got on with lager - don't really like the taste, but while on holiday recently I had a few San Miguels and cruzcampos which were surprisingly ok.
I like red wine, but it doesn't like me!

And as you will testify, Vodka and Red Bull gives me the power to break up bar brawls.

Irn-Bru.
I've effectively gone all but tee-total because my stomach doesn't seem to cope too well with alcohol any more.

Vodka and (diet) Coke for me.
But too much and I don't remember anything.
I don't mind a cold lager at the end of a busy day though.

I don't think that's specifically anything to do with the vodka though.
As I was saying, I don't think that's specifically anything to do with the vodka though.

Tried Betty Stoggs at Christmas... really lovely beer.
Caledonian ale is one of my favourites at the moment. My local has a new Caledonian beer every month, and this months is Highland Fling. Then of course, there's Sign of Spring... a nice beer from Stonehenge Brewery, which is
green...
