maeib has set up a list on his blog of how he would stock a beer fridge with 15 beers of 15 different styles from 15 countries. This is a tricky one, not the least because I feel that the ratebeer categories will be a bit hair-splitting to some. And I would have a Trappist category. I don’t know how such a list from me would end up.
Sure, there will be a Nøgne ø beer, there will be Jever Pilsener and Fuller’s ESB, but then …
Should the Imperial Stout come from Ireland (Porterhouse Celebration), Denmark (Mikkeller), Scotland (BrewDog) or Norway (Nøgne ø)?
I’ll get back to you about this. Something to discuss over a pint at the Pig’s Ear festival next week, perhaps?
I’m currently rounding up the last few bottles of Celebration Stout in existence and have about half a dozen now. I’d bring one to you in London but, y’know, liquids regulations and that…
You can always check in a suitcase, you know.
Interesting you rate Fullers ESB highly. Maybe it’s just because it’s so easily available to me from the cask, but it just isn’t a beer I enjoy anymore.
Ye, if I had regular access to cask ale, it could have been different. We’ll see again by the end of next week.
