Topic: Whats Your Favourite Liquid Accompaniment 2015

Prompted by Curry Addicts Bob post http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,12318.msg119615.html#msg119615 and CH mention a couple of Leffes and I realise this has been covered before but for me there's a lot more varietys out there these days including ciders and real ales.

For me when I'm at eating Indians at a restaurant, its the Kingfisher or Cobra (I'm a real ale man normally)which I find varies from place to place. If I'm at home my favourite is Grimbergen which is a 6.7% Belgian Abbey Ale. Out of the fridge its my favourite curry beer by far.

So I ask, whats peoples current favourites?

For me while eating curry its Kingfisher, I find Cobra to sweet, but my drink of choice is straight malt whisky

I think everyone has guessed Leffe is my session beer.   I much prefer Cobra with a curry to many other "Indian" beers on offer in restaurants.  I do have a selection of 28 other Belgium beers in the cellar, ranging from 8% to 11.4%.  A possible favourite is Triple Karmaleit, a very fragrant trappiste number flavoured with coriander and oranges funnily enough.  Always perfect with fish.  Athough, 10% plus can be needed on here sometimes, to ease the pain when the going is getting tough  ;D

If only i could appreciate whisky like i do beer    There are so many different malts with supposedly different characteristics.  But to me, they all taste like fire water    Sorry guys, it is only my opinion though, and no offence to the hardened scotch drinkers who know and appreciate their stuff

I couldn't stand the stuff till I went away for a week with my brother in law and his mate who liked the whisky and by the end of the week the damage was done and I was hooked. ...

My own UJSSM corn whisky, till the wife and special head doctors suggested it may not be for me.
Now XXXX Gold. Mid_strength low carb lager.

Clausthaler extra herb, because Main Thaler is no longer available. Both are German alkoholfrei beers with 0,5% alcohol.

Like most Scots (I suspect!), I'm fairly versatile. Any port in a storm for me. Mmmm, did I just say Port?

[Onions]

Well, if we're starting early...

Phil- why?!
