Prompted by Curry Addicts Bob post http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,12318.msg119615.html#msg119615 (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

I take it thats not with curry but if it is.......RESPECT ;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 :o 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? :)
-
Well, if we're starting early... ;) :D
Phil- why?!
-
Phil- why?!
1) Liver.
2) I like it. After Main Thaler, it is without doubt the finest alkoholfrei beer I have ever tasted (and I've worked my way through most of them). Let's put it this way : Kaliber is to Mouton Cadet as Clausthaler Extra Herb is to Mouton Rothschild ...

As a Scot I feel compelled to perpetuate the stereotype - so anything with alcohol be it lager, cider, a malt or indeed a Glayva.

Sorry Phil, very personal question.

Sorry Phil, very personal question.
Not a problem. I regard my fellow CR0 members as my friends, and if one wants to ask "why alkoholfrei ?", that's fine by me.

A bit of a boff - water with the curry.
Don't mind a beer before or glass red after.
-
As another suspected versatile Scot,do like Glenfiddich,but with a curry like Draught Guiness(tin)or Bathams.
Having said that she has just handed me a Jamesons,kind lady.
Cheers :)
