Post beers.
Here is Greene King IPA, a traditional Indian Pale Ale made in Suffolk, in the rural East Anglia of England.
"Indian Pale Ales" are just pale ales - the "India" comes from the fact that these beers were made with extra hops, to preserve them on the journey to India, where the British Raj would drink them during colonialist times.
It's a very tasty beer.
Gonna go get a couple bottles of this for the snow storm tonight.
where are you from, friend
ipa is done to death, i like a nice stout
Nice. Is that Canadian? Judging from the French, and that map on the bottle looks like Quebec.
South of England but I worked/lived in Ipswich for a year. One time I went to Bury St. Edmunds for a night out, it's a nice place.
Anyway, I disagree with you my friend, IPA is making a big comeback.
Obviously you've got all the trendy "craft beers" like Sierra Nevada, Goose Island, Brew Dog, and more independent stuff than that.
I got into those beers a few years ago because it was the "trendy" and "cool" thing at the time.
Then I thought why the fuck aren't I drinking something like Greene King IPA? It's LITERALLY THE SAME KIND OF BEER as Goose Island IPA, the only difference is that the trendy youth associate English IPAs with fat old men with beer bellies.
But what does that have to do with the taste and quality of a beer? It's just fucking branding. So now I drink proper English IPAs and I don't give a fuck if some smarmy hipster thinks I'm out of touch. In fact I'm a POST-hipster. I'm so alternative, I'm even more alternative than they are.
Also I like that English bitters are served a little less cold than other beers. They're still cold, just don't give me fucking brain freeze. So I like that. Especially in the winter.
Posting another.
Boddingtons. Real tasty beer. Well it's not very strong flavoured but I like that. I like strongly flavoured beers too - strong hoppy pale ales, dark ales like Hobgoblin too. But sometimes you just want something palette cleansing, y'know? That's where Boddies comes in.
Tastes very pleasant. The smooth creamy foam is a lot like Guinness - like Guinness, it's achieved by adding nitrogen, which creates a micro-foam of very fine bubbles for a smooth texture.

End your life mate. Do you actually know anything about good English beer? All Green king is piss.
Find a decent independent brewery with a decent IPA before you start trying to drop knowledge like a smug cunt.
Probably drinking at the bar tonight to celebrate one more successful finals week. Only one more to go.
PBR or bust
I'M ENGLISH YOU CUNT
WHY DON'T YOU SHOVE ONE UP YOUR ARSE BEFORE TRYING TO ACT LIKE A SMUG CUNT
There's literally nothing fucking wrong with Greene King and it is, in fact, FUCKING DELICIOUS
Sure it's not as strong tasting as other pale ales, but I don't always WANT something strong tasting. Strong beers can get real fucking tiresome if you drink them all the time (which I did for a while).
Fuck off, you don't know shit. Propose a beer or fuck off.
