First, let’s be clear that I do my very best to avoid horse piss. I refuse to drink it.
Well, I’ll drink it, but I won’t enjoy it.
Well… I’ll enjoy it, but not as much as a good dark beer.
Ok, what beers do I like?
From Germany – hoo boy, this is a semi-infinite list
- Andechser doppelbock
- Weihenstefan has some good ones
From the mainline breweries:
- Franziskaner dunkles weissbier (in German beers, weiss means weizen – wheat – not white)
- Spaten Optimator
- Paulaner dunkles – if you’re not a big fan of Tsing Tao, seek out the Paulaner Bräuhaus in Beijing
From England
- Samuel Smith’s Tadcaster oatmeal stout
- Old Peculier
- Newcastle brown ale, if I can’t get anything better
Mexico
- Negro modelo
USA – Hmmm…
- Stockyard stout
- Moose drool
