I will confess to not knowing many of the beers you'd choose so I'd like to join you for a few beers at that one!<br /><br />Laura, I was tempted to say Orval too, love the stuff!<br /><br />Velky Al, Landlord?! I don't get the love for this beer... And I don't know this Klara but in many ways I wish I did!<br /><br />Pete, you can't choose Skrimshander as you brew it!! And Anne Hathaway?! Give me Rachel McAdams over her any day! We can discuss your choices at the pub next week :)Mark Dredgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11421095862178324693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717216232742676074.post-35138090634064935682009-08-15T12:15:58.950+01:002009-08-15T12:15:58.950+01:00After last night, BrewDog Zeitgeist would be on, i...After last night, BrewDog Zeitgeist would be on, it slid down!

I’m a sucker for reputation and for big hops. The third choice is more challenging, but, right now, it would be another huge US IPA because I’m having serious double IPA cravings! I don’t have a specific name but something along the lines of Three Floyds Dreadnaught or Bell’s Hopslam or something previously unknown to me, like how I’d never heard of Captain Lawrence Captain’s Reserve before the GBBF but LOVED it. <br /><br />As for the server, I’d take Marilyn Monroe, Sienna Miller or Stephen King. Whoever’s available. <br /><br />The interesting thing is that my beer list would’ve been totally different six months ago and six months before that it would’ve been massively different again. How my taste changes… And the beauty of this blog is that I can actually track how my tastes develop and change. I wonder what my answer would be this time next year?Mark Dredgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11421095862178324693noreply@blogger.com
