tetley's cream stout
newcastle
any schwarzbier -- the easiest to find is Sam Adam's Black Lager, but if you can find an authentic schwarzbier, get that instead. despite the name and the color, this type of beer is not heavy like a stout, and is easily drinkable by someone whose taste is not refined enough for stouts ;). i recommend Köstritzer.
of course, tomorrow (later today, actually), i will be ignoring my favorite beer because it is english, and even though St. Pat himself was born english, tomorrow is a day for murphy's, wexford's, and guinness. my ancestors demand it.
