Re: Favorite beers (for when the rugby is on) - Official thr

I'd guess that quite a few of them do. I understand what you mean by not being appropriate a lot of the time, but personally I prefer the taste of beers with a higher booze content than 5%.

Cans usually aren't the first things I'd reach for when wanting a decent beer, but with the weather rapidly getting hotter and the usual bbq's, beach visits, camping trips etc... coming up, cans are pretty versatile. Some decent canned beers I've been getting into recently are: Caldera IPA, so damn ...
