Zetterlund Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 The best pint I ever had was while on holiday in New York, after a few hours walking around the city in 36 degree heat and eventually seeking shelter in an Irish pub. I think it was a PBR, served in a tall frosted glass from the freezer. Many holiday pints since but none have topped that. I also agree with those who like a pint alone in unfamiliar surroundings. Working away and sipping one in a random hotel bar before ordering dinner is class. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 The first one of an all dayer is usually my favourite. Hopefully I get that feeling in approximately 45 hours time from now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty It Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 First freezing pint on a scorching summers day in a beer garden with a nice view. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Think this needs a top 5 and I think they've been covered already. About the 4th pint of an all day effort is the best you'll feel all that day. The post round of golf in the heat one is great The walking about in a hot country then stopping for one is great. The first one when rough as f**k is a bit jakey-ish, but great all the same. And last but not least as discussed, taking yourself away to get a pint on your own with some peace and queit..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 7 hours ago, Suspect Device said: The first one after you've driven across the desert. It took 14 takes to get that right and they used real lager. John Mills said he was absolutely plastered in the final cut. When I would do a bicycle tour and have a particularly tough day in the saddle the first pint after a shower was miraculous. I remember a pint of lemon ale on Hayes, Kansas after a scorcher being the best pint I've ever had. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already almost dinner time so that can't be an all dayer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central Belt Caley Posted December 24, 2023 Author Share Posted December 24, 2023 Think my two personal favourites are: - when you’ve said you’ll only go out for a “couple” and the first one after deciding you’re out for the night tastes all the sweeter and all your worries melt away. Usually about the 3rd or 4th pint. - like others have said, just having a quiet pint or two on your own with a scroll through twitter/P&B (readers of a certain age may substitute this for a paper) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyAnchor Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 As an ex-pat the best pint is always the first when I visit home. Usually lager, preferably Tennents although here in U S and A I tend to drink craft brews. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I've been on a mission and seeking liquid refuge, I'll be getting a tin of Bru. Flavoured cider like a rekorderlig or kopparberg with loads of ice is refreshing as it gets.

gannonball Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 I'm a bit of a craft beer w**k usually but a frothy lager by a town square in some European country on a hot day is usually class. Don't care if I'm paying through the nose nice to just sit in the heat and people watch in a nice surrounding. A darker ale or Guinness in a quiet country pub with a dog in it is . Double bonus points if it's a peat fire also. A pint especially after a Munro walk is also tremendous. Your usually fucked after it so often only have a few but it's a very satisfying experience. I now want a pint. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 I used to love going out on a Sunday with a female friend and just sitting in (usually the Ardler Tavern) having a pint, a bite to eat and meeting loads of different people and dogs. I understand why some folk don't like it but my ideal day is just sitting in a cosy pub, supping pints and rolling about the floor with dugs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netan Sansara Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 I’m a big fan of the pint when you arrive 15 minutes before meeting your mates. It’s got the elements of the solo pint but with the anticipation of what’s to come for the rest of the day/evening. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
