Favourite beer thread.

I have a bit of pain in my right ankle at the moment which is deffo gout, picked up and took a big swig of my kids apple juice thinking it was my beer. Healthy eating is actually bad for me.

 

You must have been really hammered to mistake a carton of apple juice for a beer.

 

Yeah, now you've said it, I remember seeing something about fish and seafood being a big trigger. But what is unusual is that a Mediterranean diet is found to have a lower risk, and that is mainly based around fish and seafood. Maybe it's something in the method of cooking/preparation.

When you say darker beers, I was thinking more stronger alcohol content such as Belgium Beers.

 

Like a pint of this when in Dorset.

Love this stuff.

 

The alcohol content doesn't seem to matter as I drink rum now and then and don't have any problems. I suspect it's not dark beers as long as they are naturally made and don't have artificial colours and caramels in them. I avoid just in case though.

 

Do you think it could be something to do with added phosphates?

Especially in shellfish and beer, whereas rum don't contain it.

If you are ever in or around Winchester you can try this craft beer.

 

I think as @luvgonzo alludes to, there are different triggers for every sufferer.

In the old days it was considered a rich man’s ailment, brought on by consuming too much wine and port.

 

Carling

 

Could be, I try to eat most things that I cook from scratch as I often get problems with anything pre packed.

 

For those of you who don’t know RHC, he’s actually being serious.

 

Wine is very much the go to drink for people who get gout.

 

Nothing like an ice cold Samuel Adams for me if I want a beer, I’m not really a big drinker though.

 

Got a few proper cold Estrella and Moretti in the beer fridge and its barbecue weather the weekend.

Where's your thread @luvgonzo

I used to love draft Bass, but it's the only drink that's ever gone straight through me

Back when I was 14, and up to the age of 18, my regular tipple was Greenall's bitter, with the odd pint of Greenall's Festival Export ale thrown in. However, I went to university at Aston, and Ansells and M&B were just about undrinkable. That put me off bitter for life. I have the odd bottle of Low C (Resolution), which I quite enjoy. However, the bulk of the time, it's Carling

 

Bit like the Cheese?

 

I couldn't have existed withour diclofenac before I had my knee replacements. Noting else worked, bar weed

 

Well if you kept drinking M&B i'm not (so) surprised you switched to Carling
