Cream of the hop
If I had a dollar for every time I have been asked, 'What's your favourite beer?', I would have probably saved enough for front-row tickets to a Rolling Stones concert. My answer is always, it depends - on how I'm feeling, who I'm with, what I'm eating, the time of day, whether it's a junk trip on a sunny day or an animated conversation in a bar on a rainy evening.
However here's my current Top 10 list, before it changes again with my next pint. They're all available at Beer Bay (for deliveries, tel: 2541 3222; branches in Discovery Bay, Clearwater Bay, Yuen Long and at the Lamma Ferry Pier), except for the Guinness draft, which is sold at Irish pubs, and Paulaner Salvator, which I enjoy so much I don't mind travelling to Shanghai or Singapore to drink.
