Translation help with a sentence about guests at a party.

Hello, I am looking for a correction on this sentence.

Scenario:At a party, talking to a friend about house guests. This is the sentence:"Do they like the beer that we served them?" This is my best guess:¿Les gustan las cervezas que les servimos?

That's my best guess but I am not sure weather to use servido or not. Also, I am studying "se" and all the different ways to use it in Spanish and I am not sure if I could fit se into that sentence.

Thanks, Jason

I just realized that it makes much more sense as "Did they like the beer that we served them." Thanks all for the help! - Ironic, Jun 16, 2012

you don't need an accent on gustaron, and you need to say que after las cervezas, but yes, you're right! - unMica, Jun 15, 2012

To me it sounds better to say "les gustó la cerveza que servimos" or "les gustaron las bebidas que servimos," but the way you said it already looks grammatically correct.

If you really want to use "servido" and "se," here's a couple options: ¿Les gustó la cerveza que se sirvió? ¿Les gustó la cerveza que fue servida?
