Your Favorite Or Best Beer

Mine

You got there first. My #1.

My wife disliked all beer until she tried a Fat Tire. It's the only beer she'll drink now.

I'm also a big drinker of 90 Shilling.

but I do have a strong taste for most raspberry micro brews...

You should come here to Portland Oregon, they are 'awash' in Microbrewery's'

I can stomach the micro brews tho.............

I haven't been to Portland in over a decade and a half....the first time I had a raspberry micro brew, was in KS, and it was...divine!...:D Most of the time the honey lager's, raspberry ales, are pretty damn good.

Alas, it's just a winter brew. But worth the wait between seasons.

while I do enjoy drinking many many different kinds of beer, I always come back to Guinness.

you put in front of me, but nothing beats a good Guinness Draft.

Herold Pivovar Bohemian black lager

:beer:

:beer:

I drink a lot of IPAs, but other middle range ales as well.

Don't care for stout or lager, the two extremes. Pale Ales, Ambers, IPAs, Brown Ales mostly.

Dogfish Head, Backfin, Wild Goose, and other local microbrews.

Magic Hat IPA is very good and reasonably priced.

Next time I go to Colorado (and I do visit there frequently), I will make a point to tour the Flying Dog Brewery).

I am drinking their Golden Ale right now.

dunkel...Yummm!!!

Atrois, that is.

by the name of Sweet Leaf Amber.

:beer:

We have something in common!!!

:rofl: :toast:

I'll drink anything if that's the case!

But if I had to pay for it, my favorites are Fat Tire, Sierra Nevada, and pretty much any variety of Sam Adams. And I love Dogfish when I'm back east (hard to come by in California).

at Peak's Pub in Port Angeles, WA.

Stella Artois, Red Stripe, Leffe, Duvel, Chimay, Hoegaarden, or one of about a dozen or two other beers. Just NO BUD

If you like hops, it doesn't get any hoppier.

Brewed at Main St Station in Vegas.

or most New Glarus beers. You can only get it in Wisconsin.

Q

I buy it often.

The local beer store carries most of the DFH line. I tried a bumper of their Liquor de Malt and it was very interesting.

:toast::beer:

Or even go Shiner Bock. I like Shiner Bock when I'm eating, and Shiner Blonde when it is just drinking.

best. beer. ever.

:beer:

or Samuel Adams Brown Ale

"When you're outta Point, you're outta town."

drove down a one way street the wrong way and ran a stop sign. drunk,high,and holding...little did we know point was three for a dollar....

By the weekend it'll be different.

"In February 1994, after 18 months of research, Unibroue launched La Fin du Monde (the end of the world). It is a 9 percent alcohol, triple fermentation beer. This type of beer was originally developed by the monks of the Middle Ages to be served on special occasions. La Fin du Monde is a deluxe beer made by triple fermentation and a unique way of straining the yeast. This method produces an unexpectedly subtle flavour. With its champagne-like effervescence, it has a vigourous presence in the mouth, which accentuates its strong personality. Slightly tart, with the balanced flavours of wild spices, malt and hops, it belongs to the class of great Trappist beers and, in this regard, is a North American first. At meals, it can replace white or red wines and enhances the flavour of most dishes."

Trappist monks' Chimay....

a couple of weeks ago I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to go pub-crawling in Amsterdam, and wandered into a tiny bar called the "Belgique" -- and my companions bought me a glass of Kwak beer:



It's really good stuff.

:9 !!!

I'm also quite partial to my current tipple, Flying Fish's Belgian Style Dubbel. What I like in a brew is depth, but drinkability--where I can appreciate the style of the brewing, the care in blending the flavor, but I can still crack it open without going "damn...tastes like fruit (or too much hops...or burnt toast...some failings I have come across with the kind of micro-explosion of the past what--decade?) For "session" drinking, nothing wrong with your fine English brews, though--Newkies, Boddingtons, and although I talk about the "too much hops" phenomenon, I like a nice IPA-Troeg's does a swell one--cuts the grease with fish and chips or greasy pizza (which I generally end up scarfing when it's beer time.)

Er...um...support your local brewpub--fresh beer tapped close to where it was made is generally more awesome than even really damn good beer you pick up fortunately enough at the six-pack shack--and they usually have given thought to feeding your beer-drinking hide whilst you are there.

PABST. BLUE. RIBBON.


:evilgrin:

I mean c'mon, almost fifty replies and not one Blue Velvet reference? The Lounge is reeeeaaally slipping. It must be all those pervasive, perverse, personal problems.


What was this post about again? :beer: Oh yeah, that's right, beer!

Some personal favs

Smuttynose Brewing Shoals Pale Ale and Dogfish Head Chicory Stout. Smuttynose Robust Porter gets a "that's what I'm drinking right now" shout out too.

I just bought a 12pack of Heineken!!!!


Time to enjoy......................

Bitter fits my mood most times...

:evilgrin:

pronounced Smitticks YUM!

Mother of God, that stuff is good.

especially on a hot day!

Celebrator Dopplebock. I'm not usually into dark beers, but this one is damn good.

Pretty much anything from this brewery.

That being said, good beer is good beer. I do not discriminate... :evilgrin: :beer: :toast:

Specialty, etc........

I sip and savour.

But then I'll have whatever he's having

Today's "best" selection:



Tomorrow, the answer may be different.

And I think it's good to occasionally drink stuff that's simply "not bad", to fully appreciate what's really good. :toast:

Hey...Whatever happened to that beer group idea somebody had a couple of weeks ago?

As a 10 veteran of the Great American Beer Fest (I've run an island the last 5 years), here's my favorite

Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout.
90-Minute Doghead.
Sam Adams Boston Lager.
Christian Moerlein.
Tsingtao.
Dos Equis.
Blue Moon.

Any of these will do in a pinch.

Oh, you mean commercial beers I guess.

It changes by the season, although I've gotten quite fond of black and tans (guinness and bass, guinness and Harp, even guinness and Sam Adams lager).

...mmm beer!
