Knew that would get your attention!

MrJimi and I were 'scussing beer a little bit and thought a BEER thread might be interesting. Seems we like to talk about beer in more serious threads, and maybe we should have an outlet for our passion. So......

Whaddya like????

:smoke

Corona. With lime.

I like Yuengling!!! :D

S/F
T.G. :tour

I'll have a Natural Ice and buy you one!!
Who else is in Sporty Girls bar tonight? :shhhh

FAT :drinkbeer . There was actually a beer thread started a few weeks ago. It was oriented toward the home brewmaster though. Pretty good stuff.

Bud Light mostly. When I am out, I drink black & tan....

Now I want a beer....

I don't like Mexico, but I like their beers. Corona and Sol with a tip higher to the latter

Guinness is the beer of the gods...

For every day stuff, I drink Miller Lite (it's what the boyfriend drinks so it's easier that way). I used to drink Coors Light; which I still love. For those special occasions, Fat Tire, Honey Brown and Zeigenbock (not to be confuse with Shiner Bok). :banana

I'm leaving now; for a beer and a massage!!!

I'll have a Natural Ice and buy you one!!
Who else is in Sporty Girls bar tonight? :shhhh

Just step right up to the bar, MrJimi!

I'm a bit of a beer ho. I'll do just about anything. ;) :roflblack

I like to try lotsa beers. I want to sample every beer brewed before I die.

Let's see, I'm with Tom, I like Yengling (sp?), Beck's lite, Michelob Ultra (my steady date right now), a Corona with lime like jhwkr, used to like Pearl (are they dead now?) I'll drink a trailer park Bud Lite when I'm with my redneck pals, used to like Dixie when I could find it, and a long time ago, when I was a struggling college student, I liked Shaffer's (sp?) when I was po'. I've even had a Pabst Blue freakin' Ribbon. ;)

I tried a micro brew in Missouri one time that had freakin' jalapeno's in it. It was mighty tasty, but they wouldn't let you take it across state lines..... :frownthre

Yep. What about y'all?

Pearl's still alive here in Texas, SG. A friend of mine that owns a pub (it's nice to have friends that own pubs) ;) likes to drink it all the time.

Guinness, Killians, Corona, Becks, Cabo Wabo Tequila
Labatts Blue, MooseHead, Molson's gotta love Canadian
beer also, more alcohol than those wimpy american beer.:laugh
Alot of the micro brews are good too. Nothing better
than fresh beer. YUM ;)

I dont drink much beer, but when I do I like Sam Adams. Best beer I ever had: pony keg of Michelob in college with some teammates after season's end...

http://www.millerhighlife.com/Millerhighlife/images/chopper1.jpg

Miller High Life the Champagne of beers rock.

Sam Adams Summerale right now Is hard to beat

Guinness is the beer of the gods...
I'm with Whispanic!!! GUINNESS!!! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. :D :drinkbeer

beer is good :doh i like bud light,mic light,coors, miller ,strohs,PBR,milwalkies best, but my favorite is FREE BEER! :banana

Yuengling Black & Tan!

I like anything by Molson, Labatt's Blue, Guinness, Magic Hat #9 is my favorite right now, it's from Vermont. #9 has a slight apricot aftertaste in a Pale Ale. It is close to Anchor Steam Beer which is good too. Sam Adams is good from Boston, and Harpoon, from Boston and Vermont.

Well, gotta go. I think there's 9 #9's in the fridge calling me, but it could be more like 7.

sportster girl--
I understand wanting to try all the different beers, but Pabst Blue Freakin Ribbin????/ come on

Corona light, Sam Adams, Mich. light

sportster girl--
I understand wanting to try all the different beers, but Pabst Blue Freakin Ribbin????/ come on
Yeah, I thought the same. I was born and raised spittin' distance from the Pabst brewery and I still wouldn't drink it. Sorry SG, but as long as YOU like it..... :o :roflblack

Well, when we were kids standing on the corner asking someone to buy it for us, :shhhh I'd drink anything from schlitz and black label, to bud, michelob, rolling rock and haffenreffer (skunk piss).

Now that I'm older, wiser, and my tastes have drastically changed, I won't drink anything except Guinness, and maybe Killians or Sam Adams if thats all they have. I try to avoid pubs that don't have Guinness though. My friends say I'm a pita because of that but I like what I like. :)

I had the best beer I've ever drank back in the mid 80's. I was staying in a small town in Belgium called Florenville. There was a the Orval monastery there that brewed Orval beer and it was sooooo damn good. Even room temp the berr was the best I ever tasted. I was busted at Heathrow coming home and they opened my suitcase and found 4 six-packs instead of my clothes. But they were cool and let me take them.

I have to order it special when I get the craving. :drinkbeer

guinness, bass, becks dark, heineken dark, various "micro" brew darks, porters and stouts

and the number one beer in the world

Chimay Red - but only on very special occaisions.

My personal favorites are Warsteiner and Guinness.

I prefer homebrew myself.

Most commercial beers filter out some of the best parts of the beer.

I've actually gotten to the point now where I can't hardly stomach much else. Luckily, we have a really good brewpub here.

However, Corona, Killians, or Shiner will do in a pinch.

fin du monde

or just about anything made by Unibroue

Oh mighty Canadians!

Were all a bit spoiled here in Oregon, we are the Microbrew capital of the country, so, at home Kokanee, anything Portland brewing makes, and when I'm out, I go to McMinnaman's brewpub, they Make there own on the premises.
Hammerhead stout or Cascade head ale are my all time favorites there.

i used to drink just about anything

voluntarily on the wagon now though

http://www.brandchannel.com/images/FeaturesProfile/profile_img1_san_miguel.gif or this http://sportsmed.starwave.com/media/pg2/2003/0904/photo/vb_i.jpg

only place i've had san miguel is in the PI

that and bullfrog's

oh the pain of waking up the next day

Don't really drink much anymore, used up my allotment
But when I do it has to be Beer...Guinness or any Stout/Porter
Sierra Nevada, Pacifico, Red Stripe for a light beer, Bass, Sam Adams.....need flavor

only place i've had san miguel is in the PI

that and bullfrog's

oh the pain of waking up the next day

Hey Moker,
You know you can get 'em here in San Diego.

Domestic it's Miller Lite (gotta support my driver #2) but my fav is Moosehead, or Kokenee yummmy....ice cold...but I was raised on good ole Rainer until I moved away and couldn't get it anymore.

Killian's or Miller Genuine Draft-NO Budweiser (headache) :drinkup

EJlab and Moker,

Some friends and I were lamenting here about not having a San Miguel's since the PI, so I got on the San Miguel website to inquire where the nearest distributor was from Corvallis...man, did they hook us up! They started having it delivered to two beer stores right here in town, and then sent me a ball cap and a nice polo shirt (with the San Miguel logo on it, of course)! I thought that was pretty good customer service...

And like JeffyTune mentioned, it's hard not to sample the numerous micro brews from around the state of Oregon!

I work in the Agricultural Research field, and our scientists here in Corvallis have developed three of the world's different types of hops over the years: The Cascade, The Willamette, and the Mt. Hood! I love the smell of hops...I swear I almost get a buzz off of going into the hops processing rooms! And I don't get a beer gut that way! :D

CORONA, killians or my fave rustys red (chilis :dpepper brew no longer avail round here)

This might be somewhat blasphemous, but I like whatever's on sale.

Tecate, lots of it! I really enjoy Mexican beers, gotta be cold!

What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No one else drinks Busch Light????????????????
What the Hell is wrong with all of you people???????????????
You can get a 30 pack for $12.99.

Jesus, it must be nice to be rich like all of you expensive beer drinkers. :D :D :D :D :D

Gennesse Light (Cant get it here.....one thing I miss about Rochester NY)
Millers High life (bottle)(not genuine draft)
Pabst blue ribbon (can)

Also like cold beer, and free beer :smoke

Whats a barf ridge? HEHE just had to do it......sorry :laugh

GSB_77_XL, I forgot to put Busch Light down on my original post! I'm not rich like these other fancy beer drinkers either, but I do demand my Busch Light in a bottle...placed in the freezer from the refrigerator for ten minutes...not eleven, not nine, but a digital timer set for ten minutes...just a hint of frost on that first sip, then it's ice cold for the remaining eleven ounces! Thanks for bringing up one of the best brands in the nation of blue collars! :D

I'm not rich like these other fancy beer drinkers
:drinkbeer Life is way too short to drink cheap beer! :cheers

Hell yeah now you are talkin my language!!!!!!!!
But Busch Light is good at almost any temparature. I got used to drinking it warm so all of my buddies wouldnt drink it all for me. I usually only keep two or three in the fridge replace it when I get one for me. :laugh

Anybody in the midwest remember when Old Style was really Old Style? Before it was bought out by a few different brewers, and it dominated the Chicago market? Remember the cans, with all the little pictures, and everyone had a story on what they meant? Well, City Brewery in LaCrosse (the original Old Style brewery) still makes something real close. The beer they brew still uses the Kraeusening process. And they are still the ones with the Worlds Largest Six Pack.

http://www.citybrewery.com/

Get him, GSB_77_XL, you're closer! Once you get him to try a Busch Light, he won't be going back to that Canadian beer any time soon! :D

Although I will admit that I've rented a semi-truckload of Moosehead in my life...ya can't really own beer...all you can do is rent it! By the end of the evening, I'm drinking one beer and peeing two...still trying to figure that out! :D

Guinness
Murphy's Stout
Smithwicks
Yuengling
Fat Tire
Rolling Rock
Snake River Lager

Depends on where I'm at

Bartender, 8 more and I'm out of here!

:drinkbeer Life is way too short to drink cheap beer! :cheers

Yeah but cheap beer can get you in just as much trouble as expensive beer. :D :D :D

If it's anytime close to driving/riding time then nothing at all, not a drop, nada, zip, etc, etc.

Any other time, guinness or Kilkennys.

PlanB,
What we get here stateside though is what they call "for export only" which has a lower alcohol content to meet the law requirements here. The original has, I think, 12%.

Viva Negra Modelo!!!

http://img5.picsplace.to/img5/1/b_negramodelo.jpg

Some Guiness too, if it's on tap.

And if I'm running low on $$ at the TT Roadhouse, (http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/issues/2004-06-17/news/inferno.html) PBR in a can works great too.

I'll take a Hieneken if I can't find a Grolsh. :thinkbeer

http://www.grolsch.com/

guinness, bass, becks dark, heineken dark, various "micro" brew darks, porters and stouts

and the number one beer in the world

Chimay Red - but only on very special occaisions.

Had that the other day! I wanted to know what a beer with a "99" rating tasted like. Pretty good but mabey a lil too much for my needs. Never had a beer that cost more than a 6 pack og Guinness...but hey I wanted to try the metrosexual thing just once :)

Adios

sportster girl--
I understand wanting to try all the different beers, but Pabst Blue Freakin Ribbin????/ come on

Hey merc, you can't be a true redneck without at least tasting a PBR!! :p

Favorite when I can get it (or afford it): Nut Brown Ale (http://www.southshorebrewery.com/products/nutbrown.html) from South Shore Brewery (http://www.southshorebrewery.com) in Ashland, WI

Out at the local pubs: Newcastle (http://www.newcastlebrown.com/home_f.php?flash=yes) on tap and almost any Leinenkugel's (http://www.leinie.com/beers2.htm) brew.

My garage frige is always stocked with beer. I've always got Leinie's original (http://www.leinie.com/original2.htm) for myself and Honey Weiss (http://www.leinie.com/honey_weiss.htm) for the Mrs.

Ninety-nine percent of the time I've got one variation or another of other brews by Leinenkugel's (http://www.leinie.com/beers2.htm) (can't wait for the Octoberfest and Big Butt!)

Jesus, it must be nice to be rich like all of you expensive beer drinkers. :D :D :D :D :D
And I got you there...Miller High Life Light...$10.49/30 pack by us. I always stock this so after the first 8-12 beers of the good stuff, when I reach the, "I don't give a shit just get me a beer while you're out there please." point then I can switch to the cheap shit. That way I don't waste the good stuff. Start the evening full of flavor (when I can appreciate and remember it) and end it cheaply when I don't care anymore.

Also, after mowing the lawn, there's nothing like guzzling an ice cold beer or two. I don't want to waste the good stuff on guzzling so I reach for a High Life Light.

Ya see, I love beer! I can't, however, drink it...'cuz I'm allergic! :frownthre

I do sneak one every year or so...but, I do pay a price (over and above the purchase cost!) fro doing so. :rolleyes:

What exactly is it in the beer that you're allergic to? Beer can be brewed in many different fashions with many different ingredients. If you can narrow it down to the one ingredient that you’re allergic to then you can enjoy beers of another flavor that don’t include that ingredient.

This all depends of course on what that ingredient is. If it’s actually alcohol that you’re allergic to then you’re screwed.

Never, never, NEVER give up on your quest for the perfect beer...in your case it would just be one that you can drink!

Oh DM, BUMMER man!!! I feel for ya!

Beer!?!?! You got my attention again Sportster Girl!! Between this and the food thread, I'm in heaven!
I love to brew and drink beer...I have five gallons each of a Hefewizen a Wit and an IPA (sort of...has a bit too much Munich malt to be a true IPA though) that I brewed a few months ago...got some hops growing up the side of my house that I plan on picking pretty soon (cascade, mt hood, and chinook)...as far as commercial beers I like:

any pale ale from the northwest US
Germany - hefewizens, grand cru, o-fest
Belgium - goldens, dubbles, triples, anything made by monks in an abbey :D
Ireland - ...well Guinness
England - prefer most of the English style stouts over a really dry Irish style (Guinness is the exception but they have the "twang") Old Peculiar, Old Speckled Hen
if I had to pick only one that is easy to find everywhere is would be Sierra Nevada Pale Ale because it's a great all around beer good for any season...good with a lot of different foods...etc, etc
not a big fan of the peat in the Scottish ales or the headache from budmichoors...the Asian beers don't really do it for me either...Mexico has got a good thing going with their two big brews but I don't drink them that often for no good reason...oh yeah...nothing skunked in a clear or green bottle...like some of the green bottle beer but it just doesn't keep the UV away from those poor hops :frownthre

I used to like beer A LOT! Heck my mom gave me my 1st one when I was like 11 I think because I was begging for a taste of hers. I only had 2 or 3 sips of it though and just pretended for an hour LOL I drank a lot of beer in my late teens and early 20's...well, a lot of other alcohol too....party girl and all ;)

I can't drink beer anymore though because my stomach, well, let's just say they don't agree with each other anymore. I do partake of I guess girly-type mixed drinks now and then though....Kahlua & Cream and Mudslides are my favorite.

@raysheen...no shoving Necessary.:)

for just plain "Beer" I get Miller Lite or MGD Light. I'd be big as a house if I drank what I wanted whenever I wanted.

When I entertain or am being entertained, I Go for the "Good Stuff" Like Guinness, Bass, any Porter or Stout.

If I am alone and walk into a place for "a cold one", I look around...If I see 4 outta 5 folks at the bar have whatever is locally favored, say Old Mil in a 16 oz "Kinger" can, I get what He's having, just so's I don't stand out. "Do you have Anchor Steam in a bottle? It's the only beer I can tolerate." doesn't go over too well in the hills of western Bum!!!!.

Otherwise, I have no objection to any of the brands mentioned in the last coupla days...I would gladly enjoy any of these brews should anybody be in the Chicago area...:)

Bud Light and Miller Genuine Draft Light and just about any other beer. Even Genny if I have too. :)

I will be drinking massive quantities of this in about a week as long as the plane don't go in the drink!

http://angeles2.com/board/attachments/582645-Image010.jpg

I have really no favorite beer. Did a lot of PBR, OLY and Meister Brau as a teen ager. Drank alot of Old Style, Miller, and BUD. Switched to Rolling Rock for a while and went to the liquor store and picked out a six of any import or micro brew to try. Do mostly Bud Light now because that is what my friends drink, but we just had 2 new pubs open up around here one serves micros and imports and the other believe it or not sells what he calls vintage beers. These are Hamm's, Stroh's, PBR, Schlitz, and Falstaff. He has tons of old Hamms and vintage signs and lights even videos of old beer commercials, it is my new favorite place to go.

Cabby

I will have a miller light.....and since I dont drink much,after the miller light,Im going to 100 vodka with a lemon :smoke

Beer is the one thing I have never aquired a taste for. Tried many when I was young, could never get pass about 3 sips before pouring it out.

BUDWEISER!!!! :D

mmm beer

i got a couple of favorites

*Shiner
*Dos Equis
*Fat Tire
*Rogue Dead Guy Ale

Kegs an endangered species in Muncie, Ind.


The Associated Press

(Published: August 26, 2005)

MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) - Beer drinkers in this college town will have to settle for bottles or cans, as more than a dozen liquor stores have quit selling kegs.

The stores are hoping to ditch low profits from kegs, compared with beer sold by the case. Some say they also hope the move will help cut down on alcohol-related violence and accidents.

"The majority of students are very angry because they don't get why we're doing this," said Chris Johnson, manager of Muncie Liquor.

All six of the chain's stores have been no-keg zones since last weekend. At one store, a popular mural featuring a Ball State University Cardinal with a keg and the logo "Keg Headquarters" has been painted over.

Kegs are among the least profitable items a liquor store can sell, said Johnson, who estimated the gross profit on a $49.99 keg at $4.99. From that profit margin comes other costs, including refrigeration and damage caused by the cumbersome containers.

"A keg weighs 165 pounds. That's a lot of weight for my people to handle," said Johnson. "It's tough on our equipment, it's tearing up our coolers, and I no longer see the profitability of it."

But some beer drinkers - particularly those of college age - don't understand why the stores would quit selling a product that is sought-after, profitable or not.

"You tell kids at other schools that you go to Ball State, and now you're going to hear, 'You mean that school where you can't buy a keg?'" senior Aaron Shepard said.

Muncie Liquor isn't alone. Save-On Liquor has quit selling kegs at its six stores in Muncie, and Friendly Package also has joined in.

Kegs are still available, Friendly Package manager Mike Kilgore pointed out. But they may be difficult to find in Delaware County.

Last Saturday, Ball State senior Garen Garrison and his college buddies drove to Anderson to pick up a $76 keg.

No WAY would we have survived at UW-Stout in Menomonie, WI without our trusty keg parties. WTF?!

Sounds like alcohol abuse to me!

Vodka . . . Who would have thunk it?

1. To remove a bandage painlessly, saturate the bandage with vodka. The solvent dissolves the adhesive.

2. To clean the caulking around bathtubs and showers, fill a trigger- spray bottle with vodka, spray the caulking, let set five minutes and wash clean. The alcohol in the vodka kills mold and mildew.

3. To clean your eyeglasses, simply wipe the lenses with a soft, clean cloth dampened with vodka. The alcohol in the vodka cleans the glass and kills germs.

4. Prolong the life of razors by filling a cup with vodka and letting your safety razor blade soak in the alcohol after shaving. The vodka disinfects the blade and prevents rusting.

Can't remember the name..German Beer(wheat beer) ..it is "cloudy", meaning you can't see thru it. Fabulous...buddy of mine from Berlin lived near me in N. Calif. and it got these 20 bottle cases..The best beer I've had...and a nice kick to it as well.

Ten pages here and I have NOT seen anyone mention the beer I grew up "sneaking" . SCHLITZ !!!!!!!!!!!!! Hell, I still think they have it around here at some of the bars... Used to love that Schlitz...hell at 16 I loved BEER period . :smoke

I remember having the Schlitz Shitz a few times while growing up...we used to buy these Schlitz Malt Liquor "double cases"...48 cans of six ounce Schlitz Malt Liquor...the only rule was we had to drink those six ounces through a straw! Now THAT was a beer buzz! Totalled a real nice '63 Comet Convertible on one of those nights! :frownthre

If Im not going to be drinking 10-15 of em' I like Ace pear cider. Guinness is nice also. Abita Turbo Dog.

If Im not busted. Coors light
If I need a price break. Lone Star

Hey, Octoberfest is coming up soon... I will have to scoot over and get some Hefeweizen style brew...

Sounds like alcohol abuse to me!

Vodka . . . Who would have thunk it?

Grolsch or Corona

Back in the 60's in NJ the blue laws were such that the only way Beer could be purchased after 10PM or on a Sunday was in a cardboard takeout container!

These were similar to a chinese food container and were filled right from the tap with a foam head and all. They were quart size! :clap :smoke

We used to get a case of containers! Damn was that Beer good! Didn't matter what kind it was, it must have been the cardboard that added that special flavor!!!! :roflblack :banana :banadanc :D

Try looking for a german Hefewizen (a wheat beer made hazy mostly by the suspension of yeast) or a wit like hogaarden (a wheat beer made hazy by protein in the wheat itself) though this is actually a belgian style beer and not from germany

Didn't read the whole thread, but I am an all-grain home brewer. Nice hobby. You would be surprised at how good homebrew can be now-a-days.

i usually drink bud heavy...or whatever is free :banana :banana :banana i recently tried a beer in south dakota...i can't remember the name but the label said it had yeast added to it so it would continue to ferment after it was bottled. It was popular there and some places even had it on tap...a little help here. I would like to pick up some more but I can't remember what it was called!!! :doh :doh :doh It was not a dark beer.

hmm do you know what style it was? How about some more info on the label? Was it a local beer? might be able to figure it out with some more info but a lot of beers have yeast added to the bottle for carbonation. :D

Something interesting I have observed, if you have a variety of cans of beer in a big container of ice water,the Mexican beer cans all sink to the bottom and all the others rise to the surface, anyone know why?

hmmm, I never did notice that ... if it happens it's simply because the mexican beer + beer can + headspack is more dense than the water while the other beer + can + headspace is less dense than water...it could just be that they fill the cans more (is it a "normal" size can)...or it could be that they use a special type of aluminum that floats :roflblack ...or it could be the density of the beer itself :D the temp of the beer to begin with may have played a roll in this too...like if one type of beer was hot and one was already cold

You two stop getting scientiffical and drink the beer!

good point...that's what it's all about! :D
though I have been known to discuss the specific gravity of beer and the strain of yeast on other (read: brewing) forums I'll try to resist that here :laugh

Huh. One time we were at the lake in the boat. I was in the boat, the boys floating around on rafts/tubes. "Toss us some beers!!"

So, I proceeded to toss some beers in glass bottles to 'em. I figured they'd float, and the boys could pick 'em up outta the water. Nope. I was wrong (for the first time in my life, I might add :p ) and those beers went down faster than a crack ho' needin' a fix.

It's really sissified when grown men cry like that..... :roflblack

COLD BEER !! There is no such thing as bad beer.( except beer from France never drink beer from France, pure skunk water.) other than that all beer is good in its own way from the cool refreshing miller light to the ,make your tongue smack you brains out , flying dog snake dog IPA.

At my local watering hole, $.25 from each beer purchased is given to local Fire Fighters. It tastes great too!

Honeyweiss for me. Not sure if I spelled it correctly, but it is the only beer I can drink that doesn't give me a headache after one beer.

Now you are talking! There is nothing like a Belgium Al. Those Trappist Monks sure know how to brew.

Love Micro brews, the all time best has to be Molson MAXXimum Ice.

Tetley smooth for me .
you want to take that back as they've put it in a John Smiths glass, or is it like my local where any glass will do:p

Im a Shiner drinker myself.... probably dont get that outside of Texas, but its good.. I also have a bud who brews his own... thats some tasty stuff.. and it is STRONG! ei higher Alchohol content

cant go wrong with a Dab Dortmunder,as long as its fresh,but a becks or a hiney will do good to

Yuengling for me.

I used to drink lotsa Sam adams, but I had some Kilkenny straight from the brewery here in Golden yesterday, and that tastesGOOOOD!!

Guinness is the beer of the gods...

+1 Guinness, on tap, poured by a patient barmaiden.......

guinness, bass, becks dark, heineken dark, various "micro" brew darks, porters and stouts

and the number one beer in the world

Chimay Red - but only on very special occaisions.

Hmmmm......

Darkness is good.:D

Since this thread has resurfaced I'm going to post to it again.

I've since taken a great liking to Sam Adams Octoberfest.
So much so, that I went and bought the last two cases
my local guy had. May not seem like a lot but I only drink
one bottle a night so it will last a while anyway then I'll go
to a nightly guinness at room temp. :D

Bud Light or Busch Light when I am hanging around the house.

Killians when I go out.

Water the next day:frownthre

Fat Tire smoooth.

Canadian beer.
Yes sir... we know hockey and we know beer.
Give me a frosty Molson ale any time.

Sam Adans..... Bud and Bud light with the race car guys cuz the car owners like it and they buy lots of it........and Heinekin light when I'm out with Chiccy cuz she likes it....

Ww

I'll still stick with Crown & Coke or BudLight...

IBC Root Beer

Brew my own and have it down to 3 recipes. One is a Dark sweet Porter low alcohol, next is very close to Red Hook ale about 5 to 5.5 and and Light summer lager closest thing would be a bit hopier Lowenbraw. I have 2 specials that are Christmas brews one contains coffee and one with:smoke. I don't brew much anymore but I always have some on tap. 15 gal batches last me a long time now.

I have had beers from all over the world as I'm sure many of you all have too. BUT... give me a freakin Budweiser and a shot of Jim Beam and I'm a happy man. Keep It Simple Stupid. I'll never take more than 2 seconds to place my bar order. i hate when the cocktail waitress says, whadll ya'll have? and some idiot is asking for a "beer menu" or whatever, just order a bud and stop prolonging me getting mine.

Oh yeah I brew a pretty mean rootbeer and a lemon ginger beer too.

HOO RAH!!!

I'm a Bud Light guy all the way. If you want to buy me a beer I will drink anything, but if I can choose Bud Light is the way to go.

Canadian beer.

I like the one, I think it is called Molsen. Not sure, but it has a blue lable w/ the red maple leaf. Had it for the first time in Vancouger when I was 19. I have loved it every since.

Murphy's Stout on tap is the beer for me. :drinkbeer

If that's not available, I'll have the Guinness. :wonderlan

Failing that, just give me a Molson Canadian and be done with it. :laughDraught!. Ice cold!

Hi mk2wilson... notwithstanding our similar taste in beer,
we both have yellow 1200R models. Mine is an '05.
It's the one in my avatar.
Great taste knows no boundaries !!!

First of all, my utmost favorite beer has to be Free and COLD, but depending on the beer, cold it does not have to be. Other than that, I drink sam's Boston Lager on a daily basis, and enjoy area microbrews. Variety is the spice of life!

Coors Light ICE COLD.

My vote is for Miller Lite...

Becks or Sam Adams for me.

jackmans pale ail from left hand brewery in longmont co.:)

Yuengling Lager for me.
Liked it better before all the yuppies discovered it.

Used to get 16oz Returnables for $12, even better when I went to the drive through beer distributer and they simply replaced the case in the back seat of my mustang ragtop :)

Good ole days of being single

Why did that change your opinion of it? I've heard a lot of people brag about it, tastes like Rolling Rock to me. Which is ok, I like Rolling Rock. It just meant that Yuengling was not special.

Still like Yuengling and its the beer of choice. Just so many people do things cause everyone else does, not because they like it. Kind of like lemmings.

hmmmm..guiness or newcastle....yum

Was drinking Newcastle brown from two weeks old ,and went on to Newcastle amber which is now hard to find.Some good local ones in suffolk from the Earl Soham brewery,
but my latest tipple is Hobgoblin ruby ale, or a good single malt. :clap:clap

I'll take an Icy cold High Life, get yourself one too!

Bud Light, Budweiser, and Busch Light are my most consumed beers. Believe it or not I enjoy their taste but I usually drink it at parties at excessive quanitities lol.

Leinenkugels Honey Weiss is my favorite if I am only having a few. Also Red stripe is another one I enjoy in moderation.

Yeah, I am only 18...but you guys know how that works.

I drink Odouls, the best thing about is that I can drink as many as I want to and drive anywere I want to after ward. How many have i had to drink? dont know I lost count,Take a breathaliser test.. no problem..humm reads zero, maybe its broke. What was I drinking? Odouls you want one?

Genese Cream Ale.

Tough to find around here.

Miller Lite. My favorite beer is Henry Weinhardts pale ale, but I can't find it living here in Iowa, I used to live in Idaho and that's where I first discovered it.

Pabst Blue Ribbon!

Just popped the cap from a bottle of Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale (brewed in Nova Scotia, Canada) fired up the computer, opened the XLF Portal and the first post was "BEER".

Life is good :cheers

Koot

Guinness is the beer of the gods...

Nuff said for sure!!:drinkbeer It's the elixer of life!!

This place just gets better and better :clap

As a house staple, we seem to go thru a lot of Henry Weinhards Blue Boar Ale here, it is nothing less then a poor mans Heineken.

I have sampled some real nice beers over at my daughters house recently, one called Euphorique, I know, sounds lame, but we were taste testing, and this one was real good. Then there was a homebrew that I really liked too.

I know the IPA's are well spoken of, but they just don't float my boat...

This is where I plan to be this next Saturday :smoke
