I'm completely with you on this one.

Next might be a cool Asahi Super Dry on one of these muggy nights.

Microbrew. Nuff said. :)

My top choices:
1)Guinness (Irish)
2)Harp (also Irish)
3)Woodchuck Dark Cider (not beer, but same concept)
4)Breckenridge Avalanche Ale (which I have just discovered I can possibly get out here Yay!)
5)Fat Tire
6)Victoria Bitter (Aussie) At the end of the list since I can't find an American distributor. :(

If you want a beer with a lot of kick to it try Bastard Ale. Made somewhere in California.

1. The last batch I bottled. (usually found in my basement)

2. Free beer (available nationwide on a sporadic basis)

3. Definitely not very high on the quality scale, but Lucky Lager is probably the most fun with the little rebus puzzles on the underside of the cap. Figure it out in 30sec or CHUG it! (never seen it outside of So Cal)

personnally
1) my home brew - only around in the fall and winter. its a take off from bass ale. it also is great mixed with guiness
2) bass ale
3) sam adams boston lager.
4) long trail ale ( local to vermont )
5) otter creek IPA ( local to vermont )
6) newcastle brown ale
on the lighter side
1) molson canadian
2) budweiser
and if you are in dire straits
1) milwaukees best....

although in general if it's beer - it's good ;} i won't drink it if it comes from a green or clear bottle though.

if you are a beer fan, and haven't home brewed - i'd look into it. it's pretty easy, and in expensive to get started, and you can add to the equipment and process as you get more familiar with it. it also makes a great gift or party guest item.

I'm not too big on beer but I do enjoy Alexander Keith's and Moosehead lager, both brewed right here in Halifax!
 06/22/2004 10:30:13 AM · #34

Ahhh! Finally a thread I can relate to :) One of the main reasons I am still living in Germany is that almost all the larger towns have their own brewery so the choices are many.... Here is a random list of my favourite (German) beers:

Becks
Veltins
Krombacher (My usual beer :)
Erdinger (Weizen beer)
Paulaner (Weizen beer)
Potts (flip top)
Jever Pils
Warsteiner
Rolinck
König Plisener
Bitburger
Radeberger
Diebels
Most kinds of Kölsch
Köstritzer Schwarzbier (excellent!!)
Flensburger Pilsener with the flip top.
And many more :)

If anyone happens to be visiting me at all they should be well trained in the art of beer tasting - Ask magnetic9999 :)

So you ask the bartender for "Ein Maß!" right? =)

Edit: Ps. Though I often like to try something new, I'm the Carlsberg (Danish) type of guy.

Caffery's
SkullSplitter Orkney Ale

Hoegaarden
Celis White
Paulaner (sp?) when I'm in Munich
various Duval's
Live Oak Pils
Shiner Bock
Fat Tire/ Sam Adams if I'm stuck and want something generic
budweiser is good for cleaning drains

I have a bad habit of drinking cheap beer. And my motto is the only thing better than cheap beer is free beer! :-P

it keeps my drain clean as a whistle ;}

Sierra Nevada Summerfest, but I'm biased as it's brewed in my home town.

Several of you talk about Hoegaarden. They make a lot of beers, do you like them all or especially the Hoegaarden Witbier (white beer, the pissyellow misty one).

I hate the white ones.

Yeah, we send all the skunky ones to the US :P

Beer in green bottles goes bad much faster than in brown bottles, by the way.

Delirium Tremens is one of my favourites.

Others:
Chimay Bleu
Chimay Rouge
Rochefort 10
Rochefort 8
Westmalle Triple Trappist
Westmalle Dubbel Trappist
Grolsch Herfstbok
De Gulden Draak
Hoegaarden 'The Forbidden Fruit'

Let me think for a while with the braincells that are still left (most of these beers are 8 to 12%).

One, and no more of the white ones. It tastes kinda nasty after more than one I've found.

Eventually this thread may get around talking to real drinks. At that point I'll mention my fondness for 21 year old glengoyne, though probably for a more general drink, 18 year old glenlivit is very tasty.

Hertog Jan Dubbel
Hertog Jan Tripel

Hertog Jan Janneke:


Leffe Triple
Judas
Pauwel Kwak
Palm Dobbel
Palm
Sjoes
And some special rare stuff from small local breweries.

I rarely drink pilsners, not enough taste, to watery. Especially the mainstream American ones are the worst, led by that poor excuse for a beer from Mexico: Corona. German Pilsners are usually very good.
I prefer the dark trappistes and alike from the Belgian monastaries. Also Bourbon, Whisky and Whiskey's, the base taste of whisky is the same as that of a good natural beer. It is just another way of processing and fermentation as the base ingredients are the same.

Fat Tire & Fosters!
 06/22/2004 05:04:49 PM · #49
- Kilkenny (draft)
- Unibroue (Chambly) beers (from Quebec), especially "Maudite"

Pretty much any Irish beer.

Don't forget Cognac's. My favorite at the moment is 'Chabasse', but it I can't afford anything better than the VSOP. But that one is very good already. This of course next to a fine, but mainstream collection of Courvoisier, Hennessy and Remy Martin.

In regard to the white beers: stay away from Witte Raaf and Blanche de Bruges if you don't like Hoegaarden white.
