find a bottle-shop (liquor shop in us, i think) and see if they have imported ANYTHING from anywhere. I recommend Polish beer (try "Hansa". it's the answer.) |

**************
You know, when I was a teen, many many moons ago, I hated the taste of beer...while all my friends were doing the macho thing and chug-a-lugging six packs, I avoided it with a passion. Then, I came home from a long hot bike ride in the middle of the summer about 5 years ago...must have been about 95 out... and the only thing in the frig was a a couple of bottles of Sam Adams (I was living with a couple of housemates then). I chugged those so fast, and now love beer! Still love the Sam Adams, but also like some of the foreign ones too.

I hear that!! Everytime out of a canyon or long backpacking trip...ice cold beer in the cooler waiting. Not to mention the nearest steak joint and more beer. NOTHIN BETTA!!
Reminds me. Anyone stopped into Moab, UT at Eddie McStiff's? That beer always tastes damn GOOD!! Not to mention the food. Gotta love microbreweries around here. I can get that one in the liqour store as well. SCHWWEEET! |

Sorry to ring in so late, but nothing beats:
St-Ambroise Pale Ale and St-Ambroise Oatmeal Stout. Ambrosia from the GODS!
Oh! did I mention I work there. It's really great beer, and I get it FREE! WOOHOO!
Cheers!

Texas is home to one of the best beers... Shiner Bock. Brewed right there in Shiner Texas. You should go give it a try. I know many who would be jealous of the access you have to this fine beer.

And some of the consequences, as discussed in this thread.
Please note my funny but tasteless joke (probably on the second page)....
I like Guinness too, although I've never been to Ireland. I guess it can only get better. Way back when I made beer, I made a pretty dark one too, but of course not the same. I seem to remember at our local Irish pub (after soccer games), a lot of the guys liked a lager with Rose's lime juice, but I think that was perhaps due to the unusual post-game circumstances.
I do remember one occassion (late 1970's?) when I was having a Loewenbrau Dark, and mentioned to my companions how it tasted "funny" ... only then to find out it was no longer imported, but licensed to Miller, and brewed in Azuza, California. Maybe I'll get to Bavaria someday and taste the real thing again.
I'd probably like any been with some "character" to it -- as a "youngster" we even used to get Rainer Ale (aka "The Green Death") when we needed a good shaking-up.
I think the old Hamms brewery next to U.S. 101 in San Francisco had the best sign (30-foot tall "Glass" which gradually filled with neon "beer"). My grandfather (a rather slender guy) drinking a beer was one of the most "refreshing" sounds I ever heard.

| Leinenkugel's Creamy Dark and Carona in the fridge, but I like many of the micro brews - they are always have a fresh taste. Currently I like to taste the Fox River Brewing Company samples at Fratello's in Oshkosh, WI. Mexican beers are good in Mexico - (Dos Equis Tecate Noche Buena Carta Blanca) and Carona is usually available here. English Whitbread stuff has been stellar and Guinness is always a quality drink. The German brews are king. |

GeneralE: as convener of this here thread, thanks for bringing that up. Everyone needs to be aware of the conscequences of the issues discussed within that thread.
I always support the responsible consumption of alcohol.
Now, back to beer discussion:
I've experienced another stout in my voyage of discovery: Sheaf Stout (Carlton & United Breweries, AUS)

You should try Coopers (AUS) it has chunks. I'd imagine they're the only brewers in the world that make a crunchy stout. (and I'm sure people could contest that).
mmmmm..... dark and nutty..... |
Coopers Sparkling Ale is great too. Cloudy - but fine!

No, it is true that people from England drink warm beer.
It's because they deserve it.

For one thing, because you can taste beer once it's up over 50 degrees F or so. Below that, most of the aromatic volitiles have markedly lessened effect.
Typical "American beer" is served icy-cold partly to obscure the fact that it usually doesn't contain any aromatic volitiles .... |

Which is a fancy way of saying that most mass market American beers taste of cow by-products. :)

There are however some American beers in the mainstream which are quite good - Sam Adams, Anchor Steam, even MGD and Michelob. Rolling Rock also. I think it's in the water :-). |

I'm completely with you on this one.
Next might be a cool Asahi Super Dry on one of these muggy nights. |
Oh, that's right I forgot about Asahi Super Dry. That's a good one. |

Although I've never drunk Hoegarten, I know a couple of devoted fans that claim it is 1st rate.
Regarding the temperature of beer.....Guinness actually makes 2 versions, Guinness and Guinness Extra Cold (which is not too popular in Ireland, but drawn at various pubs for the "visitors"). I believe it is exported as well, most likely to the US.

Ever had "delirium trements"? I mean the Belgian brew of course. Any thing with pink elephants on the bottle needn't taste so good, but it does.

Speaking of spanish beers, my favorite one is Cruzcampo. It's a very light lager, I guess not very known out there, but very popular here in Spain.
Serve chilled. It's 40ºC (108ºF) today here, folks ;-) |

Silly question, of course.
At Uni we used to say "Drink Speights & loose your mates!"
Speights is a South Island beer, & I was in the North island.
Used to drink Lion & DB.
Remember the flagon days. You used to be able to bring a large bottle called a flagon & fill it yourself at a shop.
We used to call it a goon! |
