How about a thread for beer?
What kind of beer do You like?

Re: a Thread for beer
 

Brilliant - as always Zomb! -

My preference shifts with the weather - in warmer weather I prefer Labatt Blue Light - Crisp & refreshing! In colder weather (i.e. NOW) I like thicker beers - I quite like Sarnac's Black and Tan but even their Amber has a good warm tone to it.

On the odd occassion I drink Guinness - which I like but, to be perfectly honest, it tends to give me horrible flatulence (loud and stinky!).

There also used to be a great regional beer called Ithaca Amber, but it seems to have gone out of production. Ahh well.

What I hate are most American mass-manufactured beers (coors, whose politics I also loathe). Call me a snob

(in UK, for our brit friends, I was always partial to Bitter and used to really like Brains from Cardiff)

Wow..... You seem to be quite knowledgable about beer, much more than I.:)

ask my liver - or should i say - what's left of it

Miller is a very tasty cheap beer. Guiness Stout is also good. And there is a Tahitian beer called Hinano that is gooood on a hot day.

I had a great Czech beer called, but not to be mistaken with, "BudWeiser" - when I had it in Prague it was amazing. . . but then I found it in the US and it didn't taste as good. I assume this had something to do with US bottling regulations (or maybe just the travel time)

Nice thread.........best thread i've ever seen.

When i was a young beer noob i drank mostly Budweiser.I found it clean, refreshing and most importantly...consistent. While all my friends drank Miller i stuck by my Bud.Then about 8 to 10 years ago, i found micro-brews. "What have i been missing"...i thought to myself.It opened up a whole new world of beer drinking to me.

Now that i'm older i don't drink half as much [ gotta watch the waist-line...and the liver,as zero pointed out ] but every weekend i will treat myself to a fine brew.

troeg's troegenator,hopback,dreamweaver and pale ale

mind you these are but a few...i love this stuff.

I haven't had very many types of beer, being under 21 and all. But there will always be a soft spot in my heart for Bud Light.

I enjoy microbrews, but lots of times I end up drinking shit b/c it's cheap and I like gettin fucked up. I drink the cheapest they got when in bars (usually) b/c the beer I like the taste of is usually like $3 apiece and up.

I guess my favorite stuff would be:
Anchor (anything. Porter, Steam, etc.)
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Beamish
Murphy's (red and stout)
Old Peculier
Guinness (only in the tall cans with the widget)


I guess none of these are really "microbrews," but we don't get a lot of selection down here in the deep. I can drink pretty much anything. From Schlitz (in the brown can, not the malt liquor) to PBR, from Natural Light to the Beast, I can down em all with equal fervor.

Well I started with Coors Light, but then I realized that I care what strangers on a forum think of me, so I stopped. Then it was Killian's Irish Red, before I realized it was owned by Coors.

Now I drink Rogue, specifically Dead Guy Ale. Good shtuff.

And apparently, since I'm not 30, I'm not ALLOWED to drink MGD. Who the hell thought that was a good marketing campaign?

oh - i almost forgot my old favorite from my homestate

Shiner Bock!


damn i miss it!

what about Lone Star???? that is THE beer of Texas!

oh crap. I forgot about Dead Guy. that stuff is awesome.

and anything by Abita, but especially TurboDog

it is!similar to arrogant bastard...i think.have you ever tried Rogue's Yellow Snow ale?

Ooh, I think Newb would disagree with you.

I have, its really good. I like all the Rogue beers. Saint Rogue Red is awesome stuff too.

em a non drinker myself..but on occasion
i will sip on my husbands steinlager..
when em really hot n thirsty.

he's entitled to his opinion.

Budweiser. Everyone wants a lil of da lou;) Thats what *I* hear anyways.

I still like Michelob.

the beer for transplanted yankees who clog the highways in texas --- real texans know to drink SHINER BOCK baby!

HA HA HA!!!!! that's awesome!

I love Shiner. in fact, I have a sixer of Shiner in my fridge right now. and Lone Star gives me a damn brain hemorrhage of a hangover.

the only thing special about it is that it's hard to find outside of Texas.

Me too.
I also really like Corona:cool:

Agreed on the Corona


Ive recently been drinking an Italian lager Nastro Azzuro but been trying and failing to find some Polish lagers here in the UK. Went over there for a long weekend and they had some very nice brews.

There's also this beer my rich stuck up friends introduced me to last year which is quite tasty: Dos Equis.
It's not expensive or anything.



Now I want a beer.

Great thread by the way!

My favs..

Grolsch Blonde / Summer

Molsen Canadian / Fall

St Pauli's Girl / Spring

Miller High Life Bottles / Party Time..Its the Champagne of Beers!

tell me about it - i now live in new york and can never find shiner - when i visited friends in austin last summer it drank so much shiner i was hungover for a week - but still i miss it

:(

Au contraire IA75. I think Stone brewery [Arrogant Bastard, Stone IPA ] and Rogue brewery [Dead Guy Ale,Hoppy Frog ] have very similar brews.

Well I guess that means that I'm not on your beer shit list anymore.

The thing about Miller: I ONLY like Miller High Life.

I tried the other ones, Genuine Draft, etc., but they're not the same. They taste overly bitter, and not in a good way like Guiness.

Regular Miller High Life, The Champagne of Beers, that is what I used to drink back in the day when I drank a lot of beer, a decent night was 32 ounces of that and a small bottle of vodka, very good for working late into the night.

Ooooooh I'm not supposed to think about that anymore. That was a long time ago, you know!

Sam Adams and Rogue.

Never were. I would never disrespect someone for their choice in beer.I ain't no "beer snob". Any comments i made were all done in fun.:D

Speaking of "beer snob" , i joined a "beer site" on the web, just to get different views on different beers. Now i thought i liked beer but these fucking people are obsessed with beer.You should read some of their reviews......hold on......let me get one......

"Poured from the bottle into a pub glass.

Appearance: The beer pours a clear amber coloration. The head was light honey coloration. Minimal lacing left behind on the glass.

Smell: A nice fruity malty introduction going to piney spicy hops.

Taste: The beer leads in with a slightly butter bready maltyness. This gives way to some citrus and then finally to the spicy hops.

Mouthfeel: The beer is light bodied plus. Slightly oily feeling to the palate."

See what i mean.....these people give WAY to much thought to beer drinking.

Budweiser
Killians
Sam Adams
Fosters
St. Pauli Girl
Michelob

Oh I know, totally got it was a joke.

would that be Beer Advocate?

You are correct sir.

todd and jason(alstrom bros.)they do know thier stuff.i tend to zone out myself when they start discussing food pairings and cheese!:p

When I was a wee youngin, and well underage (12 to be exact) I was introduced to Budweiser and swore by it for years. When I got about 17 I branched out and tried anything. College opened my eyes to alot of shit that I hadn't drank before. Anyways, Below I'll list some of the beers I drink.

Guiness
Corona
Budweiser
Bud Light
Dos Equis
Miller High Life
Bush Light(When you're poor, you can't beat a 30 pack for 12 bucks.)
Killian's Irish Red
Fosters
I know I've had and liked some imported mexican beers, but for the life of me I cannot rememebr their names. It was a few years back when I lived in the south.

[Edit] Damn you all...............I just got to work, it's 1:07 in the afternoon, and blowing snow like a motherfucker outside. Now all I can think about is beer.......Good thing I already got myself put on the go home early list. Here's to hoping I get to go home at lunch. :cool:

My brother-in-law is always trying to get me to go on one of their "beer-runs" about an hour away from me in Boston. They have been hitting my state lately as well.I don't know if i could spend a whole night talking about "the nutty aroma" or "malty sweetness" of beer.I just want to aim for my mouth and bang em out.

i know what you mean,it starts becoming work!i could just see myself on the receiving end of a beer-snob glare(that your not one of us look)and they throw my drunk ass out on the street!:rolleyes:

Exactly
