Great Beer

[Gooderham 1st MRB]

So this is NOT your average beer thread. There is no poll, no argument, just great beer.

With that being said, what is your favourite quality beer?

Tin Whistle Brewing Companies "killer bee" Dark Honey Ale

6%; $5 650mL

[Zahl 1st MRB]

kilkenny

tuborg

Munkholm

Aas

[I have no arms BAR]

My favorites are:

Red Nectar Ale

Blue Moon Wheat Ale

Red Hook ISP

[Mamora BAR]

Molsen and Hieneken

havnt tried many unique beers but im getting there @_@. Firestone was alright but coulda been better. Gonna give Ricards a try next and i just got done trying Kokanee.

[Vogt]

Bud Light

Corona w/ lime (tastes salty as hell without)

I would like to try different beer. Soo... SUGGESTIONS!

[J. Clark]

in my opinion the bests are Heineken and Yuengling lager

[Gooderham 1st MRB]

Bud Light

Corona w/ lime (tastes salty as hell without)

I would like to try different beer. Soo... SUGGESTIONS!

I said GREAT beer, Bud Light is most definitely not. Mamora, I would avoid Kokanee like the plague.

[Ford 1st MRB]

In that order. Do yourselves a favor and try one of them, or all three, you'll thank me.

I also drink Blue Moon draft with an orange wedge, Heineken, Bud Light when I'm broke, and I can put down some Yeungling.

Also,

St. Paulie Girl Dark:

Grolsch:

Yona Yona: If you can find this stuff, buy it!!!!! Hands down, one of the best beers I have ever tasted. Tried it at a beer tasting festival in Dallas. All I can say is... droooooolllllllllll....

[McKenzie 1st MRB]

Can't go wrong with a nice tall cold one of Sam Adams Winter Lager.

But if I had to choose one thats a little less known, probably a Leinenkugel Honey Weiss. Fucking Delicious.

also

Strongbow Hard Cider is win.

[Zachow 1st MRB]

Leinenkugel is some good stuff most of their stuff is. Been to their brewery. Milwuakee is named for beer and if you go into that district all you can smell is hops and yeast.

[Goodwin 1st MRB]

Well, I'm a homebrewer myself - and so far, of my 4 batches - every one of them has been DELICIOUS. Loads of flavor, and a decent example of each respective style.

Of stuff I can buy?

I enjoy IPA's mostly, or things with a lot of hop flavor.

Hop Rod Rye - Bear Republic - If you can get your hands on this - DO IT. AMAZING beer. Rye IPA that has tons of flavor with a great hops kick!

Iniquity - Southern Tier - I recently came across this dark IPA, and it's absolutely amazing! The 9%abv sneaks up on you because it has NO alcohol taste at all, and is smooth as silk.

Hopslap - Bells - I'll admit - I LOVE hops!! And this is one amazingly hoppy/delicious beer! Not for the weak of heart.

http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/287/17112

Hop Devil Ale - Victory Brewing - another Hopnasty beer that takes a certain kind of character to enjoy it's insanely hopped up flavor.

http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/345/1005/

Double Trouble - Founders - Once more, another hopped up beer with a lot of hit. It's got a pretty high ABV so be on the lookout after a few of these... it'll getcha there quick and the flavor will keep you tippin 'em back!

http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1199/34146

And I can't forget this one - It's a DARK beer - the opposite of the others I have above really... but it's one of my favorites for SURE!

Dragon's Milk - New Holland - Dark with great flavor and a good hit to it.

http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/335/5428

I recently brewed up 2 batches - one was a Dunkelweisen which turned out REALLY well, although the alcohol content was low in it. That didn't bother me because after letting it sit an extra month or so, the flavor really came out, nice smokey tones with a crispness to it that was good. The other was a Ginger Pale Ale using a recipe my buddy created for me. It turned out really well, but was a touch on the 'sweet' side for me.

There's a local ale house not far from me that a buddy and myself go to once in a while. They get tons of hard to get beers in on tap straight from the breweries every once in a while (we go to those release nights for sure!). It's amazing how much absolutely brilliant beer there is all over the country!

If any of you are beer nuts and want to trade for more local beers you can't get other places, I'm TOTALLY up for it!

[Englebretson 1st MRB]

i dont drink hardly as much as i used to but i like having a corona with lime on a nice summer day or if im just chilling something cheap like miller or bud. everyone has their own preferance of choice and i respect that but dont forget if your plan is just to get shit faced get a case of cheap ass beer and enjoy.

[Tragedy]

honestly id agree with vogt with the corona and a lime that is a very enjoying beer i usually order them when i go out to dinner or something but to jus sit around the house with a bbq or something id always get coors light or molson canadian has to be ice cold on a hot summer day almost slushy

I just cracked open a bottle of St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout, and was it ever good. For anyone who enjoys a nice dark beer this is for you. Coffee and Chocolate flavours, absolutely amazing.

I'll have to check that out!

Going out to get some alcohol later tonight with the lady. Since the kids are with their mom this weekend, we usually have 1 night where we enjoy drinks and have a lazy night

I have long been afraid of dark beers, but lately I've really come to enjoy them.

Thanks for the suggestion!

[Whitebeard]

I find it very suspicious that Ford likes the same beers as my mom....

-Whitebeard

[Ford 1st MRB]

Well, when she has them on tap in her basement, it's not weird at all.

[Parker 1st MRB]

[Gooderham 1st MRB]

Needs more hops.

[Stab N' Grab]

Ready to get your tastebuds blown the fuck up by traditional Bavarian brewing? Try any one of these, you will not be disappointed.

[Lee1]

+1 for Keith's....

[Harvey]

Three Floyd's is a favorite of mine. They've got the brewery only a few miles away from my house. Tours are cheap, and the food is great too. Gumball Head is probably the Three Floyd's beer I like best, though Alpha King isn't bad either.

[Dillon 1st MRB]

Quite possible the best beer in the world.

A couple of other favorites that haven't been mentioned yet.

I live 20 miles from the New Belgium brewery so Fat Tire is still one of my favorites.

I'm almost ashamed how much I like this particular beer.... but I LOVE Rock Bottom Brewery's Irish Red.

My daily drinkers are decent beers that don't break the bank: Blue Moon (with the stupid slice of orange cause its freaking good) and Miller High Life. It IS the champagne of beers.

[Jasko]

Sprecher Special Amber. It's a bit of an acquired taste but good.

[Stab N' Grab]

Alright that's it, I'm buying some beer for tonight lol

i know how you feel, i went through and re-read this thread, and now i am fiending for a nice tall cold glass of thick, frothy, foamy, delicious dark beer.
