[Zomby Woof]

I like Old Speckled Hen:



and Black Butte Porter:

[cathandler]

1. Fat Tire!!!

Woot!

[Omphaloskepsis]

13. Fat Tire is also my favorite..

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is my second favorite. Due to financial limitations I usually drink Milwaukee's Best Ice.

[fishwax]

49. Hooray for Fat Tire

Great beer from a great town.

Welcome to DU!

[Guava Jelly]

2. guiness and st pauli girl dark

[querelle]

3. Stella Artois

Yeah!

Q

[RebelOne]

4. Guinness Stout

In fact, I traveled to Dublin, Ireland just so that I could sit in a pub and drink Guinness on tap.

[AlCzervik]

5. Harp

[sbj405]

6. Smuttynose IPA

[Broken_Hero]

7. George Killians Irish Red

but, there was this raspberry ale I had up in Kansas...oh my gawd, it was awesome, but unfortunately, the place went under... I love micro brewery's....

[Zomby Woof]

10. I won't drink Killian's

Owned by uber-right-wing Coors Brewery. I always check the fine print.

[Broken_Hero]

12. I didnt' know that...oh damn...:(

Can't win them all... Still good stuff though, best on tap...Rolling Rock is pretty decent...for the longest time, i stayed away from budweiser, cause my pot head friends said budweiser supported keeping pot illegal, so we drank mgd for years...then I gave up mgd because of a sour/crappy tasting 18 pack....then I went too coors light, and now i'm between miller high life/keystone light, because of price...

8. Guinness Stout

[mtowngman]

24. Another Guinness Extra Stout here

thanks

[Luna_Chick]

47. Another Guinness Lover Ovah here

"Drink your Guinness. There are sober people in China."

[SaveElmer]

9. A good Pumpkin Ale...

Blue Moon or Jacks...

Also like Sam Adams Oktoberfest!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

17. I love the Blue Moon Pumpkin Ale!

I've never seen the Jacks' but I'll keep an eye out for it.

[smtpgirl]

32. Dogfish has Punkin' Ale too, umm good

Delaware makes some great beer

[CrushTheDLC]

37. Blue Moon is also a Coors product unfortunately

If you want a Colorado beer, gotta go with New Belgium Brewing Co. in Ft. Collins (makers of Fat Tire, among others)

[Dervill Crow]

45. I still have some pumpkin ale in the fridge; gotta go see who made it.

Brewed and bottled by Portland Brewing Co., Portland, Oregon.

Hope they're not evil. It's my last bottle from the 2005 fall season - three six-packs and lasts almost all year.

[fishwax]

50. I like Tommyknockers too, for colorado beer

I know they aren't owned by Coors

[Throd]

11. Carlsberg Elephant Malt Liquor

[Neshanic]

14. Michelobe Dry, but they stopped making it. Heinekin now.

[Haole Girl]

15. My all-time favorite (but only from Germany, minus preservatives)

[Catshrink]

16. I love Black Butte Porter

It's almost replaced Bass Ale as my #1 favorite. I'm partial to Newcastle too.

[Zomby Woof]

20. Newcastle is too thin for me

It has almost no flavor. I jokingly call it the "British Rolling Rock".

I need some body and flavor, dammit!

(Hey, please hand me a slice of Costco peach pie!)

[Catshrink]

21. Just finished a nice slice of peach pie!

[bottomofthehill]

42. I really like Newcastle too

[flvegan]

18. Old Elephant Foot, brewed in-house at Ybor Brewing Co.

However, for everyday consumption, it's either Flying Dog Doggie Style Pale Ale or Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Big fan of Singletrack, too. Also, anything coming out of the Dunedin Brewing Company. Used to love Ybor City Calusa Wheat, but I can't find it anymore.

If I'm entertaining a number of folks, and need it sort of on the cheap, it's Amstel Light and Heineken.

[MoseyWalker]

19. any kind of wheat beer

I can get into that, sometimes.

[doc03]

22. If you ordered any of the beers on this thread at a

bar around here I am afraid you would get your ass kicked.

[doc03]

25. I see this type of thread about beer every few weeks

I rarely consume any alcohol myself. So why is it that if I go to my local Kroger store they don't stock a lot of these beers that are supposed to be so great. Just who is buying all that Bud and Millers that nobody says they would touch? I have found that after a couple most anything is drinkable. I have bought a six pack of Sam Adams a couple times and it was like what we used to call skunk beer and I ended up pouring it down the sink. Maybe the reason was that it had set on the shelf so long it was really skunk beer???? I believe Sam Adams in this area is actually made by the Iron City Brewery and I doubt anyone on here would touch that swill. Myself I think Iron City is better than most of the big brand name stuff, it has some flavor to it.

[Xipe Totec]

28. We had a blindfolded beer tasting contest once

The end result was that nobody could tell the European or Mexican beers apart, but we could tell the difference between these beers and American brands (Budweiser, Schlitz, Old Milwaukee, Miller).

The kicker is that the control was plain water with a few drops of liquid detergent and nobody could tell the difference between this concoction and the American beers.

Go figure.

[doc03]

31. I wouldn't doubt that when compared to Budweiser

I think it in particular is tasteless but hey it's the biggest seller go figure.

[fishwax]

51. that's the american consumer for ya

what is popular and what sells is not always the same as what's best ...

[Shakespeare]

52. Really? Because there's nothing more American than supporting your local

microbrew. Way more American than drinking that watered-down, mass-produced crap Anheiser-Busch tries to pass of as beer.

And the reason you don't see them so much in your local grocery store (althoug that is changing, thank the stars) is that the big distributors that stock the stores don't carry the microbrews--but they're all beginning to. People are discovering how good beer can really be, and good old economics is doing the rest (supply & demand).

[GOPisEvil]

23. Cerveza Cristal from Peru

Perfect for these hot days!

[Fox Mulder]

26. Newcastle Brown Ale

[buddhamama]

27. at the moment

[mopinko]

30. leinie's sunset wheat is really good.

not a big fan usually, but sunset wheat is a great, fruity summer beer.
my fave bottled beers- three floyds alpha king, bell's oberon.
but the best is goose island on tap, at the brewpub.

[fishwax]

53. that's what I'm drinking now, as luck would have it

It's not bad. I wouldn't want to drink it all night, but it's nice for a change of pace.

I really like the Leine's Oktoberfest--can't wait til that one hits the shelves again

[Fox Mulder]

33. I love that stuff.

[buddhamama]

39. cheers

(i am enjoying one now)

[sendero]

35. Probably Bass..

... but it varies from time to time

[CrushTheDLC]

36. Obsidian Stout

From the Deschutes Brewery, makers of the previously mentioned Black Butte Porter, but even darker.....

[CatholicEdHead]

38. New Glarus' Spotted Cow

with Schell's Zommerfest a close second.

[bottomofthehill]

40. Anchor Steam

Its a little expensive but on the occasional 1 beer night it is a really great beer.

[barb162]

41. diet coke?

beer tastes lousy!

[Dervill Crow]

43. I bought some Guinness Extra Stout to make fondue,

and boy, was that good stuff!

I'm not a big beer drinker, but I love Pumpkin Ale, and now I love Guinness, too.

[Godhumor]

44. Magic Hat #9 and Golden Monkey

Hippies who make beer make the best beer.

[Aristus]

46. Alaskan Amber Ale.

One of the smoothest, most flavorful brews I've ever tasted.

[tyedyeto]

48. Tucson's favorite Micro (and mine too)

[gristy]
