Apros Pos of Nothing ........ what's your favorite beer?

[Stinky The Clown]

Mine is (California brewed) Od Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout. You need to chew this stuff. I do maybe 4 or 6 bottles a month. I drink it only with meals. Apart from that, I'm not much of a beer drinker.

[begin_within]

1. Hansen's Diet Root Beer!

Seriously it is the BOMB.

[MurrayDelph]

46. You have got to try

Lost Trail Diet Root Beer. My favorite.

[begin_within]

48. I will... where is it sold?

[Snarkoleptic]

2. Goose Island Christmas Ale...it's the shit!

[blogslut]

41. Negra Modelo

Room temperature:

[villager]

3. being a stout and porter fan, I'm gonna hafta try that...

[Tangerine LaBamba]

4. What a great label!

I like a lighter brew, and I grew up on this stuff, the brewery being five miles from my hometown:



but my heart truly belongs to:

[havocmom]

10. Czech brew?

OMG, have I got a story for you.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

12. A-ha!

Let it rip, in whatever venue you choose, my dear.

It's such a damn good beer, and, with half lemonade, it's a fabulous Shandy....................

[havocmom]

33. You have mail

and an ale of a tale.

[Cid_B]

56. Budwar is in my top 5...

My years in Germany have made me into a beer snob...

68. I'll second your feelings on Yuengling. Love their Black and Tan.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

69. That's a good one, too -

we used to mock all things Yuengling because it was local and cheap and, well, because kids mock all things local as they're growing up.

We drank Rolling Rock whenever we could get someone to buy for us, and, as I recall - it's been a while - that was a pretty good brew, too.

But Yuengling has become a national sensation, and the first time I saw Black and Tan in a gourmet food store in San Francisco, I nearly died laughing.

The water in that part of the country is extraordinary. It's sweet. People used to come up from Philadelphia - about 2 hours south of us - with gallon containers, to get the water from roadside streams, such was its reputation.

And it makes what I think is the best beer in this country.

Try them all. The lager is my favorite, but they're all really good!!!

6. Framboise Jacobins

The Belgians know how to do beer.

[Stinky The Clown]

29. There's a Belgian brewed Imperial Stout that I tried and loved, but can't recall its name

You're right. They brew great beers.

[havocmom]

7. Ginger.

Beer... :puke:

Although, I did see a brand called "Old Peculiar" that almost tempted me.

[Mist]

8. Pilner Urquell. Necter! I drink very little beer anymore, so I really want to enjoy it when I do! nt

[tkmorris]

60. I just finished off a twelve-pack of Pilsner Urquell

I love the stuff but... is it just me or has it changed over the last 20 years? It used to have a sweet hops feel and a looonnnggg dry finish. The dryness seems to have gone away. It's still quite delicious don't get me wrong it's just not what I remember from back in the day.

[Mist]

64. I think you're right--it seems it was a bit drier years ago. I started drinking it in '93. nt

[bemildred]

9. Steel Reserve. Heineken when I feel flush. nt

[Arctic Dave]

11. Cold and Free. The best beer ever. ;)

[Vickers]

13. Bischoff Premium Pils

From my former city of Winnweiler, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

We could buy it the day it was bottled...unbelievably yummy.

When I'm in the states I usually drink bourbon.

:P

[Catshrink]

14. Black Butte Porter

[madrchsod]

19. point

[cherokeeprogressive]

20. I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I drink Dos Equis. n/t

[Stinky The Clown]

31. Are you The Most Interesting Cherokee Progressive In The World?

(No offense meant. It is a reference to the current Dos Equis teevee ad running here.)

[cherokeeprogressive]

36. Stinky, in my own mind, I am the most interesting asshole you'll ever meet.

And yes, my reply was inspired by what is my favorite TV commercial. I actually favor a White Zin over beer, but can be found swilling margaritas more often than anything.

I can speak Russian, in French.

LOL

[devilgrrl]

21. Sierra Nevada

[1]

22. whatever obama chooses to serve. i await, in hope, my invitation to a beer summit...

[lexanman]

23. Iron City

[Gregorian]

24. Moretti is the best beer I've ever had.

Second to that was my own brewed Pilsner. But I've long since stopped drinking any alcohol. Which sucks, because I loved it. Long story.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birra_Moretti



Argh! Heineken bought them! I had it before that transpired.

[lumberjack_jeff]

25. Pyramid Hefeweisen.

But I usually drink Miller.

[closeupready]

26. Schultheiss, but you can't get it in the US, sadly.

Or not last I checked.

And American beer all tastes the same to me, basically. Ah, okay, maybe Anchor Steam.

[baldguy]

27. Depends on the season, what's being served, the venue & my mood.

Lately I've been exploring the various domestic weissbiers available.

[deoxyribonuclease]

28. Shiner Kolsch

I don't think they're brewed anymore though :(

[tuckessee]

30. Michelob Original Lager in bottles.

I drink one a day.

[blue sky at night]

32. yuengling lager.........

the dark lager from pennsylvania rules.......



http://www.yuengling.com/

[BlooInBloo]

44. Awww - I miss yuengling!

[tularetom]

34. Chimay Belgian Trappist Ale

Supposedly brewed by monks in Belgium, the "trippel" style is about 9% alcohol.

It comes in 750 ml bottles and runs about 8 bucks a bottle so I don't drink it very often. But it will definitely kick your ass.



For everyday beer drinking - anything from Boston Beer Co. (Sam Adams). I'm a shareholder and they are big supporters of the Democratic agenda.

[comrade snarky]

35. Depends on where I am

At home it's Anchor Steam's Bock, only available a couple of months out of the year but so damn good.


Across the pond it would have to be the Zywiec Porter, a super delicious dark malty beer from Poland. They make a fine lager too but the porter is special.

[Canuckistanian]

37. That's like asking who your favorite child is

Since 1994 La Fin du monde

38. Guinness, but I don't drink it anymore. Too fattening. n/t

[sofa king]

39. I believe I am the reigning authority on this matter.

My qualifications are this: For twenty years, I drank between six and twelve beers, every day. Once I drank them all, I quit, so I can soberly assess the quality of the hundreds of different beers I drank.

The best beers I ever had were, in this order:

Wild Goose Spring Wheat Ale. The first couple of years of it, when they had crummy labels that peeled off as soon as the beer came out of the fridge. The best beer I ever had, hands down.

Red Feather Pale Ale. From a short-lived microbrewery in Pennsylvania. Magical, with qualities that reminded me both of porters and ales, but better than both. And like magic, it disappeared.

Sam Middleton's Pale Ale. Also from the Wild Goose Brewery, easier to find than the Spring Wheat, might have been made with a fruity Belgian malt. By the mid-1990s, though, it was a pale shadow of its former self.

Long Trail Ale. Oh, my! Finding a bar next to Killington that served five dollar pitchers of this stuff was like finding the Lost Ark. Beautiful to behold with its copper-red color, hoppier than Sierra Nevada, and a fresh taste no matter where you find it. I think this stuff is still around, which might make it the best beer still around.

I continued to drink beer after the micro-brewery craze of the early 1990s, but frankly, they all suck now. Except for that Long Trail stuff, maybe.

There. Now you kids can stop arguing.

[southerncrone]

40. Yuengling Lager......draft is the best, but it's all good!

:toast:

[Hepburn]

42. Root Beer. n/t

[HughMoran]

43. It used to be Kirin

...before they sold out and ruined the beer. God I hate it when a big company buys a good beer and ruins it.

[Bozita]

45. E&B - 16oz beers are 33% more filling than 12 - A beer blast from the past.

It was bad, but there was more of it for your money.

A few years later, Old Milwaukee started selling their brew in 16oz disposable glass bottles.

Eight beers for the price of six.

[nonpareil]

47. Belgian Beer!

Widmer Hefeweizen (with a lemon slice), Hoegaarden (Belgian witbier), and Lindemans Lambic Framboise (Belgian raspberry-flavored beer)

[Kat45]

49. Molson Canadian and Blue Moon

Also Sam Summer.

[Lugnut]

50. Rolling Rock

On a hot day I like to have an ice cold pony bottle or two. Mmmm.
:9

[Quantess]

51. Me too.

It's refreshing.
Edit to add: :toast:

[Lugnut]

70. Cheers!

:toast:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

52. McSorley's Ale

[flvegan]

53. In the bottle? Flying Dog Doggie Style Pale Ale.

On tap? Whatever Tampa Bay Brewing Company is pouring tonight.

I do miss Ybor Calusa Wheat Ale, another local.

[Blue_In_AK]

54. I probably haven't drunk the equivalent of an entire bottle of beer

in my whole life. I can't stand the taste or the smell. But my husband likes this Alaskan Amber

[tkmorris]

57. Three Floyds Dreadnaught Double IPA

Of course I couldn't drink it every day, hell I can't even GET it unless my wife has to fly to Chicago for business and even then it costs a bloody fortune.

61. Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome followed by their India Pale Ale.

I'm a bourbon guy but I like a good beer kinda the way I enjoy a Coke or a root beer.

[RebelOne]

62. Guinness Stout.

Went to Ireland just to sit in a pub and drink Guinness on tap.

[On the Road]

63. Not for Every Day,
