Title: Another Beer Thread
Post by: hbionic on February 23, 2006, 01:20:33 PM
I may be late....and I just might not stray from my normal selection enough when I go out...but I had Sam Adams Hefeinweizen the other day.......it may just be my favorite beer now. I don't know how long its been out....even the Sam Adams produces many flavors of beers...but it was my first time and god damn that was delicious. I recomend it to all of you...even if you're a recovering alcoholic...this beer is worth it for you to go back. If you're at work, take a 45 minute break and find one. Get one for your boss too so he(because females can't be boss) can give you a raise for bringing him such a good beer.

Hefeinweizen is pretty good, I recommend floating lemons in it if you haven't already. (Makes it 1000X better)

Lately I've been drinking a lot of Belgiun imports, mostly Hoeegarden and Chimay.

This past weekend I went to Santa Barbara and ordered a beer at the hotel bar...the barkeep recommended 'Fullers' from England. Great tasting beer. It's an ale.  Kind of cool because they only make a limited number of beers for the year. I think mine was 55,333 out of 95,000. It felt kinda special, but not in the short yellow bus kind of way.

Pacifico over Corona. Always. You never see women drinking Pacifico...and if you do...marry her. Coronas are cool....but I also feel they are chickish.

Corona sucks ass, but if someone handed it to you for free with a lime in it would you:

A) Remove the lime and drink it
B) Drink it with the lime

My only problem with the CS is there is a lot of variance in the flavor.  Some lots are awesome, and some are a little too bitter, without the real oomph it's supposed to have.

My favorite Sam Adams to date is The Winter Lager.  I like red lagers and cream ales most. Does anyone remember Molson Redjack?  I used to love that stuff when I was in high school.  They discountinued it though,  :'(  - i just did a quick google o of redjack and not one pic showed up.

I actually enjoy a Corona everynow and then, mostly in summer.  Its refreshing and easy to drink.  I think a lime is a must, otherwise it not too good.

After having been stationed in Japan and most of Asia for three + years I've also kind of got a fondness for some of their beers. Kirin Ichibahn is pretty good, so is Sapporo. Thai bears like Beer Chang and Singha are the goods too. Not the kind of stuff I would say run out and get, but if you are in some joint and see them, grab one. Especially the Sapporo.

Not true. After mowing the lawn on a hot summer day, or a bitch of a work week, there is nothing else I want to drink more than an ice cold beer while sitting on the couch. This also includes watching a game, eating a pizza/sushi/or a steak, playing poker, and watching some YO! MTV Raps.

*Edit, I will say during the teenage years and up until about twenty-two, I wasn't a big beer kind of guy. Liquor mostly, and just normally getting shteinfaced. I grew out of that, and in years since have become a huge beer fan. I will normally choose a beer over soda, or anything else when at a dinner, or hanging out.

no shtein. what gives beer it's flavor, gives it it's alcohol content.

and truust me, i do enjoy the taste of beer. not bud, or OE88...but good beer. and not all big beer is bad, and not all microbeers are good either. i genuinely enjoy the taste of good beer. and it's a hobby of mine, i brew my own as well (although not nearly as often as i would like).

people's taste in beers varies greatly, so i can not say one style is better than the other...

I might drink a soda with some foods, but beer goes well with pizza.  And I don't think I want sushi without a beer.
Cheap beer tastes like crap, but a nice stout or porter tastes pretty good.  Not just for the alcohol.
If I strictly want to get drunk, I'll just drink bourbon.

For the past five years, I have been drinking mostly Sierra Nevada, Sam Adams, and various Belgian products. Agreed on Hoegaarden, it's a current favorite, and Chimay, Ommegang, and Delirium Tremens are also excellent Belgians. Victory's beers (especially Hop Devil) are also very good, as are the Old Domion products in Virginia. And, Guiness (and most stouts) is of course a staple.

Yuengling is a fallback if I'm just looking for a decent beer, but nothing really flavorful. All of the Bud, Miller, and Coors flagship products suck ass...I'll relucantly drink these at a party, if that's all they have, unless there's Captain Morgan.

Haven't had the Sam Adams Cream Stoudt yet, but will check it out based on the positive feedback on this thread.

I've been drinking Stella Artois lately because the Irish Pub in town has had it on special.

It's actually not bad at all.  It takes a while to get used to the taste but overall it's not a bad tasting brew.

I also love Kirin with Japanese food.  I don't know why but that shtein goes down like water when your eating sushi or a nice teriyaki steak & shrimp dinner.

As for the American slop they sell, I used to love Yuengling Black & Tan but that gives me a vile headache if I've had more than four or five of them.  Same goes for the Lager also.  I don't know when that started but I just can't drink it anymore.  If I have to drink something American, I'll stick with Budweiser.  Coors & Miller products give me the wicked shteins so they're out totally.

I love that there's a beer named that.

What's more, the taste is far better than you'd expect from the gimmick name.  It's an excellent beer.  Too damn expensive of course, but worth treating yourself once in a while.

I drink Guinness, Bass, or Brooklyn Lager.  Once in a while some Red Stripe or Harp.

I think beer tastes wonderful.  It's on a par with bacon.  I can't imagine living without either of them.

Bass, Guiness, Harp, Sam are all in the winter rotation.  Except when I'm trying to get lean.

In the summer, I'll still hit those...but I'll work in some cheaper, lighter beer.  Man, nothing is better than an ice cold Rolling Rock after painting the house, or cutting the lawn.  The Yuengling family of beer is also a pretty good choice for the price.  A Corona at a BBQ can do the trick on occasion.  And Bohemia and Negro Modelo is quite awesome just about anytime.

Agreed. I avoid beer in cans as best as I can. But the High Life tallboys are OK in them.

Anyone have suggestions for light beers?  The best I've had is Sam Adams Light.  I wouldn't mind some variety though.
Hefeweizen is good but always gives me gas.  It must be a wheat beer.

The last time I said that I was 19. I just trained my body not to yark no matter how much I drink. Now I only do it every couple of years, or on the off chance that I feel the need to pull the trigger.

I think beer tastes wonderful.  It's on a par with bacon.  I can't imagine living without either of them.

I agree.  Throw in cheese as #3 and I'm set for life.

I'm not a huge light beer fan.  The difference between regular beer and light beer isn't that great, really.  At least not enough to enjoy the beer less.  In general, I don't think Amstel is bad in a pinch.  Sam light isn't bad.

Actually, here's a pretty good article on it:  http://beeradvocate.com/news/stories_read/248/

Good article.  I have only recently been looking at light beers and get Sam Adams Light.  Miller lite and Bud Lite are only good when you're half in the bag anyway.  I will give Amstel Light a try.  Good reason to back to regular beer.

There are really two categories of beer. Micro and Macro. Macro is made on a large scale, doesn't have as much flavor, but is easy to find and cheaper.

When I'm drinking a Macro I usually go for Bud Select. Really goes down smooth and doesn't tear my stomach apart. After that I like Michelob products. Mich light is pretty good. Amber Bock is another macro that I really like. Reminds me of a great dark beer I had in Germany once. I don't really like Miller products. Coors is OK and I will drink them. If I have to go really cheap I'm all about sum Nat Light. They have some Natty Up with Caffeine in it. Ebil!!

Micro beers are all usually pretty good. Just matters what flavors you like. I like a good Irish stoute but it is hard to find a good micro stoute. They are usually a little to harsh for my taste. Here in St. Louis the local Micros that are very good are Schlafly, O'Fallon,  and Fat Tire. Mmmm Good.

Of course I am a company man so take it all with a grain of salt.

I had "Wing Walker" Amber Ale this past weekend. Anyone else familiar with it? Where the hell have I been?

FREAKING DELICIOUS. It was cheap too. It was $6.99 for the 6-pack. It is brewed in New York if I remember.

Also still a favorite:

Kona Brewing Company's 'Pipeline Porter'. It smells great too...has a slight hint of coffee. Don Ho should know about this one.

Good bump Chuggie, made me go in the kitchen and grab an ice cold Pilsner Urquell. Excellent summer beer.

Related note, life lessons learned under category DUH- if seeing a lady whose ex is a Miller exec and she promises you the few cases/kegs of product still lying around the house/garage (including Pilsner Urquell), don't break up with her until said product safely delivered. Otherwise you'll be back to having to buy your own.

there are plenty of summer brews that blow it away, but in no way shape is corona at the bottom of the barrel.
