Beer Drinkers Challenge

[Wingspan]

I remember drinking Orion in Okinawa, which still ranks as one of my favorite all time beers.  I wish I could have anouther.

There's a Sushi place near me that has that.

Suck's that you don't live near King of Prussia.

Sapporo, I agree, is terrible.

[Phanatic]

I still have a rather large cloth Orion banner I got from Okinawa. Sometimes memories make the beer a little better in your mind. For me Murphy's Stoute has simular sentimate.

Drinking a Killians Red right now. I'd like to try some other brands of Irish red beer.

Last night my old lady and one of her girlfriends and I drank:

Piraat Ale (Belgium)
Chimay Ale Grand Reserve (Belgium)
Green Flash Brewing Co. Imperial IPA (San Diego California)
Burton Ale India Empire Ale (England)
Kells Irish Style Lager (Oregon)

I liked the Piraat best.


I've got a bottle of Aventinus, a wheat doppelbock whatever that is (Germany) and Georg Scheider's Wiesen Edel-Weisse (also Germany).  Those will be quaffed later today.

I've had none of those, but now I want to.

Beer is good food.

Sapporo.  It sucks.

I agree.  It's garbage.  We drink Kirin Ichiban when we eat at a Japanese steakhouse.

If your ever in Philly, stop by Ludwig's Garten on Sansom St. for an excellent selection of German/Austrian beers & the occasionally hot European bartender.  It's about 2 blocks from where I work, so I stopped by there & the Independence Brew Pub after work on Friday.

One of the best overall beers I've had, was the Kostriker dark, which was flavorful & clean gave me a nice buzz. I finished off my stay there with a Samichlaus, a drink which traditionally gets me thrown out of bars. In addition to it being 14% alcohol, I swear it has something else in it that makes me go into women's bathrooms.

30. Genny Light
31. JW Dundee's Pale Ale
32. JW Dundee's Honey Brown
33. JW Dundee's Amber Lager

All of the Dundee's varieties are tasty, but muted. There wasn't much difference between any of them but they drink easy and don't leave much aftertaste. Genny Light requires no comment.

Do all the rock bottom's brew the same beers simultaniously?

[mussa]

Lancaster Brewing Co

1. Litening Lager - smooth, easy to drink lager
2. Amish 4 Grain Ale - dark, sweet and good...kinda like IGY

[phattymatty]

I actually went to Rock Bottom and had several beers for lunch.  Ballston Browns.

[phattymatty]

Do all the rock bottom's brew the same beers simultaniously?

No I don't think so.  There's one down the street from my office and we have totally different names.  Although it may be the same beers with just different names because of the location.

I think they all have the same styles of beer, but each has it's own names.  Since a brewer is on premise, I also think that the chain has their recipes that are sent to each.
