Beer Drinkers Challenge

[Father Demon]

Wednesday Night Poker.  This has been a good week for me, beer-wise.

33. Michelob Ultra
34. Miller Chill - Not avaailable in St. Louis.  It's a lime and salt type beer, and it wasn't very good.  I could taste neither the lime nor the salt.
35. Milwaukee Ale House Fat Squirrel - Only avail in Milwaukee, and it was pretty good.  Bitter, but good.
36. Milwaukee Ale House Pale Ale - Only avail in Milwaukee, and it was in a growler. It went through a 12 hour drive, left in the car, then delivered to us.  It was flat, and a bit road-weary. I have no idea if it's a good beer or not.  But I drank it.
37. Boulevard Zon - Belgium White style.  I like those a lot, and this didn't disappoint.
38. Schlafly's Import IPA - 8% alcohol content.
39. Homebrew - Dougs - Copper #2 - Pretty coppery, but otherwise not bad.

Had this over the weekend, tasted like sprite mixed with coors light.  Really i would only drink it in place of water on a drinking binge, but never more than one.

Had some Bud Select in aluminum bottles served at exactly 23 degrees COLD! Man beer like that is really really really good cold. Really!

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I had some Bud Select in the ghay slimline cans last night.  That was good too.

Fire Rock may be the single finest beer I've tasted.

Agreed, we had a sixtel of Kona Fire Rock in Sea Isle on vacation with family last week, and had never had it before...great stuff, and now available in some places in NJ.

Also drank in the past three weeks, mostly while on vacation:

Victory Prima Pils: Was the Sea Isle house beer in the kegerator for most of the week; good casual drinking beer, tastes a lot like Pilsner Urquel, can drink quite a few over the course of a night.
Flying Fish Farmhouse Summer Ale: Replacement in the kegerator when the Prima Pils was gone...similarly easy to drink Summer ale.
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale: Great beer, a regular staple in my family.
Smithwick's: Good drink after golf.
Guinness: Never disappoints.
Sierra Nevada Summerfest: Excellent Summer beer.
Sam Adams Summer Ale: Pretty good wheat beer, tasty...but, I get tired of the flavor after a couple.
Yuengling Lager: Agreed with most other opinions posted...used to be a staple, now just burns like a bit of regurgitated bile in the back of the throat half-way through the first one. It gets worse after the 3rd or 4th.
Hoegaarden's: One of the best Belgians I've had, though not as good as Delirium Tremens.
Heineken: Not one of my favorites, but was what my cousins brought to the beach.

27. Bard's Tale. I'm ashamed of myself for even accepting the offer to drink this shtein. Awful
28. Stella Artois. People love this. I think it is less offensive than most 'green bottle beer' but still rather gross.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Stella is awfully overrated.  Grolsch is delicious.

[phattymatty]

i was drinking 24 oz. keg cans of heineken last night.

[rjs246]

I'm surprised at how many different beers wriggle their way into my normal drinking routine.

[phattymatty]

you're so awesome.

[rjs246]

I know dude.

Dog Fish Head IPA 90 - 9% alcohol. alittle more hoppy than i usually like, but i drank 4 down and was pretty damn buzzed. Not bad.

I'm not living up to my screen name & am going to have to step it up if I'm going to keep up with FD. 

I took my daughter to a German-American Festival up in Bucks County on Sunday, which didn't have the type of selection that you'd assume would be present. The only imports on hand were Warsteiner & one other brand I never heard of. The regular Warsteiner was nice, but not very remarkable. I'll definitely buy some Warsteiner Dark in the fall as it had a good flavor but didn't make my taste buds feel like I've been licking a cat's ass. Speaking of licking a cat's ass, I tried a bottle of an Octoberfest that I made myself in February. I'll bring the rest to the next tailgate.

I also took her for sushi yesterday & had the obligatory Kirin & Sapparo that you have at a Japanese restaurant. Neither are anything special & no better than if I had a glass of domestic.
