Beer Drinkers Challenge

[Seabiscuit36]

I'm polishing off a big bottle of St. Bernardus Tripel

I think Belgian Ales are my favorite beers.

thats an awsome Belgian Dio, plus its either 9 or 10 percent so its gonna taste good after a glass.  Another good Belgian i had was Le Phantome.

I don't know how long I can keep this up,  I look like I aged 10 years since June. 

I was at the Taco Mac near the Perimeter Mall in Atlanta last week to watch the Phillies. Except for the douche nozzle bartender who was a taterskins fan, I love that place. Over 100 beers on tap & 300 bottled, above average wings + hot women. I'd make it my home if I lived there.

I really enjoyed the Sweetwater 420 & had 3 of them that night. The best I had was the Ayinger Celebrator Dopple Bock, which made my legs start to feel numb.

49. Victory Prima Pils
50. Sweetwater IPA
51. Sweetwater 420
52. Pabst Blue Ribbon
53. Great Divide Titan IPA
54. Ayinger Celebrator Dopple Bock 
54. Sam Adams Lager
55. Bass
56. Fosters Lager

Was in Dallas this week leanring my "new optional unless you want to resign" job, and had a few.  Not many, but a few.

84. Tecatz - complete crap.  And I bought a 2x4 of it, too.
85. Foster's Special Bitter - OK, but worse than regular Foster's
86. Pete's Wicked Ale - I didn't even know they still made this.  And I still don't like it.
87. Hoffbrau Steaks Brewery #2 Pale Ale - now we're talking. Small brewers are better.
88. Main Street Brewing Golden - B
89. Routh Street Brewery and Grille Red - B+
90. Schooner Brewery Pale Ale - B

I also had a bunch of new stuff this past weekend, but have no idea what they were.  I need to get a list from my buddy that was feeding them to me.

[Father Demon]

Got my list today.  All off the wall stuff, with the exception of the Murphy's

91. Sleemans Honey Brown. I don't remember how this tasted.
92. Barley Island's Dirty Helen - I think I liked this one.  I could have just been the name though...
93. Hoegaarden Grand Cru - this was good. 
94. Upland Dragonfly IPA - This was my favorite.  Of course it was.  It's an IPA.
95. Murphey's Red - average.

I also had a sip of a Kona's Passion Fruit wheat, but it was only a sip sop I'm not counting it.  Totally a chick drink, no doubt.


Beermonkey -- suck it up and be a man.  Or at least change your name to Gingeralemonkey.

[Phanatic]

Sam Adams Honey Porter. Yummmmm

[Beermonkey]

Beermonkey -- suck it up and be a man.  Or at least change your name to Gingeralemonkey.

We'll see who's mocking who when I see your jaundiced ass at a game this season. 

Based on your recommendation, I went looking for Kona at my distributor, who said we can't get it in this area. There must be a couple other CF people who use Hatboro Beverage, since he said I was about the 5th person to ask for it this week.

[ThirdStreetMafia]

LionRed... its brewed in New Zealand. Tastes a lot like Molson honestly.

[Father Demon]

Didn't drink it, but DAYUM!

[rjs246]

1. Miller Lite: tastes great, not filling, got me drunk.
2. Pabst Blue Ribbon: the local pub just switched from Miller Lite to PBR so I'll be drinking much more of this going forward. Consistent. Inoffensive. Produces no hangover. HUMONGOUS mud butt the following day.
3. Sierra Nevada India Pale Ale: It's farging India Nevada India Pale Ale. You've had it. It's tasty. Nothing to write home about.
4. Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat: Crap. A light wheat beer that could have been acceptable except for the second rate blueberry taste and Lysol aftertaste.
5. Victory Prima Pils: Completely drinkable but really just tastes like Miller Lite. Mild, delicious but more expensive than Miller Lite so no reason to ever buy it.
6. Victory Golden Monkey: 9.5% alcohol. And you can taste it. It almost tastes like a good Belgian beer, but the extra alcohol adds a little bit of a barley wine taste to it. Wouldn't drink more than one or two at a clip for taste. For drunk would drink several.
7. Duvel: If you like Belgian beer, this is one of several that should be part of your standard fare. Light, delicious and easily drinkable but with plenty of flavor.
8. Harpoon IPA: Honestly, most IPAs taste the same to me. They aren't my favorite and I don't like drinking a lot of them at once, but a couple at a time is just about right.
9. Redhook ESB: I don't even know what ESB stands for, but it's $2 a bottle at my bar. So it gets the tonsil treatment.
10. Sam Adams Summer Ale: So Sam Adams beers have a lot of flavor, which makes them enjoyable to drink with a meal and less enjoyable to drink en mass. Anyway, most of the Sam Seasonal flavors are shtein, but Sam Summer is pretty drinkable.
11. Red Stripe. The further removed from my college days I get, the less I like Lagers. (Miller Lite and the other light nonsense shtein that I jokingly tout as fantastic don't count. They're basically alcoholic water.)
12. Dos Equis Special Lager. Meh.
13. Heineken. Crap crap crap skunked crap
14. Sam Adams Boston Lager. Lots of flavor. I would never marathon drink with the stuff but one or two at a time is about right.
15. Bud Light. Awful.
16. Miller High Life. Slightly better.
17. Amstel Light. Delicious.
18. I forgot that I drank something called Moonshot 69 last night. It's caffeinated and TERRIBLE.
19. Redhook Blonde. Meh. Redhook is pretty meh all around.
20. Radeberger. My friend has been pimping this shtein to me for weeks so I tried it. I was completely in the bag when I got it, but it tasted like open ass.
21. Guinness. It took me almost a month to have one of these. I'm ashamed of myself.
22. Yeungling. I never thought it would happen, but I don't really like Yeungling anymore. It's starting to taste a little skunky to me and it always gives me awful hangovers and poopbabies. Having said that I drank about 12 of them last night.
23. Anchor Steam. Mmmmm, Anchor Steam.
24. Magic Hat Mystery Beer. Had some bite. Pretty good actually.
25. Magic Hat Circus Boy Heffeviesteneinfrefneru v. Delicious.
26. Smithwick's. An old favorite.
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.
29. Miller High Life Lite. Hahahahaahahahaha. It literally tastes like nothing. Slightly carbonated water. Far less offensive than I expected and basically a replica of Miller Lite. Will buy it if I see it and it costs less than Lite.
30. Genny Light
31. JW Dundee's Pale Ale
32. JW Dundee's Honey Brown
33. JW Dundee's Amber Lager
34. Budweiser (heavy). Some flavor, not good. Lots of explosive gas the following day, very good.
35. Blue Moon. Tasty. Kind of a lame copy of real Belgian beer.
36. Sixpoint Summer Ale. The keg was warm as shtein but it would have tasted funky even ice cold. Blecht.
37. Lone Star. Cheap and delicious.
38. Michelob Lager. Gross.

[shorebird]

Sam Adams Boston Lager. Lots of flavor. I would never marathon drink with the stuff but one or two at a time is about right.

I agree, it's a great tasting beer, but if you drink six or more, your gonna' be drunk off your ass.

Heineken. Crap crap crap skunked crap

And people think this is some kinda' high class beer. It's shtein imo.

[Father Demon]

I agree.  Heinies suck ass.

While on my vacation in upstate NY, I tried several new beers:

96. Saranac Adirondack Lager
97. Saranac Pale Ale
98. Saranac Black Forest
99. Saranac Black & Tan
100. Saranac Lager
101. Saranac India Pale Ale
102. Saranac Hefeweizen
103. Saranac Oatmeal Stout
104. Saranac Single Malt
105. Saranac Mountain Ale
106. Magic Hat Single Chair Ale
107. Magic Hat Blind Faith (IPA - again, not disappointed)
108. Magic Hat Fat Angel (Pale Ale)
109. Magic Hat Circus Boy (Hefeweizen)

The Saranac's are a local Adirondack beer brewed near Saratoga, and the Magic hat is brewed in Vermont.  They were both available in sampler packs, which is always a plus.  I have a few more Saranac's to try this week that I brought home with me.

All in all, I wasn't a big fan of the Saranac's, with the exception being the IPA, the Adirondack Lagar, and the Single Malt.  I did, however, enjoy the Magic hat beers.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

These Sam Adams variety packs suck ass.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Beck's with Helium.

[Father Demon]

Another week in Denver, and more beers consumed.

110. Rock Bottom Golden Ale
111. Rock Bottom Oatmeal Stout
112. Rock Bottom Irish Stout
113. New Belgium Mothership Wit - This was OK, but I expected better coming from NB Brewery
114. CB & Potts Buttface Ale
115. CB & Potts Hefeweizen
116. CB & Potts Red IPA
117. Breckenridge 471 IPA - A++.  This may be the best beer I have had to date.  I need to find more of it.
118. Rock Bottom Cascade Hops IPA

And as usual, Rock Bottom beers were passable, but nothing to write home about.  I'd drink far less of them if they weren't right across the street from the hotel I stay in.
