Favorite Beer.

[Hisoka]

Topic change.

Just go with the flow. What's your favorite beer? Could be anything from commercial to near unobtainable.

[{NG}Fidel]

I do not enjoy any beer.
Doesnt mean I wont drink it though.
Liquer ftw.

[master terrence]

Guinness is my favorite. I usually end up drinking Miller or Coores lite though.

Kronenbourg is a reasonable lager to drink at the average pub. Abbot Ale is a much more pleasant drink though, and you only find it at a better class of establishment.

99 percent of beer is garbage, the only good beer I have had was while I was in Germany.

Though I'm much more of a hard liquor drinker than beer.

[Bernard_Monsha]

German beer is fair, Belgians have a genetic predisposition towards great beer makeing.

[Jeht Black1]

99 percent of beer is garbage, the only good beer I have had was while I was in Germany.

i agree with you on that. the only reason i will drink beer is if there is no hard liquer. which is rare when it comes to me and my ninjas. we all dont like beer.

[Animematt55]

Hoorray Beer!

[animeotaku99]

I dont raelly like beer but I would have to say Darker beers, rather then light beers look a lot better, and probably taste a lot bettertoo, People in this area just like Lite beers because they are easier to drik and you can drink more of them faster

[Hisoka]

Damn, I knew I was missing something when I pressed reply. I kinda meant easy access commercial brands, but we'll just roll with this since it doesn't limit the convo. Starting over. Which beer do you feel suck the least? I agree that 99% of beer is bad in general and that's why I barely even touch it. I've had Negra Modelo before and didn't think it was anything special. AleSmith Speedway Stout is better than Samual Adams Chocolate Bock too. :P So to each their own I suppose. I do like the three I listed earlier though. For mass produced beer that's all over the place it's doable.

[Bernard_Monsha]

Alesmith makes some good beer (I like Old Numbskull myself), I have yet to have a truely bad Imperial Stout. The best ber ever is Westvleteren 12, good luck getting some though.

Before I forget my Beer as personnal motto is Arrogant Bastard.

Stella Artois. Thread over. :D

[JoeStrummer]

WEAK. Canadian beer is where it's at, I think Corona tastes like water, as well as any other imported or American beer. I like Canadian (the beer)

[Jeht Black1]

i plan to bet the heineken draughtkeg just for the minikeg

Stella Artois. Thread over. :D

Hear, hear!

(Kronenbourg 1664 is quite nice too)

[Hisoka]

My friend brings that one up whenever we go out. That and he swears by Kaggen Stormaktsporter or whatever it's called. I've heard good things about one called Surly Darkness too. I'd like to try them one of these days.

Stella Artois. Thread over. :D

Stella Artois is decent. OH! The thread continues. ;)

[Soluzar]

I find Stella Artois so unpleasant that if it were the only beer on the market, I'd quit drinking. It tastes of solvents and other noxious chemicals to me. I really feel like I don't want to finish the glass if someone offers me a Stella Artois. I know it hits the right buttons for a huge number of drinkers, but I would never be one of them.

[ryushe]

Guinness stout ftw. Funny how I hated it when I was younger, but love it now. I guess it's an acquired taste and Corona is a distant second, but I seem to only enjoy it more with friends, don't know why.

Decent was my nice way of saying the above. I've never gotten through a bottle of Stella. I've given it 2-3 tries because some people seem to love it. I thought maybe I was missing something, but nah, I just can't drink that stuff either.

[Bernard_Monsha]

Stella Artois.

Decent beer, no Delirium Tremens.but decent.

WEAK. Canadian beer tastes like water

Fixed

Canadian beer is the worst right next to Fijian beer.

Guinness should be on everyone's list, even if only as an occasional indulgence. I wouldn't drink Guinness all the time, but it's great when I'm in the mood.

[Hisoka]

and Corona is a distant second, but I seem to only enjoy it more with friends, don't know why.

That's how it is for me too. I could never just pop open a bottle and drink a beer. But when I'm around other people I'm able to drink stuff like Corona and Heineken.

Guinness should be on everyone's list, even if only as an occasional indulgence. I wouldn't drink Guinness all the time, but it's great when I'm in the mood.

Guinness is really great stuff. When I went to Ireland a few years ago I had it right from the tap and that just blew most things away. My dad is from Ireland and was a bartender when he first came to America years ago. Go figure. :lol:

[Bernard_Monsha]

Guinness taste like carbonated sewage, it is also one of those rare things were it looks exactly like it taste.

[JoeStrummer]

Heh, I find it the exact opposite, import beer is the lame

[Soluzar]

Guinness taste like carbonated sewage, it is also one of those rare things were it looks exactly like it taste.
I have a suspicion that closer to the natural source it tastes rather different. I'm only a hop, a step and a jump from Eire here, you know.

[ryushe]

It's not even an occasional thing with me anymore. I guess it's just in my blood since I'm Jamaican and all :lol:

That's how it is for me too. I could never just pop open a bottle and drink a beer. But when I'm around other people I'm able to drink stuff like Corona and Heineken.
I guess it's just like that. I mean, I was at work with some Co-workers/Friends drinking Corona and by the end of the night I downed 3 with no problem. The next night I had one more in my fridge and just couldn't finish it.

[Vaikyuko]

I'd add something to this thread, except I realized that I hate alcohol when applied to drinks.

I can still say my favorite beer is Heineken anyway, right? :P

[Hisoka]

I have a suspicion that closer to the natural source it tastes rather different. I'm only a hop, a step and a jump from Eire here, you know.

There is no doubt about it. There is art to the pour of a pint of Guinness in Ireland from what I observed. They lean the glass at an angle and fill it up from the tap about 3/4 the way. Let it sit there until it settles then filled to the top and ready to go.

You might as well. If anything Heineken is a really good beer to cook with believe it or not.

Meh, its quite tasty for its cheap price, like 4 bucks for 6 bottles. However, I would give anything for a Fosters. :D

Taste doesn't matter once you've gotten drunk enough so why waste the good stuff?

[Sendo Takeshi]

Guiness or Heineken. Either or. Your liver is the true winner in this battle.

[Bernard_Monsha]

I have a suspicion that closer to the natural source it tastes rather different. I'm only a hop, a step and a jump from Eire here, you know.

I've been to the Dublin brewery and been on the tour distance and freshness does not cover up the taste. Now there are several English breweries that approach the Dutch in beercraft. J.W. Lees & Co and Whitebread both make excellent brews.

I would give anything for a Fosters

9/10 lions with green shoes prefer the taste of Fosters over PBR.


You are correct about bad beer, you front load the good stuff (it is usually higher in alcohol) and finish with the cheap PBR, MB, or the worst Lone Star/Pearl light. You have not truely busted your beer cherry until you have tried the horror that is anything coming from the Lone Star brewing company.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...psh. Boddingtons is where its at.

[Haro!]

I'm a Guinness man.

[Tenou]

WEAK. Canadian beer is where it's at, I think Corona tastes like water, as well as any other imported or American beer. I like Canadian (the beer)Here, here!
Had a friend from the US his first week here we took him to the pub for lunch and, per usual, a beer with the meal. Poor boy didn't know what he was getting into and went to class more than a little buzzed.

Guinness should be on everyone's list, even if only as an occasional indulgence. I wouldn't drink Guinness all the time, but it's great when I'm in the mood.
Nope. I ended up at Pógue Fadó for a friend's birthday, and since I wasn't DD, I decided to indulge in an adult beverage with my supper. Since it's the Irish in Irish what do I order, but a pint of Guinness. Two sips and I was done. Not I emptied the glass in two sips, but that I took two sips and couldn't take another drink.
Though I won't say never, I will say that enough time hasn't passed for me to want to try again, and is more than likely more than a few years off.

Drink of choice is Kokanee (though don't tell anyone because it's west coast, tree-hugging hippy crap).
But I do drink Keith's (a real East coast beer, a man's beer, a beer you don't have to be ashamed of) depending on where I am and what I'm doing.

[Hybrid Shock]

Meh, its quite tasty for its cheap price, like 4 bucks for 6 bottles. However, I would give anything for a Fosters. :D

you.. are.. kidding.. me... right

we export that crap cause we outright refuse to drink that stuff

[drgenestarwind]

Guinness is my absolute favorite but I discovered a beer on tap in the UK while I was there this summer, its called Caffery's, its a lighter coloured stout with very good flavor and body that is really refreshing, wish I could find it here.

[master terrence]

:O what?? well, it's some of the best I've tasted (which is limited).

[Tuna]

I don't like beer, but on the occasions when I'm willing to try, it's Guinness from the tap or nothing...
^_^

[superplough]

I've tried Guinness, it's disgusting!:x

[Tuna]

I've tried Guinness, it's disgusting!:xTrue...but I have a thing for burnt toast too - so it's kind've right up my alley that way.
:D

[Caifane]

Dos X and Modelo Negra for me. if those arent around its bud light.

[ryushe]

True...but I have a thing for burnt toast too - so it's kind've right up my alley that way.
:D
You know, I think this is the perfect way to describe Guinness.

So no one's ever tried Jesus Beer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bwc3a1O9lY)?

[DazzleKitty]

Does Smirnoff count? It's classified as beer though some people in my experience have called it a wine cooler.

I'm not really that keen on other beers. I prefer sweeter drunks. Busch is the most tolerable out of the ones I have drank. I despise Bud Lite.

[Leader Desslock]

You know, I think this is the perfect way to describe Guinness.
I thought the exact same thing. Guinness is about as close as I can come to drinking beer straight, but even then, I won't enjoy it. As someone else mentioned, Heineken's makes a good cooking beer.

I've tried any number of beers from any number of microbreweries. The closest I can come to beer while still enjoying the experience would be... mead?

[Soluzar]

The mead I've tasted was rather like alcoholic syrup, is it much the same in your experience?

[Dishboy]

i do like a good arogant bastard ale, other than that i like a nice bavarian hefeweizen, widmer brothers hefeweizen is good stuff too, black toad stout, and a fat weasel ale to go along with it. double chocolate stouts are really good too. hey man i can't help it i live in portland. oregonians produce lots and lots of really good microbrews, i encourage you all to check out oregon for your beers

Alesmith makes some good beer (I like Old Numbskull myself), I have yet to have a truely bad Imperial Stout. The best ber ever is Westvleteren 12, good luck getting some though.

Honesty, Mead is a little to "thick" and sweet for my liking, kinda like pancake syrup that can make you drunk.

Plus, I'm not a huge fan of honey.

[Soluzar]

Sounds like it's the same all the world over, then. When a friend of mine brought a bottle of mead home, I was impressed with the alcholic potency, but I didn't like the taste enough to try more than a few sips.

[Bernard_Monsha]

You know, I think this is the perfect way to describe Guinness.

No carbonated sewage is more apt.

[Leader Desslock]

Just like any wine (or sake, etc.), some meads are sweeter than others, and some have a drier taste than others. I've drunk some cloyingly sweet meads, wines and sakes (which I don't generally like), and I've had some meads that are refreshingly crisp, tart, etc. I had a macadamia nut mead in Hawaii that was just amazing and made an excellent dessert wine. It all depends on the mead.

A lot of the meaderies in Colorado specialize in melomels, which are fruited meads. They taste rather like wine coolers. I forget the name of the place that bottles it, but they've got a strawberry rhubarb mead that's just about the most delicious thing I've ever drunk. It's not thick or sweet at all. Redstone Meadery in Boulder also makes a blackberry mead that's quite good on a hot day.

Really, it just depends on what they want to make. I've had a few meads that were thicker and sweeter than a port wine, so I'd say there's a spectrum of meads to try. I'd suggest going to a winery/meadery to taste their samples. Let 'em know you don't like the sweet stuff, and they'll be happy to show you the other end of the spectrum.

I'm not really that keen on other beers. I prefer sweeter drunks. Busch is the most tolerable out of the ones I have drank. I despise Bud Lite.

Smirnoff is a malt beverage (3% alcohol). Mike's hard lemonade isn't bad either.

[Ikari Warrior]

I just got addicted to Woodchuck Cider. It ain't beer per-sey, but at least it doesn't trigger my gag reflex.

As far as real beers are concerned, I'm still getting acquainted. At 24, I'm just know getting my taste for beer. As of now, I like Coors Light, Killians, and blue moon.

I drink Guiness to put hair on my chest.

[Anamin]

As a rule I don't generally drink beer. I can say that the two times I've had Coors lite, I've never finished the can.

[Nano]

San Miguel beer


I love San Maguel Beer

But I like Peroni more.

Ah, Blue Moon...tastes like peaches...mmmm....

After reading this thread, I am sorely tempted to try mead again also.

[Neo0tak0n]

my friends brew beer, usually a stout and an ipa. the ipa is hella' hoppy. otherwise i just drink Killians.

but seriously, red wine all the way!!

[Soluzar]

Smirnoff is a brand of Vodka where I come from. Of course there's also Smirnoff Ice, a pre-mixed bottled drink containing vodka and bitter lemon. None of their varieties are even simiar to beer.

[Kstyle]

The best beer of the world is in Belgium. (Westvleteren, Duvel, Stella, Hoegaarden, Palm?..)
And I know, I live there. ;)

[Soluzar]

Hoegaarden is kinda nice. It's not my everyday tipple, but I have a couple of bottles once in a while when I'm feeling in that kind of a mood, and it does taste different in a good way.

[eyes_still_see]

Greene King IPA, Deuchars IPA, and perhaps Miller ,though only because I've drunk it since I was 15. Bavaria is also an awesome lager.

[Danju]

Beer is gross.
