BEER!

[jframe]

It's been a while since we've had a good alcohol thread, so here goes. I'm sitting here tonite, in from the cold, enjoying one of my favorite brews, a Michelob AmberBock. What are some of y'all's favorites? I like almost anything dark and flavorful, such as this Michelob and some of the Sam Adams brews. Let's hear what y'all enjoy, since this is the Season for consuming adult beverages.

Sierra Nevada Porter.................Yum

And thank goodness for it.

Well, at the moment I am enjoying a 24 oz. beechwood aged classic.

But only cause I'm trying to save up for that next K frame. If I had my choice it would be either a local brew from Bell's Kalamazoo called Trumpeter's stout, not as heavy as it sounds and ton's of good fat ale flavor or, an Anchor Steam.

The new Sam Adams winter ale is great, but since I am broke I am drinking High Life light

If you're a bourbon fan and a beer drinker, you have GOT to try Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale. It's exactly what it sounds like... An ale brewed in Kentucky and then aged in bourbon barrels.

It. Is. Amazing.

That sounds like heaven in a bottle! I hope its available in the booze desert better known as Oklahoma.

Bar Harbor Ale, from Maine of course.

 

[snkhalltx]

Lone Star beer anytime. Reminds me of home.

 

[Big Cholla]

Newcastle Brown Ale from England for me. .......... Big Cholla

Geese, Louise! I forgot my favorite USA brewed beer........Shiner's Hefeweizen, very tasty with Tex-Mex.

 

[mkk41]

Rolling Rock for me. Yeah , it's no longer brewed here in PA , but it's still good. Occasionally , I'll grab a case of Molson Canadian Lager for a change of taste.

I like American beer. At home I have Coors Light on hand. At one of the 2 pubs I visit, I drink Bud on tap and Miller High Life at the other.

I've spent too much time in Europe sampling the European brews to ever drink anything else again. The original (1842) Pilsner Urquell brewed in the Czech Republic is my favourite, but there are also many notable beers in countries such Germany, Ukraine, and Holland that are really quite good.

On Wednesday night one of the local taverns had a special on Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. $2.50 for 16 oz. drafts.

Now, I am one who favors beer in cans or bottles, but this was too good to pass up. So, I did not and enjoyed 8 of them. (Know that b/c my tab was $20.00.)

Was quite a nice evening...watching college hoops and drinking beer....all the while perched on a bar stool...with a blazing fireplace just a few feet away.

Be safe.

I was enjoying Yuengling Lager last night. They also brew a super Porter and classic Black & Tan. May have to get a case of Negra Modelo for Christmas. It is a wonderful, dark, hoppy German Style lager brewed in Mexico.

North Carolina beer

Highland's Oatmeal Porter! Brewed in Ashville, NC's hippy-land but the beer is good!

 

[truckemup97]

Beer: Proof that God loves us!

Shiner Bock is my usual choice. I had a few Abitas in N.O. a few weeks ago, and they were quite good, too. If I'm enjoying Mexican food, I'll have a Dos Equos Amber. If I'm feeling cheap, I'll buy an 18 pack of Coors cans for the 'fridge.

 

[Muddyboot]

It's Killian's for me, I'v never been a big drinker, so two Killian's puts me in a good place.

 

[CAJUNLAWYER]

Abita Turbo Dog-good and good for ya.

You owe it to yourself to try some of the stuff from the smaller American breweries. I used to drink mostly the European stuff, but after the micro brews started coming out, I started trying more of them and haven't looked back.

Especially after I started homebrewing, I came to appreciate the difference between a really fresh, unpasteurized beer and the European stuff. A good fresh American micro brew beats a European beer that's been pasteurized and shipped on a boat ten ways to Sunday. When in Europe I'd definitely drink the good fresh stuff there!

I've had a beer while hunting in the UP of Michigan called Big Two Hearted Ale. Good stuff!

Well, I like my own. The wife and I have been home brewing for about six years. She has become such a beer snob that there aren't many commercial beers she will drink (although I am known to backslide on occasion). Her family is Scott/Irish and mine is German so we brew different styles.

We refer to them as "stay home" beers -- after you drink one or two it is best to stay home!
