Beer you say?

[Kazz]

I am with Spud.....COLD is my favorite....for years when I was a young guy....not quite fully sarcastic yet :-) I drank Bud Light several nights a week as I was out playing in pool leagues....as I got older and moved to Oregon...I found Micro Brews...Hefeweizen with a chunk of orange is now my favorite.....I still dabble with the occasional Bud Light...or Heineken another favorite...or an ice cold Corona with lime. Yummo

generally like a thick chewy steak since I don't drink much. I like quality over quantity. Modified to make my hunger go away. Beer isn't one of my favorite drinks, however I do like Strum's beer girls if that counts for great taste.

It counts Street....it definitely counts.

[Tig***]

Ditto. On the rare occasion I drink a beer (VERY rare), I'll take a Guiness or something else dark and thick.

Ditto plus 11'ty. Quality over quantity.
I can't stand the American macro brewery swill p-p water!

[luvmyshiner]

I'm glad to see we don't have any Coors Light fans here. If I want to drink warm piss, I can make my own.

[street music]

Hey what has become of JUST STRUM, I haven't seen him post lately?? I know he doesn't drink much anymore but I expected his girls to show up for this thread.

I have been doing a lot of Dogfish Head recently (60, 90, and 120 minute) but I also enjoy a few from Saranac brewery. You've got to support the locals.

My current favourites in no particular order:
McEwans Scotch Ale, Innis & Gunn Whiskey Aged, Okanagan Springs Porter, Amber's Brewery (here in Edmonton) Australian Mountain Pepper Berry, and my plain standard would probably be Moosehead Lager...

I just found some new beers in a liquor store. I bought them both, having a Trois Pistoles right now.

Trois Pistoles
Maudite

Both from Quebec.

Oh man, these things are strong! 9 and 8 % - more than I am used to.

Good ratings:

OOOoooo...a little Unibroue, hey? You should've tried a 2004 cranberry something or other they made...a little girly, but still pretty awesome. The "Blanche de Chambly" is also very nice, I believe a bit cloudy, but nice. Did you buy the "wine bottle" Unibroue??

[Robert****]

No Rylan, I just went with the only Unibroue products in the store... these beers are growing on me though, especially the more I have of them...

[sunvalleylaw]

UniBrow product?

[Spudman***]

This is great. You guys have mentioned a whole bunch of beers I've never tried. After I rob a bank I think I'll go on a beer spree.

I like the beer I make, although the Oatmeal Stout I made just ran out. I made a Duessedorfer-style Altbier that was to die for. Generally speaking I prefer heavier/more bitter beers and then enjoy them for a good long while. I've always got to mind my Ps and Qs of course, especially since I'm on call 24/7. Sometimes I make a low-gravity beer like a Mild or Ordinary Bitter for all that beery goodness yet with low alcohol.

Rather than favorite beers, my favorite style are:
Duesseldorfer-style Altbier (e.g. Zum Uerige)
IPA (I make one briefly titled "Lion Fan in Packerland Extremely Bitter IPA")
Doppelbock (Paulaner Salvator will be the beer on tap in heaven)
Barleywine/Imperial Stout
Tripel (Chimay White aka Cinq Cents)
Lambics, especially Gueuze or Kriek (Boon Mariage Parfait is wonderful but almost impossible to find anymore)--generally speaking Lambic tends to be the one beer style that even beer geeks don't like. It's not for the faint of palate.
Bohemian Pilsner (Pilsner Urquell or Budvar/Czechvar)

Actually it's easier for me to say the beer styles I don't like. Obviously I don't much care for American mega stuff, although a Leinies isn't 1/2 bad in a pinch. I also don't really like Bavarian wheat beers. Not a fan of cloves, unfortunately.

As much as I love German beer, especially Bavarian brews, Weisen has never been one of my favorites either. Much to acidy for me and I don't care for the aftertaste because of it.

I never tried a Weisen I really liked.

[ZMAN]

I like Carlsberg, and Faxe Piilsener, Amber and Festbock. I can never find them when I am in Maine. When I am in the US I like MGD, Killians, Icehouse, and one of my all time favourites. Old Milwaukee. In the craft brew section a brewery in the Topsham,and Bangor Maine area is the Sea Dog Brewing Co, They have some fine ales and beers.
Another thing that really makes me mad is buying a dozen Molson Canadian beers in Maine for 8.59 plus 60 cents deposit, and paying 19.95 for the same thing in Canada.

Generally, I agree for commercial Weizen, though I bet there are some amazing homebrews out there in that style. I tried a Sierra Nevada Weizen (Kellerweiss) a week or two ago, and it was quite good on a hot summer eve!

+1. I was just getting ready to sing the praises of 60 minute IPA when I saw your post. That's top-5 for me.

My favorite styles are probably American IPAs, APAs, German Pilseners/Lagers, and maybe Brown Ales. For cheap beer, Yuengling or Miller Lite are both OK. I guess those are my 'lawnmower beers.'

Oddly, I've never actually had Guinness.

[mjk123]

how about "Free Beer"...?

[Eric***]

Bohemian Pilsner (Pilsner Urquell or Budvar/Czechvar)

I agree. Good stuff.

Staropramen? Isn't that another big one?
