That's scary. The local Brookshires grocery store here in little ole Kilgore, TX is now carrying that exact brew in six packs of bottles. I nearly threw a sixer into the cart last time there. Been meaning to ask you if it is any good. I'll be sure to give it a try this weekend. Wait, the wifee is gone on a two day bidness trip starting tomorrow...

I'm generally a fan of the heavier brews. Those from the larger breweries that I favor...

1 - Westmalle Tripple
2 - Leffe Grand Cru
3 - Palm (on tap)

Thats belgium beer. Love it. When I lived in New Zealand, that is the thing I missed the most.
Best beer experience is a 20 year old Geuze. That's a lot of time for fermentation and other chemical and biological processes. Has a fantastic red color. Lots of debris, needs to rest in your glas. Tastes like something you never tasted before, like pure magic. Soul beer.
Cheers!

Guinness, the closer to St. James Gate the better. In fact If I'm within 100 miles of St. James Gate it will be hard to get me to drink anything else.

Cream City Pale Ale
Riverwest Stein

Anything made in Belgium, (you have to feel sorry for the poor Belgians, since WWII the vast majority of their brewereys have closed down. They are now forced to make do with only about 1 brewery for every 100000 residents )

Pretty much anything dark and flavorful.

BTW Old Pecurliar is very tasty

Pater Lieven double (triple too)
Grimburgen
Delerium Tremens and Nocturnem
Le Trappe

Also: Belgium style beers from Unibrou
(canadian) like: Don de dieu
# 10 Reserve


German wheat beer is really good like:
Franziskaner

Blake: any beer that YOU'RE buying! :)

on one trip to Sturgis, with Iron Butt and Good Golly Ms. Molly, we overnighted in Hardin, MT (the poulation fluctuates, typically averages about 10 or 12...), and spent over an hour looking for ANYTHING resembling a dark beer for sale (tavern, grocery store, roadside stand--we didn't care!)

alas, to no avail.

being resourceful bikers, however, we finally ended up drinking (lots) of light beer in dark glasses :)

(note: "lots" was the key...)

Well, my favorite is my own.
Good Beer
But in absence of this I enjoy Guiness Extra Stout or better yet Shipyard Bluefin Stout which has the distinct taste of Cascade hops much like my own. But most any well crafted beer will do, I try not to be too snobby about it.

There were a bunch of great microbreweries along the OR/NCAL coast. Had some of that Mt. Hood brew, great stuff! Can't recall which style. But it was good! Gotta love that Hefeweizen!

New York City Guiness is perdy darn good too thar Mark!

I'm off to the grocer to pick up the Theakstons OP. Will reserve final review till after tasting it on draft though. :)

Carlsberg Classic: good, golden, Danish beer. Brewed according to the original recipies from about the time the brewery opened - over 100 years ago. Made from quality Danish barley and hoppes (sp?). As opposed to many US establishments where "tap hose cleaning" is a foreign term, this beer is really good as a tap beer in the "old country".

Belgian Beers make my head hurt usually before I finish one (something about the Hops I think). I like IPA's and Scotch Ales. And for some reason Rolling Rock I guess it's what I grew up with but it does go down well when it's ice cold.

Why are our German neighbors here so modest? Are they not lurking here any more? How can they keep their mouth shut? There is where you get the best beer: Absolutely without additions (Reinheits Gebot), and brewed at the classic timeconsuming way. Take any nameless beer right from the tap: The beer is build up with long standing white manchet in a big glas during several minutes. That is why the glas has to be so big: To keep in pace with your drinking.
Goood beer.

Hey,
Tried a bottle of the TOP last evening. Good thing that the waitress uncorked it before my very eyes, the initial aroma reminded me of something very dangerous. Once past the nose and to the lips, it was indeed one fine and tasty brew! Why yes, I'll surely have another!!

That Guinness stuff, whew. Don't get me started! Can't even drink one pint...have to order it by the pitcher to get a good fill. One adventure had me in a local Sachsenhausen pub with a buxom Red Angel throwing down the stouts', got so far out, had to rent the room upstairs.

Tis true that time can be measured with a clock, but life has to be lived each moment. And for those moments I am ever so grateful.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm beeeeeeerrrrrrrrrr.

Any real cold CANADIAN Lager is good. Stress the word CANADIAN.

Guiness goes down so smooth, like a ........
Also like Strongbow on tap on a hot day sitting on the deck of the local watering hole.

In Wisconsin, my faves were Lienenkugles Northwoods, and specific region would have to be Madison WI's The Great Dane Pub(Microbrew) off Capitol St. I drove 4 hours every other weekend to drink there, the house beers where that good. Crop Circle Wheat was great in the summer, and the brown was great anytime you felt like having more than "a few"... try the artichoke dip and play some pool while your there.

Here in the SW texas, I usually pop over to Phoenix for the Alcatraz Berwing Co. Not as good as the Dane, but an acceptable substitute.

If I have to have one off the tap, it's usually Michalob Amber Bock, or Guinness. Hopefully they one of the two... the american pales suck...

cyclone8u,

your brew looks good. i've often considered making my own, but have doubts about my abilities. can you spare some info on time, technique and costs. also how creamy of a stout can you make?

as far as the list goes:
1) guinness
2) chimay gran reserve
3) spaten optimator
4) sammy smith's taddyporter

Iggy,

I also make my own and have been doing it for a while. I started out with a basic system that cost $100 Canadian. After about 6 mths I got sick of drinking from a glass (sediment of course) so I bought a filtering and counter pressure bottling system. Well worth the money spent, I can now brew a beer that is real close to commercial brands, the best thing with the filtering system is there is not yeast aftertaste.

With the pressure system you can carbonate virtually any type of liquid, wine, kool-aid, juice, water, etc

At one point I had about 25 gallons of beer stored in the basement but now I usually keep about 5 gallons, I gave up keeping track of it in six packs. 5 gallons will usually yield about 60 bottles. Corona bottles are the best to use too.

If you want more info e-mail me and I can offer advice.

Bill

Well, as we speak, I have been boiling brats in carbonated Mississippi river water locally recognized as Michelob. Handles heat well, compliments the spices in the meats and leaves the pan sparking clean. Of course, I always buy extra to keep the cook happy and by gosh, I'm keeping the locals employed---lord knows they're only 1 mile from a Buell dealer!! Ahhh, you should hear 19 discs echoing through the brewery! And we loft a wheel for the dudes makin' brews on Broadway.
