Sheesh, Peanut, that Milwaukee stuff would gag a maggot at 100 yards! :eek:

I must admit, I think most American beers (a few micro-breweries excepted) should be put back into the horse from which it so obviously came. If you want REAL beer, talk to the Germans, Austrians, Dutch, and Slovaks. :D

[Bruce FLinch]

Most Micro-Brews, tickle my tastebuds. If I drink two & feel full enough to stop,the 'buds are happy. IPA's, Stouts, Porters, Pale Ale. :cool:

Q: What does drinking Coors Light & makin' love on the beach have in common?

A: They're both F@*#in' close to water!
:D

[Marlin]

Any good Bach beer from a keg.

[wolfgang2000]

I must agree!! :eek: :D

[Kasatka]

I'm a Fat Tire man myself. Along with a nice Guinness stout, St. Pauli Girl, or any beer from the Czech Republic. Oh yes.

[stash247]

Killian's Red Ale, or, if my little brother is about, (He's into airfreight, in the Pacific Basin), Kirin Ichiban. (Thanks , Rob) The two best on earth, in my book!

[xxxxxxl]

Shiner and Modello.

[scudrunner]

I have tasted beer from a lot of places (not everywhere) around the world Germany, Japan, Korea but the best I have ever had was CREEMORE SPRINGS from Creemore, Ontario, Cananda. Its a really smooth Lager but of course you cant get it here for which I have mixed emotions about really. I know I would be drinking it all the time if it were available in the USA.

[1952Sniper]

Ain't nothing better than a good Shiner Bock.

[Pistolenschutze]

I think the best one I tasted in Europe was a British beer, Tennants I think it was called. Always on tap in the pubs. In Switzerland I encountered one in Lucern that I really liked. I've forgotten the exact name, but it was a locally produced beer that was put up in reusable bottles with a rubber cap. Really good stuff. Of course, if you really want to get blasted, its the German lagar beers you need to sample, especially the dark ones. Wonderful stuff, but a couple of those is like having about six drinks. Old Joe Sixpack would not survive in Germany! :D

[inplanotx]

Portland ale and Fat Tire!

[358 winchester]

COLD
:rolleyes:

[Marlin]

I agree with 358. I want mine extremely COLD at any times and from any source. I often drink it over ice for that reason.

[MnHunter]

Well I have never been able to drink beer but I will drink "WILD TURKEY"... :eek:

[1952Sniper]

I agree with 358. I want mine extremely COLD at any times and from any source. I often drink it over ice for that reason.
You know, I've often wondered why people don't drink beer over ice. Why is that? It would just be like a soft drink or any other beverage. Why is it never served over ice? The closest anyone comes is serving in a frosty mug (one of my favorite ways to drink Shiner Bock, fresh off the tap in a frosty mug).

I've considered pouring my beer over ice before, but I always stop as if there were some unwritten rule against it.

[Peanut Man]

Beer on ice is too slow to drink! The ice cubes create friction which make it get into my mouth that much slower.

Peanut Man

[flopshot]

damn if i must be on some furrin web site. yal'll tossin all these dang europe soundin brews like ya livin in LA or sumpin. i drink a dang merican beer. BILLY BEER !! it is gittin pert near hard ta find nowadays. :(

[jcp123]

FAVORITE all-time...Stiegl. It's an Austrian beer, pretty full-bodied, dark, and strong, but without that yucky Guinness heavyness. But, you can't get it on this side of the pond.

Favorite available beer: I like Negra Modelo, imported Mexican ale, but at $7 per six pack it's still not really cheap.

Favorite everyday beer: Although I don't really like light beers, Miller High Life is the swill I have "day to day". Except for the grainy aftertaste, it's not a terrible beer as long as it's ice cold, and at $7 for a 12-pack, it doesn't drain the pocketbook as much either. So, in the end, cheapness trumps all. Besides, I'm hoping that after enough of these, the Girl on the Moon will pay me a visit :cool:

[Gabob]

Fat Tire
Wish it was available in the Southeast.

[gunfreakboy]

My favorite is Heineken, I normally drink Labatts blue and me and the neighbors can swill a couple of bud 30 packs in a day with ease. Today I had a few Sam Adams and they tasted swell. My least favorite are Piels and Genny.

[Pistolenschutze]

It would appear from the postings that no one on TFF drinks beer. I mean, after all, the funnel was invented a long time ago, right? :p :cool:

[JohnK3]

Before I was told "no more beer" by my doctor, I had several favorites.

My own homebrewed "Red Tower Ale." Brewed with 2-row Pale Ale Malt, a little Belgian Biscuit malt, a touch of wheat and a little bit of 20 Lovibond Crystal. Northdown for bittering and Fuggles for aroma and finish hops. Ringwood Ale yeast. MMMMM!!!!!

Then, for Christmas, we left Samichlaus out for Santa. Brewed on "Samichlaus Day" (December 6) in Switzerland (now in Austria) and left fermenting until next Samichlaus Day, it topped out at close to 15% ABV. Highest ABV lager beer made. Had all sorts of wonderful flavors in it, even though only malt, water, hops and yeast went into the brew.

New Years usually saw a Belgian Trappist, such as Chimay (GREAT with Chimay cheese, made by the same monks that brew the beer!) or Westmalle.

In the summer, I'd usually drink Hoegaarden, especially with hot wings. Yumm!!!

[Bruce FLinch]

Someone mentioned American beers? Michigan was 18 yr adulthood I was weened on Blatz & then Strohs. PBR was redneck beer ( my bro's favorite ). Then it was Michelob & Heinekin. During my Navy years, in Subic Bay, we drank San Miguel over ice, & we liked it. After the Navy , it was Dos Equis, light & then dark. Hardly drank a Macro-brew since. Sam Adams, Sierra Nevada, Pyramid, & micro-brews from all over the West. Won't hesitate to try a local brew when I travel. CHEERS! :D

[user_error]

Shiner and Modello.

Negro Modelo is a great mexican beer.

[user_error]

Looks like a lot of differing opinions on beer! If we're talkin under 5 bucks a six pack, I would say either michelob amber bock or, on a good sale, HW Hef, which is a great beer. To those of you who shy from guiness draught, that's fine. Some men are just BORN with the tastebuds of 12 year old girls. :D

[45Smashemflat]

Roque Brewery Dead Guy Ale.....

Followed by any Chimay Trappist Ale

[KyBlaster]

Newcastle.

Guinness doesn't come in draft, Berto. It comes in draught.

[grin]


Guinness, to be properly enjoyed, should be served at cellar temperature (55F) and through a nitrogen spigot. It should take about 5 minutes or longer to properly pour an Imperial Pint, which is the ONLY size proper to be served!

[rosierita]

BUD WEISSSSS ERRRRRRR. ;) :D

Disagree!! Guiness must be served at 33f or as cold as you can get it.

[ksswamprat]

Isn't beer the stuff that comes out the other end after drinking good whiskey?

Swamprat

[Pistolenschutze]

BUD WEISSSSS ERRRRRRR. ;) :D

Butt WIPPPPP ERRRRRRR. :D ;) Sheesh, Rosie, that stuff is almost as bad as Colorado Kool-Aid. :eek:

[JohnK3]

Nope, UE. You've been swallowing the marketroid's tripe.

A stout is a rather bitter beer. To properly enjoy a stout, it should be served around 55f. This allows the sweetness of the malt to come up and balance the bitterness of the roasted barley and hops. (Typically Northdown is used in Guinness.) When served at the proper temperature and with the proper dispensing technique, flavors start to appear that do not present themselves at colder temperatures.

Only within the last few years has Guinness advertised that horrid "serve ice-cold" crap in the mass market. That's because they got bought out by Interbrew, a conglomerate even larger than Anheuser-Busch. Their idiot marketroids wouldn't know good beer if it bit them in the butt.

[rosierita]

now, now!! i like coors too! :D ;)

there is also a beer that is made in charleston that's not too bad, but i cant remember the name of it. :o :D

[SouthernMoss]

Beer is nasty! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/SouthernMoss/smilies/bleh.gif Give me a good muscadine wine any day! ;) :D

Beer is the nectar of the gods, SoMo! ;) But I must agree, a good wine is always pleasant to the palette. I prefer the heavier red wines myself, especially a good Cabernet Savignon with nice, rare steak. :cool:

[Sackett]

A dark European beer for me. I used to get an Irish Stout when in New Orleans. Don't know if I stll can or not.

just take out the MOOOOOO! ;) :D

[polishshooter]

My current favorites:

Quantity - Miller High Life Light About $13/30 pack Let's me buy more guns than when I drink Bud or Busch :D

"Lite" beer with dinner- Miller Lite (preferably the $2 Brewtus!)

Pee-Water for when it's HOT out and you're still working - Still can't beat Genessee if it's REALLY cold, Genny Cream when you're done! (Wish I could get them in Indiana!)

Best I've ever had - Molsen Bradour Ale

And Why am I not surprised Pistolshootzer would say "GERMAN???"


It's CANADIAN, man! OV splits, Labatts (Blue or Ale)...or whatever...you want the best, you drive over the Peace Bridge....

[Pistolenschutze]

Polish, only the Germanic peoples, the Anglo-Saxons--Germans, Austrians, Brits and Dutch--truly understand beer. However, I will agree with you that the Canuks make good brew--they should, they are also Anglo-Saxons. :D Nothing is better after a hard day of pillage and conquest than a good cold brewski, I say. :eek: :rolleyes:

[polishshooter]

I dunno, PS, the Polaks can really down it too! If it's yellow and has alcohol in it it's beer. if it's clear and has alcohol in it it's wodka, if it's brown and has alcohol in it it's whiskey, if it's Red and has alcohol in it it's a Russian... :cool:

We used to have a member from Warsaw, Poland whose name was GoGetBeer, anybody heard from him?

He took pride in the fact that when he visited Central Park he saw signs that said "No Alcohol" printed in English and Polish... ;)

Remember, the drinking age in Poland is 6, any younger you have to hold it for them!

[Pistolenschutze]

The drinking age is very low over most of Europe, Polish. In many countries, if you're old enough to put the money on the bar, they'll serve you a drink. Interestingly enough, the incidence of alcoholism in Europe is far lower than it is in the U.S. Go figure.

Pick "Watch the Love"

[stetson]

Bass Ale

[eyetotheheart]

Oh! heck, just shoot me. I'm a real fancy guy.

The BEST beer is Miller High Life. A great name, too!

It's got a cool girl on the label in a big hat and dressed kind of like, I don't know. What is that girl dressed in?

[polishshooter]

SEE I2heart? We agree on SOMETHING, my main squeeze is Miller High Life Light. (I have to watch the old Polish figure you know.... :) )

[Pistolenschutze]

Isn't Miller High Life a brand of condoms, Polish? You know, same amount of effort, but half the fun? :p :D

Come on. That's like saying a good steak isn't good unless served with salt and pepper. It's the beer that's good. Ice cold is just SO much better than a tepid beer, whatever the Irish have to say about it. The only reason it's commonly served tepid was that it was invented and perfected long before the advent of a good refridgerator. 55f is about cellar temp. Why live in the 1800's when we can have an ice cold one here in the 2000s?

I completely agree, User. Warm beer is about as palatable as another amber colored substance commonly associated with equines. :D The European style of drinking really does contrast with the American style. The Brits, for example, always seem to drink their whiskey neat too. Ice is nice! :D

[southernshooter]

Gotta agree with Mpinkston



Bud LIGHT

[llama.45]

mgd

[Roughrdr]

Imported. Victoria bitter, guiness

Domestic. Coors original

[geezler]

[tonyw01]

gotta say the my top three favorites would be
1. Rolling Rock
2. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
3. Black Butte Porter

Unfortunately I can't get Sierra or Black Butte at home. I just recently tried them two as well as several other many of them from Dechuttes Brewery here in Oregon. Like them all.

[BobMcG]

Bass Ale
Sam Adams
(And for a light beer) Labatts Blue Light.
