OT:? Favorite Beers - 5/20/2007 8:51:18 PM

Status: offline 		OK, I know a few of you may be beer drinkers, so let's list our favorites. Today I'm trying out a domestic bock from the hamlet of Shiner, Texas (pop 2070). It's not bad, and it amazes me how much variety is available here in WV.

I can go to my local convenience store and browse in their walk-in cooler. They have the usual suspects (Heineken, Guinness Stout, Beck's, etc), but once in awhile something unusual appears, like the above-mentioned Shiner Bock, manufactured by the Spoetzl Brewery (est 1909). Had to try it, as my wife's family is from Texas.

Anyway, my usual beer is the tried and true Bud Light, but I like variety. Guinness Stout is also a favorite, as is Michelob Amber Bock.

Does wargaming and beer-drinking go hand-in-hand? Yes it does.

My favorite, though, is Rolling Rock, formerly of Latrobe, PA.

Excellent stuff with fresh-grilled, road-kill, and stuffed-jalapenos!

I don't tend to get in to the 'big brand' North American beers. I like a few of the varieties of Sleemans and Big Rock we've got up here. Most Brit beers are pretty good. I quite like picking up something new whenever I can, and have found that Jamaica Stout, Sapporo, and Kenya Tusker are good. And Pacifico is a good 'chillin' on the deck with friends and BBQ steak' kinda beer.

McEwans Irish Ale is nummy. Blue Moon Belgian Wheat beer is good too.

Free beer is my favorite, though.

There are other dark beers I like too, but for some reason, I like Killian's taste better than most.

I really can't stand many of the weak beers that are on tap in many bars.

Though I'm not a specialist, i'd argue than best beers are the special ones from Belgium. I like them blond, dark or white.
Lately, I'm found of Leffe (worldwide distributed) and the "Blanche de Namur" is the best white beer I know.

Jupiler is the best lager in the world, though it's less tasty since they changed the logo so that you don't see the balls of the bull anymore....

Well youy may have a point there.

But to truly enjoy the beer, we know that you have to eat a Brat along with it. Try a Johnsonville Bratwurst with a Leine's beer & you will then know one of the finer things in life.

Also have to agree that free beer is the best! with one proviso, no scotch buy!
After that, a black and tan is like mother's milk to me! (guinness stout & Bass ale)

Because back to Wisconsin, when we aren't drinking beer we're drinking Brandy. Try a Brandy old-fashioned sweet with olives. Once we leave the state, no one seems to know how to make a good one.

Stella and Leffe...

btw, i also like Buccanero - suprisingly excellent beer from Cuba but it is impossible to buy it (except in Cuba)

Living in the Pacific NW where really good beer is made I'd have to say my favorite would have to be an IPA probably Bridgeport or Widmer. Tasty on a hot day

Time to educate: When you hear about "Dog Style" they aren't talking about beer and it isn't a bad thing.
