i am a huge fan of most german beers, the thicker the better. i am a person who likes dark heavy beer, as a bonus they come with lots of alcohol

I no longer drink as I used to be really, really good at it. When I did though, I too loved a strong, dark stout.

Guiness Extra was my favourite.

i am not sure if it is available here in the states but i will keep my eye out

[Dr_Freeze001]

I'm gonna be honest, and as a Belgian I feel kinda ashamed, but I like me a nice Light beer. Hell, Eastern brands especially. A nice Kingfisher, A bottle of Saigon, some Tsing Tao to wash the food down maybe. I just like to drink, and these being so light, are an overall enjoyable experience. 

 

Of course, there is nothing wrong with a good ol' traditional Leffe or Duvel, but hey, beer is good. Usually I drink Carlsberg tho, a bit in-between.

[Amidatelion]

i am not very fond of IPAs

[KOS_Baconman]

I'm not fond of beer, it tastes pretty raunchy to me. The flavour might grow on me though, ya know, when I'm actually allowed to drink it. Anyway, my dad likes one called Samuel Adams oktoberfest or something

[talon70]

Currently enjoying a sam adams

 

Escape Route.... every pilot should have one!

 

Its a lager/ale hybrid. Complex and kinda tasty.

There's one beer I've experienced that essentially ruins all other beer for me. (Mutch like Ardberg Uigedail and Lagavulin ruin all other scotches for me.)

I have an ex in Boston. I live in NY. A short drive from Boston is a town called Framingham, and in Framingham is a brewery called Jack's Abbey.

Once while at a local bar and grill in Boston, I asked for a recommendation. I told the guy I liked dark beers, as that was about the limit of my knowledge. He produced for me one Smoking Dagger Black Lager.

This wonderful beer was smoky, rich, had a hint of spice, and was all around delicious. It has easily been my favorite beer. However, I've since tried to get it while in New York, and the bottles here don't even compare to the bottles over in Boston. My guess is that transporting the beer bounces it around and disturbs the quality somehow. I pseudo-confirmed this hypothesis when I purchased two six packs in Boston and brought them home, only to find them quite lacking.

Should you ever find yourself in those parts, do yourself a favor and order one. The bar we were at was Sunset Bar and Grille. (NOT Sunset Cantina.)

If you see it in stores elsewhere, it's still good to my taste, but it doesn't compare. Alas, I am but a lost soul in these parts.

i think it would be fun to make a hawken inspired home brew recipe. i am thinking a porter would be good 

[MomOw]

I bought that last day, only because it looked cool, BTW the taste was OK 

 

[Superkamikazee]

Pretty tasty for a strong beer

This! Love me some Draught Guinness!

Actually went to Dublin just to visit the birthplace of my love among beer's.

[OdinTheWise]

i don like guinness, it is too light for me. also little known fact: guinness sold here in the states is brewed in canada 

[schwanzlurch]

i like beer...i have some favorites...but my mission ( i do believe) is to drink around the world and try out as much as possible to not let one slip my grasp, that could be the 'one'  !

 

today i want to introduce a Pilsner or pale lager, that should be most appropriate in our midst... ^^

Depends on the type.

 

Draught Guinness has to come from a St. James Gate-certified brewery. Import/Export gets licensed willy-nilly. 

 

And then there are the rare breweries that have a license to produce their own version of Guinness entirely. The Bahamas has one and it's like 7% and heavier on the sweet malts.

Ooh Ardbeg! I've only had the Alligator.

 

I'm not too picky with my beer, which is nice because I have a lot of local brews to choose from!

 

Btw Tickle, I tried Barleywine last night, it was delicious!

Not to make y'all jealous, but I'm currently at the wonderful weekly event known as pint night. All the microbrews I want for $2 a pint. Man I love the land of beer, Oregon is a great place.

Assignments: Done.

Taxes: Filed.

Exams: Next week.

War Wednsday: Today.

 

Let's do this.

 

 

Yeah, that'll get me started.

 

 

Big fan of the gueuze. The only lambic I can really stand. Let's see how this one does tonight.

 

 

This is the only one I'm hit-or-miss on. Grand Crus are finicky things at the best of times and I've met a few that could just be drainpoured. But this is St. Feuillien, so I have high hopes.

 

 

One of the best goddamn beers in the entire goddamn world? Don't mind if I do, Ontarian socialized alcohol monopoly, don't mind if I do.

 

 

Beer from the Yukon. Why the fuzzy bunny not.

Oh, I remember the first time this game to Canada. The heart-pounding excitement of the orderly queue outside Summerhill. The raucous riot of noise as the LCBO announced there were only 10 cases and everyone began apologizing to the people behind them. The fuzz-eating grin on my face as I walked out with the 9th case.

 

This time I only got the 1 bottle because I'm not that liquid anymore. Besides, it's to go with this:

 

 

Procured at great expense at the recommendation of ticklemyiguana. This had better deliver, or I'm taking my $60 out of your hide, boy.

Tonight's selection

[Bratwurst]

[CrimsonKaim]

How about a Hawken beer party? For every kill you get one beer :D

[Zdragow]

I usually can't do beer. Too light for me. Rums and whiskey are usually more my style.

 

If I do drink a beer, it's usually a Belgian sour or summat.

Especially if I can find this somewhere.

I first tried that at a lovely place in San Antonio called "The Flying Saucer". Was it expensive? Yes, but worth every penny.

[eth0]

I just had Dogfish Head Namaste on Monday night and I think it's my new favorite. Honorable mention to Oberon and a good oatmeal stout.

[crockrocket]

Turns out we have some local (well Cali) Barley Wine that's really fuzzing good. 

Spoiler

One of the best by Lagunitas I've had

[Amidatelion]

The problems with barley wines are that by the time you're done one, you're in no condition to judge it.

Which was exactly my state when I posted. Though I was sober for the first few delicious sips.

Is anyone else going through this stupid hop craze? I swear, if I see another god damn IPA....
