I don't mean that in a bad way, I probably should have said "discriminating"

. I have no problem with anyone who is interested in searching out brewing or distilling perfection.

and on to other comments...

And coors lite is one of the coldest tasting beers in the world, but it is also one of the most weakest tasting beers too, I know I put away a shitload!

IMO the whole "shits" thing is, for me at least crappola

I've been hearing that since Schlitz will give you the shits never have had the shits because of beer and I've drank a lot of beer in the last 26 years :icon26:

If you like pilsner, try Pilsner Urquell. I'm pretty sure you can find it down there. It's brewed in Plzen, Czech Republic the birthplace of pilsners. I'm drinking one now. Damn fine beer, it's got a bit of a bitter flavour kind of nutty, very crisp.

I've had Pilsner Urqell, it's a good beer. :icon14:

I like this stuff very much. I've tried their India Ale too which is quite good.

I havent had the luck to grab that Samual Smiths. Being seasonal and in smaller quantities its is useually gobbeled up there in the uk.

I did like their Oatmeal Stout tho.

Not a big stout fan but drinking oyster stout (Marston's) while eating oysters owns.

Post by **Pho** » Fri Mar 04, 2005 2:51 am

Murphy's is a great stout, nicer than Guiness I think.

Also irish.

Man, I can't believe I actually found some pics of McNeil's beers online.

Damn fine stuff.

Guiness lately.

When I'm in a lager mood it's Erdinger Weissbrau, Moosehead, Hoegaarden. If I'm feeling like a casual drink I'll get Leffe, and if I'm slumming it I'll sink to Carling or Carlsberg.

Chimay Grand Reserve is also one fine Ale From Belguim. Expensive but with the taste smells and potent 9.0% ABV well worth every penney.

I actually picked up a 6 pack of Sam's Double Bock (not the chocolate version, which we can't get in Ohio) last week. I can't stand it. One of the few crafted beers that I don't like.

OTOH, any Chimay brew is execellent.
I've got a couple more bottles of my own home brewed "celebration" ale which is kind of a cross between Sam Smith's and Great Lakes x-mas ales. I also have a batch of Belgian Dubble that I need to bottle. Both are very high ABV. 2 pints and you've got a really good buzz.

I completed a 100 beer "world tour" in December. Here's the new list for 2005, which is quite a bit different than the 2004 list, but you get the idea. http://www.winkinglizard.com/100beers.asp
The Winking Lizard has been nominated for best beer program in the USA for a few years now and won it a couple times. Yummy stuff. I've definately become a beer snob since starting to brew my own and drinking all these different beers from around the world.

Joke:

How are (mass produced) American beers like sex in a canoe?

They are both fucking close to water.

Oh and Duvel and Orval and mint, too. My favorite brewery for a while was Ayinger. The make several excellent beers including Celebrator Dopplebock.
Porters, stouts, wheats, crafted ales and lagers, and just about anything Belgian. Those Belgian monks know how to make a damn good beer.

Post by **R00k** » Fri Mar 04, 2005 1:25 pm

Kirin and Sapporo are pretty good beers too. Kirin's a lager I believe, but I'm not sure exactly what Sapporo is. It's been a while since I've had it.

Post by **Fender** » Fri Mar 04, 2005 1:30 pm

As far as American breweries, you can't go wrong with Sam Adams, Great Lakes, Stone or Rogue. Fat Tire is good as well, but harder (for me) to find.

This is a really cool site, IMO.
http://www.beeradvocate.com/
You can rate beers, search styles, etc. So, if you find a beer you like, look it up, find the beer you like and start trying other similar ones with decent ratings. Great way to weed out the chaf, so to speak.

omg ror lolf kracus has shit taste, knows fuck all about beer, and yet refuses to shut up--who could have possibly imagined

I realized there was an omission in my previous post: when I want to drink copious amounts, we head down to essenhaus and drink Spaten by the boot-ful.

Heineken owns it, and by that i mean it took over the brewery.
Good beer, i like it.

Also, this one is for getting drunk fast:

i think its time we started a beer exchange!

Post by **ForM** » Sat Mar 05, 2005 12:19 am

A beer excange is not something I would do. As if I would sent off a 750 mill bottle of some Grand Reserve or Tripple and recive some shit like Coors Light.
With the sender telling me how "Awsome" it is.

Dont think so.

Youngs Double Chocolate Stout.

Pretty dammed nice. Just no real ABV to it.
