Henry Weinhard's Premium Draught Root Beer.  Best I've ever had.

Hope I'm not sucking the fun from this thread, just no hard stuff for me.

I used to live in Hiroshima and the Japanese beer companies would produce seasonal and specialty flavors that would go on sale for a hsort time and then disappear forever. I remember Kirin marketed a killer black & tan and Suntory make some great summer ales. The beer gardens were awesome there. Imagaine all you can drink beer and sushi, BBQ, shrimp, crab, and cute drunk chicks for $25.

1 of my sons swears by Fat Tire(or is it Bicycle Tire).  It's OK, IMHO, but I drink beer more for the buzz than it's taste.  However, I prefer smoother tasting beers.  I went to a beer tasting day @ Calistoga?(Napa Valley) years ago where I could try whatever I wanted for $20.  I liked a smooth wheat beer there best, but like I say,  it's the buzz that I'm really looking for.  I like to ride after 2-3 beers.  Makes things more enjoyable, IMHO.   ;)

As if you would know a good beer if it weren't pissed down your throat...




Ooooohh, I musta hit a nerve.  Like motorcycles, beer preferences are totally subjective.   ;D

Man, we have beer snobs here for sure.  This has been on my lips for the last 3 or 4 years.  It makes your bike handle better if you stay away from the other heavyweight groceries as well.  Loosing ground this year though.  I've got to get my disclipine back. ;)


Damn, Michelob Ultra won't let you paste their link.  It red X's.  Jack and Charles seem to like it though.  It's Crown and water tonight since the shutdown is maturing.  I'm tired.

I like to drink beer from the local guys. That's mostly City Brewery in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. That used to be Old Style until it was closed down. Then the workers with some help from the State and a couple of investors took over. Their premium Pale Ale is what I usually buy. Or I get Schell's of New Ulm, Minnesota in their various varieties. Summit of Saint Paul , Missesota is really good, and fresh is bought nearby.

I used to brew my own, but for the last few years I've not had the kitchen space needed.

I'm and Oregon dude... Deschutes Brewery Black Butte Porter, and Guinness when I'm feeling "Brilliant!"

Of course, I have been known to drink just about anything when thirsty, but I have to be pretty damn thirsty to drink a Bud.  Come to think of it, I have not been that thirsty since high school.

I've done Murphy's at the brewery also... man was it good, and did I ever get shnockered (I was about 22 then). 

I did try the yuengling ale.  My buddy brought back the "variety" pack and, though I'm not a fan of ales, it was pallateable for sure.  I prefer smooth clean (yes... even slightly fruity-nosed) beers.  I don't think they're girly-man beers, just not as heavy.  I actually like beer with alc. % between 6-10.  I do get the ocassional hankerin' for a dark or even black beer.  Anyone had a black beer import called Tsingu (sp?).  Comes in a small wine bottle and one will put you on your a$$.  It's black as spades...and gooooooood.  Don't remember the country of origin.(Australia maybe?).

well, 'wee heavy'-a scotch ale from custom brewcrafters; a local brewmeister.

or, espresso stout from rohrbach's brewing just down the road.

of course, there's a bottle of Mr. Daniel's kentucky finest in the freezer.

My Chinese girlfrind and cook was born in Tsingtao, so that is what we usually drink.  Green bottles; kind of a German-style lager.  They built the old brewery in Tsingtao before the '49 revolution.  Chairman Mao tossed them out on their ears.  Correct spelling nowadays is Qingdao.

Sam Adams when in the USA
Harveys when in Sussex UK
Youngs in London
Grolsch when drinking from Cans (Grolsch or any other beer that is brave enough to print the ingredients on the can. If they don't own up to what is in it then every chance it comes out of a chemical factory)
Guiness if everything else looks dodgy
And never, never, never Heineken.  See reference to Chemical factories.

Guinness, Bass Ale, Fat Tire, Shiner Bock, Modelo Dark, Pauly Girl.

I like to enjoy one of these, sitting in my garage while it's pouring rain, admiring the MPH showroom luster and shine on my EV.
