Favorite Beer

[VA Sean]

We did the whole single malt scotch thing - but I am betting that we all drink way more beer than anything else.
To that length...

What is your favorite beer?

For many years mine was Sierra Nevada Pale Ale... but then I put on 30 lbs.
Now, I regularly buy Harp, Bass and Grolsch.
But my favorite these days, I'd have to say, is Grolsch.

[FGO]

Stella...nice and crisp

[Joliet Jim]

grolsch my favorite import,
lienies, sam adams or rolling rock small brewery
bud when you want something brewed in vats the size of rhode island.

My liquor cabinet has the following:

Elijah Craig,
Woodford Reserve,
Maker's Mark,
Seagram's 7,
Crown Royal,
Canadian Club,
Captain Morgan,
Captain Morgan Silver,
Agavero,
Heradura Gold.
Ecco Domani Pinot Grigio.

No beer.

I drink beer when I have to.  I prefer Whisky, Bourbon or Tequila.

Mike-
Okay - you may be the exception, but I believe the rule will be that the rest of us consume enough beer to make up for your lack thereof!

Besides - how can you drink tequila without an ice cold Pacifico in your hand?

[kevdog3019]

Any Belgian beer made by monks is at the top of the list.  Yuengling is"Americas oldest breweries" (Pitts., Penn.), and their lager is quite tastey.  For cheap stuff, it gets two thumbs up!  Yuengling is not distributed everywhere, so I have friends that make their way to Penn. and pick me up some now and again.  :P

Tanglefoot. Old Speckled Hen, Nelson's Blood and Shepard and Neame Porter, in England
Murphy's and Guiness, in Ireland
Trapiste and Lieffe, in Belgium
Carlsberg Elephant, in Denmark
Rolink, in Germany.

I like to drink the best beer available from the country I am in rather than import my own. The exception would be Sweden, the beer is weak, tasteless and very expensive, I normally import Danish beer to there.

I am mostly a beer drinker, but I drink wine in France or Italy becuase it's good and they don't make good beer.

[scottmartin49]

yes

Tequila shots.   Mmmm !

(Beer gives me a headache.  Don't know why.)

[twhitaker]

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this beer yet. Free beer!  ;)

It is not only avaliable at stores but it is on tap at most bar in Charlotte, so no trip to Pa needed. ;D

I like variety, so just buying American beers (even microbrews) isn't going to cut it.

As for Italy, I dunno, Morretti and Peroni are not bad. Again, there big market (relatively) beers, but they have a flavor of their own that goes well with many Italian dishes!

Kev

Have you tried their La Rossa (Morretti) it is very good. It just became avaliable in NC since they passed the higher alchol content law.

[AZ_Tim]

MooseHead beer (of course  ;) ).
 
And afterwards:  One tiny little wafer thin mint.....  

[Victim177]

Harpoon IPA.....  For about 8 yrs now
I never get anything else unless there's a problem.
 
Previous to that was Bass....previous to that Hinekin
       Guiness ...always
Pilsin Urquell.....Best of the Green Bottle beer...with Grolsh right up there..and Becks

The stuff from Italy my buddy drinks...Guy with a hat on.. on the label
Spaten....mmm
I have alot of fun drinking LaBatts Blue when I'm up north or Yulenger when I'm down south...
(observing local customs)

Enjoy a real cold Bud on a hot day
Sammy Adams,  Long Triail, Ship Yard Sierra...yea thanks...don't mind if I do.
Gimme my Harpoon though...Deep, Rich...satisfying.. warm or cold. (Good tank bag beer)
Beer's come a long way in this country....when the same thing happens with bikes we'll
all be gettin' our propper respect...DOH! 

[radguzzi]

Heineken, Guinness Extra Stout, Old Speckled Hen and when I'm over that way, Sunday River Black Bear Porter... there are a couple of local brew pubs that offer nice Halloween Ales and Pumpkin Ales but for the most part the former mentioned brews...  

For "Other" stuff I like Tanqueray and Fresca...  the occasional shot of Schnapps with a beer chaser....

Once in a great while a scotch and light water.... or on the the rocks...
That about covers it....  ::)

 ;D  ;D  ;D
Right "Free" beer is GREAT...mmm...got any?  ;D

[Wayne Orwig]

Whatever I have in my kegs in the basement.

[HDGoose]

Guinness...

[Mark West]

Once you've had a Guinnes at a good Pub in Dublin, nothing tastes as good ever again. Of course if you go to Cork, you'll say the same about Murphey's or in the North, Beamish. I occasionally buy Guinness and Murpheys in the pub draught cans here, but it is nothing like getting it fresh.

More often here I'll have Red Hook ESB or IPA. Sometimes Gordon Biersch Marzen. Any full bodied microbrew that I know hasn't been sitting on the shelf for the last year and a half.

Can't drink Bud, Miller, or any of the mass brews. I don't consider anything made with corn as beer.

[Jeff in Ohio]

When at the appropriate place:  Great Lakes Brewing Dortmunder Gold
When at the appropriate Mexican place:  Tecate.....  in a CAN

otherwise...

Champagne or Champagne Light.....

.

High Life for thise that are not familiar with the Champagne of beers

MGD light is good too.


Damn, you guys will spend good hard earned money on the expensive stuff, but won't spend $10 on an oil filter ;D

Now I knoe why you guys use JB weld, gotta save the cash for all those Stouts and Porters you buy.... ;D

[Wayne Orwig]

Mostly rice actually.

When I was in Dublin years back, I was amazed at the number of Bub light drinkers ::) Guiness brewing I believe licenses it. I think I settled on Kilkenny or some such. I need to go back and check it out.....

[VA Sean]

No -- life is just too damn short for cheap/nasty beer.  These days, anyway.
When I was younger, however, I'd put a 12 pack of Natty Light cans in my golf bag and drink my way around the golf course.  Didn't matter that the things got warm by the end of a 5 hours round.

[Jason Speaker]

Keep it simple Coors Light so I can save my money for MC parts or Keystone Ice if I need to save for a new bike.  Don't drink beer much except with a few friends now and then. 

[guzzibob]

Any of the amber or darker Gorden Biersch beers, under their name or Trader Joe's; Black Toad, Kronenbourg, Dos Eqquis Amber, Sam Adams. If I gotta drink something lighter, Pilsner Urquell, Grolsch, Bass.

And for their really great names as well as taste, Old Peculiar from Northern England or Scotland (doesn't seem to be available in the US anymore), Moose Drool from Montana/Wyoming.

Hey Jeff, I just saw a post on the CWBB from a "Jeff in Ohio" this morning (regarding the new Buell and regarding the MGS01). You?

Kev

but of course.....

The Buell guys attitudes remind me of those of a typical female engineering student.  anybody that has dealt with them would understand.   always feel like they have something to prove, even when they don't. it is a very tiring attitude....

Well, I cant get involved in this one!  You see my problem was anything with alcohol in it was fair game.  ALL THE TIME!!   Not no more though.  One day at a time!  :D

[ZEUS]

COLD!!

[octanemaniac]

Anything as long as its chased by Jack Daniels.

[phil]

Old Peculiar  (Theakston's) is canny but my favourites at the moment are Bishop's Finger( Shepherd Neame in kent and Fuller's ESB, i also brew my own woodforde's wherry (which is quite a dark bitter- or at least it is the way i make it) .

Moose Drool is an amazing name , not sure if it sounds too appetizing mind  :-\

Frank Smith's Ultra ;)
