Visited SFO last October, tried all the beers but Sierra Nevada did it for me, Molsons are great when I visit Canada, must say after 6 or more didn't have any after effects next day. Maybe the lack of preservatives helps. Just put down a apple cider home brew. 68 stubbies. After about 2 weeks they were superb. Next may try a pale ale.

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.

:)

Rocker .......... Canadian Club

Me being Canadian may I suggest a premium Canadian blend.. Gibsons Finest perhaps ... Let me know if that works as it used to be my weapon of choice.

Cheers.

21st Amendment Toaster Pastry. Wow. Tastes nothing like the name, which is a tribute to the former use of the factory where the beer is made.

Not sure the last time I drank a beer. Last year sometime? If memory serves it was one of those summer beers with lemon in it, at Applebees. Wasn't bad.

Our new hometown of Asheville NC is a beer capital apparently. Green Man ESB is wicked good.

There's clearly some expert palates on board and I appreciate all the recommendations.

I've found in my 20 odd years of beer drinking that my favorites are most often the result of the event around which they are consumed and not the choice of beer itself.

Example 1) Fat Tire. Solid brew. I like it. Now take a 15 mile hike and stumble into a treeline chalet with Fat Tire on tap and that stuff is about as good a beer as is possible.

Example 2) great friends, a good meal, and a decent lager (I think it's a lager anyhow) called Fisher from France. I can't find it anywhere in the states but holy moly was it ahmazing that particular evening.

Example 3) Festival in Martinique or maybe Guadeloupe? It's a bit blurry. We drank a beer called Kubuli from Dominica. I'm fairly certain that there's lighter fluid and sawdust in it...but that night it was perfect.

Took a trip to the OBX a few weeks ago. We always stay in the 4x4 only section and we have to haul in/out garbage, so I decided I'd try and limit our beer to canned products only (which can be crushed and take up less space).

I actually managed to limit it to not only canned beers, but only from North Carolina Microbreweries!

Found some excellent beers from the likes of Wheeping Raddish, Aviator, and Mystery!

I see where InBev recently bought Devil's Backbone out of VA. I've enjoyed several of their offerings as they tend to make more lagers. That will blow up their capacity and I hope they keep making more of those less mainstream offerings.

I've been on an anti-hop kick for about a year now. Don't get me wrong I love a good hopped up ale but for a while it seemed that everyone in the craft business wanted to just add more and more hops. I've had enough so now I drink porters, lagers, and wheaters mostly. I also like the fresh beers with limited ingredients and told Kim those were the "healthy beers." She knows it's just BS but lets me think I'm getting away with something.

WI only beer run...

Every time we go to Wisconsin to visit the Kid, we bootleg Wisconsin micros to Indiana. A cross roads in Wisconsin isn't an excuse to build a tavern, it's an excuse to build three taverns and a brewery.

That's concerning - another craft brewery under the Anheiser-Busch tent.
Devil's Backbone makes one of my favorite IPAs, Eight Point IPA. Hope their quality stays true.

I just can't drink an IPA, way too bitter.

I think hops is the ally of skunky.

When chemicals in hops are exposed to UV, skunkiness happens. Take any hoppy beer, put it in a clear glass, and place it in direct sunlight for five minutes. Skunky odor and flavor will be obvious.

I was told that folks at Heineken put their US export beer in green bottles because US customers expect Heineken to be skunky. I've seen their beer in bottles sold in Europe, and it was in brown bottles and cans.
