The great thing is there are so many wonderful beers now, and it seems more every year. I just bought a 'vertical' 6-pack of aged J.W. Lee English ales, 11.5% alcohol. The ales are from 1998 through 2003, 1 bottle from each year, and the 6 pack only cost $50!? (It's my birthday present to self). I figure its about the equivalent of 3 $16 bottles of wine, and you only live once so what the hell.

Haven't even opened one yet, waiting for the actual B-day to arrive. But I'm sure I'll be enjoying myself when it does! ;D

I see someone is trying to start an oil thread. Do you recommend it for the hydraulic valve motors too?

Then only American beers we usually get in the UK are Bud and Coors. The result is that American beer is unjustifiably ridiculed in the UK. by most bikers.

A while ago I saw some "Sierra Nevada" in a supermarket, I had heard of it through the forums so I thought I would try some. I didn't expect much, but was pleasantly surprised, it is a good beer.
Not the best I have ever drunk but a hell of a long way from the worst, I would be happy to drink that all night.

alanp · « **Reply #312 on:** December 04, 2007, 10:46:34 AM »

Sierra Nevada is pretty widely available in the US, and is on tap at quite a few restaurants. It is one of my "standards", but I'm always trying something new. Sierra is a good example of a beer style called "California Ale", which is typically malty but with a lot more hops flavor and bitterness than most English beers. An acquired taste I suspect.

Hey, this thread is back. Yes! ;D Well, like I said before, my favorite is Tecate. Could it be the fond memories of the girlfriends I had in Tijuana and Mexicali back in the day? Quite possibly.

I live in the land of 3.2 beer. Strong beer can only be sold warm in a package store. My favorites are Bud Products, Tecate & Shiner Boch.

All the imports, and even Sam Adams taste like $hit here. If it's not fresh, it's not good, doesn't matter what the brand.

Hard to argue with that list. Drinking all of those is good work if you can get it. Definitely a few there I haven't had the pleasure of, but fortunately "few" is the operative word! ;D

Dude, beer that's been sitting warm is crap- any brand. Add time from the east coast or Europe and it's crapier crap. Bud is consistently the best, freshest beer you can buy here. And you won't find fresher beer anywhere in the USA short of a Brew Pub. In fact, I've never had a good bottle Heineken in my life- anywhere. I've had wonderful Sam Adams in the east, it's just terrible here (I bought a six pack last week and couldn't finish the first one).

MO, Fresh beer is better than most brand differences.

LowRyter · « **Reply #324 on:** July 08, 2008, 08:59:07 PM »

The Sam Adams Summer Brew was pretty good, it was the Boston Lauger that I was talking about.

Tecate is usualy pretty good here, and but for that, I can't stand canned beer.

So True -

another thing that kills beer is light. Beware clear bottles (or slow sellers) in the lit display cooler....

Current local favorite is Deschutes Twilight Ale :P

pebra · « **Reply #329 on:** July 09, 2008, 04:56:53 PM »

I strongly recommend tasting the three Rochefort beers at one setting, to make up your mind which is best.

They're darn good, I really don't know which I'd prefer ???
I used to prefer Duvel above any other beer I've tasted, now I'm not so certain anymore.

Note that the great Belgian beers should not be served too cold, about 10C / 50F seems to bring out the best in them.
