Skip Jack is a pretty good Amber Lager my local bar just started carrying on tap. I've been known to drink obscene amounts of bud light in a sitting ( think in terms of a couple of gallons) but I've outgrown that a little. If I'm just out having a good time, I'll grab a blue moon and shoot Stoli at room temp.
Light beer, which I drink most of the time = Smithwicks Irish Ale....yum. Occasionally I will have a newcastle brown or boddingtons if the restraunt doesn't have smithwicks or guiness.
When I want something I can reall chew on = Guiness
Oh and if you want to get trashed on beer quickly and it's damn good beer try Chimay Gran Reserve.
I'll second the Chimay. That crap will get you f%&ked up.

OMG a Canadian that like Labbat!!!!!!! O NOZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

american beer is swill
Sam Adams isn't half bad, Blue Moon is American, Flying Dog makes some damn good brews..........All American.
But yeah, Bud, Bud light, Nasty Light, PBR all that shaZam! is pure......well.....shaZam!.
Shiner Hefeweizen. That was what werase complained I took the 6 pack after leaving him only 3 (which I bet is still sitting there in his fridge - that clown does not drink ...)
Or Leinenkugel hefeweizen, or Pyramid Hefe or Shock Top (man that is one awesome beer).
Cool.

I'll drink anything but Busch,Bud,Pabst or Strohs. Yuengling is a Pretty good Beer.I think I'll try some Cottonwood as soon as I find some.The Local Beer Store is Carrying something called Mountaineer I think I may try a 6 Pack of that tomorrow.
Oh yeah Light Beer is Like Screwing in a Canoe.
but it IS kinda fun to screw in a canoe :icon_twisted: , no matter what, someone is getting wet

PBR for the win.
After that I go for Sweetwater Donkey Punch, Sweetwater 420, Newcastle Brown, and did I say PBR.
charrington toby FTW, man i loved that stuff when i was in canada. but i f%$king cannot find it around here
Of late I've been drinking a Belgian style triple that I brewed. BTW Guinness is OK but Samuel Smith makes a MUCH better stout.

I had a draught boddington's with dinner of fish and chips tonight at a local 'british' pub. Just f%$king excellent.......all of it.
You need to try a smithwicks irish ale Terry, not quite as creamy as the boddingtons and has a slightly hoppier taste to it. Goes excellent with fish and chips as well.
What kind of fish BTW? The local grocery down the street occasionally has pollack which is damned excellent for fish and chips.
The First 6 Pack of Mountaineer wasn't too bad.By the time I got to the 3rd 6 Pack a Few days Later it made me stop Drinking. :icon_confused: Had to get started back on Yuengling this Evening.
The Refreshments at the Local AA Meetings should be Mountaineer. :laugh: :laugh:

I'll try the smithwicks next, I remember seeing it on their list. The fish was fresh cod, absolutely excellent, one of the benefits of living by the beach you can always get fresh fish. :thumb:
Yeah cods pretty good another traditional fish for fish and chips. We don't eat out much so I just cook stuff like that at home.
Let me know how you like the smithwicks.
Will do. It'll be next friday before I go back. Friday they have fish and chips as their special because the boats come back in friday AM so they have the freshest fish at that point.

Been drinking Yuengling Black & Tan for a while now, never gotten tired of it.
Can't go wrong with regular Yuengling if you like lagers, about any IPA, and I catch a lot of sh!t for it, but Iron City Light when I'm within range of the 'burgh :laugh:

The best beer you will ever taste is the one that you brewed yourself. I have a special recipe that I call 'Liquid Stoopid'. Its a nice, dark red ale at about 7%abv with a strong smokey note, oodles of malt and a nice high-acid hop to balance it out... think Sam Adam's Scotch ale, but easy on the spice note... yum.
off the rack, Red Hook ESB, DogFishHead 60 or 90 minute IPA, or maybe even a Sierra Nevada Bigfoot barelywine in the winter.
My gold medals are distributed as follows:
- party swill: Miller Lite
- with a cigar: Westmalle Trappist (double is best, IMO)
- as a single, RedHook ESB (cool day), Radebeger Pilsner (warm day)
- mass-produced domestic swill: Michelob
- from the emerald isle: Harp Lager (most under-rated of the Guinness brews)
- worst idea for a beer ever: Hefeweizen (cloves? REALLY? blech)

Which hefeweizen has cloves. there is a 100 types of it. In fact Blue moon is one type of hefe.
Hefe means yeast, weizen means wheat and its best unfiltered with a nice sediment.
They have stuff with lemon and cilantro, and some of them have honey, and ofcourse apricot and raspberry ... I am yet to see one with cloves.
BTW hefe is supposed to be drunk by pouring into a glass, stopping with 2-3 Oz in the bottom, stirring ip up to get the sediment all up and then pour into glass. Sediment is supposed to be roused and drunk. Good stuff that.
Top fermenting ones like blue moon dont have a sediment but are cloudy, bottom fermenting ones like shiner hefeweizen are clear but have a thick sediment. All are good, just that shiner typically embodies the best of the lot.
Cool.

I think he means the Clove-like smell produced by the esters from the yeast, not actual cloves in the beer. And Blue Moon is a type of Wit.
Yea blue moon is white wheat and almost entirely fermented by top fermenting yeast. Cloudy and no sediment.
I prefer the brown wheat and bottom fermenting ones though. Blue moon is great though, in the absense of the dark/bottom I'll take Bluemoon. God beer ... mmmm beer ...
Cool.

yes. hefs aren't brewed with actual cloves, but they have a very distinct clove note to them which I find unpleasant. Some people love wheat beers.... I'm just not one of them.
Oh ... OK. They do put all sorts of weird stuff in them, like shock top has coriander, and some others have orange peel ... thankfully, I dont taste any of it. Raspberry and lemon or orange and honey are all I taste.
Cool.

Blue Moon is the shaZam!! :thumb: Wish I could have found some of the Pumpkin Flavored back in the Fall.
Pumpkin huh ...
I dunno, I just like the regular hefeweizen's. Anyway, Bluemoon is a little on the clean and clear side for me. I prefer the bottom fermenting ones. Pyramid, shiner, purple haze etc are all good ones IMHO.
Cool.

My handle is actually a reference to my usual IM name "UltimateBeerSnob." I usually drink some stuff that most other people don't find all that appealing. For the most part, I really can't stand most mass produced beers. I like many different styles, but it has to have some flavor and sometimes a little intensity is good too. Wheat beers are great for summer months, and they're about as light as I go, but I'm also a big fan of stouts, porters, IPA's (especially double IPA's), brown ales, etc. Most microbrewers have something I can enjoy, but here are a few of my favorites in no particular order:
Bell's
Stoudt's
Rogue
Stone
Dogfish Head
Three Floyd's
Victory
New Glarus
Lagunitas
Great Lakes
Founder's
...honestly, I could go on for quite a while... :cheers:

Now that's one out of the "extreme" category that i've been unable to convince myself to spend the cash on. Spending $8-10 for a bottle of Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA or Dogfish Head Worldwide Stout is just about as far as I've gone. Those are both pretty amazing beers--though definitely not everyday beers. I'm most definitely willing to
try the Utopias, but someone else is going to have to
buy it. What's it run? Near $125 per bottle.
Oh, and I don't care how cool the bottle looks either. :icon_mrgreen: I actually know someone who actually bought a bottle of that stuff...and never opened it. He has no intentions of doing so either. Believe you me, if I spend that kind of cash on a beer, I WILL know what it tastes like!
Rock on. :cheers:
I thought it was like $80 a bottle..........either way, I'll spend that kind of money on enough beer to get a buzz goin :icon_rolleyes:
i'm not finding Utopias on sam adams webpage. :dunno_white:
nevermind. i found a news article. apparently it's like a once in awhile every so often release a few thousand bottles kinda brew. am i wrong? :dunno_white:

I guess you found it, but here are a couple more links.
The latter has some indication of retail price and production numbers.
Check Ebay though, some of last years stuff seems to be going for ridiculously high prices.

Spec's ??? they stock it, 24's were available, but ironically in NC (1200+ miles away) shiner's stuff is cheaper than in TX. Though you can get shiner hefe at most walmarts. Most, not all, if the area is under 85% mexican, you'd get shiner hefe, if its over 85% mexican, forget it, its bud, miller etc for the poor mexicans and corona/tecate for the rich mexicans.

I'm a guinness man. My love for it is so bad that I walk into McNulty's, one of the busier bars in east cleveland and The bartenders know me by name, have a pitcher ready before I get to them and "forget" to charge me for pitcher two or three fairly often. A few weeks ago they couldn't find my card when closing my tab, apparently I had been moved to the VIP pile. I'm pretty certain the next step up the ladder from VIP is AA....
In all honesty I'll drink nearly anything. Natty, Busch, Miller, Bud (or Bud Light), PBR etc almost exclusively when its free. Otherwise Smithwicks, New Castle, Guinness, etc. The harder it is to see through it the better.
Anyone ever had Bell's Java Stout. Its a stout brewed with coffee - a lot like buzz beer from the Drew Carrey show. If sex tasted as good as that stuff I'd start paying for it too.
My beer of choice, Natural Light. :cheers:

Bell's is one of my favorite brewers, and yes I have had the Java Stout. I think my favorite from them is the Double Cream Stout though. Basically, it's one of those beers that I feel I have to buy everytime I find it.

Actually I really don't much like Sam Adams at all :dunno_white: They had one beer I tried at a restraunt was thick and heavy tasted like a yeasty bread, that was the only one of theirs I have had that I enjoyed.
We had a room mate for a while when my wife was in college that was the ostentatious type who thought anything more expensive had to be better.
She didn't like me because I thought she was an irritating snob, I would blend up maragaritas then not offer her one since I used cheap tequila for margarita's, all I heard one time was how this and that was better tequila. It was a margarita for petes sake.

IMO, no beer is worth Sam's limited editions. I don't care how good it is. I've had an aged SA Triple Bock and it was good but I've had better cheaper. Their gimmicks and part of the sex appeal is the price. I know that going into it so it doesn't bother. How many people can say they've had Utopia? :cheers:
