American Pale Ale

[delhalew]

We are good at taking things and making them our own. The APA is no exception. This beer is light and crisp enough to steer a BudMillerCoors drinker into a new world.

Today we can thank Sierra Nevada and Samuel Adams for spear heading a beer revolution in this country. Now we have micro breweries around the country putting quality above quantity.

Thank you, American Pale Ale.

with the exception of a few microbreweries, america is still centuries behind europe when it comes to beer. look no further than the current IPA rage as a gateway beer. mouthfull of straw with random dogs on the label. whatever... i do applaud the effort though.

[delhalew]

One of these was my first craft brew. I don't remember which I had em all about the same time.

If you don't know from the other threads, I agree mostly. Baby steps. We have come a long way. Evidenced by the fact that our craft brewers have brought back styles that were well and truly dead. I'd list them, but it's a long assed list. Maybe later.

While I despise Sierra Nevada and Sam Adams is mediocre at best, American Pale Ale is my favorite style of beer.

And the best beer on earth is made in America. Outside of Belgium and Britain, European beer sucks pretty hard IMO.

They're not even really in the discussion are they? I've had a few from Asia and Australia that were good enough to consume large quantities of, but they would be comparable to an American macro brew, not "good".

[Harry Beanbag]

Currently, these are my favorite American Pale Ales. This sounds pretty gay, but I like them a little more on the fruity side.

Anchor Steam's flagship is kind of a hybrid beer - it uses lager yeast but ferments at ale temperature. Anchor tastes like a hybrid too, it's lighter than many ales but has much more flavor than the typical lager. Anchor is less hoppy than a Pale Ale too.

Take a tour of the Anchor Steam Brewery if you ever visit San Francisco. The people are great and the tour was a lot of fun (and you get generous samples!).

Speakeasy is a very good brewery too. Wish they shipped from SF to Okla.

The lines do get blurry. I was going to include Rogues Dead guy Ale in the conversion, then I realized, Dead Guy is a Maibock/Hellisbock that uses an Ale yeast.

Yep. And I think those folks who talk about superior beer styles are pretentious. A beer lover usually loves all the styles to some degree (but may have preferences). I get in the mood for different styles all the time and in different seasons. Hell, I'll even enjoy an occasional Miller Lite after mowing the lawn on a hot day.

Negra Modelo is a dark lager. It is very good in my opinion and one of my favorite brews to drink in hot weather. Modelo is not a heavy beer, I prefer the dark over the "regular" as it has a more malty flavor.

I don't drink much or often, but once a month I'll have a beer, and I like dark lagers. NM has been the best I've tried so far. I tried a dark Sam Adams once, and didn't like it much.


If any of you are in Norman, go to Tarahumaras and ask for a NM in a glass......just perfect

Yeah, out here it is really freaking hot 5 or 6 months a year and I drink a lot so I usually stick with the ales. Camping trips are all about PBR. When it does cool off I love stouts. There is a different beer for different occasions.

I'll give it best Mexican beer. That's all I can do. For me Porters, Russian Imperial Stouts, or a Wee Heavy are the best dark beers...I almost forgot about Newcastle on draught, not skunked all to hell from being in a clear bottle.

That's one of the failing points of most European beers, clear or green bottles. Pilsner Urquell is really good out of a keg, out of a green bottle it is skunk heaven.

As it usually goes, Moose Drool is their flagship and most advertised and available, but they have at least three others that are better IMO: IPA, Scapegoat, and Troutslayer. There was another one that I've tried, but can't remember the name.

Every beer I've had from Big Sky has been solid. But the local beer stores are too proud to sell a 6 pack for less than $11 - $12 most of the time. Great Divide is another fantastic brewery but their beers are priced even higher where I live.

Start bold. Quit screwing around with whittling your way darker and darker and get your hands on a schwarzbier, AKA black lager. Kostritzer from the fields and fauna of Thuringia is a fairly commercialized but amazing example.

http://justbeer.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/kostritzer-glass.jpg

Should be able to find it in Oklahoma liquor stores. It's german and it's amazing, no matter what that knuckle dragging beer heathen Harry says.

Work your way brighter from there. Whoever mentioned a dunkel made a good suggestion but don't confuse a dunkel with a Dunkelweizen (dark wheat). Two different animals. Paulaner makes a bad *** dunkel as does Spaten. Pretty much if it's a Munchen brew, they should have a serviceable dunkel in the stable.

I've got hoards of hopheads across the nation with pitchforks at the ready. I am on record that an IPA should be a nice balanced beer that is otherwise hop forward and maybe dry hopped. English style. Americans are ****ing it up.

Miller Lite is absolutely horrid. It is on the list of beers I just will not drink along with Bud Light and Coors Light. Although any of them are preferable to wine, if I have no other choice.

Believe it or not, just because Troll Limit said so, I am not a novice at drinking good beers. :) I've had a few dunkels, we actually got our local grocery store to start carrying Warsteiner Dunkel for us. The first time they screwed up and got the Verum, which isn't nearly as good.

I'm not a big hefe or light lager fan either. Once you go dark...

I am by no means a beer snob, I just like them ice cold. Never had a beer from a tap that wasnt at least drinkable, but the same beer out of a bottle can be downright horrible. Sam Adams is a great example of that to my taste buds. So is miller lite and bud light. Put any of those in a frozen mug out of a keg and I drink it all night. Give it to me in a bottle and I cant even force it down.

You don't even make any sense. You posted right after me, and you didn't quote anyone else. Let there be no confusion. I am talking to you. You have nothing to offer. You bring nothing to the conversation.

You could come back. You could join in now. I'll be holding my breath with the other terrorists.:D

2/10 on your backpeddling attempt.

My post was directed at beer snobs, so if you want to end the confusion just state for the record if you are a beer snob or not. Don't forget you already claimed in your first emotional outburst towards me that you dont care what other people (me) drink. Be careful, **** stick, because either way you answer you are going to contradict yourself.

I'm a beer snob, in that I care very much what I'm drinking.

As for what you're drinking, man, like, whatever.
