[silverwheels]

Newcastle Brown Ale
Boulevard Wheat
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale


Newcastle is the greatest.

[royalfan5]

I made a mistake when I originally posted. My top choice should have been free beer.

Im sorry, I meant to say I think those would be my favorites if I were legally able to drink. Which I am not. So, I really wouldnt know...

If I'm to be picky...

1. Corona (no, I'm not Messican)
2. (just about any) Sam Adams... I know, odd combination.

1. Guinness
2. New Belgium Trippel
3. Newcastle

[Boomer.....]

Pacifico
Boulevard Wheat
Bud Light

[jk the sooner fan]

Heineken
fat tire
any really cold domestic - bud light, etc

[OUDoc]

Slightly off topic-
Had my first Fat Tire last week. I just don't know. I never had a beer that tastes.........burnt. Until now. Maybe it's an acquired taste. I'll work on it. :)

[springs sooner]

Guinness
Paulener Hefewiesen
Black and Blonde- Guinness & Blue Moon, damn good.

and for all you Fat Tire lovers you should really come to Colorado and take the tour of the New Belgium brewery. Very cool.

[Mjcpr]

1. Boulevard Wheat with a large slice of lemon.
2. Blue Moon with equally large slice of orange.
3. Bud Light the official beer of Blanchard, Oklahoma.

I'm not usually one to try oddball beers, but I tried a Blue Moon while in Chicago recently and it was pretty good stuff. The real-life Irish bartender gave me a "tester" of Guiness......foul liquid.

I usually just drink Bud Light though.

[JohnnyMack]

I think Fat Tire is a turd of a beer. But that's just my opinion.

[jk the sooner fan]

how many of you beer snobs routinely drink these fancy beers you've listed? or do most of you have a stock of bud light in the fridge?

[JohnnyMack]

I'm a self-admitted beer snob.

Tonight's choice is a Green Flash Imperial IPA. Since I travel a lot, I pick up beers while I'm on the road, roll 'em up in dirty clothes and stick 'em in my suitcase and bring them home. I also do a lot of trading with other beer nerds from around the country to keep new stuff around.

But when I'm just drinkin' beer I like the bottles of Guinness Draft. And I'm just fine drinking Coors Light at a baseball game.

[Beef]

1. Modelo Especial
2. Red Stripe
3. Newcastle Brown

Now that I don't drink the quantity I used to, I actually do drink these beers. I tried that Shiner Kolsch this weekend. Not bad.

[Spray]

Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale
Newcastle
Pacifico

We keep Newcastle, Pacifico & Mich Ultra(for guests with unrefined palates like jk ;) ) in the fridge regularly. Samuel Smith's is about $10-12 a four pack around here so that's every now and then for me.

When I buy beer it's always Newcastle...when I go out to eat, I'll get a Guinness if they don't carry Newcastle. If I'm slumming it, I'll buy Molson.

i just dont get the love affair some have with guinnes

molson is good

sam adams of any kind taste like it was brewed thru a dirty gym sock

[Scott D]

Well in my case, generally speaking. I tend not to drink any more beer or alcohol after having a Guinness, so I know when I get one in a resturant I won't be overdoing it.

With Molson I think I kinda get lucky in that because of my proximity to Canada, we actually get the product from Canada and not the Molson brewed in US based breweries.

[SteelClip49]

anyone who disses Sam Adams beer does not know what good AMERICAN beer is.

Sam Adams is the best American beer ever.

BRING ON THE CHERRY WHEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JohnnyMack]

Sam Adams is a good choice in a chain restaurant.

[mikeelikee]

1) Newcastle Brown Ale (practically the only beer I purchase for home)
2) Guinness Stout
3) Dos Equis (Amber, with lime)

[royalfan5]

Sam Adams is a good choice in a chain restaurant. Would you say Sam Adams is the Applebee's of American beers? Because I would.

[Scott D]

probably because good and american beer being put in the same sentence is an oxymoron....not to be mistaken for oxmoron which is mongo. :D

sincerely,

[JohnnyMack]

Sounds about right.

The "Riblets" of beer in fact.

:D

[Mjcpr]

BRING ON THE CHERRY WHEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tried that one too. After the first drink, it's not that great.

[Mjcpr]

With Molson I think I kinda get lucky in that because of my proximity to Canada, we actually get the product from Canada and not the Molson brewed in US based breweries.

How is it brewed differently in the US?

[TheHumanAlphabet]

1. Lienenkugel Summer Wheat
2. Lienenkugel Berry Weiss
3. Leinenkugel Dark

[Scott D]

How is it brewed differently in the US?

coors brewery/distribution.

[royalfan5]

coors brewery/distribution.
It's all the same company now anyway.

[Mjcpr]

So how do they brew it differently here that it doesn't taste as good?

[Scott D]

yes, but mine is made in CANADA dammit...

besides, Molson is my slumming beer ;)

[Scott D]

So how do they brew it differently here that it doesn't taste as good?

it's enough that it's coors...I told you I'm a beer snob.

[QUOTE=FmrEmpOUathdept]what kind of beer is Fat Tire?

from the New Belgium website

Like the ageless delight of pedaling a bicycle, Fat Tire Amber Ale’s appeal is in its feat of balance: Toasty malt flavors (sorta like biscuits just pulled from the oven) coasting in equilibrium with crisp hoppiness. Delicious stability - in the world of sometimes-precarious beer flavors – is perhaps what prompted one consumer who wrote us to say, “this beer just makes you smile.”

Fat Tire’s depth of flavor, achieved with neither a disproportionate sway toward hops or malts, tandems well with a full spectrum of today’s engaging cuisines. Salmon, dry-aged cheeses, roasted chilies, omelets at midnight, sweet potato French fries and just about anything with grill marks or garlic are just a few of the edibles we like to partner up with our Amber Ale.

Fat Tire is so named for the bike trip Jeff took through Belgium that greatly inspired his homebrewing efforts.

[KC//CRIMSON]

I think Fat Tire is a turd of a beer. But that's just my opinion.


This coming from a guy who can stomach Coors Light, ladies and gentlemen.

[KC//CRIMSON]

I probably have more Bass and Tsing Tao in the fridge than I do food right now. I haven't drank a true domestic beer in years.

Pretty much the only time I drink mass produced domestic beer is when we go camping and I have to bring cans, and drink giant quantities. That and if somebody hands me a cold one, I'll drink it. Generally, if I'm going the weak or cheap beer route at home, it's almost always Messican.

[Harry Beanbag]

I'll agree with you on this one. Although they do have some varieties that I enjoy, they all have the same weird aftertaste.

[reevie]

Slightly off topic-

New Belgium "toasts" the hops before brewing. That's probably why it came across as burnt.

Like Starbucks burns the beans before brewing their coffee.

[KC//CRIMSON]

[1stTimeCaller]

My fridge is generally full of Miller Lite. I really really really like all of Leinenkugel's (sp) beers. I like all of the offerings from the folks that make Fat Tire. I think the 1884 may be my favorite. I like all of Boulevard's stuff, their Pale Ale may be my favorite.

About the only beer that I don't really care for is Coors Light and anything that has a fruit in it's name. Not a big Corona, Tecate or Dos Equis guy either.

Then again, I drink a lot of beer so my three favorites are in this order;
1) free
2) cold
3) in my hand

There's a time and place for just about every beer. If you've been mowing the lawn, coming in for a stout isn't my idea of a good match. If you're going to drink a few dozen beers in one sitting I don't recommend the stout then either.

oh, Blue Moon is made by Coors in case you didn't know that.

[olevetonahill]

I have 3 cases of Natty , so Yall are dead to me :mad:

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

how many of you beer snobs routinely drink these fancy beers you've listed? or do most of you have a stock of bud light in the fridge?I just hosted a baby shower and was in charge of bringing beer. Therefore, the beers in my fridge currently:
Dos XX
Negra Modelo
Shiner
Nutcracker Brown Ale (left from Christmas)
a few Rolling Rocks
Leinenkugels Berry Weiss

Apparently, I need to try some of this Boulevard stuff, lots of you guys mentioning it. I never seen it so I don't think it's available out here.

As far as lawnmower beer or 116 degree weather beer out here, my current favorite is New Belgium's Skinny Dip brew. It's light and refreshing yet still tastes like pretty good beer. Sam Adams Spring Ale used to be pretty decent on a sweltering day, but I'm not sure they make it anymore, haven't been able to find it the last couple of years. As much as I love Guinness, or other stouts, they are reserved for the winter months only in Arizona.

[SteelClip49]

I'll agree with you on this one. Although they do have some varieties that I enjoy, they all have the same weird aftertaste.

The aftertaste is what makes it real, quality beer. My Air Force buddy in Germany told me that.

[SteelClip49]

My grandpappy tells me STROH'S and STERLING are good choices. What do you all think?

[OUHOMER]

BUD
SHINER BOCK
BUD LITE

[TUSooner]

If I could have any beer I wanted right now:
John Courage Directer (draft only, because I'd be in England))
Boulevard Pale Ale (if I could get it here)
Abita Strawberry Harvest (if it were in season)

That could all easily change in a few minutes, and I'll gladly drink a Miller Lite this instant if you have one.

[TMcGee86]

Fat Tire Sunshine Wheat is teh win after mowing.

Tastes like summer in a bowl.

I jest. That's a nice recommendation. Too bad I can't get Fat Tire (or Boulevard) in the Big Sleazy. :(

[King Crimson]

Belhaven's Best (in Scotland)
Tie: I like Fuller's ESB/Murphy's Irish Stout
usually, as a concession to price i buy Red Hook ESB or whatever Spaten or Paulaner is on sale.**

the New Belgium 1554, 1884 whatever black beer is good....but you need to let it warm up some.

*my local place has a nice, nice selection of German imports in the .75 liter individual bottles, some of those are outstanding and worth a "treat" now and then since the price is kinda steep.

[1stTimeCaller]

it might be 1554. Either way, we're talking about the same beer. You're right on the temp. Not much flavor when it's ice cold.

[BigRedJed]

My top five (the order can change based on my mood and the environment -- type of place, type of food if I'm eating, temperature outside or in, etc.):

Stella Artois
Fat Tire Amber Ale
Harp Lager
Negra Modelo
Red Stripe (not necessarily a great beer, but refreshing and drinking out of that little bottle makes me feel carefree)

[TMcGee86]

Arf ?
