Favorite Beer

[Kevin]

What's your favorite beer(s)? I have 2:

Light beer = fat tire, can't get it in Oklahoma so it's kind of a rare treat.

Dark Beer = Spaten, Optimator

[aggieAXO]

My best friend drinks Fat Tire all of the time.

For me it is: SHINER BOCK-the best damn beer you will ever have!!!! I hate it when I have to drink anything else.

[Betarulz!]

Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat

[tridgirl]

sedona brewing copany Nut Brown
or
Belgium brewing comapany's Blue Paddle Pilsner

[chopper816]

i have to agree with beta! boulevard wheat is the bomb!!! :p

[SATX*APhi]

I love Dos Equis, a beer imported from Mexico.

Of course, gotta love Bud Light.

Shiner Bock is also really good!

[UofISigKap]

I was a loyal Bud Light girl through and through...but out here I discovered the wonderful beer, Yuengling (sp?), from Pennsylvania. Yum!

[pirate00]

Yuengling is good!!! A brother of mine turned me on to it a while back. I also love Guiness, Honey Brown Ale, Molson, and Dos Equis

[SSS1365]

I'm so plain... I just like Miller Lite. But I haven't tried all those other kinds...

[dzsaigirl]

Shiner Bock, Shiner Blonde, Rolling Rock

[ZTAngel]

Light Beer- Corona
Dark Beer- Amber Bock

[Star Turtle]

around here - it's bud light ~~ EVERYONE drinks it -

but for some reason i drink like the guys - i only drink budwieser (bottle only!) or labatt blue [no one drinks that here, i picked that up from my roomie from ny]

girls round here though (me too) we're stuck on smirnoff, blue, silver, zima - such like that

[DeltAlum]

Years ago in college we used to say,

"Cold pizza and warm Rolling Rock, breakfast of champions."

I still like the stuff in the green and white bottles from the vats of old Latrobe.

[Kevlar281]

Light Beer: Shiner Blonde (http://www.shiner.com/problon.html)
Dark Beer: Shiner Bock (http://www.shiner.com/probock.html)


Yes those are links. :)

Is it ghetto that my absolute fave is Corona? Come on, I grew up in San Diego and learned how to drink in Mexico, it's only to be expected right? Although once a long time ago, in an effort to get an SAE at SDSU to remember my name, I explained that it sounded just like Corona, and now to this day I am remembered that way! That's just what I get I guess. I had a teacher in high school who always called me Corona also, which was mortifying at the time. There's just no way to beat a Corona and lime...although I do like the little girly bottle, Coronitas...those are cute!

I do not like Corona. To me, it tastes like dirt. :eek:

[stillwater15]

when i can get my hands on it, i prefer red stripe or carib. if either of those aren't available, it's heineken or corona.

[GreekLetterGirl]

I love love love Miller Lite and Honey Brown my two favorites !!!

[Dionysus]

Kolt 45 :D

[Parsifal]

I have no favorite beer. It all tastes bad to me.

[chscrew144]

the best beer in the world is free beer.... why? because it's free!

the beer i;d most likely bee ris either creemore or guinness

[h2oot]

Corona with a twist of lime.

Heiniken draft in a frozen mug.

[TaraHopeful]

i have only had 4 kinds of beer and i only like one out of the three and it was Bud Ice. I do have fave malt drinks though. I love Sky Blue and Smirnoff Ice.

I love Bud Ice too!:cool:

[KSigkid]

Hmmm, favorite beer....

I'd have to go with Guinness, I can drink that stuff all day. How ever, Harpoon UFO and Newcastle Brown Ale are up there too, as well as Sierra Nevada Summer Ale.

Collin

[Optimist Prime]

Three words for my favorite
Miller
Genuine
Draft.


Word. Not maybe the best, but is my favorite American. AFter october 8th of this year it might change though, as will be earning my mug. Word.

[aephi alum]

Harpoon IPA. No question.

A couple of days after my 21st (which was on Thanksgiving :( ) my boyfriend (now husband) took me to a bar in Boston that has 110 beers on tap. He offered to buy me a yard of any beer I wanted. So I got a few of those 5-oz samples, and eventually decided on a yard of Harpoon IPA. (Now you know why I married the guy. :D )

My other fave is a black and tan - Guinness and Bass. A half-yard or a yard of Guinness and Bass is quite an impressive sight. :)

[Optimist Prime]

What is a yard? or half yard?

[SigmaChiCard]

There is nothing better than Blue Moon with an Orange
next would have to be Granny Smith Woodchuck

Chimay is a really good beer, as is Grolsch (though most people HATE both, I love them!

[Corbin Dallas]

cold beer is my favorite, as is free beer.

usually i drink bud light, bought 46 pitchers last night for me and my buds to celebrate having a job. it's a bit of a tradition.

when i want high class beer, i go for newcastle, killian's, amberbock...stuff like that.

when i want low class, nothing but the best milwaukee's best light. i've had some swill though, pig's eye lean (has chunks of barley), old style, old german, american, pabst extra light, brigade, hard gauge, old frothingslosh, iron city, hamms...and the list goes on

[xok85xo]

i'm not a huge beer fan, but if i am in the mood, it's corona w/lime or blue moon(if they have it)

if i'm hanging out w/friends at coaches(sports bar) and we're ordering pitchers i prefer coors light

[DeltAlum]

OP

A yard is generally 3 feet. Or 36 inches, whichever comes first.

Just kidding.

A yard of beer is a three foot deep glass of beer, believe it or not. It is generally about as wide as a normal glass at the top and tapers as it goes toward the base. I don't know how many ounces is in it. It's pretty interesting trying to drink from that kind of container -- especially when it's getting empty. You tip it very carefully, and the beer always tries to all come out at once. If you're not careful, you end up wearing more beer than you drink.

A half a yard is a half of a yard. Duh!

[lilsnakeyk]

There is a restaurant here in Long Beach called the Yardhouse, with an outrageous number of beers on tap. Very cool place to go.

Here are my favorites:

Red Stripe
Black and Tan (Guiness and Bass)
And anything by Sierra Nevada

[UKAXO]

The only beer I will consider drinking is Belgian fruit beer ("lambic") - favorite flavors are banana, pineapple, and strawberry. I know they sound disgusting but - try 'em before you knock 'em! The other one is a Dutch beer which has coriander in it - I forget the name...

My favorite drink is real cider from England and also France - REAL cider that actually tastes of apples, not the artificially sweetened junk from Woodchuck or Strongbow - yuck! If anybody gets the chance to sample the real thing while visiting England - I highly recommend it.

Also real perry - like cider, but made from pear juice. The real stuff made by the smaller companies here in England is just sooooo gooooood.....

[KABillyMac]

I guess all of you know this by now, since it composes about 92% of my conversations on here, but my favorite beer is Miller High Life. The champaign of beers for me. Nothing but the best.

I dont really get into the whole import thing, I dont know why but its like the diffrence between scotch and bourbon to me. I hate scotch and love bourbon, even though I know they are very similar. I guess its the same for imports and domestics with me. Anyway, a friend of mine bought me a case of a import beer called "Arrogant Bastard" for my birthday. I guess he did it as a joke, and it was some pretty high dollar stuff. I drank the whole case last week and I must say that I kinda liked it. I also got a six pack of "Speckled Hen" for my bday too, but I wasnt as impressed.

Speaking of yards of beer. We call em whale bones. Dont you hate it when you get down to about half of the yard and when you turn it up it starts making that clicking sound. I swear everytime I hear that I wanna throw the class down, break it open, and try to find that little damn gremlin that gives me dilusions of ball bearings in the bottom of my cup. Little bastard.

[RockChalk]

Guinness. All other beers pale in comparison.

[ladyj39]

Let's see.. I prefer Red Hook ESB, Anchor Steam, Hefewisen (sp?)or Corona, but I'll try anything once and I'll drink whatever kind of beer is available!

[Bro2B]

FYI, Arrogant Bastard Ale isn't an import-it's made in San Marcos, CA by Stone Brewing Co. (they have a great IPA too). It's probably one of the best beers I've ever had, and my favorite too.

[KABillyMac]

Bro, suggestion noted. It my narrow minded little world, a import is anything made by a company other than anheiser busch, miller, coors, or the like. I should have taken more time to read the box, but after the first few lines I read, it was taunting me to drink it so I drank till I was belly up. But thanks anyway.

[Optimist Prime]

Thanks Delt.

[LXAAlum]

Fat Tire!!!! I live 40 minutes from the New Belgium Brewery...free tours and free beer samples!!!!!!!

[chscrew144]

for those that like guinness... Amsterdam stout tastes a lot like Guinness but not as expensive or filling..

And for all that like beer, you guys should try Rickard's Red or Creemore... two more good Canadian beers. Rickard's is made by Molson and i believe Creemore is independent.

[aephi alum]

DeltAlum has it mostly right, but 2 half-yards is more beer than 1 yard.

Both a yard glass and a half-yard glass have a large bulb at the bottom, a flared top, and a tube about 2 inches in diameter connecting them. Each sits in a wooden stand - a yard stand has to rest on the floor, while a half-yard can rest on a table. A yard is 3 feet long from top to bottom, a half-yard is 1.5 feet long. (hence the name) A yard holds about 60 oz worth of beer, a half-yard holds maybe 36 oz.

If you want to see something impressive, get a yard of Guinness. I've seen summer storms that don't look that bad. :D

[APhiRattlerGal]

Corona

Dos Equis

Bud Ice

[bucutie02]

I dont like beer. Many people say it is an aquired taste. I dont know if thats true or not, but either way im not going to keep on drinking it to find out!

beer is yucky! :p

[Kevin]

I dont like beer. Many people say it is an aquired taste. I dont know if thats true or not, but either way im not going to keep on drinking it to find out!

People often say that when their first experience with beer came from a white can with red letters saying "Beer" scrolling accross the front...

Seriously, try some of the stuff we're talking about in this thread, it's actually good... You just have to be open to the goodness. I'll give it that.

(and if I can ever convince my girlfriend of that fact then I've truly got a gift)

[lifesaver]

People who dont like the taste of beer - I suggest starting with really light ones, coors light, etc.

You'll get used to it. As I tell all the freshman grils who come to our parties and start "requesting" non-beers, i.e., wine coolers, smirnoff ice, etc: "Yeah, we'll go to the store and get you soemthing special this time, but a piece of advice to take from the senior girls, learn to drink beer. Because by February, both your cute and newness will have worn off and the brothers wont cater to your whims anymore. Sure most junior/senior gals prefer a nice mixed drink or glass of wine, they will gladly drink a beer if they are at a party and thats all thats available. They wont leave to get their own wine cooler, 'cause they dont wanna miss something.


Here of late - I have been on a Dos Equis kick. Then I go back to Ziegenbock, or Shinerbock.

[chscrew144]

Gaiio and Mossa are also acceptable.

Never more true words spoken. I love junior/senior girls. They are so much easier to please and laid back. I bet every senior I know will gladly throw back a case of natty with you if you had to pay rent that week or something, and never think twice about it. The incoming freshman hit campus in september, and after rush and the like they are usually ready to throw down about the middle of the month. THey are real easy to spot at parties. THey walk in, pound 2 wine coolers, a smirnoff ice, and anything else they can stuff in their purse, then they lock themselves in a bathroom profusely throwing up. INCOMING FRESHMAN: let this be a lesson to you. Dont be like the rest of the girls that your gonna go through rush with and what not. When you hit your first fraternity party, walk up to a guy and ask him if he has any PBR, Natty, or Beast in the fridge that you could possibly have.

[Optimist Prime]

Keystone Light is a good first beer. Its how I got my room mate to like it!

[AOX81]

I'm not a big fan of beer. After I have a few other alcoholic beverages I can usually put back a few Miller Lites. Beer is an acquired taste and I just never acquired it...damn. It would have been a lot cheaper than buying shots and girly drinks all through my college years.

I don't really know if Woodchuck is considered beer or not but I love that stuff! Granny Smith is the best!

This is soo true. I am a senior and I like the girly beers like Smirnoff Ice, Wine Coolers, Skyy Blue, and Zima Citrus, BUT if it comes down to a bangin' party with only Budweiser, Michelob, or Colt 45 like Dyonysus mentioned, I can throw down with the best of them!! :D

Man, if a girl came in and asked for one of those beers, I might have to marry her right on the spot.

Also, I just had a couple of Saranac Pilsners last night - one of the better beers I've had in a long time. Kinda on a par with Harpoon UFO. Solid beer altogether, and only 5 bucks for a 6 pack at the place right down the street from my apartment.

Alright, here we go.

first of all, to whoever posted about "Arrogant Bastard Ale", i tried it for the first time this last weekend. Definately not my favorite.

Bud Ice?? Why don't you just slam your head with a car door and go straight to the feeling you'll have the morning after. ewwww

ok, now, Kitso's beers:

Light beer: Coors Light, it's my goal to help Coors overtake either Miller or Budweiser.

Dark beer: The one, the only Shiner Bock. If you've never had one, you need to get your butt to Texas to have one.

Import: Modelo. I drank the HELL outta those in Laredo at our formal last year.

Something else i thought of when reading this thread, Texas music fans, sing it with me

"...Lone Star beer in my cereal is KEEPING me alive!!"

Kitso
KS 361 Shiners Kitso and SATX are gonna split at Chilifest :D

[KSig RC]

Hmmm . . . beers . . .

Shitty: PBR (word)

Sorta shitty: MGD ---> the name of my band, we suck

Expensive: Newcastle

New England Style: Magic Hat #9

You've never heard of: Court Ave. Vanilla Ale


Seriously, I could talk about beer all freaking day - hopefully in a couple hours, i'll be able to contribute to the "drunk thread" (wednesdays, what)

I went to Old Chicago's a couple of weeks ago and they offer several mixes with Guinness: Woodchuck Cider, Light Beers, Dark Beers and also one mixed with Pyramid Apricot Ale. Out of curiousity we had to order one and it was really good. Who knew!

[Munchkin03]

No domestics for me. :)

Having lived in Italy for a time, I got used to Peroni and Moretti. A bit darker than the watered-down pee they serve at parties here. Sometimes you can find some classy folks who will serve Magic Hat and Blue Moon, but I end up usually bringing my own bottles. I like Chimay and Red Stripe a lot. I was much less discriminating my freshman year--I actually drank Schlitz and Genny Lite. Yikes. :eek:

Mr. Munchkin03 likes Guinness a lot, but I can't handle it. He also mixes his own black and tans.

But, I really don't do beer that much...I don't go to fraternity parties anymore, and the bars and parties that I DO attend usually have more options as to drinks. No one's buying the $8.99 24-pack much anymore.

[AlphaSigOU]

Can't drink domestic p*sswater anymore, ever since I spent time in Germany in the latter days of the Cold War and got used to German beer. Well... with the probable exception of probably Sam Adams, Shiner Bock and some microbrews.

Partial to the local brew of Bitburg and Spangdahlem air bases -- Bitburger Premium Pils. They've been brewing only one kind of beer since 1817, and that's their famous pilsener (though they now have a light and a non-alcoholic version as well).

Some other German beers worth checking out:

Warsteiner - Bitburger's competition, not as 'hoppy' as Bitburger.

Parkbrau 'Pirminator' - High-octane seasonal beer made in the city of Pirmasens near the French border. Word to the wise... this beer WILL f*ck you up. Not very well known outside its local area, but the legend of its potency survives by word of mouth of current and former US servicemen stationed in Germany. (I drank two 'mortar shells' (what we called the 1/2 liter bottles) and was completely blotto in no time. No wonder they call it the 'Terminator'! :D)

EKU 23 Doppelbock - Another high-octane brew, this is relatively easy to get in the States.

Dutch beers

If you like Heineken, the domestic version tastes a LOT better than the export version sold here. Amstel Light's not bad either.

Belgian

I'll go for many of the krieks and lambics (the fruit-flavored beers). Very good, and if you drink one too many, you'll find out real quick!

British ales and Irish stouts

My goodness, my Guinness! :D

Can't go wrong with a good pint of bitter. And a half-and-half works well for me too.

Right now, my favorites are Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Anchor Porter. Good stuff.

I think one of the best I've ever had is Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale. It's seasonal, and they've run out of it around here. If you ever see it anywhere, try it. It is AWESOME.

I'm also partial to ciders, Woodchuck being my favorite. The pear variety is very good. Lindeman's Framboise is amazing as well, as is Chimay, but only if served in the proper glass.

[RACooper]

Guiness, Smithwicks, Keiths India Pale Ale, Molson Export, Upper Canada Dark Ale, Rickards Honey Brown, 80/- (80 Shilling), Double Diamond, and Moosehead.

Alexander Keiths India Pale Ale is the beer of choice around here. If not that i drink, Molson Canadian, Labatt Blue, Moosehead, Molson Export, Sleemans Cream Ale or Steamwhistle. I once drank Keystone light, it tasted like water. I tend not to drink anything under 5% alc/vol.

Budweiser, gotta stand by the hometown product

[PSK480]

Canadian Teke: Living in Erie I listen to a radio station out of London, ONT and hear ads for India Pale and Sleemans. I'm not usually a fan of Ales but I heard these are pretty good. Can you only get them in the Eastern Side of Canada or are they nationawide beers?

As far as i know Sleemans is Nationwide. Keiths on the other hand i think is a more eastern beer, it's brewed in Halifax, Nova Scotia, i am not sure if it is availible out west.

no contest.

Not sure...but I'm pretty sure it's made in PA.

I've heard a lot about it, I'd really like to try a bottle, but I can't find it anywhere in Massachusetts or Connecticut.

[PSK480]

Yuengling is made in Pottsville, PA. They are known as being America's oldest Brewery. It's kinda a PA area thing from what I can gather. Although I've heard of it being stocked pretty far from here down into VA and SC.

hope this sheds some light on it.

I've heard a lot about it, I'd really like to try a bottle, but I can't find it anywhere in Massachusetts or Connecticut.

KSigkid, if you're still in Boston, check the Sunset Grill & Tap. If anyone has it, they do. I vaguely recall seeing it on their beer list, but their beer list is always changing...

Blasphemy :D

When I went there for my 21st, there were two women a couple of tables over, drinking Bud Light. There they were, beer drinker's heaven, 110 beers on tap, hundreds more in bottles, and they're drinking Bud Light. :rolleyes:

I second that...is yuengling a microbrew?

Nope, Yuengling is a brewed beer out of Pottsville, PA.
Here's a link to the brewery: http://www.yuengling.com/

Domestically--I'm a big fan of Yuengling and Rolling Rock (I guess its from me being a PA girl)
Imports-Bass Ale, Guiness, and Coronas.

Recommendation: Get a black and tan (Guinness and Bass or Guinness and Harp). They are very good, and in a yard or half-yard glass they are an impressive sight :)

I usually have a half-yard black and tan on the (rare :( ) occasion that I find myself in Boston.

i have had those before, just not at sunset... i'll have to get one there.. and if you are ever in boston and want to go we should have a "get-together". i live about a block from sunset.

I recently have come to like much darker beer, whereas I once turned in disgust...the evolution of a beer-drinker, I presume..not that I very frequently drink much these days...but Sam Smith Oatmeal Stout is brilliant, and I also had a Texas beer that may or may not have been mentioned by the 4 million Texans on here but it was called Old Bastard Ale, I think...and it was great as well. The story was funny too.

edited to add:

Has anyone ever tried Sol Beer? If you've ever seen Mexican Soccer, it's one of the big sponsors...it is the absolute worst beer every created. I think someone was trying to prove beer could taste worse than Corona does, and that person created Sol Beer. TERRIBLE!

Yuengling actually brews a black and tan

[tinydancer]

Oh, I am so boring - Coors Light.

I like Zima. I remember when it first came out, but wasn't available yet in Texas. The former Mr. tinydancer had made his annual pilgimage to the temple at Golden, CO, and bought some Zima back. A bunch of us were sitting around playing cards and drinking this Zima stuff. I thought "That was pretty good - I believe I'll have another!" After saying that several times, I stood up and fell flat on my ass. I just sat there on the floor and thought "WHAAAAT???" Really crept up on me!!!

I haven't seen that, but Saranac also has a very good black and tan. Still, nowhere near as visually impressive as a properly made black and tan with Guinness and either Bass or Harp.

mu_agd, I'll let you know next time I'm in Boston. :)

new castle!
heveweihsen (i can't spell it, but it's a german wheat beer and i drink it like iced tea.;) )

[sigmanuzk]

St. Pauli Girl
Groelsch(sp.)
NewCastle
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Gordon Biersch
Bud Light From a keg.
Corona or Sol with Lime and Salt.
Amstel Light (basically heiniken light)
Sam Adams Light (wooooo Hooooo!!!)

I also Like Strongbow hard Cider (tastes like beer) but I can't find it here.

I've had about every Samuel Smith beer and everyone of them has given me a stomachache.

[Tom Earp]

Well, the disguinshed list is long but hell when you are a Pro.

Coors Light, Golf Course. Oh, but of Course when it comes out of the corkscrew in the Filtration Room at the exact Temp. and the tax is not paid on it yet!

Mickeys Big Mouth, before they changed it, Like Dads home made Brew!!

Boulevard Honey Wheat Ale, Kansas Brewed!!!!!:)

Watneys, best Lager I found in England.

St. Pauli Girl, Becks, Heinekin, Hof Brau , but these beers must be consumed in Europa!:cool:

Sopporo, Asian aint half bad either.

A good malty beer is smoooth!!!!!



Hate:

Bitter hoppy beer, and beer that taste better with a damn lemon/lime wedge squeezed into it! The Mexicans dont drink that crap. They drink Texate and Dudwiper! T Good Dud, Well so-so what?
