Your favorite Brew?

[Nomo]

I have several favorites. New Glarus Spotted Cow, Grey's Oatmeal Stout, both regional micros, and the latest; Warsteiner, a German import.

Ha! RLA is a "tomato beer" drinker.....

 

[Buckeye_Nut]

I rotate brands. The norm is one of Heineken, Grolsch, or St. Paulis in that order, but on occasion, I'll drink a local micro.(Boulevard Pale Ale)

I gotta agree with sheep, kokanee is my favourite. But I can only drink 2-4 beer before I need something a little tastier. Then it is rye and coke for the rest of the night.

 

[pzaur]

Tanqueray and tonic with a hint of lime.
But, when I can't get that I stick with the local brew from Four Peaks Brewery.

8th St. Ale and McCarthy's Red (seasonal).

Actually, I'm enjoying an 8th right now...ahhhh...

Just about anything from Great Lakes Brewing Co. Thirsty Dog Brewing also has some excellent beers, as Goose Island. Sam Adams has some decent brews also, as do Anchor and Sierra Nevada. Shiner Bock isn't bad either.

Then there's Erdinger Weissbier. Mmmmm..... I really like wheat beers as long as they use the right yeast.

Other Brews

Pearl River Bridge (soy sauce). It is brewed, isn't it?

Nothing better than a nice lighter flavored American beer on a hot summer day after doing some yard work!!!

I can think of any number of things better than a Bud or Miller.

The American mass market beers are just not very good Pilsners. (Canada does a bit better at this...)

Maybe you should try a real Czech Pils? How about a Pilsner Urquell? A Budvar?

I first visited Venezuela about 6 years ago. Havana Club rum is available there, so I bought a bottle and got some Coke. Add a little bit of limon (lime) and kick back on the hammock underneath the palm trees.


Back in the '80s (I think it was the late '80s), Coca-Cola came out with "New Coke." This was around long enough that most supplies of the original product were used up, and it caused a lot of complaints. They then brought out "Classic Coke," which was supposed to be the original recipe.

Classic Coke was not the same as the original. The original used cane suger, which is more expensive in the US than the corn syrup that other soft drinks used. So, they came up with a way to hoodwink people and switch to corn syrup - the New Coke/Classic Coke campaign.

Venezuela is a sugar-producing country, specifically cane sugar. Corn syrup is more expensive there. So, Coca-Cola never switched to corn syrup there.

I talked to one of my relatives who works for Coca-Cola. She had never heard anything about New Coke or Classic Coke. They've just been making the same product year after year.


So, you take some Coke that's the same as Coke was 50 years ago, you take some Havana Club rum, add some limon, and you have a real Cuba Libre - just like they served in Havana back in the day.

It really does taste different, and IMO better.

I like Michelob Ultra mixed with Clamato cocktail juice in a nice tall cold glass.
Hey dont knock it until you have tasted it

My dad drinks his beer like that too. I do it also on occasion, I like it also but you gotta watch it 'cause it's real easy to kick back several beers in an hour if you don't pace yourself.

I tried Clamato and beer once and just didn't care for it. I thought Clamato was better as an ingredient in a Bloody Mary.

I actually can't remember the last time I had Clamato juice. I know I used to like it when I was a kid (they had Beefamato too), but the thought of it now doesn't appeal so much. (It's the "clam juice" part of it that seems a bit disgusting. hehe)

I love Corsendonk. It is not that easy to find.
Corona and Dos Esquis are favorites as well.
Can't leave out good ol' Sam Adams varietys as well.

mmmm beea

I have to pace myself with regular beer..

One of the best beers I've ever had was Yuengling. Unfortunately, there are no distributors in Ohio.

It's a good excuse for a trip to PA or VA.

I had some of their Black & Tan while in NC and thought it was quite good.

For those of you who have a "Trader Joes" store in your area, you have to try their "Fat Weasel Ale" (has a picture of.... what else a FAT weasel running with a full beer) . Tastes great, my favorite beer as of the moment.

To top it off, the Alc. content is 7.1% and it only cost $4.49 a sixer. Sweeet!

 

[SilverMK3]

With a meal: Killkenny
Relaxing: Rickard's Red or Longwood Ale
On a hot day: Brahma w/ a lime
Getting sh!tfaced: Anything with Tequila MMMmmmargarita!

If anyone has the opportunity to vacation in Costa Rica, I recommend the Flor De Caña rum or their Bavaria Dark beer. Also, beware the Guaro :S

Mortal Enemies?!

PBR, Milwaukee's Best (The Beast), and Natural Light are mortal enemies. In this battle of the "Premiums" I have to vote for Natural Light. A case was $10 in college and Natty fueled my broke crew on the weekends!

First off there isnt a damn thing out there that beats a thirty pack of natty light for 12 bucks haha. I'm glad to see you thought the same when you were in my shoes.

But I am surprised to see no Blue Moon listed. I love blue moons. I go to Pitt and there's dollar blue moons every wednesday night at Hemmingways. Needless to say waking up for work wasnt so fun this morning .
