Whats everyone (at least those of you of age...because we all know that no one underage drinks) on NSGs favorite beer?


Im quite partial to Blue Moon.

Root Beer! I can't stand the other stuff...

Havent had it. Is it more creamy or soda-ey?

No particular favorites, but I do like J W Dundee's Honey Brown Lager.

Yuengling is the richest, best beer out there. No discussion necessary.

More creamy than soda-y, its very smooth and has a crisp flavor.

Blue Moon is good, but my favorites are Anchor Steam, Anchor Porter, Pyramid Apricot and Guinness.

As much as anyone who wants to risk another Chinese food product would attest anyways.

:D

Its American. I think there is a brewery near where I live for it.

My favorite beers aren't German or Belgian. They're American microbrews. And Guinness.

Yuengling is pretty famous. However, I have never seen a bottle of it anywhere. It must not get out to the west coast.

Really? What domestic beers do you drink? Because aside from the occasional Sam Adams, I avoid American beers like the plague.

Here's a website.. http://www.yuengling.com/ I'm doing this because I'm bored...

Schützengarten Klosterbräu
Period.

Really? What domestic beers do you drink? Because aside from the occasional Sam Adams, I avoid American beers like the plague.

American beers that I drink:

anything that Anchor Brewery makes, pretty much
Arrogant Bastard Ale
Old Rasputin Imperial Russian Stout (the name comes from the Beer's type, not its nationality)
Pyramid Hefeweizen
Pyramid Apricot ale
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Blue Moon
Devout Stout (from the Santa Cruz Mountain Brewery)
Sam Adams stuff

Coopers Sparkling Ale (http://www.coopers.com.au/beer.php?id=127&pid=1).

Old Rasputin Imperial Russian Stout (the name comes from the Beer's type, not its nationality)

I have one of these in my fridge. But Im saving it to give to my friend who worships Rasputin.


Blue Moon

Canadian/Belgian :p


Sam Adams stuff

Always a good choice. Especially to get the taste of weed and hooker spit out of your mouth.

'cuz we all need to do that about once a month.

I'm partial to Budweiser and Beck's.

1689 Kronenberg - if I want something light. For darker beers, it depends, Newcastle's alright. Black Porter's.

Dude, youre in Germany. You have no excuse to drink that crap:p



But Becks is good.

Sam Adams: "Always a good decision...especially after a hooker!" Actually I'm cool with Sam Adams too, especially Oktoberfest.

That and the Winter Ale is pretty solid.

The Boston Lager is drinkable as well.

I like guinness and moose head

but I usually drinking bud because they tends to be cheaper.

One of my buddies drinks moose head exclusively. Thats some good shit.

Love my Kiwi beers. Steinlager Pure, Tui, Monteiths Original.

As for overseas, I'm quite partial to a nice Coopers from Aussie and Corona goes down quite well too. Duvel for special occasions.

The one in Devon.

Coopers Sparkling Ale (http://www.coopers.com.au/beer.php?id=127&pid=1).

Yes! This. Lovely beer. :fluffle:

Dude, youre in Germany. You have no excuse to drink that crap:p

Polish Budweiser?

Weissbiers and good old English bitters.

And cider. Cider owns all beers.

I'm allergic to beer.

I drink Stella Artois, Carling, Carlsberg, Becks, Guinness and XXXX.

Stella is my fave. As you can see, I do like my slightly bitter lagers. (Cept for XXXX, which is like Fosters, but half decent.)

Yeah, my bf drinks Stella Artois.

I didn't mind freezing cold Coronas with lime before I was allergicz.

Hertog Jan.

italian: Menabrea, Forst
czech: Primator, Staropramen, Starobrno, Velkopopovicky Kozel, Krusovice
german: Malzmuehle Koelsch, Warsteiner, Jevers

Polish Budweiser?

the real Budweiser should be czech, btw. (from Ceske Budejovice, in german Budweis)

Tom Woods Bomber County

Weissbiers and good old English bitters.

And cider. Cider owns all beers.
Hurrah!

Proper scrumpy, can't be beat.

Tusker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tusker_(beer)#Products) shame I can't get much now.

Oberon Ale. With an orange wedge. In the summer - it's not a winter drink. Yum.

Yes! This. Lovely beer. :fluffle:

Are you serious? I am partial to that beer when I am looking for something cheap to drink but there are better Australian beers out there, and surely NZ must make some decent beer.

Anyway to the question of the OP

I enjoy Hoegarrden Forbidden Fruit, and there was a lovely beer I had in Germany and I have forgotten the name of it now.

Coors, Budweiser, Carslberg Export, Blue Moon (when I had it in VA, we don't get it in England).

I don't mind Miller Genuine Draft either.

As for Root Beer (which I love 20x more than regular beer) my favorite's gotta be the IBC, although A&W and Barq's are a close joint second.

Dude, youre in Germany. You have no excuse to drink that crap:pI think you're confusing the quality Czech beer Budweiser with the horsepiss in cans they call Bud. Bud is not actually a beer.

I think you're confusing the quality Czech beer Budweiser with the horsepiss in cans they call Bud. Bud is not actually a beer.

Bud is even worse than Nastro Azzurro Light.:eek:

Boulevard. Its a wheat beer microbrewed in Kansas City. Very good stuff. I miss it out here in Baltimore.

Proper beers - Doombar, London Pride, Old Speckled Hen (if I really want to get drunk)

Lager - Corona or Keo

Stout - Guinness all the way

Beck's, Jever, Flensburger, Budvar, Veltins, Wicküler.

None of the "gold" or "mixed" or sweetly tasting stuff, though.

I've always quite liked tiger beers.


And cider. Cider owns all beers.

Agreed.

That and the Winter Ale is pretty solid.

The Boston Lager is drinkable as well.

I don't know how many of these get out of New England, but a lot of Samuel Adams' specialty beers are pretty enjoyable. I'm a particular fan of the Cherry Wheat, Cream Stout, and Honey Porter.

Lowenbrau, Kelham Island's Pale Rider, Okocim, Garaminus, Red Stripe.

Lowenbrau, Kelham Island's Pale Rider, Okocim, Garaminus, Red Stripe.
This.

Although Thornbridge's Jaipur and and Lord Marples and Sheffield Brewery's Seven Hills are also more than acceptable local substitutes. Saltaire's Hazlenut & Coffee Porter is very good too, but that's a bit further.

On the lager front, Tiger or the very occasional Kronenburg.

Best first post, ever.

Mead

Miller Genuine Draft

You're missing out. Depending on style, I can name tons of great ones.

Personal favorites: Harpoon IPA, Hazed and Infuzed, Sam Boston Lager, Magic Hat (Circus Boy, Hi.P.A., Hocus Pocus, #9), Flying Dog (In-Heat Wheat, Snake Dog IPA, Tire Bite Golden Ale)

All great choices. I tend towards the American IPA style and love hops, but some of those are much more gentle.

Yuengling is pretty famous. However, I have never seen a bottle of it anywhere. It must not get out to the west coast.It is pretty much only distributed East Coast US, and barely makes it into southwestern CT at that.

Canadian/Belgian :p
Uh...Blue Moon is neither Canadian nor Belgian. It is a Belgian style (very different than being Belgian, to the point where there was a lawsuit about it), and was originally created by Coors prior to the Molson buyout.
I don't know how many of these get out of New England, but a lot of Samuel Adams' specialty beers are pretty enjoyable. I'm a particular fan of the Cherry Wheat, Cream Stout, and Honey Porter.Ever try the White Ale in spring? One of my favorites from them.

Also, go to the Harpoon brewery...they don't do a tour, but do a free tasting with as much as you want to drink. Sams tour is decent too, and lets you try some of their more rare beers that sometimes don't make it to market (they had their cider last time I was there, which they don't sell commercially.)

My favorite beer is IPA the make does not bother me as long as it's properly made I'm happy.

Fuller's 1845, Extra Special Bitter, or as a special treat their Vintage Ale (£3.50 a bottle but well worth it).

Generally, Tankhouse.

I tried a couple last night that I really liked though... La Fin du Monde was good as was Duvel. There was another one I tried, but I can't remember what it was called, I think it had a very nice taste to it though.

...basically I drank a lot of yummy beer yesterday.

Mead

Mmmmmm... mead. I love a good homebrewed mead.

Beer is bitter and disgusting. I prefer Wine, Cider or Certain alcopops.

I got a few:

Dos XX, Lager and Amber
Red Stripe
Markell
La Zaragozana
Lowënbrau amber
Presidente
Corona Extra

I have one of these in my fridge. But Im saving it to give to my friend who worships Rasputin.
Yeah, it's pretty good. Hits you hard, too.


Canadian/Belgian :p
Website says Colorado.


Always a good choice. Especially to get the taste of weed and hooker spit out of your mouth.
Haven't used it for that... but yeah, if there aren't any microbrews around, I get Sam Adams. Or sometimes I just feel like it for some reason.

I do not care for wine. Except when made into a wine cooler.

hehe... well, each person to their own.

I think you're confusing the quality Czech beer Budweiser with the horsepiss in cans they call Bud. Bud is not actually a beer.

Bud is made of public bathroom puddle.

Tecate is also made of public bathroom puddle. However, this public bathroom is Tijuana. That's why it's more flavorful.

I could recommend that you try a few Spanish wines that may well turn your idea of them around for good. :D

You like Tecate?
I truly disliked it's taste while I was in Mexicali.

Apparently American Steam beers from the west coast are good, I've only tried one but quite enjoyed it.

Yes, they are. Especially Anchor. It's a weird kind of beer, because I think technically it's a lager, but it seems more like an ale. So I am told by beer nerds anyway.

You like Tecate?
I truly disliked it's taste while I was in Mexicali.

No, I don't like Tecate. Hence my comparing it to a puddle on the floor of a public restroom. It's only slightly better than Bud.

Are you serious? I am partial to that beer when I am looking for something cheap to drink but there are better Australian beers out there, and surely NZ must make some decent beer.

Yeah I mentioned a few of the NZ beers I liked in my first post.

I dunno, the coopers sparkling ale is a bit different to the usual beers here. It goes down pretty well.

What Aussie beers to you recommend?

Mühlen Kölsch definitely.

No, I don't like Tecate. Hence my comparing it to a puddle on the floor of a public restroom. It's only slightly better than Bud.

I'm relieved. The only beer I liked when I was down in Mexico was Dos XX. Tecate made me sick.:p

Say Blouman, is Fosters truly an Aussie beer? Or is my tv lying to me with bogus commercials?

Seriously, I keep telling you, you've got to try Negra Modelo. Awesome Mexican beer.

Foster's: Australian for "piss."

I would, but I don't think one can get that beer here in Spain.:(

I tried it. Nasty tasting, but it got me buzzed.

Oceans are cool, but they can be so limiting. The best beers are often harder to get the farther you are from where they're made.

I feel kinda out of place, not able to drink beer... :(

I feel kinda out of place, not able to drink beer... :(

And I suppose you've tried the various styles? Living in the UK, and all.

You should try Belhaven Wee Heavy. It tastes sorta like butterscotch in a way.

UK Varieties suck.

I belive there are 2 different kinds of fosters one made in the UK by Courage which without doubt is foul, there is a "export" version which is the original Australian recipie which I have not tried.

UK beer is not quite that bad the mass market varieties are bad but if you like your beer warm and bitter there are a lot of good ones.

Sam Adams summer ale, and Carlsberg(denmark)

UK Varieties suck.
Really? There's huge variation even in the mass market, let alone the 'specialist' market.

Oceans are cool, but they can be so limiting. The best beers are often harder to get the farther you are from where they're made.

Indeed they are. But, if I go back to California and drive down to Mexico again, I'll be sure to try Negra Modelo. If I don't like it, I'll blame you for it.:D

Really? There's huge variation even in the mass market, let alone the 'specialist' market.

Oh, they do. They're just all so bitter to me. My taste buds can't take it. :(

Mühlen Kölsch definitely.

Hooray for Heumarkt!

Personally I quite the Italian Peroni Gran Reserva whilst it is expensive the flavour is very nice.

If you don't like bitter beers, you can try Fruli, it's beer and strawberries and therefore yummy.

That's close to a wine cooler, don't you think?:confused:

tesco!!!

Iz gonna go have a look tomorrow then. :p

There's also Pyramid Apricot, which actually tastes very much like apricots. Very tasty beer, though dangerous, because it's so damn drinkable that you've gone through a whole six pack before you know it.

I'm told it is also a great beer to have with some weed.

Non si tratta di una birra di cattivo gusto.

Secondo me, è di gusto orribile.

Complimenti per l'italiano, comunque! :)

Really? Pretty much everything we get from the UK and Europe over here is pretty damn good. Newcastle, Belhaven, Bass, Guinness, Murphy's, Smithwick's, Spaten, etc.

Secondo me, è di gusto orribile.

La cosa peggiore noto birra americana. Non crede? Ma per il gusto, i colori sono stati, come diciamo qui in Spagna. E grazie.;)

Say Blouman, is Fosters truly an Aussie beer? Or is my tv lying to me with bogus commercials?

It is brewed by different companies in different countries...USA is SABMiller...I think Heinekin covers much of Europe.

It is also far from the most popular.

Sounds interesting.
I don't know how hard it is to get over in the UK, though, since they're based on the west coast of the USA. But yeah, if you get a chance, you should try it.


I don't do weed mate. :p
Didn't say you did, didn't say you didn't. A lot of NSGers do and so some might want to take the suggestion.

Thanks for the clarification. I wonder who may be exporting it here in Spain? Meh, next time I see it, I'll check.

Looks like it is Heinekin. Not sure what country they brew in...in North America, it's made in Canada

Must be Heiniken then.

Where will I find that?
I don't know about where you live, but you can possibly get inventories at local booze stores.

Mead

Is not beer. It's closer to a wine, but really, Mead is just Mead.

As far as beers go, a good stout (especially Guinness), JW Dundees Honey Brown Lager, Bell's Oberon, Arrogant Bastard can be good but I have to have something equally strong in flavor to eat along with it.

I've had an apricot beer before (different one though) McAuslan's apricot beer (or something along those lines). It's also yummy.

Although I respect those who enjoy their Guinness, I totally abhor the taste of that beer. It's greasy and goes down too heavy for my taste.

Whats everyone (at least those of you of age...because we all know that no one underage drinks) on NSGs favorite beer?


Im quite partial to Blue Moon.
I don't like beer that people put things in. With Blue Moon, it's oranges, with Corona, it's lemons. Good beer should stand on its own.

I like Red Hook ESB. If I can't get that, then Sam Adams Pale Ale is good.

It's usually a good practice to try whatever is brewed locally, though. You can find some really good beers that way.

Although I respect those who enjoy their Guinness, I totally abhor the taste of that beer. It's greasy and goes down too heavy for my taste.

I've not noticed any greasiness, but as for heavy it's not a stout unless you practically need to chew it. Maybe the stuff they ship to Spain is different than the stuff they ship to America.

I tried Guinness while living in the US, Red-san. At an Irish Pub, to boot, in Lansing, MI.

I'll tell you one drink I love though... Kopperberg Pear Cider. Sooo sweet and tasty. :p

You should try Asturian cider. That stuff will get your drunk in a jiffy.:p

Who the hell puts oranges in Blue Moon? It's fine by itself.

Corona actually needs to have stuff put in, because it tastes nasty and skunked by itself.

Really? More for me, I guess, then! I luuurve me some Guinness. Of course, Stouts and Porters are really my thing.

Don't get me wrong. For those who truly like their beer, Guinness it is. But I'm not much of a beer drinker. I mean, I enjoy me some brands on occasion, but I'm not a hardcore beer drinker. My taste is, perhaps, girly in that aspect. Now, give me wine, and I can put on that stuff like a man. LOL!

True, one of my friends can't drink a whole bottle of Guinness, she says it's just too, well, much for her. Though she can chug a car bomb as good as any of us guys, lol.

I dunno, I just never have developed a taste for wine. I've been trying, in college, but it still tastes bad to me.

Say Blouman, is Fosters truly an Aussie beer? Or is my tv lying to me with bogus commercials?

Yeah, it is an Aussie beer.

We don't drink the stuff anymore but it is an aussie beer.

When they "Fosterized" the world that left out Australia for good reason.

It is quite hard to find Foster's beer in Australia.

EDIT: As some people have said some companies have got a license to produce Fosters outside of Australia, and I suppose it might taste different, the only time I have ever had it was on a flight out of Australia.

Who the hell puts oranges in Blue Moon? It's fine by itself.

Corona actually needs to have stuff put in, because it tastes nasty and skunked by itself.It's tradition with hefeweizens and other belgian beers to serve them with some form of citrus...the citrus does damage the head on the beer however. It's more common for girls to get it with the fruit, and guys to pass (not surprising, though, that has little to do with the quality of the drink)

I dunno, I just never have developed a taste for wine. I've been trying, in college, but it still tastes bad to me.

Some people may never like the taste, but it is generally considered that people as they get older do acquire a taste for more wine.

When you are younger the sweet whites are more preferred and then as you get older you also begin to enjoy dry whites then sweet reds and then finally dry reds as well. While that isn't true for all people (I myself have always enjoyed a dry red) it is considered to be the case as taste buds develop and change.

Have you been drinking many sweet whites?

Ah. Not being much of a wine drinker, I don't know which are which (except for the distinction between white and red of course) and have mostly had cheap wines. The few times I've had classier wines, I didn't like them much better though. They were probably dry reds.

I'm fond of Fat Tire, Guinness, Sudwerk Marzen, Gorden Biersch Marzen, Pyramid Hefeweizen, Chimay Bleu, and Sam Smith Oatmeal Stout, among others. I tend to drink more wine than beer, though.

I dunno, I just never have developed a taste for wine. I've been trying, in college, but it still tastes bad to me.

I was brought up drinking wine. It's customary for me to have a glass with lunch and with dinner. I guess you could say I was brought up on the stuff and I've acquired the taste for it from a young age.

I'm, of course, partial to reds and Spanish wines. I don't like Italian or Portuguese wines too much. French wine, for me, it's disgusting. I must, though, accept that when it comes to whites, Italy does it best. But I'm a red wine fan.

I prefer smooth bitters such as Banks or Marston’s we get in the pub across the road. But if I have to drink larger Stella, AKA Wife Beater/Leg Opener is the larger of choice. Foster's isn’t bad if nothing else is on offer.

It all tastes the same anyway after a metting with Mr Lambert, Mr Buter and 20-40 of ther mates.

Yeah, it is an Aussie beer.

Thanks for the information. The first and last time I tried Foster's, I drank one of the 'caguama' bottles (40s in the US, I think) and got smashed from just one bottle, and I didn't even finish the entire thing. Strong, nasty thing.:tongue:

Yeah maybe, try a Riesling, if you do want it to be sweet. The cheap ones, such as two-buck-chuck or out of a goon bag are not going to be good at all but a good Riesling you might enjoy. Stay away from house wines at pubs they are usually a blend of the crappier grapes and are no good, I'm feeling sick in the stomach thinking about one I consumed quite a few years ago.

Many bottles usually have a description on the back that gives some idea as to what it might be, and if it is sweet or not. If you are at a decent restaurant the waiter should also know and be able to recommend one for you and if at a bottle shop the attendant should have some idea of what is what.

:D Yeah it can be nasty, maybe why we don't drink it anymore but prefer the better Australian beers though people still drink crap West End and VB comes to mind.

I always found French wine to be similar to getting the mold on a Brie and licking it.

But we all know that Australians make the best wine. :tongue:

Damn you and your Shiraz!


:fluffle:

:) Me likes a Coonawarra Shiraz.

As I recall, Germans compare Budweiser with Water. :D

I tried the one that has a 'roo on the label and comes in a rather dark bottle. I'm trying to remember the name of it.

But it tastes more like piss. *nod*

I was brought up drinking wine. It's customary for me to have a glass with lunch and with dinner. I guess you could say I was brought up on the stuff and I've acquired the taste for it from a young age.

I'm, of course, partial to reds and Spanish wines. I don't like Italian or Portuguese wines too much. French wine, for me, it's disgusting. I must, though, accept that when it comes to whites, Italy does it best. But I'm a red wine fan.

Most of the wine I've had, naturally, is California wine. Mostly reds.

I've heard good things about CA wines, especially those from Napa and even from several wineries from Tijuana. I should try your reds when I can.

I was referring mainly to the Napa and Sonoma county ones. For a state with water issues, we sure do make a lot of wine. More than all of the rest of the US put together, and we'd be the fourth largest wine producer if we were an independent country. This is another reason I want to like wine more, because it would support my state's economy.

Gotcha.:)

My advice would be that you start with the sweet wines and slowly build to the drier kinds. I mean, if you're not a lot into them, that's what I would do.

As I recall, Germans compare Budweiser with Water. :D
I know I do. It's how I imagine carbonated watered down piss would taste like.
But it tastes more like piss. *nod*
Which begs the question how you'd know what piss tastes like. :eek:

Oberon Ale. With an orange wedge. In the summer - it's not a winter drink. Yum.

Agreed, although without the orange. In the winter I adore Bell's Special Double Cream Stout or Two Hearted Ale. In short, Larry Bell (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%27s_Brewery,_Inc.) is my personal Lord and Saviour. I am, however, also quite partial to Pelforth Brune.

I tried the one that has a 'roo on the label and comes in a rather dark bottle. I'm trying to remember the name of it.

Yeah, ok umm, don't know there are many different wineries and even brands. Though I seem to recall reading that some placed kangaroos on the labels bound for export so that people would know it is Australia.

But there are many different wineries over the many regions in Australia, Connawarra is one such region and many are exported so yeah doesn't matter as long as you enjoyed it hey :p

Most of the wine I've had, naturally, is California wine. Mostly reds.

Well there's your problem :p No California wine has improved recently but, yeah I would suggest a sweet white. Riesling is one such sweet variety.

Which begs the question how you'd know what piss tastes like. :eek:

Which then begs the question, do we reall want to know?

Well it is Nanatsu maybe we do :p

Yellow Tail perhaps?

Or is that one American with a fish on the side?

Köstritzer Schwarzbier.

Guinness, Leinenkugel's Creamy Dark, Sam Adams Cream Stout, and Sprecher Black Bavarian all tie for my favorites.

Sprecher and Leinenkugel's are both microbrews in Wisconsin... I got my bachelor's degree in the Milwaukee area, so I became attached to their microbrews.

Plus one on the Guinness front. I'm definitely not a beer drinker, but I'll drink that.

To drive consumers to their competitors, I imagine. I can't think of any other reason.

True story: While at college, we had a typical night of drunken fun, fueled mostly with Keystone Light (cheap), and Blue UV Vodka. We're all hammered, and out of alcohol, but back in my room I have a case of High Life Lite my roomie gave me (which should have been a sign)...

...I go grab the case, go back to the party, and pass around beers to those who are still around. Despite the fact that all of us were already well past drunk, NONE of us finished even our first MHL Lite.

It's that bad.

Wow... I pretty much won't even drink Keystone unless I'm like, blacked out. Normally the shittiest I'll drink is PBR or Miller High Life (regular, which tastes like corn to me)

Yeah, well Keystone Light was $10 for a 30-pack of 15 oz cans...

...as a freshman, it was all about the budget. :tongue:

Indeed. That's when you know a beer isn't just bad.... It's fucking terrible.

After my first year at university I've yet to come across something quite so appalling. Then again I don't think the market here for 'lite' beers is anywhere near as big as it is overseas, especially US.. The cheapest beer we drunk was $10 for 12 cans, and when it was cold enough, it wasn't half bad. Guess we're lucky down here.

OK, look:
Anybody who even mentions Coors, Budweiser, Corona, Miller, Tecate and a few others in a thread titled "Favorite beer" clearly needs to expand their drinking habits a bit. Thats like claiming Sarah Palin is your favorite liberal.

As far as Hefeweizens go, throw the Pyramid one out the window and try the real Fransizkaner or Paulaner.

Straight up classic, good brew: Stella Artois

Nuff said!

Guinness.........
It takes a lot of getting used to, but when you've got the taste for it, everything else tastes weak. And I have tried almost every different beer I've come accross.

Chimay blue label.

You mean Heineken.

Yes, I meant that. :p

Who the hell puts oranges in Blue Moon? It's fine by itself.

Corona actually needs to have stuff put in, because it tastes nasty and skunked by itself.
All of the fru-fru bars that my wife prefers put an orange slice in the glass when you get a pint.

The dives that I prefer don't even sell it. But I don't go to a dive to drink beer.

Newcastle Brown Ale

Which begs the question how you'd know what piss tastes like. :eek:

If any beer were to taste like piss, I'm sure Bud would be one of those.

Also Scheiffer. I tried that after nagging my grandfather, and I almost puked.:$

That is effectively how they're made. But Yank beers aren't too bad when they're actually made in Europe. Bud here isn't too bad. I wouldn't go out of my way to drink it, except just for the sake of change, but I've had worse.

I have that same experience with Michelob Ultra. I think it's an amazing Yank tasting beer.

No, to think one can drink it.

Oh, yeah you need to have drunk so much that you can't taste it before you can drink it and enjoy it.

But I would rather drink my home brew before touching Bud. Though I must admit my home brew isn't all that bad and is drinkable, got some praise from people who enjoy a good drop and know what they are talking about.

How hard is brewing your own beer? I have a bit of a reputation among my friends for being quite the drinker, and brewing my own beer would be very in character.

I've had friends that made beer. Generally, batches turned out pretty good. I've thought about it from time to time, but just haven't been able to overcome the inertia of laziness.

Almost all American beers, with the exception of a few, taste like watered down piss. :p

As I've mentioned before, you haven't hardly tried any of the American beers I drink. Generally they are small companies that don't have flashy advertising campaigns.

There are a ton of good American beers. They just mostly happen to be small and lacking in far reaching distribution.

Not that hard at all. If there is a brew shop near by they can mill the grains for you and it only takes a week (if making an ale) to make to be ready to bottle and carbonate.

It does cost a bit to start up, however, but if you can get the shop to do the milling for you (at a price of course) and you already have a airtight container (one that allows carbon dioxide to escape without letting anything in) then all you really need is a keg and a carbonation tank.

The shops will try to sell you everything under the sun, you won't need it all, so be careful. As I say it isn't that hard to brew your own beer but the start up costs are a bit high, though it does usually pay for itself in the end, when you are only paying a 1/4 of the cost of a carton then going out and buying it.

Bears

I've heard one thing man times: Expect the first batch to be awful, and rejoice if it isn't.

While my batch first batch wasn't awful, I will admit I was doing it under the direction of a man who has been brewing beers for 30 years, there will be times when there are brews that don't are awful. Some will be drinkable (just) while others aren't good enough for the garden.

I do remember trying a friends one and it tasted like rotten bananas, so some will go off and have some funny tastes but if you can get a good recipe going and follow a general method than it will more than likely turn out good.

Bears

Did I write bears instead of beers?!:eek:

I always found that my favorite beer is more 'situational'--depends on the circumstance and location...for example:

After landing in a single prop plane on a dirt airstrip in Belize, narrowly avoiding a flock of birds...that ice cold Beliken was beautiful. A black and tan is always delicious in an Irish pub, a 0,5l Hacker Pschorr Lager or Koenig Ludwig Hefe Weizen is great after a hike in the Alps, Carta Blanca pulled out of an ice chest while fishing in Mexico is awesome, and even a Coors (not Light) goes well with mowing the lawn in the summer! Kirin Ishiban with sushi, Anchor Steam when visiting San Francisco, and the Pilsener (Ecuador) seemed to fit well with the bullfights during Fiestas de Quito. It just depends.

Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout and Nut Brown ale, Steinlager, Spaten Marzen, Kloster Andechs Doppelbock, Augustiner Edelhell, Pilsner Urquell are all great brews too. Not too big a fan of lambics and krieks though...but they are really more of a beer cousin to me anyways.

And with the exception of dopplebocks and hefe/kristall weizen, beer on tap is almost always better than beer in a bottle/can.

I must agree with you on the Kirin mention. With sushi it's the best. I also like an ice cold Tsing Tao ocassionally.

Umm Sam Smiths stout yummy!

Try Smithwicks. It's a good transition while you work your way up to Guinness. Not quite as chewy, and you can see through it, but it's a good Irish ale.
Anchor Steam is far and away my favorite. Other than that, I go for stouts, porters - anything that has to change color before I piss it out again.

Hmm true, I haven't really drunk a lot of European beer at all. Should probably start on something a little lighter and work up. This Anchor Steam sounds promising -- hope there's no trouble in getting it here.
Thank you for recommendations!
