Your Favorite Beers

I love beer.

Shiner Bock is f***ing incredible. Sammy Smith's Oatmeal Stout is my other #1. A few more faves: Amber Bock, Newkie Broon (Newcastle), Guiness, Young's Double Chocoloate Stout, most anything from McEwan's, Calder's Cream Ale (haven't found it in the US yet...), Chimay, Old Engine Oil, Orkney Skullsplitter, Red Stripe, I could go on forever, probably.

As said above, most of the import beers are much better on tap, in their country of origin. Belgium especially has a plethora of excellent beer. If you've never been, I highly suggest it. They treat beer like France treats wine.

On rare occasion, usually a hot day, I will have a Bud. Also, beer is a must if I am grilling.

Man, all this beer talking has me cravin' one.

 

You got me good -- somehow, I should have seen that one coming. :lol:

 

Speaking of Belgian beers, I've had three recently that I recommend if you're a fan: Delirium Tremens; Kwak (which comes in a glass without a bottom and requires a wood-contraption to hold it - not a good choice if you've already had a couple); and, Lagunitas Brewing Co. recently issued a Belgian-style Tripel that features Zappa's 1968 album “We’re Only In It For The Money” on the label.

Good stuff on this beer thread. Thanks to everybody for contributing their favorites - I've got a list of what I'll be consuming this weekend while working around the house.

 

Victoria Bitter (Austalia)

Kilkenney (Ireland)

Caledonian (Scotland)

 

Red Hook ESB, Shiner Bock (I'm a Texan, this and the next one are like mother's milk), Dos Equis Amber (with salt), Fat Tire, and Mirror Pond Pale Ale.

 

If I cant drink beer in the morning then I might as well post about it.

US - Shiner Bock, Local Brew = Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold

England - Tetley, Samuel Smiths, many others but cant remember the names

German - Ayinger, any local Bavarian summer wheat

Belgian - Duvel

Asian - Singha, San Miguel, Beer Lao

Ireland - Smithwicks, Guiness (the only beer that is clearly the best in its class)

Czech - Pilsner Urquell (if I could only have one beer for the rest of my life, this would be it)

Mexico - Dos Equis

Italy - Peroni

France - Oh wait, they dont make any good ones

 

I don't know how i missed this thread. Pabst, Left Hand Sawtooth, London Pride, probably my top three. But I will say this, the only beer that I think is just horrible is Pig's Eye.

So? Neither do the Dutch.

Amended: Well , they might but I never had one.

 

Shiner is actually pretty sweet too and you like that. Maybe you should try it again.

 

I remember San Miguel... after all, I lived near an AFB all my life.

IMO, falls into the old Coors category... only good when remembered fondly from a distance.

Once in hand, reality bites!

 

Couple additions:
Great Divide Hercules Double IPA
Redhook Longhammer IPA
La Chouffe
Allagash Triple

I likes the hoppy stuff

 

Yes, Amstel, Grolsh, and Heinekin are three of the most overated beers in the world.

I bet the French do make a good beer; they just dont want the world to stop wasting money on their overated wine.

 

It's also been quite a while since I've had a San Miguel and I dont think that I've had it with Asian food. As far as a beer with Asian food, sweet is not what I would want. Give me a Singha.

 

I agree Mo, Singha, and also Taj Mahal, are great beers to wash down that spicy Indian or Thai meal...plus, they come in the "big" bottle!

 

No Anchor Steam, then??
