Best Beer in the World?

[SingleMaltScott-cl]

I am a major Hop Head.....I love good beer (sorry to all you guys who drink what most American's consider beer ie: Michelob,Bud, Miller....blech).
I think if I had to nail it down to ONE (which is like asking me which is my favorite SM Scotch) I'd have to say the Allagash Brewing Company Belgian Dubbel Ale. I just love the stuff. I also am a fan of the Rock Art Brewing Co from Vermont, Flying Fish, Dog Fish, Samuel Adams Brewmaster Series, especially the Brown Ale. Also like a lot of stuff from Sierra Nevada as well, especially their Pale Ale. I'm not a fan of beer you can see thru, almost as a rule.
I'm toying with the idea of doing some home brewing in the near future.

Shiner Bock fans in Louisiana also. Comes a close second to my Abita Amber. Just had a couple Abita Ambers with a nice rare steak from the grill......mmm...mmm good.

Anyone have Fat Tire?

Actually the best beer I ever had was from the Flat Branch in Columbia, MO called Oil Change

[LouZava]

For me, I like Bohemia, Dos XX Lager, Carta Blanca, Modelo Negro, Pilsner Urquell, Chimay, Maredsous (sp) the list goes on!

I have a new love in my life... and it's name is Toohey's Old Black. Not quite a draught, but damn rich and smooth. Color is like Guiness, but you can almost see through it. I had it on my trip to Oz and I've been looking for it ever since. Anyone have an idea where I can order it from in the US, I'd be very appreciative...

But that aside - Killian's Red, Modelo Especiale, Yueng Ling, and Sam Adams Oktoberfest. Ahh....

I like both ends of the spectrum, light and fruity beers like Sam Adams Spring Ale, and dark stuff like Guinness and Yuengling Black and Tan.

However, personally, I don't like beer with cigars. The two just don't mix well for me. I think the carbonation tends to bring out bad parts about the fact that you're putting hot smoke in your mouth.

Man, we have a way different selection of beers in Canada than you guys in the states... or maybe I just don't know anything about beer.
My favourite beer (for the summer) is sleemans original draft and Big Rock grasshoper (both Canadian beers)
But I always love a kronenbourg (sp?) or a schneider-weisse (sp?)

I'm not an avid beer drinker, but I have sampled a lot of micro-brews in my travels. The one that stands out the most is Tampa Red Ale which used to be brewed/sold at Hopper's in Tampa (the one in West Chase). Since they closed the place, it is no more...

I could get it in CT, dunno about anywhere else.

You can get Sam Smith at the beer store here (Cranberry, PA). Also, an Italian restaurant with an INSANE beer selection (for the area) has all of them by the bottle.

I love beer. Good beer. I'm not picky and will enjoy most any beer that someone puts in my hand (or that I put in my hand considering the lack of drinking buddies). My end-all, be-all favorite would have to Murphy's Irish Stout in Ireland (as if you couldn't tell). I haven't been anywhere in the States that know how to properly pour an Irish stout. They all run the gas too low and it comes out flat. Could be a freshness thing too, I dunno. All I know is that I haven't had a better pint in my life than in Ireland. Bar none!

Later,

That was my first thought too.

IMHO (and YMMV) the best beer in the world is Guinness (and millions of Irishmen can't be wrong) followed closely by any Canadian beer.

Used to LOVE Watney's Cream Stout - prefer it to Guiness, actually - but they don't import it anymore, DAMMIT.
My short list? Abita TurboDog, Young's Double Chocolate Stout, Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout, Pete's Strawberry Blonde, Newcastle, Ommegang Rare Vos, and most of the Sam Adams Seasonal stuff

[brianhewitt-cl]

This is one thread I just gotta dig up. (How on earth did I get here anyway?)

My favorite brew of the moment is Flying Dog Old Scratch Amber, but I'd easily take a New Belgium Fat Tire or a Caffreys Irish Ale over it in a minute. (Both unavailable in Hotlanta. I can understand Caffreys, but Fat Tire? Why, Georgia, why?) After that, it's any Bridgeport on tap (Hooray! Portland beer!) and the local delicacy Sweetwater 420. Newcastle ain't half bad either!

Man, I'm thirsty now...

Newcastle goes very well with cigars... IMHO

I've gone three weeks with no beer...Bud would be the best beer in the world right now. :arghhhh:
