Favorite Beers

[mhillsing23]

Many Schlafly Brews (StL Local), Heineken, Fat Tire, Guinness. I love beer, and I love variety! But, if I had to pick one favorite it would be Heineken. Good all the time!

A domestic Lager is OK only when it is free and the only goal is karoke or convincing a lovely lady she needs to play strip poker.

I have taken quite a liking to Shiner Bock since moving to Texas, as well as Ziegen Bock. I will always love my home-state brew of Abita Turbo-Dog and Abita Amber. I am determined to try just about any bock or amber out there (but no Guiness please! Too damn strong!) And if I am in a cheap mood and looking to remember my college days, red dawg. Internationally, I have to say Sappro (sp?) Beer is ****ing awesome when I can find it.

I couldn't agree with you more! I blows my mind how many big, tough, football watchin', cigar chompin' men drink watery, near flavorless beers brewed with cheap rice malt i.e. Bud, Miller Lite, Old Milwaukee, PBR, etc.

How about beers with deep, complex flavor?! Whether you like your beer light or dark, there is SO much good beer out there nowadays, and it's available everywhere! C'mon guys, branch out a little! I have a hard time believing that guys--guys who appreciate fine cigars--are actually trying quality beers, and then going back to that thin, virtually clear crap. It can't be true! Especially among cigar smokers! I know cigar smokers appreciate the finer things in life! OK, look at it this way; a FFOX with age on it is to a Phillies Blunt Sour Apple, as Fuller's London Pride is to Miller Genuine Draft. Make sense?

I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings, but this issue makes my head hurt just a little. I wish there was something I could do to help! If anyone on CS has any questions about good beer, how to get started with it, or anything like that, I can probably help. I drink a ton of the stuff and I often brew my own. If I'm not an expert, then I definitely qualify as an enthusiast!

And, for those already on the inside track, friends don't let friends drink crap beer!

Newcastle for the availability, but my town has a local brewery/pub that makes a Honey Wheat beer that should be bottled and sold worldwide.

I just came back to an old favorite RedHook ESB. Bought a twelve pack the other day and forgot how good they were. And went well with the cigar I was smoking. Yup that would be the favorite this week.

Since I just started homebrewing and they aren't quite up to snuff yet, I am going to say Rouge Imperial Stout is my fav. or any of the Rouge line they are all pretty good. Sierra Nevada Pale ale is also very good... and Mackeson Triple Stout, and... Ah to hell with it there are far too many to name here!!! So many beers so little time.

I also like MGD and Heineken

[Demented]
