Favorite Beers

[vince321]

I'm on a Hefe-Weizen Dunkel binge. Love the stuff. Both Franziskaner and Hacker-Pschorr. Last time I was in Germany, there was much better selection but unfortunaltely, those beers are not available in the US.

If you've never tried a Weat - Dunkel, give it a shot and let me know what you think!

Innis and Gunn Oak Aged Beer
Can't say enough about this.

"Using oak to age beer is unheard of. But, the flavours imparted by the oak barrels (previously used to mature bourbon) lend an incredible depth of
taste. Think vanilla, toffee and orange aromas, with a malty,
lightly oaked palate; soothing and warm in the finish."

Now they're starting to do a blend in rum casks. Can't wait to try it.

My go to beers are nothing exquisite but I guess this is another slope I choose to go down like cigars:

Newcastle - my favorite
Kirin Ichiban
Dos Equis
Pacifico

My wife likes Corona Light - YUCK!!!

I might have posted on the other thread. I prefer homebrew since I've started kegging. Really makes a huge difference. Anybody in Blackburg VA is welcome to come and sample the brews!

Commercial, lets look at my ratebeer top beers .....

Rochefort Trappistes 10
Two Hearted Ale Bells Brewery
AleSmith Speedway Stout
Cantillon Gueuze
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Sierra Nevada Bigfoot
New River Pale Ale
Westvleteren Abt 12
Budweiser Budvar (Czechvar) 12°
Bells Expedition Stout
Victory HopDevil
Pilsner Urquell
Stone Ruination IPA
Three Floyds Dark Lord Russian Imperial Stout
Schneider Aventinus Weizen-Eisbock
Great Divide Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout
Weyerbacher Double Simcoe IPA
Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout

I'd drink any of these any time .... been particularly fond of the Weyerbacher double simcoe lately. SNPA is an old time favorite from the '80s. Started using their bottles for yeast culture before anybody was selling chico yeast. One of the first beers in the early '80s that made me realize the best beers in the world are brewed in the US, not Canada (with a nod to Belgium). That and SABL, which for some reason I don't have rated that highly.

I've been getting a few different beer every few weeks to sample. The Hefe -Weisse dunkel tasted pretty good but the fizz went out of it quickly opposed to the usual Hefe-Weisse. The Kellerbrau "Wheat" (Monchshof) I rated quite highly.
The Smithwick's Irish Ale was excellent a very dense foam and the fizz didn't go out of it.

[LordOfWu]

Domestic - non-local: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Stone IPA
Domestic - local (Denver area): Man Beer (Bull and Bush), there are two many others that are very good, Man Beer is just something special!
Imported - Guiness, Newcastle (if it's fresh) and Stella Artois
