soothsayer Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 mmm....beer For starters, I've had #7 and #24 on this list. RateBeer Top 50 If anyone can get a hold of a couple bottles of the #1 beer on that list, and would be willing to either trade or ship them to me (at my expense of course)...please PM me. One of my favorite styles is the India Pale Ale or IPA, and the Dogfish Head 90 Minute Imperial IPA is my favorite so far. I also have a bottle of the 120 Minute IPA in my fridge. That's getting saved for a special occasion though...because the bottle cost $10 and it's 21% ABV. I like a variety of other styles, but some of the strong ales and barley wines I have a hard time swallowing. Some other favorites include: Hoegaarden Blue Moon Guinness Rogue Shakespeare Stout Dragonmead Final Absolution Hacker-Pschorr Hefe Weisse Young's Double Chocolate Stout Bells Oberon Ale I'm sure that I am forgetting some here. There are many that I want to try; including some of the "Extreme Beers" by Samuel Adams, e.g. Utopias. I've also made my own Mead, and it turned out quite good.

Sarm Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 You have not listed any BEERs in that list, they're all Lager. In America, they seem to call most drinks "Beer" unlike Europe, I think that's why the confusion. They're all Lagers in Europe, real beers are the best but don't seem to suit USA's taste buds so they tend to have mostly Lagers. Guiness is BEST, even better when drunk in Ireland ... and heaven when drunk at the place it's brewed ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mambo Boy Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Depends what mood i'm in really. Usually Stella when i'm at the pub or a bar, or i'll drink pernod & lemonade on special occasions (get's me so drunk, but the hangovers are terrible). I did however have some cans of carlsberg export the other night - very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjokkel Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Chimay, if you give it a try you'll know why! It's expensive though :-( Chimay is a nice trappist beer ... as a Belgian I have to say that there is not a single good beer on that list. I would consider most of those **** ... Heineken, bud? yikes! If you like beer I would suggest trying Westmalle Triple. I recently moved to Curacao to work here and i managed to buy Westmalle triple here for a rather good price. It's been chosen best overall beer last year... this year it was chosen best trappist. West Fleteren, also a trappist beer, was chosen best overal beer of 2005. The problem is that you would only be able to get it close to Belgium since it's a none commercial beer still produced by trappist monks.You'll have to drive up to the abbey to get some. Some good beer cafe's will serve them. West Fleteren 12 is great for on a warm summer day but i prefer the 8 during winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnoz Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Chimay, if you give it a try you'll know why! It's expensive though :-( Good choice man ;). But i prefer (the also belgian) Hoegaarden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconian Guppy Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 any beer/lager/whateveryouwanttocallyour-Saccharomyces cerevisiae-brewed-drink, I prefer any beer in a dark/colored glass, those with clear/transparent have been more chemically altered to withstand more light, temperature, etc...

Bobster Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I don't know how anyone can like Guiness - it's horrible :p My favourites are Carling and Carlsberg because they are both orgasms in glasses. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiB3R Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 (edited) Well since I forgot to post which is my favorite, here it is: Sam Adams. Here's some photos I just took right now of a bottle I just opened. Why I like this beer? Take a look at that foam head. It is awesome. The bigger and longer lasting the foam head is, the better it tastes. Bartenders often pour beer down the side to minimize the head. But a thick foamy head allows the flavor to blossom. Always pour your beer right down the middle until the glass is half full. Let the head rise, then slowly continue pouring. You will taste the difference. If I was ever served a beer/larger like that, I'd punch the ****. :| Anyway, as you can see from my sig, I like Stella. (which is a larger, obviously) Nice and crisp, with a kick :) Oh yeah, Vodka is my other poison. I won't mention the rest :whistle: Edited December 21, 2005 by The Cub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven_Nights Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Leinenkugel Honey Wheat - a nice smooth brew from Wisconsin My own personal home brew - its not as hard as you would think and it taste better than any store bought brew. Its actually called Honey Weiss, but Leinenkugel's Berry Weiss and Apple Spice Are really good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
