Quick! Beer suggestion

“Quick, suggest a good beer.
Nothing generic like coors ect. I've had my fill for now of Killians and Guinness too. Want something on the order of Honey Brown or Killians.

Been scoping that blue moon ale. Is it any good?”

“I really enjoy the taste of Ambers, not as sweet as Porter.
I am a West Coast Micro Brew devotee so I cannot suggest brand names as most likely the stuff we have around here does not make it that far East.”

“Beck's Dark. Gooood stuff, if a bit pricey.”

“Warsteiner
Lienenkeugals
Great Lakes Elliot Ness
Bass
Pabst Blue Ribbon”

“rolling rock...the beer of Crazy Mike.”

“Blue Moon is sweet tasting, slightly floral. sorta hefewiesen (sp?). It's good. Very drinkable.

For hoppy, go any IPA. Or Full Sail Amber.”

“Grolsch.”

“I buy local microbrews, usually amber or brown ales.


Support your local breweries!”

“Bass
St Pauli Girl
Konig Ludwig (weisse)
Harps
Brakspear
A good black and tan”

“Blue Moon is in my top 3 favorite beers. I'm told they make a pumpkin beer, too.

Killians makes a Honey Wheat that is tasty.

And, I'm pretty partial to Sam Adams Cherry Wheat.”

“Cherry Wheat's good.”

“blackwatch cream porter mmmm”

“Honey Brown or Killians are both "sweet" beers, on the other side of a well-balanced beer, opposite to bitter/hopy beers, and I can't stand beers on the sweet side. Try a Bock beer, Brown Ale or Lambic. Or go balls out and Belgian Ale or Barley Wine yourself...lots of alcohol in them.

I prefer Pale Ales, Porters and Bitters...give me hops, aroma and tons of flavor.”

“Don't bother with that swine urine. Have a bottle of dark red wine.”

“DOS EQQUIS! (XX)


good chit manayrd”

“Brew your own.

Beer Machine”

“In your neck of the woods I'd reccomend trying a sampling from The Goose Island brewery in Chicago, Excellent IPA and their brown ale is killer.”

“Goose Island is good, unless it's been on the shelf too long. It tends to become highly carbonated.

Sam Adams is decent stuff for a reasonable price.”

“Sammy Smith, ya varmints!

The Nut Brown totally kills as well the India Ale (no 'P'). I've been swilling some of that Beamish Stout, lately. Mighty tasty, and a touch lighter than Guinness.”

“dm99 - Do you get Bell's in your area? It's brewed in Kalamazoo Mich. Their Oberon (sp?) is excellent. Creamy, smooth. Yum”

“

Frostie!

They changed the bottle design to this cheap piece o' crap, but the stuff inside tastes just like it did in the Bad Ol' Days.”

“My favorite is Sam Adams summer ale. Availability is a problem. I have a friend that brews a mean ginger ale (not to be confused with the soda). I wonder if I can covince him to throw in some lemon...”

“I've been wanting to try Samual Adams Summer Ale but can never find it. What's the deal?”

“The problem is that there aren't many micro brews sold around here. The market in a college town tends to lean towards quantity, not quality. So I ended up settling for some Rolling Rock and some Honey Brown. Maybe I'll start doing some hunting and see if I can find some good stuff.”

“Sammi Claus is a Swiss brew, pricey but great malt taste and smooth as a baby's butt. It's about 14 percent alcohol. Makes a fine dinner drink, almost like wine. Well worth the effort to find it.”

“. . . is a contract brew. Only available in 'contracted'locations. Some of us can enjoy, the rest of you have to suffer! :-}”

“Whatever you do...stay away from that "beer machine".
I have yet to hear anyone say anything good about it.
If you want to make beer, go ahead and get a real kit.”

“Sammi Claus and Brakspear are both on my hit list, and have been for a while.

And watch out for those suckers that end in -ator...”

“Fat Tyre, made by New Belgium Brewery in Boulder, CO. The best brown ale in North America, IMO. Not bitter, but lots of body.

Also, Shiner Bock, made in Texas. A great beer!”

“Last night, Birch and Sass had some German beer w/ a hint of banana. Ludwig something or other... It was quite tasty.

We also sampled the Manitou Amber Ale (Michigan brewed) and a Russian beer that was quite tasty.

Presently enjoying a cold Heiny.

Gotta love a good beer.”

“Konig Ludwig, weisse was the German stuff that tasted like bannanas.

Fat Tire is very tasty.

The Russian beer is Parnassus Baltika.”

“sammy smith....mmm, mmm, mmm. nuff said.

sierra nevada
goose island
brecken ridge brewery makes a good pale ale also
bass

i, personally, am sippin on a sam adams boston ale watching the bungles phuck it all up.

a little bar in my neighborhood has 24 oz sam adams summers for $2.

i've been known to brew up some of my own, also. think there's a beer category at tc2?”

“A black en Tan would be good right now!

8)”

“For a second there I thought you said 'buggles' <Ha>

A guy I know keeps threatening an attempt at recreating that Czech Pilsner... but he says he needs an el cheapo (but still functional) refrigerator to brew it in. Don't ask me... LOL



A cold Heiny... in September?”

“Sounds like he's trying to lager it, Tilt. Lagers are bottom-fermenting yeasts that prefer cold temps, preferably about the temp that a fridge would have. I can't remember if Pilsners are lagers. I guess I could go look it up but I'm too lazy, lol!


I stuck mostly to ales myself. Lagering is hard, and so is making a Pilsner. Not much malt in there to cover up your mistakes!”

“Roger that. He made a few ales, but I think he did better with the stouts.

%^ )”

“Making a stout is easy! Waiting for it to age enough, that's hard....”

“Yeah MALT!!!”

“I need to make another beer...but damn can only have so many hobbies at one time....”

“the lagers brew at cold temps. pilsners and ales brew around room temp. ale does well at higher temps than most.”

“KOKANEE!”

“We drank a lot of Really Young stout, LOL”

“After you're drunk, who cares if it's too young? lol....”

“...apply in liberal and frequent doses...”

“EXactly, BP.



LIBERAL doses, FG?”

“LOL, Tilt, that IS a nasty word, isn't it? Hows 'bout we say, 'copious'?”

“'Copious' is more in character for You, LOL”

“Yeah. Kinda sounds like another of my favorite words, LOL.”

“Heineken and Grolsch taste sour to me. I like Beck's Dark as a European beer, but I prefer Newcastle Nut Brown Ale which is on tap at my local pub. Sam Smith's is truly excellent, but I haven't found any for years - they used to have it at the Artist's Café in Lake Placid, NY. Here in Canada Sleeman's brew an amber that is quite good.”

“Hop's Alligator Ale and Hammerhead Red,,,,,,blended for a Nectar.

IMHO, one of the finest concoctions available.”
