What BEER are you drinking?

Old Brown Dog Ale; had a xx amber earlier.

I don't drink beer, but if I did, it would be Heater Allen (shameless plug here for another wino's business)

Foret. My favorite.

While in the Philippines recently for two weeks, Red Horse Ale, a new favorite. Just need to find where I can buy it here.

Schlafly Pumpkin Ale. DELICIOUS.

There's a joke in there somewhere.

Goose Island Pere Jacques. Skunky , I'm taking the remaining three back to Trader Joe's.

Dogfish Head Punkin (Pumpkin) Ale

Paulaner "Oktober Fest" Lager

Sat. night at my friends going away party we had a Struis Cuvee Delphine, which is Black Albert(beer cousin of Fat )aged in Four Roses Bourbon Brls, '04 Cantillon Lou Pepe Kriek and a 3L of Triple Karmeliet.

Last brewski was a Blind Pig IPA at the Russian River Brew Pub

Mainly homebrews:
Baldy's Summer Spectacular
Baldy's Blonde Bimbo

Looking for the weather to cool down so I can pop:
Stone Imperial Russian Stout
Southern Tier Oak Aged Unearthly IPA (FANTASTIC!)
Elysian Night Owl Pumpkin

Jack Russell London Porter and Jack Russell Irish Red Ale... Unbelievably rich and creamy. Neither are the least bit hoppie (sp?).

I've had the Jack Russell Brown Ale in the past and really liked it as well.

Because Jack Russell beers / ales are hard to find retail, I always try to stock up whenever I am in close proximity to their facility.

Jack Russell Brewing is located in Camino, California.

It's still hot outside so plenty of ice cold Peroni Nastro Azzurro.

Cantillon - Brouscella 1900 Gueuze
Sierra Nevada - Torpedo IPA
Drie Fonteinen - Oude Gueuze

Boddington's
Allagash Four
DogFish 90 Minute IPA

Okanagan Springs Pale Ale - Best Ale on the planet!

Naramata Nut Brown - great dark ale!

Has anyone tried the new Bud lime?
Thoughts? Are they trying to compete with Corona?

2 quick questions:
1. How did you like the Lou Pepe kriek?
2. Have you had the regular Lou Pepe gueuze? I have a bottle waiting for me, but I have yet to pick it up, and have never tried it. TIA.

That's just wrong. Doesn't the beer get too foamy?

Not a single Bud, Bud Light, Miller, Coors, etc... on this thread.

Does no one drink these mass-produced beers, or is everyone just too embarrassed to admit it?

Only if it's hot, there's nothing else to drink, someone else bought it, and I want a beer, good or not.

If given the choice between Bud, Bud Light or Coors, I'll opt for a glass of water.

Had a Fishtale Organic IPA a couple weekends ago that was pretty darn good!

But do you drink it?

we had a few bottles only for a friend who only drank that stuff. Once he went back north we would toss the stuff out.

I don't drink beer very often but when I do........

No beer here.
Its years ago since I had my last one. It was a Corsendonk Blond. I had to drink it because we stayed at the Corsendonk guesthouse....

Bell's isn't actually local to MN -- they're in Kalamazoo, MI. But, I drink Bell's (and Summit) when I visit MN because neither can be found in CA.

Just had a delicious New Glarus Dancing Man Wheat after an afternoon of yard work. New Glarus, out of Wisconsin, is in my opinion one of the 2 or 3 best domestic breweries out there.

Last night:

Delirium Tremens

Exactly.

I almost always have Sierra Nevada in the house. When Safeway have it in I stock up on Bridgeport IPA - bottle conditioned beer is best.

Life member of CAMRA - the Campaign for Real Ale.

Life's too short to drink bad beer, too.

I'm nuts about Short's Huma Lupa Licious, absolutely the most hopped beer I've ever tasted! Bell's Hopslam is a close second, though I always prefer their Two Hearted Ale.

The other beer option I keep around is North Coast Brewing's Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout.

Bitter beer is good beer.

Just had a Boddington's after not having any beer for a while...forgot how much I liked it.

If you like this one, track down the Schlafly Pumpkin. It's 8% and out of this world good. Best I've had.

1)Schlafly Pumpkin Ale
2)Dogfish Head Punkin
3)Shipyard Pumpkin Head

Tonight it was PBR. In a can

Maybe a little, but at 10.0% and 85 IBUs.....it really didn't matter too much.

Erdinger and Fosters.

It was awesome! I have drank a few of these over the years and every Lou Pepe has been great and I don't see it falling off anytime over the next 5-10yrs.

Really looking forward to tasting Bell's Oracle, their new Double IPA(friend scored me a 6pk from the brewery! ) I agree with you about the Short's brew, they are really cutting edge. Got a Growler of their Banana's and blow...fun brew!

Interesting name. Does it contain tetrahydrocannabinol?

Beers I've had recently:

Gritty McDuffs 21 IPA - A really nice citrusy, piney, floral IPA from a Maine microbrewery.

Red Oval Classic Lager - I picked this up at Trader Joe's for $2.99 per 6 in cans. Not bad for what it is and better than the Buds, Millers, & Coors of the world. I don't know if that is saying much though.

Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Ale - This was the last of the 2009 barleywine style ale that Sierra Nevada annually brews. This stuff is so viscous, thick and chewy that I can only drink one at a time. ABV on this is about 10%.

Last weekend- Labatt Blue
Also bought some Blue Moon Pumpkin Ale for drinking this weekend.

Guinness and Boulevard Double Wide IPA

I tried this when I went to Presque Isle, MI last month -- I thought it was pretty good. You should try the Moylan's Hopsickle, and get back to me about that "most hopped beer i've ever tasted" comment. The Hopsickle is the only beer i've ever thought had too much hops. Bitter beer is, indeed, good beer!!

Shame on you. We have much better than that stuff up here.

I was in Rochester and Buffalo and didn't feel like a Genny Cream Ale.

At work the Samuel Adams Octoberfest will put on tap soon so I cant wait to try it.

Coors Light... oh wait, that would be the "What Bottled Water Are You Drinking" thread. Naw, actually just had one of my standard everyday brews, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I'll be picking up some Stone, Bell's, and maybe some Dogfish Head later this week.

Shiner Bock last night.

One of the better straight American Pale Ale's you'll find. Brewed out of Atlanta.

A pretty decent lager, on the heavier and sweeter side. If you're an ale man, you will not like this.

The few times I've eaten there I wasn't impressed.

Today, watching the Trojans and drinking Guinness Stout.

Stone Levitation - something about this beer reminds me of mold mildew. I will stick to the pale ale.

Finnegans Irish Amber. Pretty mild.

estrella damm inedit

thanks gman!

After watching USC melt down, two double Glenlivet neat. the Guinness just wasn't dulling the pain....

Westvleteren 8.

Hacker Pschorr Oktoberfest Märzen at the Hacker Festzelt at Oktoberfest tonight...by the litre, of course.

My all-time favourite beer

INNIS & GUNN OAK AGED BEER

Aged 30 days in a whisky barrel

Gibby

Stone Ruination

Stopped by the brewery last week and had lunch and picked up some beer.

Food - I'd say above average for a brewery but just average for the price.

longboard from kona brewing company

Right now a Three Floyds Broodoo.

Last night, New Glarus Staghorn (their Oktoberfest)

same as it ever was:

blue point octoberfest
sixpoint sweet action
captain lawrence liquid gold

Anyone here like coffee beer?

I love Dieu du Ciel Péché Mortel . This is about the best coffee beer that I've had so far.

Just picked up a case of Sam's Octoberfest. I love October.

Had a taste of Buffet's Landshark, not sure it had any more meat on it than the Miller Lite that was served next to it....

Löwenbräu Helles at a Biergarten yesterday.

Everybody seems to go for the heavier, full-flavored beers. Not me. I don't drink much beer, but I go for crisp and thirst-quenching, mostly golden beers.

so much for taste...
