OT:? Favorite Beers

[KG Erwin]

OK, I know a few of you may be beer drinkers, so let's list our favorites. Today I'm trying out a domestic bock from the hamlet of Shiner, Texas (pop 2070). It's not bad, and it amazes me how much variety is available here in WV.

I can go to my local convenience store and browse in their walk-in cooler. They have the usual suspects (Heineken, Guinness Stout, Beck's, etc), but once in awhile something unusual appears, like the above-mentioned Shiner Bock, manufactured by the Spoetzl Brewery (est 1909). Had to try it, as my wife's family is from Texas.

Anyway, my usual beer is the tried and true Bud Light, but I like variety. Guinness Stout is also a favorite, as is Michelob Amber Bock.

Does wargaming and beer-drinking go hand-in-hand? Yes it does.

Shiner's is the real deal, alright, much more "Euro," than most U.S. brands.

My favorite, though, is Rolling Rock, formerly of Latrobe, PA.

Excellent stuff with fresh-grilled, road-kill, and stuffed-jalapenos!

Stella Artois - I know it's a lager, but I hate beer! [:D]

[Arctic Blast]

Stella's not a bad one. I am also a fan of the Guinness, though that's one you have to be in the mood for.

I don't tend to get in to the 'big brand' North American beers. I like a few of the varieties of Sleemans and Big Rock we've got up here. Most Brit beers are pretty good. I quite like picking up something new whenever I can, and have found that Jamaica Stout, Sapporo, and Kenya Tusker are good. And Pacifico is a good 'chillin' on the deck with friends and BBQ steak' kinda beer.

Dos Equis, Corona, and Miller in a bottle. Don't drink as much beer as I used to.

I love JW Dundees Honey Brown!
 
McEwans Irish Ale is nummy. Blue Moon Belgian Wheat beer is good too.
 
Free beer is my favorite, though. [8D]

Killian's Irish Red
 
There are other dark beers I like too, but for some reason, I like Killian's taste better than most.
 
I really can't stand many of the weak beers that are on tap in many bars.

USAnians and English talking about beers.... [8|] Oh well...

Though I'm not a specialist, i'd argue than best beers are the special ones from Belgium. I like them blond, dark or white.
Lately, I'm found of Leffe (worldwide distributed) and the "Blanche de Namur" is the best white beer I know.

Jupiler is the best lager in the world, though it's less tasty since they changed the logo so that you don't see the balls of the bull anymore....

Well youy may have a point there.

But to truly enjoy the beer, we know that you have to eat a Brat along with it. Try a Johnsonville Bratwurst with a Leine's beer & you will then know one of the finer things in life.[&o]

throw in some that nice sharp cheddar and I am in heaven too!!

[Drex]

I have to give my town"s Sierra Nevada Pale Ale a mention here, although they have a whole line of stouts,porters,etc.

[Arctic Blast]

I third the motion for brats and beer! Or a BBQ steak.

[morvwilson]

I think I prefer the BBQ steak over the brats.
Also have to agree that free beer is the best! with one proviso, no scotch buy!
After that, a black and tan is like mother's milk to me! (guinness stout & Bass ale)
