Whats everyones favorite Beer?
 

I am deep into brews but my favorites are German. I love Becks dark, Kostriker, Warsteiner, Jubel. Whats everyone else into?

I really like IPA's & Pale Ale's..... for me, nothin beats a Mirror pond Pale Ale. Made by the Descutes brewery in Bend Oregon.

i love sleeman honeybrown lager.....it is the best by far. I tried this new one the other day though call La fin du monde, something like that and it was absolutly horribe.

Granville Island's honey lager, Pyramid's Apricot Ale, Red Hook's blonde ale, and Moose Drool Nut Brown Ale. Non-microbrewery, I'd go for a Molson Canadian any day of the week :) Mmm, Molson and hockey. Now there's a combo.

Moondoggy, it is La Fin Du Monde, from Canada. It's probably not for everybody, because it's kind of sweet.. It really depends on your mood and what you're eating. I think it's fantastic. You do have to be careful, though, because it's 9% ethanol. That brewery makes at least 2 other brews available in the States. They're worth a shot, just for experimentation's sake.

I went to college in Carlisle, PA where there is this really neat English-style pub. You could get mixed six-packs for 50% of the normal cost.

I found some really great beers there. Gosser Dark from Austria, Lion Stout from Sri Lanka, Celebrator Doppelbock... mmm.. beer...

Ahhh.. Wonderful stuff.

I've been on this molsen ice kick for a while, but I think its about time to change...... Its getting to have too much of an after taste.

German beer is the best.

sleeman's cream ale

coor's light

warstiener

depends on who brings over what.

Homemade Mead, brewed by someone who knows what the hell they are doing.... I've blacked out many times drinking way to much of my friend's mead... his ales were to die for and sometimes you did.

LordEden: its funy that you bring up Mead my Adult Development teacher is real deep into the stuff and once I take his final we(my girlfriend and I) are going to go try it with him

Normal draft: Grolsch
´Special´ Beer: De Koninck Cuveé

Everyone who said Fin du Monde:

Yes.

I like just plain old Budweiser, if I have to drink beer, that is.

okay... this one probably doesn't count.. but when I was in the philippines, I drank warm San Miguel, US$.05/bottle at a tittie bar with all the ice you wanted to chill them up. Now that was some good beer. Everytime I drink one.. it's like a stroll down mammary lane.

Just Budweiser. Red label.

For something different - I like the Pete's Oktoberfest and the various pale ales that are brewed in the summer.

Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale
Red Hook ESB
Budweiser, (it is the king of beers)
Pacifico
anything that is free...

BUD ICE

Still not technically old enough to have a favorite beer (have another half month to go on that one), but I've got to say that guiness is my favorite; there's something wrong with a beer if you can look through the glass and see the other side :)

Davik, I like the way you think. An exception in my book is Tsing Tao from China. Tasty.

Carnivore, there are definitely some tasty paler beers, sapporo is fairly good, and for standing around grilling in the summer it's hard to beat a corona but a slice of lime, but for pure taste, black is best.

ooh, I forgot about the Corona. Now there's a beer I look forward to in the summer.

Molson Canadian and Alexander Keith's India pale ale.Having one right now.

There are too many of the wonderful German brews to name here - they're all great.

For a nice, cheery house beer, Heineken has always been good; I'm enjoying Pilsner Urquell at the moment though.

I usually prefer Guinness when I can get it on tap.

A mixture of Tooheys Old and Tooheys New. Called a bruiser I think.. :D

Call me a simpleton but i like Bud Light. So sue me.

Sapporo, a Japanese beer you can find at most good liquor stores is the king of beers as far as I'm concerned. Smooth as can be with mellow hops and just a hint of bite to round out the flavor.

Guinness, Bass, or Harp in the winter
Ice cold Corona in the summer

I'm a sucker for Kilkenny. Good ale!
But for serius drinking i usually drink some cheap swedish lager..

Molson Canadien and Hockey! I agree! I like all kinds of beer, it's a mood thing I guess. Some favorite's to note:
Bass Ale,
Red Hook;
Dos Equis;
Corona;
Anchor Steam;
Genesee Bock;
But, Molson is definately better!

I drink only Lagers and the very odd Ale. I mostly by Alexander Keiths or Moosehead - both Canadian.

Quite often I'll also brew my own.

Man... I need a beer now!

I'd have to say some of my favorites are the Vermont Micro Brews.
Magic Hat, Long Trail, and Otter Creek just to name a few. They all are great!

Stella Artois & Guinness

How could I have forgotten the damn Milwaulkee's Best?!
Jest Kidden!

Amen -- Lucky you!

I also agree with philzilla and love both Stella Artois & Guinness. Also enjoy Sleeman's.

mmmm.... Bud
For a change Corona w/ a slice of Lime!
Usually thats all thats in the fridge.

Pack, yep Kilkenny is nice beer/ale? I like it, but have a hard time waiting for it to settle. :) - All for instant gratification.


Also nice one is Hoegarden, cloudy sweet beer, but I'm sure it keeps fermenting in your stomach 'cause after three I'm pretty fuzzy.

had Pilsner Urquell a couple nights in a row at a bar in Denver. Thats pretty good stuff.

Budweiser though, just a good solid beer.

What ever one someone pluncks down in front of me.

Honestly, my taste buds are so shot I only taste the first one (barely) and then after that is just smooth sailing.

Makes cooking for me rather easy ;)

This thread is making me very very thirsty ;)

The second stout I helped make, and the best stout I've ever had.

Close second to Old Dominion Brewery's Oak Barrel Stout.

Actually, Budweiser is a liquid. :D
Maybe Bud Ice would be a solid.
(They ought to make Bud Dry Ice for the extra cold market.)

Try Tzingu, Brazillian black beer for a beer you can sculpt. I like the stuff, but most of my buddies, even the beer savvy among them, think that this is how Brazil gets rid of what they dredge out of the Amazon's shipping channel.

EKU 28 Kulminator is also right on that line betweem liquid and solid.

Anything from Beligium...well, not anything, but I'm a big beer snob. Spent a week touring breweries and bars in Belgium a few years back. The Brugge Triple (sp?) was probably the fav on that trip. Back in the states I have to say I can't find much that surpasses any of the products from Stoudt's brewery. Many contenders tho.

I like Bass, Harp, & Guinness. Amberbock isn't bad if its really cold and Corona is a great summer beer.

It's a toss-up between:

Guinness
Newcastle
Bass
Murphy's

Shiner Bock, made in the little brewery in Shiner, TX. Look for it in your imports section of your favorite liquer store.

I can drink that stuff for *DAYS* on end. I love it

Alexander Keith's - nothing else ... unless it's free :)

kokanee beer for me

Franziskaner Hefe-Weisse----

Made in Germany, its a wheat beer, by FAR the best beer you can drink. Pour in a tall glass w/a couple inches of head, enjoy!! I have been around, dranks lots of beer (military life), and this the best!!

Guinness, Beamish, & Murphy's for Stouts.

My favorite beer on earth may just be DAB(Germany). Unbelievable on tap, still great in a bottle. An Austrian brew caleed Stiegl is great, give that a shot if you can find it. Stella Artois is great stuff too...

For Domestics, good old Miller High Life is a man's beer. Drink it and feel tough...

pilsner urquell right now

Moosehead, Alexander Keiths, Steamwhistle, Heineken, Upper Canada Lager, Labatts 50

Finally Yuengling made it to the South.

My favorite beer is FREE BEER, but if I'm paying, depends on the mood
Rolling Rock
Kirin Ichiban
Corona - a must if you are at the beach!!!

Guiness all the way followed by Bass Ale, Dos Equis, and Sam Adams original.

Has anyone else had the Smirnoff Ice Triple Black?? I find it really good. Course, I usually end up with Coors Light on drinking nights, but kicking back with a Triple Black is a great way to unwind.

Newcastle! Poddington's is okay, Michelob is pretty underrated.

good canadian beers
 

one of my favourites is Moosehead, next in line is probably Brick.

as for imports, I'm kinda partial to Stella Artois

I enjoy most beers I can't see through.

That includes Guinness, which is my staple because it is delicious and affordable.

Cascade sparkiling pale ale
Victoria bitter are the best I have had but since I cant get them stateside I drink Bud/ Bud Light

BBC aka Berkshire Brewing Company

http://www.berkshirebrewingcompany.com/

Brewed in South Deerfield MA

Tsing Tao, Sapporo, Tiger, but above all Carlsberg, probably the best beer in the world :D But then I'm Danish, so I'm biased... I like a good Murphy's or Guiness once in a while, to. But you have to be hungry to have room for any amount of that stuff...

Beck's and Kokanee for me!

Alexander Keith's is my standard everyday beer (well, not every day, but you get the idea). But nothing beats a six of Corona on a hot summer afternoon.

I also have lots of fun by buying a bunch of individual bottles or cans from all over the place, I have fond (although hazy) memories of Creemore Springs (Ontario microbrewery) and some stuff called "Taiwan Beer" surprisingly good for 1.30$ / can

Sleemans is good, Summer Lightning is a good beer also

for a summer mainstream lager, gotta go with the CORONA (with lime of course) A quality beer to have out in the sun

<i>'But nothing beats a six of Corona on a hot summer </i>afternoon.' i see you beat me to it Rockzilla. Can't beat the corona in the summer!

Nothin too extraordinary for me... pretty much Bud Ice is all I drink.

Duvel, Palm, Grolsch, Verboden Vrucht & Guinness.

coming from england, we're a little spoiled for choice (not a bad thing!) but some goodies are:
old speckled hen, elephant beer (surprisingly drinkable for 8%), guinness (of course), boddingtons, john smiths extra smooth, waggledance
damn! all this talk of beer has made me right thirsty!

Haha, reminds me of the Homer Simpson Quote "There's nothing I love more than a cold beer on a hot christmas morning" ...or something like that.

rockzilla or the simpsons quote when homer is laying in his hammock as ned comes over to talk to him. 'Can't a man just sit back and enjoy a beer on a wednesday morning in peace?!'

killains irish red or any good red beer from micro brewers. call it a hobby.

Mmmmmmm... anchor steam!! that's what god drinks on sunday.

i wasn't gonna drink today, but i'm gettin' the urge for some good beer. thanks for the post!!

Snake Bite!

Guinness and Hard Cider (funny, but the cider has more alcohol content than the guinness)

Keystone light!!! College student on a budget, nuff said :crazy:

Right now my favotites are Holy Moses, Bell's special double cream stout, and the occasional Dogfish World Wide Stout (24% abv)

Kelt!

But you can't get it 'stateside... :(

I love the taste of an ice cold Dos Equis, especially when I'm in the club. Best mexican beer IMHO.

James Squire is a local boutique beer in Sydney... definitely a fav.
also got to put in a good word for Crown Lager, and Hahn Premium.

but a cold Corona on a hot summers day is pretty damn near perfect.

As far as mexican beers go, I dig the Negro Modello. Some Dos Equis ale goes down pretty smooth as well, when I'm in a 'lighter' mood.

Heineken is my favourite. There are also a lot of Canadian beers that I really like..

Most of my fav's were already mentioned. Anything from Belgium (lambics, Corsendonk, Chimay), Young's Double Chocolate Stout, Troeg's Hop-back (it's a local Micro brewery and it is an extremely hoppy ale), Franzikaner Hefe, Hackor-Schorr Dunkle.

But I have started to make my own beer and I'm having fun drinking and experimenting with that.

Yuengling's Lager is like manna from heaven.

Well when I drink beer I'm planning on getting shit-faced and there is no better way to get stewed in a hurry than good old Molson XXX. MMMM 7.3% alcohol goodness. Of course Mike's hard lemonade is quicker still but we're talking beer so.....

Stella Artois. Beeeeyoootiful!

A good homebrew, hands down is best! The family porter kicks ass! One version calls for 2lbs. brown sugar and I only had about 1lb. so I goosed it up with some local honey, man did that shit blow you away! Tasted great too!
Favorite imports:
Newcastle
Bass
Murphy's
Harps
Wartsteiners(sp?)

Micobrews:
Anchor Steam Porter(a must try!) Goes down like silk!
Kalamazoo Stout

The tap beers in Europe are incredible!

But my absolute favorite beer is my next one!

I've never tried this but it gives me an idea for my next batch of homebrew!

I had a hempen ale once. It was really good. I can't remember the name of it.

I've been drinking Corsendonk all night. yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

My favorite beer is the one somebody else paid for.

i loved Stella Artois like crazy untill i drank way to much of it and fell through my best friends christmas tree, after that is Kilcanney(sp?)

i dont like beer but i enjoy:
Yuengling, Becks, Corona (w/lime).

my choices for malt liquor are:
Olde English
Steel Reserve* *(much higher alcohol content)

Anything Canadien, but I think

http://www.beer.com/ca/img/be/bad/be_labattbluenew.jpg
is still my favorite.

Red Cap (love the stubbies)
Corona (good for Summer)
Maudit and Trois Pistols
most Belgian beers (not Stella though)
Guiness (less calories than a glass of skim milk!)
Grasshopper (another good one for the summer)

Yeungling....oh yes.

I like Bellhaven, but I drink cheap yellow beer from tall-boy cans.

Bud light and occasionally Rolling rock and Killigans Irish Red

shiner kicks ass! the fact that is sold among imports outside of texas is a further reminder that texas is still considered by many to be a nation unto itself.

after years of being a beer snob, i am starting to appreciate bud more and more. ice cold in longnecks or in a can.

but i love pale ales.... bass and sierra nevada are my favs. pilsners are good too.

anyone ever heard of a Turkish beer called Efes? It's damn tasty. There is also a beer from the Dominican Republic called Presidente that is awesome. the bummer is that these are all cheap beers in their native states but are sold as premium imports stateside.

damn, i meant to pick up some yuengling when i was in pittsburgh last weekend. i can't find it here in nowhereville, OH.

/off to buy some sierra nevada pale ale to satisfy the beer urge this thread gave me

Hoegaerden, Duvel, and all six of the beers our beloved monks brew (chimay, westmalle, ...)

Favorite beer is made by a monk
 

Chimay is fantastic! I don't know if I would go as far and say that it is my favorite, but it does reach high marks with me. I would be fine with just Chimay on a desert island too!

Close runner up is Anderson Valley Boont Ale!

I used to enjoy the Chili Beer which had a nice hot pepper inside each bottle.

Check out: http://www.chimay.be/

Heinikin

I like the IPA style, Summit is my local brewery and theirs is pretty darned good. Easily one of my all time favorites.

I just tried a beer called Hazed and Confused out of Oregon I think, but I don't recall the brewery. Darned good, it is dry hopped so it has the hop nose and flavor without a ton of bitterness, so it isn't as harsh as an IPA for the non-IPA lover, but gives a good hop flavor.

Other favorites, Guiness in Ireland. Sam Smith Oatmeal Stout in the parking lot at a Dead show, and on a hot hot summer day, a good hefeweizen with lemon. Nothing says refreshing like that!!!
