favorite beer? :)
 

beer: we all love it. but we all seem to have different favorites...
what are some of your favorite beers? personally, i like heineken the best :)
i work at a bar sometimes and ive noticed there is no clear "most popular" beer. what do you guys drink/think?

Theres like ten posts on this...lol

I have no problem with repeat posts, the people deserve to know!
I have tried them ALL and I've found that different beers go with different meals or situations, but if someone says, "I'm buying!" I'm usually ordering a Dos Equis Special Lager. There's something to be said about German brewers making Mexican beer. It has just the right amount of quality, but no so much flavor that it overpowers you.
Guiness is good if I'm hungry.

you like heineken? tastes like fermented bananas. Anderson Valley boont amber from northern california is nectar. this comes from a professional.

moosehead, good canadian beer

i agree totally.

Harpoon IPA... gets better with each one

All time favorite is Bell's Oberon the summer brew from a microbrew in Kalamazoo MI.

I'll drink just about anything The Champagne of Beers is always a favorite Miller High Life and I usually like just about any Hefewiezen. (I have no idea if I spelled that right)

RainbowBright, you certainly chose the right brewery; Bell's stuff is amazing. My all time favorite is their Consecrator Dopplebock; it's expensive, but worth every cent. Unfortunately they only make the stuff a half month out of every year :P

I know this is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous, I'm very very aware of it, but....

I won't drink Molson anymore. I'm sorry I won't. I want my beer 100% Canadian. I KNOW it's the same beer. I KNOW nothing has changed, but.... thats me.

The prob? Well up here in the boonies its tough to get much else. Remember in Yellowknife a 6 pack is 15 bucks, so I'm relegated to Kokanee till I can move down south again. My fave used to be Extra Old Stock.

Sooooooooon I'll be drinking my microbrews again. Good god I'd sell my wife off for a pint of Palamino Pale.

It's a tie between Sierra Nevada and Guinness for me.

Australian beer James Boag's premium, or Tiger from singapore I think

Almost any British ale suits my fancy. Fuuler's ESB is awesome and you can always get a Newcastle. Can't go wrong with Guiness. Guess I like most micro brews that are darker. I've had that Kalamazoo stuff and it is good!

Anything kinda brown. New Castle, Bass. If I'm traveling to places that have lots of micro-brews, then I always try the house/local brew. Oregon is great for this as well as Colorado. I'm in NC, so we don't have squat for micro-brew. Not sure if this one qualifies as a micro, but Fat Tire, Ft. Collins, CO. is a great beer. My preferred choice, if I can get it.

DB.

import- bass ale
local- labatt 50, or moosehead.

Negro Modelo
Guiness
Newcastle
Leviathan

Mmm...beer.

My top 5 in no particular order...

Black Sheep Ale (UK)
Guiness (Ireland)
Coopers Sparkling (Australia)
Manns Original Brown Ale (UK)
and there are times when you just can't beat a Stella.

In fact pretty much anything cold, brown and fizzy works well

Grolsch, Heineken are good...

Really? No one else loves Dos Equis Special Lager? Wow.
Let's not forget Pilsner Urquell (go to Czech Republic NOW if you've never tried), germany's Jever Pilsner and Mahr's, and America's own Firestone Walker beer.

Guinness, followed closely by Newcastle.

Surprisingly enough, Guinness is lighter (has less carbs and calories) than Coors Light. Interesting bit of trivia for ya. ;)

I'll do a top 5...
1. Rolling Rock
2. Shiner Bock
3. Heineken Special Dark
4. Chimay Red Ale
5. Dos XX Lager

Ooooh. Shiner is good too - probably my favorite domestic.

Sam Smith Oatmeal stout. By far the best ever

Hear hear for Bell's Brewery. I've been drinking all of their products since 1983.

Import - Amstel Light.....awesome crisp taste

Local - Miller Light....I guess I'm kind of boring

Negra Modela, Corona, pretty much any hefe, and when I have to scrape the bottom of the barrel, Ill take MGD.

no votes for keiths? strange.

free beer, free beer that's my favorite brand
if I didn't have to buy it, its the best beer in the land
warm flat funky, it don't matter to me
the greatest beer in the whole wide world is the one you buy for me!

Corona.. Corona.. Corona..

:)

Corona! MGD if the place doesn't have Corona. Avoid Bud beers at all cost... I get a headache after 1 bottle. Can't stand it. I'm getting to the point where although Coors Light commercials look like a fun time, I'd much rather be in a Corona commercial. They're more my speed nowadays.

Overseas I like to drink Strongbow Cider, I love finding it on tap in little pubs.

the boont amber is a fine beverage. i havent had it since i left cali, and it is about the only thing i miss.

i prefer belgian--trappist--beers. my favorite is probably achel's double, but i also like orval a whole lot. chimay blue is great too.

I just had a Sam Smith "Nut Brown Ale" which was very, very good stuff. Smooth. At the same place (they have a lot of different beers) I had a Hooe Gaarden (Sp?). It's German, very light in color, and has a buttery, smooth flavor. Very nice. But again, the Sam Smith was awesome

urquel pilsner, jever. in that order

OK willravel!

Can't stand Sam Adams, Corona, or Belgian Cherry Banana Wheat Special Reserve Brew.
Give me Franziskaner Heffeweizen, Warrsteiner, or any dunkel from Bayern.
It's like a whole goddamn meal in a beer.
That said, when I'm looking for something that won't break the bank and tastes better than anything close to it's price, I've got three letters:
P B R
Pabst Blue Ribbon is God's gift to college students everywhere.

Black Star was my favorite ale. Crips, strongly hopped. Good stuff.

Celebrator was my favorite dark, being a good thick doppel boch. Strong hopping, good bitter chocolate/coffee tones.

Makes me wish I still drank ;-)

Killians Irish Red

Yuengling

guess I'm pretty boring too

BUDWEISER, it goes good with Harleys, and women

Killians is great, though I find it hard to drink, as it's brewed in colorado. Feels like I'm cheating.

Guiness and Harp. Great alone. A perfect combo. Mix half and half carefully for a "Black 'n' Tan" Harp on TOP of the Guiness.

Fantastic taste. Great darkness of Guiness combined with the smoother flavor of Harp's. I wouldn't try a black 'n' tan with other beers, cause it rarely comes out right. Ends up tasting like muddy beer.

i've seen alot of people choose corona for their favorites. i have a question for ya'll. do you drink it with or without the lime? to me, a beer that has to be drank with something else diminishes the quality of the beer. does the mexican beer not taste good without the lime? do you drink the other beers with lime? just curious

Tried Bell's Two Hearted Ale about a week ago and have quickly come to consider it one of my favorites. It's expensive, but if you get a chance I highly recommend it to everyone.
