The 'favorite beer' thread.

[KenC]

Don't gimme any of that 'no personal threads' bullshit. This isn't one of those sissy-ass 'marital status' ones. This is a man's thread! 8)

I'm always down for trying a new beer or three, so I thought I'd see what you guys like.

The instructions are simple: list your favorite beer and tell something about it.

PS. Don't shit in this thread (I will moderate hardcore on your asses).



My Favorite:



Beer: Dead Guy Ale
Brewery: Rogue Brewery (Newport, OR)
Description: "Dead Guy is a German-style Maibock made with Rogue's proprietary "PacMan" ale yeast. It is deep honey in color with a malty aroma, rich hearty flavor and a well balanced finish. Dead Guy is created from Northwest Harrington, Klages, Maier Munich and Carastan malts, along with Perle and Saaz Hops."

Interesting history:
"In the early 1990s Dead Guy Ale was created as a private tap sticker to celebrate the Mayan Day of the Dead (November 1st, All Souls Day) for Casa U Betcha in Portland, Oregon."

Summertime...

So Corona has been the weapon of choice lately. And don't forget some lime! ;)

Or Guiness. Met that when I went to Ireland a few year's back! First full beer I ever had!
Mmmmmm

EDIT:

When I want to get completely trashed, my friends and I drink Coors Light.

I saw that at the store today when I was picking up som Arrogant Bastard Ale. I'll have to give it a try.

[Ryan Stewart]

Guinness plain and simple. The hardest part is finding people who can pour it right.

If I want a "light" beer I drink Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat. Its a local brewery so its fresh wheat and damn fresh beer.

If you can see through it you are getting ripped off.

[Rob]

$.99 for 24oz PBR, rip off my ass

ROBSON STREET HEFEWEIZEN
Summer Limited Release
This unfiltered wheat ale goes well with sizzling summer days, so find yourself a patio and pull up a chair. Enjoy Hefeweizen chilled in a tall, slim glass, and although our Brewmaster may scoff, a lemon wedge is the perfect accessory to the natural fruit flavours of this refreshing beer.

Let's see Yuengling when I have money and the good old Natty or Beast when I don't, so mostly Natty or Beast.

Pete's Wicked Summer Ale should be hitting the shelfs pretty soon so that's gonna be the "when I got the cash" beer.

The 2 greatest beers on earth:

Samuel Smiths - any variety
Fuller's - either the ESB or Pale Ale

Drink a lot of local beer from Copper Brewery and Paper City.

Where can you get them? Are they local Mass brews?

[modifiede30]

Samuel Smiths and Fullers are both English ales. Copper Brewery and Paper City are MA, at least I know Paper City is (Holyoke). You should be able to find them at any "good" beer store that has a decent collection. Paper City can be hard to find but Copper is around at most stores. Sam Smiths is easy but its expensive ($10 / 4 pack). Fuller's is about the same price but you get 6. Fullers is harder to find. Fuller's actually makes a Vintage Ale that's oak aged for a few years before distribution. I have a collection of 3 that start in 1999. Expensive ($30/3 pack), but well worth it (they're also liter bottles).
