Beer

I am relatively new to this forum. But, I have noticed a lot of similarities among us. We have talked about who we think the hottest woman is, favorite mods, fun things to do with the Titan, etc. Yet (after doing a search of course) I haven't found a thread about what everyone's favorite beer is. Only seems like the next logical step to me!

I start with Guinness

anything remotley related to beer for me.

I make my own. I have hop vines growing next to my house. As far as my favorite, that would be hard to pick. I have a 2 year old barley wine that packs quite a punch, a very highly hopped India Pale Ale, and a nice wheat beer with an interesting bananna-clove scent from the esters produced by the yeast.

Of the store bought stouts, Guinness is pretty good. They actually pasteurize ("born on" beer dating should really state "killed on" as that is when they kill the yeast) some soured beer and add it for that little bit of sour twang that is hard to duplicate in home brewed stout. The Guinness in Ireland has quite a bit less alcohol content that the U.S. version because of the alcohol tax in Ireland.

As far as store bought beer, I guess I would have to support a local Colorado brewery by picking New Belgium Trippel.

Well, I have a number of them, but will start with the basics:

hefeweizen: Erdinger Hefe (German)
amber: Fat Tire
dark: Moose Drool (Big Sky Brewing Company)
India Pale Ale (IPA): Boulevard Pale
Domestic: Buuuuuuuud and Rainier

1. Cold Beer
2. Free beer
3. More beer
4. All of the above

New Belgium makes a lot of good beers--Trippel, Fat Tire.
Heineken is probably my favorite pils. Or Palm. That is a pretty decent Dutch beer.

Yeah, but one has to be realistic. I can't get a hold of good beer all of the time (example: NFL games). Besides, those two beers aren't that bad. Have you had a Rainier lately? Surprisingly tasty....especially with some tomato juice. yummmmmmmm

I haven't had a Rainier in awhile. Do you mix tomato juice in the beer? That is pretty wild.

They do that a lot here in KS. I haven't seen it done until I got here. I think it's a waste of beer. Just my opinion though.

ruauman2 · 06-28-2005, 05:59 PM

Here is mine...

smoothTitan · 06-28-2005, 06:17 PM

shiner bock here when i can find it, and bud light in the aluminum bottles.

It depends on the situation. For instance:

If I'm with friends at a nice party I'll drink the tasty stuff.

If I'm Nascar'n it in somebodies garage I'll drink a rice beer that I can drink all afternoon without passing out.
