Re: Favorite beer thread
This time of year I like Lazy Magnolia Southern Pecan,Cooper's Sparkling Ale, Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock, Skullsplitter. When it warms up, I'll start on Ayinger Brau-Weisse, Paulaner Hefeweizen, Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat, Leibinger Seeradler classik. Another good summer beer was Shiner Smokehaus. The hops were mesquite smoked. It was damn good but the bastards stopped making it
I've probably tried 250-300 different beers and I'm always looking for a new one.

Best beer I ever had was Mack beer from Norway; I can't find it anywhere - I am going to try to get the Aas's Bok.

Re: Favorite beer thread
Avery's (Boulder, CO) IPA is my go to for a good all around beer.
For special occasions, their Maharajah's IPA is the flat best IPA out there. And I was raised on the stuff.

Also had a beer flavored with a touch of cinammon in Tallin, Estonia which for the life of me I cannot remember. Enjoyed many stone mugs at Ole Hansa resturaunt.

Re: Favorite beer thread
it has been mentioned twice already in this thread - so I'll say it again.
you like dark beers? ready to move beyond basic stout? try the Russian Imperial Stouts.
Old Rasputin is very good, but there are others out there. I'd find the one made locally, as fresh beer is best.

Re: Favorite beer thread
I guess I'm just a broke dick, I drink what I like and lately there's nothing that tastes better to me after working outside than a Bud Light Lime.
Flame Away!!!!!
My uncle got me hooked on it when we went on a fishing trip over in Arkansas two summers ago. It was 106 degrees outside and we would go out in the boat in the morning, catch our limit of trout in about 20 minutes and then sit on the dock the rest of the day and drink beer. It was so hot out we would dunk 5 gallon buckets into the river and stick our feet in the bucket of ice cold water for "air conditioning" and have a wet rag around our necks. Pop a top on a BLL that's been sitting in salted ice for a few days and it was like being in antartica!

Re: Favorite beer thread
Grumpy Old ale from the Leavenworth Wa brewery. Only seasonal though. Obsidian Stout from the Deschutes brewery would be second choice.

Re: Favorite beer thread
Almost forgot, when in Russia:
It's listed as a malt liquor, but tastes closer to a Scottish Ale. Not nearly as offensive as what comes to mind from the American experience of malts.

Re: Favorite beer thread
Right now it is Sierra Nevada Celebration ale: http://www.sierranevada.com/beers/celebrationale.html
If in Austin, give 512 IPA a try. Its my local favorite with Real Ale's Lost Gold IPA being a close 2nd.
Stone's Oaked Arrogant Bastard and Ruination IPA are other favorites.

Re: Favorite beer thread
Bristols Laughing Lab is far and away my favorite.
I do also like the Left Hand Brewing Milk Stout on-tap. I'd bet it's the Nitro version, but I'm not certain. I did try the regular Milk Stout bottled version and didn't like it nearly so much.

Re: Favorite beer thread
Shiner Boc is my favorite. I just wished I lived somewhere I could get it.
But I'll be spending some time in DFW soon and will try to get enough to satisfy me for a while.
I like Amber Boc from Michelob, Yuengling, hell even a Bud Light will do.

Re: Favorite beer thread
Stouts and porters are at the top for me. Bourbon County Stout is a must try for anyone that likes stouts. At 15% ABV it could almost be considered a barley wine over a beer and it's excellent! It's aged in bourbon barrels before bottling and calling it dark is an understatement.

Re: Favorite beer thread
Shiner Bock, but I also heavily support Coors Brewing Co. by buying their bullets.
But there's only two kinds of beer; the kind I buy and the kind someone else buys and I'll drink em both

Newcastle! Has to be on draft, not bottles.
Good LORD is that tasty stuff. Dark and creamy without a bitter aftertaste.
For some reason, I cannot drink Anheiser Busch products; they give me a frickin' headache. No problem with most anything else.
