Thread: Beer

I dont know how many of you drink but I imagine quite a few of you do. In which case...

What is your favorite beer?

I have only been to the States once over the age of 21 and I ended up drinking gallons of Miller Genuine Draft, but I generally prefer heavier beers like Guiness and such that seemed to be largely unavailable in the US.

The only time I like a lighter sort of beer is when I'm hot and thirsty, like after mowing the lawn. As a general rule, the heavier the better for me. My #1 would have to be Vitamin G (Guinness). A few of my other favorites are Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine style ale, Sierra nevada Porter, McGuires Stout (local), and nearly anything from the New Belgium Brewery in Ft. Collins, CO, (they brew Fat Tire, etc). ................Jeff

I choose my daily brew like I do my razor. I like to have a nice variety of styles to choose from. I love good microbrewed IPA's from Stone, Bear Republic (Racer 5 Yum), etc. I also love all types of Belgian Ales. But then again, a Czech Pilsner is always satisfying. Oh, and Guiness; don't get started on that one. Sure, a lowly Corona or Tecate on a sweltering day is perfect for girl watching. And sometimes I have to have a plain old Bud.

I too like the heavier beers, and the hoppier, the better. Right now there's some of my home brewed IPA sitting in a keg at the house.

Don't think that Miller is the only thing goin' here in the USA. There is a thriving microbrew industry. In fact, there are so many good micros to choose from that I would rank the US second only to Belgium in brewing. If You like beer, check out this site;

I also love homebrewing, but havn't had a chance to do any for the past year because my life has been in such a state of flux. I'm finally getting settled in here in the Northwest so I'll be brewing again soon.

For everyday drinking (well maybe every other day) I am pretty easy to please...anything that is not Budweiser...I just prefer beers with a heavier taste. My favorite is Guiness!

So many beers to choose from, I cannot pick just one.

Like Ben says, there are so much wonderful beer out there.
Belgian, German, Dutch and British. Lots and lots of good quality brew.
One principle of mine is to have my beers properly brewed.
To me that means 4 ingredients, and nothing more. Just like the German purity act states

A nice Guinness Stout goes with just about everything.
