I love this brewery. My favorite is Maudite, though. They serve it from a tap at a local bar, and the bottles don't do the draught any justice.

Also, my favorite beer right now is Franziskaner, a hefe-weissen from Munich.

G'day all,
down under here is West Aussie we have a number of micro breweries, ie Bull Ant, Red Back, and more, nice variety of dark ales, though my preference is the Coopers Lager and Draught that I make at home from kits supplied by Coopers. Good rain water, and most of my home brew is at least 12 months old before I drink it. Home brew I reckon, needs at least 3 months aging.
Even my mates don't cringe when I bring out a few long necks after roping pracitice !!


Cheers all

Gordon Ps I had a few Millers from the USA last night and was pleasantly surprised.

Hello,

I just thought I would chime in a bit. I just tried Delirium Tremens for the first time, and I honestly might never look at beer the same way again. I do have to say that I am sipping on a Sierra Nevada summerfest right now and loving it, though. I also just picked up a Dogfish Head Red and White that I am very excited about.

Aside from the regular stuff available around here (Bud, Miller, Shiner), my Dad and I enjoy a case of Newcastle Brown Ale or George Killian Irish Red.

There was the batch I made at home (Pale Ale) that we all loved but still waiting to find a shop/gear to upgrade some things before I do that again.

For all you guys up here in the Pacific Northwest, Henry Weinhard's seasonal beers (which I think I may have mentioned on this very thread) are usually a great bargain compared to the more top-shelf micros out there. The Summer Ale is their newest release, it's a Kolsch, and a mighty tasty one at that. It's worth checking out.

Unfortunatly for all you IPA fans out there, they appear to have dropped their IPA from the line-up. It's a shame because it was a very good bargain. Some may scoff that there are better IPAs out there, but not at $9 for a twelve-pack.

They haved a Belgian style wheat beer that I haven't tried yet. I'll let you know when I do, though.

Guinness, Adnams, Thwaites (Any) , Brakspears (Any) in that order

if I'm having folks over and need to impress them I'll get a nice import like Kirin or Chimaz (which I'm spelling wrong). another good local beer for me is St. Arnold.

best beer I've ever had was called Blackened Voodoo, can't get it anymore, the brewery was destroyed by katrina. hopefully they will get back in the business.

Dixie beer is being brewed up north until they fix the Dixie brewery. Blackened voodoo is some good stuff, as well as the Dixie Lager. Ive been to a bar across the street form The Brewery. Worst Neighborhood in New Orleans. Damn pitty and a shame about that brew house getting looted like that.

My favorites
EGGENBERG Schloss. Hopfen Konig- Austria
BITBURGER- Germany
Both of these beers are pilsner lagers. Bright and very clean- Like Driven Snow!
mmm- Getting thirsty/ Ich Habe Bierdurst!

This is going to be difficult. If I'm out for a few pints, Guinness is the beverage of choice. Some other favorites that also happen to be high alcohol are: Duvel, Petrus Flemish Sour, Delirium Nocturnum and Tremens, Roquefort(sp.) 10 and St. Bernardus ABT 12. All very delicious.
