Thread: Advice on Beer!

I just had the new Sam Adam's Revolutionary Rye. While I find most of their products to be pretty blah, this one is a winner. It might be my favorite Sam Adams ever. I'm not sure if it's classified as an IPA but it has a nice rye flavor and a big hop finish. If you can find it try it.

+1 to checking out beeradvocate.com. If you click on the "beer 101" link on the left side of the page there are links to learn about nearly every facet of beer and beer paraphernalia.

I think I'm going to have to contradict all the advice on finding a brew pub or microbrewery beer that you like. I would first find a beer from a larger name brand (coors, budweiser, miller, or something similar) that I like and is available everywhere you go. I dont know how much you travel but when you do you probably wont be able to find your favorite microbrew. I'm not saying that I dont enjoy microbrews, quite often actually, but sometimes you reallly just want to enjoy a beer you know you will like rather than experimenting with a beer you've never heard of before.

then again sometimes it is nice to try a beer you never even heard of just because you can.
