bartshan-83 Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 As I've gotten older, wiser and snobbier, I've noticed my choice in beer has changed significantly. I'll still gladly shotgun a half-dozen Nattys at a tailgate or bong a few Stones...but I find myself (strangely) looking for a little more. So, I'm counting on some great suggestions here...I'll start: Yuengling - In my opinion, the perfect beer for any occasion. Not the world's best, but I can't ever think of a time where a Yuengling didn't sound like a great idea. Magic Hat #9 - I grew up taking family vacations to South Burlington, VT and my older buddies used to go to the Magic Hat brewery tours and bring back shitloads. One of my first loves....great flavor. Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA - Dogfish is pretty much a local brewery to me (Rehoboth, DE) and a great restaurant/bar to hang out at if you ever come down this way. Some of their beers are a little rough, but 60 Minute is legit. The 120 will take you down a few pegs. Chimay Red - Went to a Beer tasting/guzzling dinner at a local restaurant a year or so ago. They served four kinds of Chimay, all of which were great. I blacked out that night but I remember the Red stood alone. Shiner Bock/Blonde - One of my roommates in college was from south TX and he used to bring up a case of each at the start of each semester. Never lasted too long. Honorable Mentions: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat Blue Moon Guinness Coors Light (eh, why not?) I'm probably forgetting one or two...but I'm sure one of you will remember for me. Cheers! :blink:
The Dean Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Too many to mention right now, as I have to leave. But, my current "go-to" beer is Newcastle. Lighter than what I used to drink, but still has flavor. It's also widely available in this area (as is Yuengling...but not their Lord Chesterfield Ale, which I prefer). If they'd bump the alcohol to 9% or 10%, it would be perfect.
plenzmd1 Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 the quickest answer; whatever is my fridge! seriosly, I'm pretty flexible but have found my self drawn to the wheat ales over the last 9 months or so
Stl Bills Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Love Yuengling, wish you could find them out here. But being a Saint Louis boy I still love the Ol' Bud Light. Flame away.
cåblelady Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Killian's Red .....although all I have in the fridge right now is Beck's.
IDBillzFan Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 My mainstay is either Gordon Biersch Marzen or Bass Ale. Chimay Red for special occassions. I recently blew a keg and my guy at BevMo didn't have either available so I took his recommendation for a 5-gallon keg of Alesmith IPA (brewed in San Diego). It's a very interesting, hoppy beer of which I have grown very fond the past couple of days. Unfortunately, he failed to tell me that its alcohol content is 7.75%, which is a significantly higher (relatively speaking) than my Marzen, so I got unexpectedly lit the first night I tried it.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Bass Ale. I've tried just about everything and keep coming back to it.
molson_golden2002 Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Good question, I've never really thought about it
buckeyemike Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Killian's Red .....although all I have in the fridge right now is Beck's. And I just bought Killian's today! Hey, sometimes I just need a beer.
LewPort71 Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 No love for Genny Cream Ale ??? Killians Red,,, and Guinness.... are both in the fridge and soon to be liberated from the bottle... Cheers !!
The Poojer Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 my favorite beer is my next one.....way too many beers out there to pick a favorite..but legend brewing company, richmond, va is waaaaaaaaay up there As I've gotten older, wiser and snobbier, I've noticed my choice in beer has changed significantly.
