MdKnightR Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I started this post because of the one raging over that nasty drink known as coffee. I know that beer causes a similar discussion. What is your opinion about beer? Do you hate it, like it, or consider yourself a connoisseur? Personally, I consider myself a connoisseur. Dark beers are best. The best is undoubtedly Guinness Extra Stout! Opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lion54 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Just give me a Budwiser and I'm happy. Though I would like to drink at a genuine Irish pub one day. If I'm ever in Ireland... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 A) Abita Turbodog B) Abita Amber C) Becks' (anything they make...yum) D) Bass Pale Ale E) Michelob Amber Bock I choose "F" all the above (in that particular order) In fact, I'm enjoying an "A)" as we speak..err type As far as opinions go, common sense... don't go out and get all 'stupid' on the stuff. Drink it slow, in moderation, and enjoy it with a group of friends, some good music, some good food and maybe a billiards game or two and call it a good time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patomon5 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I gone thru several beers in my lifetime. Started with Bud, went to Moosehead, then Pabst Blue Ribbon, foster's, Heineken, Miller, St.Paulie girl, (this is in order by the way), Franziskaner, poppy jasper, Molson, Guiness, back to heineken, now I drink Bud lite. This is over a period of 19 years. This does not include samplers and the beers mentioned were drank for at least a period of 3 months or more before moving on.

Aash Li Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Beer seems to be a mostly guy-drink I think... I dont really care for beer, Id rather drink the harder stuff like vodka, whiskey, schnapps (ok so thats not really hard), and the occasional mixed-drinks like fuzzy-navel or sex-on-the-beach. I like that hard cider, with the gopher on the can... or it might be a beaver. But, as for beer, I tortured my cousin with Guiness on his first time out drinking... curiously, hes not much for drinking anymore... wonder why... Oh and Baileys!! I love that stuff, but its so damn expensive!! >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One has to wonder how you could drink Guinness for a period of at least 3 months and be able to drink that watered down excuse for a beer known as Bud Light. I was thinking about Bud (all brands thereof) when I listed the last option on the poll above. Let me know when you come to your senses, then we will go grab a cold one sometime. Beer seems to be a mostly guy-drink I think... I dont really care for beer, Id rather drink the harder stuff like vodka, whiskey, schnapps (ok so thats not really hard), and the occasional mixed-drinks like fuzzy-navel or sex-on-the-beach. I like harder stuff as well. I was on a Captain Morgan kick for a while. As for schnapps not being hard, I guess you haven't had Ice 101 Peppermint Schnapps. 101 proof breath freshener! WOW! Ever hear of a tornado? It is half a shot of Ice 101, then slowly fill the rest of the shot glass with Jagermeister. It spirals like a tornado. A few of those and you are gone! But I agree with ChaiNz. You should drink in moderation. I learned that the hard way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do Canadians even know what beer is? J/K I was just trying to pick the countries most known for their beer. Canada is more renown for its whiskey. I happen to like Crown Royal, among others.

stingerhs Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 well, i find it hard enough to stay awake without drinking something that's gonna keep me awake, much less chug down something that's gonna put me out for hours on end. well, that and i am underage at the moment. for now, i think i'll just stick with coffee.

tk102 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Most of my favorite beers come from the USA: Deschuetes Brewery, New Belgium Brewing Company, Sam Adams Brewing, Rogue Brewery, Sierra Nevada, and Pyramid. I generally prefer lagers, ales. @stingerhs: here's one for you. This brewery is located about 3 hours from me, but I remember when it was located only 10 miles away...

Aash Li Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Thats because American beer is pasturized for some silly reason... so it looses all its biteand you end up with beer-flavoured water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk102 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Guiness for me. American beer is like water. Canadian beer is in between... Unfortunately most of the world thinks of Budweiser when they think of American beer. And I would certainly agree with you. However here in the northwest U.S. there is abundance of microbreweries (and, for stingerhs, independent coffee roasters). Prime if you come by Oregon, I'll buy you a pint of some Shakespeare Stout in an effort to mend the poor reputation of USA beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Micro's don't count though. It's the major mainstream beers. Plus you can always find micro's to have a better taste than mainstreams in nearly any country. House's at a pub will most definitely be better than any old factory beer.

MdKnightR Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 The only major brand of American beer (and not the micros) that is acceptable is Samuel Adams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
