Beer?

- Start date
I prefer the micro brews over the bland national brands. Troegs in Harrisburg, Pa makes some very good beer as well as ABC, Appalachian Brwing Company. Only downside is the price. Troegs makes a good doublebock, Troegenator, and at 8.2% will knock you down after 10 or 12 bottles.
Funny, what I have on the boat isn't necessarily what I drink on land. Capt. Bill1 turned me on to Yuengling when he came for dinner and that has become the on-board mainstay, along with Rolling Rock and yes, Nattie Light, my favorite light beer, cost be dammed! . I have a one beer limit while we are underway.
Occasionally we'll pick up the Costco Mexican sampler if they have it. My wife will only drink beer from a bottle, no cans. On land I like a well poured Guinness and plain old Bud, occasional Heinie.

Some mighty good humor in this thread. Hogan, I like your approach to beer procurement, must try next summer (if there is one, it was 23 BELOW zero this morning)
Best beer ever tasted: Bos keun from Essen, Belgium. My wife brought a case home from Boston, 10% and wow!
Best available locally: Raging Bitch from Flying Dog brewery, 8%+ and pretty darn good
One of my favs and affordable: Flat Tyre, New Belgium brewery
Most commonly inbided: Mich Gold Light

I do some home brewing; it's been about 2 years though. While the beer is better than the cheap shat, it's not quite a good the better beers I can buy. It does offer a great value; decent beer at 5%+ alcohol with flavor at $12 a case. I gotta get back to doing it!

Al - Chico (Speedo's home) has a great Sierra Nevada brewery/restrurant right down the street from the speedway. Good food and good spirits.

Narragansett - yechhh. My cousin is one of the Narragansett Girls, and even SHE agrees it rates somewhere between Schlitz and Schaefers.
Now, the bar at Gritty McDuffs - I believe I'm thinking of the right place (trips to Portland end up being vague on details) - is, if memory serves me, where I found the upstairs bar to have an outstanding selection. Enough so that I felt obligated to explore the range of said variety, and ended up split in half, beam to drunk. Problem was, reason I found myself at that bar, was we had rented the upstairs for my grandmother's birthday party. [th]
Then again, maybe Gritty's was the place across the street that my cousins and I kept ducking out to (had to feed the parking meters, of course. Despite having parked in a garage.)

Beer like wine, must be matched to the occasion and the food. There is no "one beer".
That said, good beer for just hanging out on the boat?
Red Stripe Jamaican or Konigsbrau
With a nice schnitzel or wurst on or off the boat?
Krombacher Pilsner
Steak or Ribs, kabobs?
Sam Adams, upgrade? Sam Adams Oktoberfest..the ultimate? Frankhiem Alt
Mexican food?
Carte Blanca
There is one rule. Man rule in fact NO FRUIT IN BEER

Thanks, Al, I was hoping someone would get it right! 'Tis the season for Celebration Ale, my hands down all time favorite. One year they had it available at the pub for the entire year...someone found some kegs late in the season.
