Beer?

This post surprises me. My learnings...

1. The people with the biggest and most expensive boats, drink the most watered down and tasteless beer.

2. The people with the smallest and least expensive boats, drink beer which actually has flavor and taste.

The people who drink Anheuser Busch or Miller products really need to try something other than a mass produced beer. Seriously, micro brew and home brew will blow the socks off any of that stuff. Just sayin'....

Oh yeah... Carlsberg elephants, they need to be treated with great respect.
 
There are a few great local breweries around here. I tend to like the darker beer so my list would include:

Wolaver's Oatmeal Stout
Otter Creek Stovepipe Porter
Pig's Ear Brown Ale
Samuel Adam's Holiday Porter
 
if bottled beer doesn't taste as good as tap, try pouring it into a glass BUT...you have to let if foam up. don't tip the glass and pour slowly. set the glass on the counter and let 'er rip then wait for the foam to settle. pouring that way releases excess carbonation that's used to improve the bottling process and preserve the beer. the excess carbonation prevents you from tasting the beer as it was meant to taste. your tongue is sort of stung by the bubbles instead.

give it a shot, the beer will taste more like keg beer and the flavor will be more defined.
 
Any beer made by the Great Lakes Brewing company especially the Commodore Perry IPA and their Christmas Ale when available,Like Hogan said any good IPA from such brewers as DogFish Head,Sierra Nevada Or Brooklyn Beer company,all are great beers to kick back and relax and enjoy life,if you have a party or a lot of friends and need to pound down a few brews then my house beer is Labatt Blue,dont care much for any domestic mass brewed beers,kinda weak.
Great thread by the way

I am personally a Bud Light only guy.

My wife is a Michelob Ultra with a dash of lime Girl

But I have to admit, I am REALLY taking a likin' to Red Cherry Wine From Grand Traverse Bay!

Kalik Gold

Now found a very few places in the USA. Formerly only available in the Bahamas
 
At home bottle: Beck’s, Red Stripe, Tecate, Dos equis, or Bud.

At restaurant/bar draft: Smithwick, Chimay (if somebody else is buying), Peroni, Sam Adams seasonal Octoberfest/Winter Lager, Yazoo (local micro brew).

Gerrynoank, if you have two more beers, the fifth will make you bulletproof and the sixth will make you invisible.

Yup

10gallons brewing right now.

It looks like there is only one person I would sit down and drink beer with that has posted so far.

Troganator! :)

Mine is Golden Monkey 9.5 on the richter scale!
 
Labatt.. at 33F is the only beer I ever really had a taste for. I prefer liquor or a coke, sometimes both at once.

3 beer reps , a bud rep, a coors rep and a Guinness rep, are all traveling the same sales route. One day they all decided to go out together after work. When the waitress arrived to take their orders the Bud rep said: "I'll have the king of beers, Budweiser." The Coors rep said: "I'll have the only beer brewed with waters of the Rocky Mountains, Coors."
The Guinness rep said: "I will have a Coke."
Both the Bud and Coors reps looked and the Guinness rep and asked why he wasn't going to have a Guinness? To which the Guinness rep replied: "Hell, if you guys aren't going to have a beer neither am I."

I had the pleasure of drinking some "Celebration" Ale last night. It was excellent, I'm going out to get some to tide me over for the holidays.
 
Glad you liked it, Hogan. To me, the Celebration is a lighter version of Torpedo. If you like Celebration, you might want to give the Torpedo a try. A bit more bite and higher alcohol, 7.2 vs. 6.8%.

FYI, Beer Advocate is great website for beer aficionados.

My family on my Dads side are all from or still in Canada. My Grandmother is in Harrow, which is South of Windsor on Lake Erie.

We grew up across the bridge in Southeast Michigan but were over all the time.

I don't drink much beer, but when I find a case of Labatt down here I grab it, ice it and share it with my neighbors. They love it.

Edit: I've dreamt of doing the loop and dropping anchor in front of her house many times.
 
Ah, an honourary Canadian then, with a taste for that country's fine brews. Well done sir!
 
Also agree the Sierra Nevada Celebration is a very fine beer, killing a couple of bottles as i type,anyone ever have DogFish Head 120 minute IPA? it is not available here but i talked to one of my customers who tried it and he claims it tastes like turpintine,at $10.00 to $12.00 a bottle one would think it is like nirvana to drink
