I'll try to "tap" boards considerable taste in spirits.....

My three faves

1. Budvar/Czechvar Hard to find in the states but drank many gallons in Prague

2. Gearys IPA- Craft brew from Maine. Outta site

3. Sierra Nevada- Nectar from the gods

Honorable mention for honorable Keef Ol' speckled Hen

Im here in California, but I perfer Guinness, New Castle, and Bass. Damned Great Britian and there wonderful beers. However, there is a local restaurant (BJs) that brews their own beer...great stuff. The Stout is excellent!!

Josh

This is a long list... don't get me started...

In order of... light to heavy:

1) Wheats: Paulaner (german), Julius Echter (german)

2) Pale Ales/IPA's: 3 Floyds Dreadnaught (single-greatest beer in the world), 3 Floyds Alpha King, Victory Hop Devil, Great Divide Hercules Double IPA, Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA, Anchor Liberty Ale... to name a few

3) Weizenbock: Schneider Aventinius in class by itself

4) Barleywines: Anchor Foghorn, Victory Old Horizontal, Dogfish Head Immort Ale, Great Divide Old Ruffian, and the incredible 3 Floyds Behemoth

5) Stouts: North Coast Old Rasputin (drier style), Victory Storm King (luscious), Dogfish Head Worldwide (only 18% ABV, tastes like port), and Bells Expedition Stout... Great Divide Yeti and Oak-Aged Yeti are pretty incredible too

6) Porter: Anchor Porter, Fuller's London Porter

7) Belgian Strong Ales: Rochefort Trappist and Westvleteren (all numbers) are both great.

Off Topic or not,

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is my drug of choice now as boring as it may seem, it gets me going

Didn't like any of those bears but Goldilocks sure looked pretty horny!!!



ROCKMAN

Harpoon IPA, Sierra Nevada, Guinness, Bud cans (summer only, preferably outside), and pretty much any hoppy microbrew - Stone & Brooklyn are two.

Right now I'm drinking a can of Bud Light (it was left in my fridge from a party and I'm all out of everything else) - it doesn't taste like anything. It's not really bad . . . it just has no flavor whatsoever.

Thwaites Bomber
Greene King IPA
London Pride (preferably, a Light & Pride)
Spitfire
Waddingtons 6X

For the moment mostly Westmalle tripel.
Drank Wisby Pils yesterday, that was a good one.

Anyone care to join for a trip to the Trapisten-joints
(a good thing if you leave along my route)?

(Terry, gonna post some reasonable bears... Growl... )

Awww...beers I swear it said bears...!!!!...but that Goldilocks is still a honey!
Where's she from Sweden...Poland...Netherlands?



ROCKMAN

Two large cages are bein built right now.
Goldilocks is a lil too young even for yer taste, Rockman.
Not even oool Perks would go for ´er.
They´re all proto-German fascist hallucinatin dreams
(sorry for bein cynical here )... The blond/blue-eyed-
bimbo kliché is international as well. Proto bimbo.

German beer, French wine, Scott whiskey, Italian grappa, jamaika rum and your done... if you survive it.

Two large cages!!!...what for to lock me and Rockman inta...



ROCKMAN

German, Czech, Norweigan, Australian, Danish,
Dutch, Belgium, British & Irish beer.
...Fancy Berlinder Kindl, Strike?

Off-Topis: My fav bears:
1) Grizzly bear
2) Black bear
3) Panda

Worst: Ice-bear. Terry-fying.

For us commoners -

Budweiser has always been number 1, but I now drink Michelob Ultra, low carbs, you know!

Gulpener
Palm
Geuze Lambic
Westmalle Triple
Bokbier (Amstel)

1) Shiner Bock

2) Newcastle Brown Ale

3) Budweiser (and yes Juan, in a can, on a hot day... fantastic!)

I only go for American beer since I want the best stuff money can buy.
My shortlist -

1 - Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale
2 - Shakespeare Stout
3 - Two Hearted Ale
4 - Ramstein Winter Wheat
5 - Alpha King Pale Ale
6 - Dreadnaught Imperial IPA

Would be great to have some glasses o´Westmalle
at some hazy Belgian bar, Potted!

Rockman: The cages is for the bears.
Two bears. Couldnt fit them into the package
ya sent. Hardly can tuck them bears into their cages.

Or if ya want b-e-e-r instead I gotta rethink.

Anybody here ever try "Imported" Lowenbrow from Germany??

Best Lager out there!!!

Guinness is in a class of it's own.

As for micro-beers - the original - Anchor Steam from the great city of San Francisco is still tops for me.

Newcastle is another of my faves.

König Ludwig Dunkel
Beck's
Wicküler (hey, it's cheap)

As an Englishman I support the uk brewers. Only beer and ale. Our lager is just yellow fizz.


London Pride. (4 are cooling for later compulsory consumption)
Abbot Ale
Newcastle Brown Ale
Marston's Pedigree.

Michelob Ultra- Drink it by the bucketfull and no carbs.....

Alexander Keiths
Rickards Red
Good Ole Molson Canadian

guinness
caffrey's
bass ale
amstel light
harp



although I get stuck drinking Miller Lite most often.

Ah, finally a thread I can't sink my taste buds into;

No. 1 - Miller Genuine Draught in a longneck - The all-American beer. Ranks up there with Apple Pie and Football in my book.

No. 2 - Pabst Blue Ribbon - I don't even know if it still exists, but I was weaned on the stuff. I collect its memorabilia.

No. 3 - Jax Beer - New Orlean's best was so good that Miller bought them out to stop the competition. Its Memorablia is priceless. You better have the bux.

No. 4 - Dixie Beer - Best with a dozen oysters on the half-shell. Has a nutty taste.

No. 5 - Lone Star Beer - Rot gut Texas stuff, but does in a pinch.





#......Go ahead....Bite the Big Apple....Don't mind the Maggots.....Uh Huh...#

- John Smith's Best Bitter (UK)
- Augustiner draft (Munich/Germany)
