im in texas, here the beer of choice i would say is Coors light..and since we are close to mexico Corona...But I like michelob amber bock.....how about you....

Some of us in Texas have taste and avoid Coors Light and Corona like the plague :)

If I had to choose an American beer, it would be Shiner Bock, but my food of choice is Guinness Draught.

Guinness - nothing like an ice cold irish beer.

beer of choice for this area...either bud light or natural light(hey, they poor college kids)

Huge fan of the microbrew. I love all the Shiner flavors. Guinness would be next on my list below Shiner.

But my absolute favorite is Red Lady Ale from the Crested Butte Brewery (http://www.cbbrewery.com/) in Crested Butte, CO.

Also like the brews at the Fredericksburg, TX Brewery.

CHEERS!!! ;beer

fosters

Fosters? :growse It's so bad we make it export-only!

Give me a brew from a monestary in Belgium somewhere anyday, or any & all of the small un-commercial breweries in Germany (there are atleast 5 in each town, too many to list)

T.

Love this thread!!!!

Since I am from Brazil, I must post here brazillian beers, that I already compared with some foreing ones (Bud, Corona, Heineken, Coors), and I can say I preffer the brazillian ones:

top of the list: Bohemia and Original

Also good beers: Skol (can), Antarctica (bootle) and Brahma (draught beer, served on steel barrel) - don´t ask me why, but there is a huge difference between the canned, bottled and barreled beers of the same brand.


btw, all of them are made by the same company: AMBEV, biggest beer company of Latin America, and 5th of the world.....

I go for lighter beers and pale ales--amber ales are almost to heavy for my tastes. I especially like microbrews (and I live in a good area to take advantage of that). Among my favorites are Red Hook ESB, Mirror Pond Pale Ale, Weinhard's Blue Boar Pale Ale, Tecate, Tsing Tao, and (yes) Bud Light.

Canadian Whiskey. Oh, that's not beer? 'nuff said.

-Lokatana

ok tomorrow i will start the whiskey thread just for you.... :D

Im in Wisconsin, and i like to drink Budweiser & Miller Lite those are one of the best beers.

Ok, here I go ;)

Shiner beer is good, I haven't had their Bock, but I do like their Hefeweizen.

I drank Bohemia when doing some research in Mexico, but I think Leon was the best I had down there. That along with some Pozole (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pozole) was a great combination.

My favorite beers are from Schell's brewery in New Ulm, MN (www.schellsbrewery.com/home.php). They make a great Bock for their Bock Fest (www.schellsbrewery.com/news_bockfest.php). Unfortunately I've had to miss the last few years because I now live in North Carolina :'(

They also make a wonderful Firebrick (Vienna style lager). Unfortunately they no longer make their Weizen. A friend of mine in college compared it to drinking a loaf of bread :cheesy

Leinenkugel's in Wisconsin (www.leinie.com/welcome.html) makes some decent beer. They also used to be a staple when I lived in the Midwest. They were bought out by one of the macro brewers so I think things have a changed a bit. Their Honeyweiss is a nice refreshing beer for summer. The also used to have a Winter beer (perfect for Winter of course), but they discontinued it and have some kind or Creamy Dark. It's Ok, but not quite the same. The also have a pretty good Red, but I don't drink those too often.

Going to the fridge to check what I have...

Weihenstephaner (www.brauerei-weihenstephan.de) also makes some great beers. I usually will have their Hefeweißbier in summer. They also make a great Hefeweißbier Dunkel that I've had out of the bottle and very luckily off tap the other weekend while in DC - very tasty.

Erdinger Weißbier (www.erdinger.de) also is a good choice for summer (see if you notice a trend ;) )

Once it's starts getting colder I usually shift to darker beers. Beamish (www.beamish.ie) is a good choice in winter. Nothing against Guinness, but I usually go with that instead. I usually grab Dunkels of different brands as well. Ayinger (www.ayinger-bier.de/) always seems to have a good variety to choose from if I want something different.

Another beer I ran across unexpectedly is Victory Golden Monkey (www.victorybeer.com/). It's a Belgian style Tripel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripel). It was best off tap, bottles have been mixed so far.

With that I move onto Belgian beers that I've recently been introduced to. Lindeman's (www.lindemans.be/) makes some good Lambics to start with. My favorites are the Geuze and Peche, but my wife loves the Cassis. Chimay (www.chimay.com/) makes a good range of Trappist beers, I prefer the Grande Réserve (Blue).

Right now I'm currently waiting to try a Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock (www.samueladams.com) I bought. It sounds very intriguing.

Ok, I thinks that enough for now. I kind of get carried away with beer :bang

Gruss

.. you can never get too carried away with beer....only carried away after, from drinking too much beer.. :)

you are correct and i like shiner too..its my 2nd choice....i knew i liked you birq for some reason.. ;beer

It's tough to beat a good old fashioned London Pub crawl! Boddington, Bass, Guiness, Newcastle, Twisted Thistle, Old Speckled Hen (look at the avatar), Shiner Bock is good, Fat Tire Ale, Samuel Adams, etc., etc., etc.
;beer

I love Bell's Oberon :love It's brewed seasonally in Kalamazoo, Michigan....


Bell's Brewery (http://www.bellsbeer.com/branddetail.asp?BrandID=7)

well if i were to choose beer instead of spirits it would have to be carlton draught

As a true Southwestern Ontarioian, my beer of choice has been and will always be...

Labatts Blue Light :bow

Although, having recently tried a local Jamaican beer, I have to admit, it wasn't that bad. ;woop

hmmm, usually I drink Heineken or Grolsch or Amstel when I go out, when I have a party or something like that we usually buy the cheapest :o

Scar

same as above, when i drink beer. I dont really like beer that much, wodka i like, or any rum, whiskey doesnt kill me either :)

Greek brand 'Mythos (http://greekproducts.com/mythosbeer/company.html)'. Great fresh beer.

http://www.greekproducts.com/mythosbeer/primages/pr056001.jpg

Heineken... ;)by force here in Greece dislike Amstel but I like over 100 Belgian beers and Guiness as it is the first beer I tried

but Mythos is great.... :p ;)enjoying it...

someone please put beer history down :sad

same as above, when i drink beer. I dont really like beer that much, wodka i like, or any rum, whiskey doesnt kill me either :)

Timmetie Drinks???? Boy does this explain alot!!! :)

I guess I'm the only one who likes Stella Artois?

nop I like it too....

I like india pale ales.
My favorite is Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.
I also like Sierra Nevada Celebration when I can get it.

I prefer draft beer. I converted a refrigerator into a kegerator.

I usually get kegs of Carolina India Pale Ale from the Carolina Brewing Company (http://www.carolinabrew.com/carolinabrew.html)

They are pretty cool guys. They don't even charge a deposit on the keg.

i'm a whisky drinker all the way. never had a taste for beer.

(i know, and i'm Australian too!!)

I'm not a beer drinker either jammo, try Stella if you ever have a chance, I didn't think I'd like it but the taste is a bit different from regular beers. It's worth a shot. If you like it yeah ;woop if not, no lose right? :(

A&W root BEER

A&W root BEER

Same here since im not 21 yet!

Same here since im not 21 yet!


Same here, but... :furious

The German beer Kloster Andechs is literally the best on Earth for lagers.

It's microbrewed in a village near Cologne.

Well here in South Africa there the top three beers are: Castle, Amstel and Black Label

I don't really drink much but if i did i would have to go with Hunters Dry....

A&W root beer is the best, I'm drinking some right now.

And I like ale, ginger ale, Canada Dry is my preffered brand

And lets not forget good ol' Jones soda

Almost forgot to mention this one. Has to be the best named beer ever:

Monty Python's Holy Grail Ale (http://www.blacksheepbrewery.com/beers/bottled.cfm)
Tempered over Burning Witches
http://www.blacksheepbrewery.com/images/beers/collages/holy_grail.jpg

Here in Costa Rica, the best local beer is called Imperial-is very good-, there is also a lot of people who like Pilsen, and there are others like Bavaria, Rock Ice....

I like mexicans beers like Sol, Corona and Tecate, they are not very expensive.

Other imported beers: Cusqueña, "Fruto Prohibido"-Don't remember his name, i think is from Belgium-, Amstel.

So many beers I like.

I generally drink micro brewery beers. When it comes to commericial beers, I like labatt 50 (considered as an old people's beer, only available in eastern part of Canada).

If you are into Belgian style ales, try Unibroue beers (http://www.unibroue.com/products/bieres.cfm) . It might even be distributed in the States.

I'm with Sh0tgunSteve - the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Celebration Ale are standards in my house. Great hops flavor and aroma - best of the nationally distributed non-commercial beers.

I discovered a great hoppy, wonderfully aromatic dry-hopped beer over the holidays. It's from Boulder Beer (http://www.boulderbeer.com/). Called the Hazed and Infused Dry-Hopped Ale. You can actually order this stuff online and have it shipped to you via this place:

Arctic Liquor (http://www.arcticliquor.com/)

I don't know how they get away with shipping since you can't ship everything to every part of the country but I got mine! :p

Home brew! no Hangovers!

normally a jacks man myself but for beer nothing beats a Coopers Pale Ale ;beer

i ususally drink the one in front of me...


preffer Stella thoguh

Thanks for posting the link to Arctic Liquor. I ordered some Hazed and Infused. I also found Sierra Nevada IPA. I have never heard of this and there is not much information on Sierra Nevada's website about it. But 2006 is printed on the label.
;beer

mmmmmmmmmmm BEERRRR!!!, i like Carling Extra Cold, Carling Premier, Stella Artois, Grolsch, Juniper, Kronenbourge, and every beer that isnt<< american, i find the american beer's so ,,, hmmmmmmm girlyish, too light and fizzy

Since i am from munich, germany, i stick to our bavarian beers like augustiner, erdinger weißbier, franziskaner. but i like irish beer, too, like guiness and smithwick's.
when i was in th US last year, i had a lot of beer all over the US (even if i am not 21, hehe) but i liked fat tyre the most. maybe it was due to the fact that i was drinkin' it around a campfire in yellowstone but it tasted really good.

I cant believe this thread is 2 years old now....Are you still drinking the same old beer or did we change? Iam drinking anything i can now adays..How about you???

Anything that heineken is producing :)

i don't drink,but when i do,i drink Amstel lager.you lonely have to be 18 in S Africa to drink alcohol,not 21.

I like bitter beer. Nearly all german beers of the north are very bitter.
But there are some more foreign beers I like: Kilkenny, Kronenbourg, Budweiser

I like a variety, this morning I'm drinking leinenkugel's original ;drunk . My favorite is still flat tire ;beer ;yes . About the only beers I'm not a fan of are the watery tasting ones, or the ones where they put things that don't belong in beer like chocolate or cider :nope .

love there sunset wheat!!!!!!!

Screw beer, VODKA :D

na..no vodka here..,,i can go too many places and drink good beer..but good vodka is hard too find...

Go to eastern europe one day, vodka everwhere.

Also if you stop by Ukraine, try Spirt.. although I DO suggest you mix it with something, or you will die.

screw beer, whiskey is where it's at

wow, cant believe i missed this thread. As a beer lover (platonic only jw) i have tried many a beer in different countries.

My favorites are bavarian beer (surprise surprise) like Franziskaner, Erdinger, Schneider, Weihenstephan (oldest brewery in the world).

I also enjoy traditional english ales like Hobgoblin, Bishops finger, Fursty ferret and for those of you who like strong ale there is Baz's Bonce Basher 9.4% per pint.

Another favorite of mine is Keo. (the beer not the player jw) A refreshing beer from the island of Cyprus.

I should try Keo then. But I thought you would like "Bavaria" :).

I love Palm, Mythos(greek beer) and Xarma(greek beer from chania).

I like plain old Coors.

Bavaria is nice but definately not my favorite.

Mythos is good, they just started selling it in cyprus when i left. Before the only choice was Keo or carlsberg :)


Another favorite is Bavarian Snakebite. 50% Bavarian unfiltered wheat beer and 50% Cider. That will get the party started ;)

American beer is like making love in a canoe.

Old joke.

I am late to the beer world, hated beer till my 40's and only then because a friend started working on me. So I have found a number I like but they are all local brews. Mostly I make my own. Current on tap is a recipe that uses an old English as it's base but gets radically changed.

On occasion I do make kit beers, made 5gal each yesterday of octane ipa and autumn brew. The wife is fond of cervaso so we usually have a few cases of that going too.

But I tend to aim for very thick brews that are not extremely bitter. The wife calls em my bread in a bottle brews.

Oh and got a kit of pumpkin ale on the way. Made it last fall and it was my only flop so far. Was just gross, we ended up dumping 2 cases of it. But I had got tricky this year we will follow the recipe.

My Serby friend got me into Leffe. Never had it till that last poker game we had. Nice beer. Not sure if agreement will be made on it being good, but it was for me.

My favourite beer is Pilsner Urquell. Czech beer is very good in general.
Also tried a scottish organic beer lately, which was pretty good either, unfortunately forgot the name.
Price was 3 pounds a bottle :P

i dont drink beer... but when i do i prefer dos equis!

but seriously i dont drink beer... mostly drink vodka(grey goose, titos, ciroc coconut)

My favorites are Yuengling or Yuengling Black and Tan. Also love a true black and tan with Smithwicks and Guinness. My local bar always has Molson on special, that's not a bad beer either. Favorite beers I've had abroad are Paulaner Hefe-Weizen and Spaten.

I like Modelo Especial. Just got a case of Bud Lite Lime its defferent...not as good as a Corona and a slice of lime. Going to start trying others that people have posted.

My favorites are Millers Draft, Amstel Lager, Castle Lite and Hunters Extreme.
Favorites I remember from England are Carlsberg, Guinness and black and Fosters

grrr wish we could get Yuengling in Mass, I have friends that make trips to see friends and come back with a whole trunkload of cases
