Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

[Mabster]

Speaking of IPA's, I'm enjoying this year's Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye more then last years. The spiciness of the rye goes so well hops.

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

There is only three things I'll drink from GLB

Christmas Ale, Conway's Irish Ale, and Russian Blackout Stout

As for Fatheads, I love their Bumbleberry. One of my favorite beers. But I prefer Rocky River Brewing Company's Blueberry Beer over it.

Yeah, that's about as "entry level" as good beers go.

If you enjoy a Blue Moon, you should check out a Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier which is a very similar brew, just a million times better in every regard.

It shouldn't be too hard to track down, either. If you need help with the pronounciation (don't feel bad, I didn't know how to say it right for a few years! ) it is pronounced: VEE-EHN-STEF-ON... (kind of like Gwen Stefani minus the G, plus a V at the beginning and drop the I at the end)

This is what it looks like:

It is the best "white" beer on earth IMO.

Piraat Beer. Amazing.

Your pronunciation is off, it's pronounced vihen-shtef-honor
"Ei" in German is always pronounced as a long I, "st" is pronounced with an "sht" sound.

Weissbier is pretty easy, vice-beer

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

I've always been a cheap beer drinker, I've never really explored any beer if it is more expensive than Budweiser.

Last night I had a few Blue Moon Belgian Whites, and wow was it good. I think it is time I step my game up and start drinking better stuff.

So any recommendations for a guy that loves Blue Moon? I want a really good wheat beer, I think that is what made me enjoy Blue Moon so much. Thanks, I'm a newbie at this stuff lol.

Always been a huge fan of the Brooklyn Pennant Ale and Summer Ale, first time I've ever seen this one and it was delicious. Has a great lemon/zesty flavor to it.

I absolutely hate that beer. Granted, I hate most beers that taste like fruit. I also so hate fruit, so yeah Blue Moon never had a chance.

Shock Top is extremely similar to blue moon, and IMO tastes better. they also make a belgian white, it's a tasty wheat beer.

Read three posts above yours.

Blue Moon is my usual go-to when I'm picking something up quick at the grocery store or Circle K. Like someone else said, Shock Top is very similar. I haven't had the wiestephananener but it's now atop my must-try list.

I don't know where you're from but if you have a brewery nearby with a wide selection (like a Yardhouse perhaps, or a local Belgian Abbey-style place) that allows you to sample the beer first, I'd try different Belgians. One I'm a fan of that's somewhat along the lines of Blue Moon (although not really fruity and stronger, more of a caramel taste) is Tripel Karmeliet. If you're in California (not sure where else it might be found), I'd track down some Golden Chaos. Had some of that last summer and loved it, but don't think it's anywhere in Arizona. I usually alternate between the Karmeliet and St Bernardus Abt 12 (a darker Belgian, nothing like Blue Moon lol) at the Yardhouse here.

You also might like Purple Haze. I need to find the one 55 mentioned ASAP

Where the heck is the emphasis on that, VIhen-shtef-HONor?

Edit: According to the Total Wine site, the store right down the street from me has got the Weihenstaphieniner... I know where I'm going after work

At about :30 the announcer says it, at about 5:19 some professor says it.
