Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

To each is his own but I'm a bit surprised by the Blue Moon love fest. it's just not very beer-like in the traditional sense it's like a cider beer i just think it's in a totally different category.

anyways what I drink in order
Fat Tire
Negra Modelo
Shiner Bock (Texas beer which I like but get sick of seeing because this is the predominate dark beer I can find)
Dos Equis Ámbar
Sapporo (Japanese beer known for being used in Sake Bombs)
New Castle
Shiner 100: Commemorator
Coors Light

Fat tire, is that a wheat beer bruh?...i've heard nothing but RAVE reviews on this brew. i'm a little gitty to try it. what's your review on this man?

Was never big on the whole...putting fruit in my beer thing. It could be a college thing as it isn't very convenient to have slices of limes or oranges in my backpack with the beer, though.

haha, my dad's been putting a lime in his Heineken for as long as I can remember.

Fat Tire is an amber ale. Way overhyped, but it's not too shabby.

Hoegaarden Original White Ale - Very good beer. Very unique taste that's hard to explain. I'd definitely buy it again.

Abita Pecan Ale - The pecan flavor really dominates this beer, but I guess that should be expected. I think the pecan is a tad too strong, though. I'd probably buy it again but it's not something I would drink very often.

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

I'm not a fan of beer but this thread is giving me ideas to try and see if I find something I like.

Went to a Greek restaurant last night and had a "Mythos" which is a Greek beer, it was pretty damn good. It was nutty yet light and citrusy at the same time.

Guinness is my regular beer. Four out of five times that I drink it is nothing but Guinness. I do like an occasional six pack from the Great Lakes Brewing Company though. I just had a four pack (it is too strong to put in 6 packs) of the Blackout Stout last week and it tore me a new one.



My philosophy with beer is basically this: If you can see through it, then it is for girls.

Publix has a Flying Dog variety pack. Going to be incredibly difficult to ignore that until St. Patrick's Day. I've had their Tire Bite Ale and it was really good.

I split a Flying Dog variety pack with my roommate a few weeks ago. Damn good.

lol..maybe so, but I can't enjoy a heavy beer like that on its own. Guinness with a steak dinner though is incredible.

Maybe, but that Guinness you hold in such high regard has the same alcohol content as any American light beer which are made for ladies.

Now Blackout Stout is a winner! We used to get Great Lakes stuff in our market, but haven't for years and I still miss them. Their Ed Fitzgerald Porter was a staple of my diet years ago.

I'm a vegetarian, but I understand what you mean. I usually don't eat when I drink, but I have noticed that chocolate goes very good with the darker beers.

Yep, it is a seasonal beer. Only brewed in February and March, although where I live I have no problems finding it in stores until at least June.
