Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

Southwestern PA represent!!

Well, not anymore... but it used to be brewed near my home in Latrobe.


Personally, I'm not much of a beer drinker. Then again, I haven't had much "good" beer. I can't drink anything heavy, as it just doesn't sit well in my stomach and fills me up before I finish one. And I'm too cheap to spring for something better. I did see some 4-packs at the six-pack shop for like 18 bucks. Maybe I'll spring for one of those one day.

Rolling Rock is a delicious brew.

So am I. Try some of these breweries:

Leinenkugel's
New Glarus
Lakefront Brewery
Capital Brewery
Sprecher Brewery

All good stuff. With Leinie's I stay away from their fruity beers. New Glarus Cherry is AWESOME! A pound a cherries per bottle.

Mostly stick to Blue Moon(no orange) in the summer and New Castle in the fall and winter.

Just tried the Leinenkugel Berry Weiss. Very Tastey. Normally I stick with the Blue Moon, but this berry was pretty resfreshing.

I need to try and mix some with Honey Weiss one of these days. Berry Weiss is good, but I'm starting to find it a little too sweet.

I use to like the Berry Weiss, but it ended up getting a little too sweet for me. I can usually only have 1 in a sitting but still not bad.

Had some of this stuff last week:
Wolaver's Oatmeal Stout

Anyone had?

Yeah, I was playing ball out in the yard with the dog and then started grilling and the neighbor handed me one. It was refreshing. I would imagine that more than a couple would be too sweet.

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

y'all tried this yet? Just a GREAT refreshing beer here.
not as sweet as it sounds fo sho...maybe a hint @ the end.



appearance - Poured a hazy golden color with a nice head that settled. lots of lace on the glass.

smell - All blackberrish, nice sweet smell here.

taste - Very nice beer for the hot day. Refreshing & on the Medium side.

mouth feel - Medium-light crisp and clean.

drinkability - Easy drinking beer, could drink a lot of these. Another S A classic!

Serving type: bottle

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

Nice, I'll see if they have that at my corner store... they carry most of the main Sam seasonals, so they should. Looks like a good one.

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

Damn glad this thread's back. i'd LOVE to try Df H 90min...instead i had Df H Raison D'étre...damn good beer too.

DEFINITELY want to try this one...fo sho
Dogfish Head 90 Minute Imperial IPA

AND...this one
Dogfish Head World Wide Stout 2001/2003-Present (18%)

I had the Dogfish head Raison D'Etre last night. It was good for what it was, but I don't prefer the Belgium beers with the wine taste, I love good IPA's. My question is, do all the Dogfish beers have that grape/wine taste, or are the IPA's like normal hoppy IPA's?

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

I'm 21 today and just tried a Guinness, absolutely hated it. Any recommendations?

I recommend that you get older. Seriously. I couldn't stand Guinness either when I was your age but I absolutely love it now. It is the epitome of an acquired taste.

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

Guiness is like an inverted U curve. You hate it at first, b/c all you've had is bud light, blue moon, etc...then you start loving it as you have some heavier beers at bars once you're old enough. And finally you start hating it again because with more money, you start buying more expensive and heavier beers and realize that guiness is not very good compared to nice stouts, it's just better than the rest of the macro-beers.

Digging up one of my early posts in this thread, I see.

Yeah, I've moved on from that experience and have found quite a few enjoyable beers (even some dark ones). Haven't returned to the Guinness quite yet, though.

You could replace "Guiness" in your awesome analysis with "craft beer". A lot of craft beer is shocking to the noob drinker (definately was for me). Once you get the taste for anything besides an american light lager, you will not go back and like you said just keep up climbing up the quality mountain. It's a great journey with no real end in sight.

Even Budweiser has realized this and now produces Bud Ale, which is a pretty solid brew IMO. Obviously they're way late to the game, but at least they realize good beer with flavor is not some fad that's going away if they throw enough marketing dollars at it. The hyping of Budweiser in commercials that portrayed it as some superior beer to some "dark ale where you can hide impurities" were hilarious! Foot in mouth. The guys at Bud have all of the talent in the world and it would be cool to see them come out with more product lines, maybe even get adventurous.

Their IPAs are "normal hoppy IPAs" and highly recommended! DFH makes some wild stuff that definately isn't for everybody. I've poured a few of their products out because I just didn't have the stomach to finish them.

Re: Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

What about Italian beers? Love me some Moretti La Rossa.

Italian? Peroni hands down.

I'm about to pour myself a delicious Dogfish Head 90 min IPA. So good.
