Beer. Not shit beer. Good beer.

[TheGuvna]

Marble IPA, from a local brewery here in Albuquerque, NM.



But all their beers are pretty good...

[LunaVC]

Kronenbourg Blanc

[Cdubby]

the maple nut brown is amazing, glacier is refreshing, the amber is good but prefer fat tire, butthead is a great doppelbock...

for a good wheat beer there is nothing i fancy more than easy street wheat from odells brewery

i will agree with ron that colorado is stocked full of good brews.

I also love the Vanilla Porter at Sonoran Brewery, but I do not believe it can be purchased anywhere else.

That is quite a fantastic beer. I also really like their Imperial Stouts though those show up only rarely. I need to remember to stop in and buy a growler or some bottles to go next time I am at Stinkweeds or somesuch.

I tasted the future today. It's Stone's Smoked Porter, but cask aged with Vanilla Beans added. It was the single best beverage I've ever consumed.

That sounds excellent. Where did you buy that?

[bmack86]

THe Daily Pint in Santa Monica. It's on Pico and Cloverfield.

[miscorrections]

Holy crap Bryan that sounds good.

[bmack86]

It was fucking miraculous. I had two glasses. They serve it room temperature, and it's exceedingly smooth and delicious.

That isn't too far away. I will be going there once school settles down. Thanks for the heads up.

[bmack86]

It's a great bar. A bit pricey, but it's got a great atmosphere and a really huge selection.

[Backwater]

Yeah, I'm a Daily Pint fan as well. It's great how it's within walking distance of SMC so you can go there in between classes.

Person 1: "How can you like beer? It tastes like piss."
Person 2: "How do you know what piss tastes like?"

Heineken has always sucked. I wish Bass or Guinness/Smithwick's would outbid them for Coachella.

Frankly, I hate a lot of these beers mentioned. Blue Moon is okay when my roommate brings some home, but at bars it's always served with a slice of orange or some other weird fucking shit that has no business being in beer. All the millions of Sam Adams varieties that are flavored like some kind of fruity shit bug me for the same reason. Beer should taste like beer, dammit. Fat Tire's funky too, although I'm not even sure what it tastes like that it's not supposed to. Stella's fine, but there's plenty of beers that taste just as good and aren't ultra-premium priced.

You obviously don't know anything about beer, brewing, or even drinking for that matter. Guiness would be awful in 100 degree weather, and they put an orange in it because it has coriander in it and it helps bring out the specific flavor of the beer. Hoegarrden, which is one of the oldest beers (from Belgium), puts an Orange in it. Kinda gives you a hint that it should be there. So keep going at what your good at and leave the beer decisions to people that actually enjoy beer. dipshit

[Jman4321]

This stuff is extremely good.

[MarkO]

Not sure how I've missed this thread so far.

I'll add my thoughts and recommendations in due time.

[xxxxxxxxxx]

Been drinking this a lot lately. Pretty damn good.

[The Ogre]

Hey Nerds, this is how we drink at Alpha Beta house!

[Jman4321]

That video is fucking hilarious. Stair diving looks extremely dangerous

[rideincircles]

I will have to try the Rogue Hazelnut Brown, that sounds good.

What all kinds of shiner can people get everywhere?
THe Shiner Black is good, and they had a holiday brewed peach and pecan beer that was really fruity but good. I havent tried their 100 year beer yet.
other shiners: Blonde, leicht, hefeweissen, helles.

As far as festival beer goes, Bonnaroo has Coachella beat by miles with Swetwater Blue and 420, those beers are awesome and i an drink them all weekend. Heineken sucks, but it was refreshing at Coachella.

Some of my other faves.
newcastle
Fat Tire
Spaten Optimator
Olvi (in Finland)
Shiner Bock
I try all kinds of beer.

What does everyone think of Budwieser ale? I think its okay, nothing super.

[aphextwinpeaks]

the tastiest beer of them all is the strawberry abita. its only seasonal though.


i really like beer.

[rideincircles]

Abita pecan harvest was really good also.

[Blinken]

Bristol Farms carries overpriced mostly imported products and does not allow their workers to join the grocers union. Bad choice.

The grocers union is one of the shitiest unions around.

[gmoneyak]

Baltika no. 9 is pretty fucking good Russian beer, I've also been starting to find it a lot more easier lately.

Strong and smooth..

[mcskye]

anything I can tape to both fists

or if all else fails, Delerium Tremens

[gruvlicius]

I always look at the TJ's beers, but I've never actually purchased them. What else is good from them?

Trader Joe's has Stella now! Just 6.99. Oh, I love TJs.

Tonight I had two pints of Old Rasputin and a bottle of Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout. Now I'm classily drinking Coors.

[boarderwoozel3]

I have no clue where you'd find this Belgian gem in the states but it's quite simply the best beer that has ever graced my palate. It's a heavy, rich, strong (11.3%), but feels like honey in your mouth, slightly sweet. Amazing beer. I can't find anything other than wine websites that'll ship it to me for $6/330ml bottle = $36/six pack!
