Beer. Not shit beer. Good beer.

For a domestic Coors isn't half bad

It's hydrating, if nothing else.

La Bala de la Plata has always been my go to traveler for Coachella. You can down a six pack during a 10 minute bike ride. Good times indeed.

RedThom try racer X it's racer 5's big brother...

been trying to find a place that has it on tap. I can't find it in bottle down here. if you know of ANY place in LA that might have it, please help.

[luckyface]

I bought this the past weekend. I am a sucker for seasonal beer, but I always end up disappointed. So yes, I was kind of disappointed with it. No worries though, I will finish off the 6-pack.

[locachica73]

I have never found a winter ale I cared for but fall brews are always tasty. Although I think I missed the tapping of the pumpkin porter at 4 peaks this year.

[bmack86]

I prefer Winter beers. Higher alcohol content, darker brews and more intense flavors. Yay winter.

[Distorted_Jungle]

My top 5 in random order, and Lost Coast is not a bear it's a brewery in Eureka that i have never tasted a beer from that i haven't liked. They have this Rasberry Brown Ale that has great berry flavor and scent but the beer taste isn't overpowered by the berry flavor, their best bear is Downtown Brown though for sure.

Delerium
Chimay
Leinenkugel
Newcastle (my usual)
Sierra Nevada

Lost Coast

[locachica73]

hmmm top 5 beers...

1) Rogue Hazelnut Brown (YUM)
2) 4 Peaks Pumpkin Porter
3) Sonorans Vanilla Porter
4) Snake Bite (half guiness and half pear cider if that counts)
5) Micholob Amber Bock (cheap and tasty)

I miss when I could afford to be a beer snob, I wouldn't drink anything domestic other than Amber Bock, but now I have learned to enjoy Miller Lite because I can get it for 3.50/small pitcher at my local bar and it actually tastes like beer unlike the others.

Really? I have always found miller to be worse than everything but coors, accept Miller High Life. If i'm drinking cheap i go with either PBR, Natrual Light or Miller High Life, i just feel that those all taste better than all others. I have yet to try any of these new bears that budweiser release like the bud light wheat and budweiser american ale, but i am just not a fan of bud.

My current favorites:

Smithwicks
Dragon Slayer
Anchor Steam
Kona's Passion Fruit Wheat
Hoegarden
Bitch Creek
Pretty much every Winter Ale
Hamm's (when I'm partying or drinking cheap)

[bleep]

god damn, there are a lot of beer threads on this board.

my current three favs:
Allagash Curieux
Piraat Ale
Trappistes Rochefort 10

[locachica73]

I tried the american ale, it tasted like ass. Don't bother. I have heard the wheat isn't bad but I have never been a bud (beer) fan either. The bar I go to also has PBR's for $1.50 a can but I just can't bring myself to try it. I see people poor salt in it, I always figure if I have to put lime or salt in my beer to cover up the flavor I don't want it. Hefeweizen being the only exception, but only with lemon, what's with this orange shit.

[misterpickles]

mmm

[locachica73]

I would give that a try just for the cool bottle.

[Distorted_Jungle]

what's with this orange shit.

It's just a nice addition, i put them in my blue moons when i have them. I enjoy blue moon with or without the orange, but it is a nice refreshing twist. I have never seen anyone put salt in a PBR before though, but i guess when bud light came out with that lime beer crap people just started adding things to every beer.

[TallGuyCM]

Yeah that bottle looks like it could be a Lynyrd Skynyrd album cover.

I have had blue moon with the orange, it's ok, but I prefer the actual Hefe over the blue moon and I just don't like that with the orange, but have seen people do it. One thing someone talked me into trying is a blue moon with a shot of orange vodka in it, or amber bock with a shot of vanilla vodka. It brings out the orange/vanilla flavors of the beer with an extra kick. Although I don't recommend having more than one like this. UGH

[JebusLives]

mmm

that stuff is shit

[TallGuyCM]

that stuff is shit

Yeah, "black and tan" beer is something that is supposed to be mixed in person, like when people mix Guinness and Harp on St. Patty's day. Pre-packaged black and tan is like getting pre-packaged vodka and Red Bull, just doesn't work as well.

[bmack86]

Makin me some Radlers tonight. Classy classy time.

[CalmerThanYou]

Sierra Nevada made this special Pilsner just for the Phish Festival 8, it was excellent and I drank it all weekend. It's named after a Phish song and I want some more of it.



Edit:

I also had some of this all weekend too from the tap. It was great as a default beer: Magic Hat #9

[stinkbutt]

mmm

for being $2 a quart that ain't too bad

[TallGuyCM]

How the hell did you drink it all weekend?????? EVERY time I tried to order one they were "all out". They were even out ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON. I tried multiple times, to no avail.

[algunz]

Why the hell can't they serve this at Coachella? Come on GV . . . it's time to ditch the crappy beer.

[WhyTheLongFace]

I hated Fat Tire. It got me buzz but I hated it.
