Beer preference

[CatsNShocks]

Plain and simple curiosity. That's all.

[jeffy]

It's the only import beer I've found that can be consumed in the way true Germans drink beer, room temperature.   "Cold" is just a way of covering up some of the crapiness of most other beers.

[Saulbadguy]

Miller LITE.

I prefer Trappist.

[QuinnMac]

Warsteiner is ok, I prefer a bottle over the mini-keg because the keg left a weird bitter after taste.

My fault. I must be drinking...

Sam Adams Winter Lager (< So sad when this is no longer the seasonal)

Corona.  Or Killians if I don't have a lime.

What is listed is crap (but I assume you knew this?).

QFT. 

Never had Pyramid/Widmers.  And pretty much anything by New Belgium is good in my book.

Try the New Belgium Abby Ale.

Widmer Hefeweizen  :lick
Pyramid, the only beer i've had from them is the apricot ale...it was interesting.

People who drink beer with fruit flavor should have their man card revoked.

[QuinnMac]

Don't fruit the beer.

Most of the beers i've tried that have a "fruit flavor" aren't too sweet, and not overpowering.  It's not like drinking a malt beverage hybrid (smirnoff, mikes, etc).  Heck, it's not even as strong as putting a lime in a Corona. 

[cireksu]

Goose Island and Breckenridge Brewing Co. are my fav. micro's if they are considered micro.

"Never had Pyramid/Widmers.  And pretty much anything by New Belgium is good in my book."

You are missing out.  Must try.  I never pay much attention when I am back, can you even get either one in Manhattan (draft is better than bottle)?  Normally Boulevard is all over the place, and I like their Pale Ale or Wheat and want to try *something different* on the road.  Well, that, and the lack of video poker machines is a distraction (yes, that's really backwards I know).   Last Aggievile pub crawl was almost entirely Boulevard with some Hoegaarden mixed in (bad, bad idea...but I never see it on draft anywhere).

Widmers is Portland, Pyramid is Seattle...so I would understand if those have not made it to Kansas.

Also good is Stone (San Diego), either the Pale Ale or Arrogant Bastard.  I have a friend that loves their IPA as well.  There was a pretty good local brewery in Salt Lake City the last time I was there as well (something like Red Rock).

All of this said, I'm not an alcoholic.  

[Rick Daris]

Pretty much any IPA   
Hops

Last night I picked up two Allagash bombers (a bomber is 750 ml, right?)...

The first was Hugh Malone ($12.99) because I've heard great things about it... and then the beer guy (Tom Baker, formerly owner & brewmaster of Heavyweight Brewery) at the liquor store comes over to me and says, "that's a good one, but I gotta tell ya, the Allagash Dubel is outstanding, especially with food..." so I picked one of those up, too, because it was cold, and I was on my way home for dinner anyway. Man was he right... I drank the entire bottle with a juicy steak cooked on the grill, and some garlic-smashed potatoes... yum! And Allagash Dubel is "only" $4 something per 750ml bottle. Which goes to show, price doesn't necessarily have much to do with taste or quality.

Also picked up a single of Victory Storm King Stout because I've never tried it... I like their Hop Devil and uh, is GoldenMonkey by Victory? I love that stuff...but not all the time...every few months, maybe longer, I'll go on GoldenMonkey kick and buy a couple sixers, then go cold turkey for a while to let the tastebuds return to normalcy. Heh.


Yea... ROCK ON,

Michelob Ultra in Draft.

I like any German Heffe Weitzen with lemon.

Corona when there's lime.

Best beer I ever had was from my neighbor in Bad Schoenborn Germany, a small town I lived in when I for a year and half while I was working in Heidelberg.    It was a pilsner beer that had exceptional taste, very smooth even when warm.  He brewed and bottled it in his basement and  I used to buy american chocolate, peanut butter, and other American treats to hand out, and I got whatever german delicacies my neighbors offered.

Sadly, I was unable to bring back any, but if I go back, I know where to go.

Where did you copy and paste that from?

If not, 

[Duncan]

Pretty much the best all-around beer out there. 


You can eat this baby with a fork.  Best dark beer hands down.


Best draft beer at room temp, low carbonation.


Best domestic. 

[Dirty Sanchez]

Blind Tiger in Topeka has one called Smokey the Beer.  Like the name implies, it has a smoky flavor.  Goes great with smoked meats.

estoy esperando.

[dr00d]

guiness.


motor oil ftw.

One of my favorite parts of traveling is sampling the regional brews.  I've met very few beers I don't like...I've found that I view them similarly as I view barbeque:  there are good beers, there are better beers, and there are great beers.

Fat Tire and Boulevard Wheat are a couple of my standbys.  I like the 75th Street brews here in the KC area, as well.  Always liked the Black Angus Stout at Little Apple.  Stella is a nice choice when I'm looking for something crisper (I was at a black-tie event last night where they were serving Stella at the open bar.   )  Drink a lot of Guinness in the winter.  Have the occasional Newcastle or Boddington's, and usually pick up a 12-pack of Harp when it's on sale.

I know I got a widmers somewhere in manhattan, I want to say Mae's.

[opcat]

the cooking guy on KK's show said some Dutch dark beer is the best.

I need to try it out.

Anyone know the name?  Might already be mentioned.
