What's Your Favorite Beer?

[MobBoss]

Germans make excellent beer.

For the record, I think the Japanese make some good beer also. Sapporo and Asahi are both pretty good.

 

[Thorbal]

Finally - a thread where I feel sufficiently educated to contribute !
Hm... I really love Guinness and Kilkenny, though it´s quite hard to obtain where I live. And now back to reinforcing stereotypes regarding Germans my favorite beer would be ->

There is nothing better than the sound of ~10+ Flensbottles being opened at the same time *plopp* .

 

[adog]

My favorite, of these options, would be Michelob.

Where is the ''I don't drink beer'' Option?

Anyhow I don't drink beer.
I don't drink at all.

 

[El_Machinae]

its an acquired taste, just like black coffee.

i didnt like beer the first few times i drank it either (mustve been 12 at the time), but later on i liked it more and more, and now i love it.

I absolutely loved my first beer, but that was mostly a function of being raised with soda water being a treat. I already liked bitter carbonated drinks.

 

[Rambuchan]

I think I'd have to vote for Paddington Bear.

Why are Foster's and Budweiser on the list? Neither one is actual beer.

Of the list, Corona and Heineken are the only two that I know are drinkable, there's a few I haven't heard of, and there's some shockers. Personal favourite beers would be Grolsch or Boddington's.

I hate beer, it reeks.

Plus i never understood it:
If i want to get a bit woozy then i have to drink some gin/vodka/whatever.
If i want to be refreshed i drink some non-alcoholic refreshing drinks like Schweps(sp?) and the sort.

The way i see it, beer is for people who can't handle any other drink.

No offence to anyone, btw.

That's funny, because I developed my taste for beer AFTER I had been drinking liquor for a while. I liked Rum and Scotch long before I did Sam Adams.

Kirin is better then both. I love how you could get 1 liter cans out of the vending machines.

 

[Goonie]

When you reach for a cold one, what is your personal preference?

Mine would be Sam Adams Summer Ale. After that their Boston Lager.

Very weak selection.

None of the above.

 

[EdCase]

Dogfish Head 120 minute IPA.It is the finest beer brewed in the United States.

 

[Norlamand]

US - Sam Adams
UK - Whitbred Ale
German - a local Bavarian beer that I had when I lived their, I don't remember the brand though..............but I do remember the heavenly taste.......

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Very weak selection.

None of the above.

I'm an American, and thus drink and mainly associated with American beer. I apologize for the lack of foreign brews, but I put up what I know.

This calls for a python quote. "American beer is like making love in a canoe."

How come? If you're afraid of alcoholism, you don't develop it after 1 drink.

 

[CaptainF]

I don't drink, but I have tasted beer and its donkey piss as far as I can tell.

 

[Cuchullain]

My favorite beer at the moment is Old Speckled Hen. By and large, I feel that the English brew the best beers. There are a few specialty beers in the U.S. that aren't too bad (Anchor Steam comes to mind, as does Crazy Ed's Cave Creek Chili Beer, or Victory's Hop Devil), but most are just awful. Guinness is also one of the greatest beers I've ever tasted (a nod to the Irish). I do think the Germans make some really fine beer, especially their wheat beers, but I prefer English ales. At last count, I've tried beers from over 43 different countries, and always seem to back to the English.

I do have to say, that when I'm in the mood for it, German rauchbier is an interesting distraction. Schlenkerla is the only one I can find here with any consistency.

When I can't find Old Speckled Hen, I usually look for any one of the Samuel Smith beers.

Now that's just an overstatement.

 

[Bartleby]

Murphy's, mmm...

Quoted for truth. It's a dodgy proposition outside Cork city tho'

Of those in the list, Heineken.

 

[Mr. Blonde]

Luckily I have a lot of choices of really good beers here in middle Europe. Some favourites:

Murauer Bock
Starobrno
Velkopopovice Koszel (I hope I spelled it correctly)
Hacker Pschorr
Stiegl Paracelsus
Siebenstern Wiener dunkles (beergarden with home brewery)
Erdinger Weissbier
Wieselburger Stammbräu
I actually like Kilkenny and Newcastle if I want some ale.

Damn, I think I tasted a couple of hundreds in my lifetime, I forgot some really good ones for sure.
