What's Your Favorite Beer?

[Berrie]

Belgian for me. Chimay.

You sir, are definately not an idiot. Excellent choice.

I don't want to sound chauvinistic, but Belgian beers are mostly top-class.
My favorite: Delirium Tremens (11% alcohol!!), heavy but very tasteful! This choice is shared by Michael Jackson (not the popstar, but an American beer-lover who writes excellent books on beer)
When I want something lighter: Jupiler or Leffe Blond

I also like some Czech or German beers. Heineken is the most disgusting beer. It's dishwater!

 

[Lord Sankra]

Pilsner Urquell, the original and the best! Brewed only in Plzen, Czech Republic.

 

[Harald]

Don't think I have drunk any of the listed beers except Heineken and I don't drink it.
I prefere Newcastle Brown Ale, Falcon Bayerskt, Staropramen Dark or in worst cases Lapin Kulta.
Old Speckled Hen and Hobgoblin is also nice.

 

[Dann]

My favorite beer is that which I do not have to pay for.

 

[Turner]

Took the words right out of my mouth. No beer tastes better than free beer. Hell, I'll even drink Corona if it's free!

I used to be a hardcore Killians fan. Then I went to the Coors brewing plant in Denver last year, and saw just how good Killians can be. Haven't drank much of it since, because it's always crap (compared to the fresh) by the time it gets to me.

Now I just kinda buy whatever looks good at the time. But I really like Red Stripe... I tend to drink that the most.

There is this little brewery in Swan Valley, by the name of Duckstein, it brought me the experience of good beer, which until that day i had not experience. I also rather like guiness stoat, it has a very creamy texture and nice aftertaste.

 

[ComradeDavo]

I tend to prefer Belgian (Leffe, Hoegaarden) or German beers.

British ale is rather good though. I reguarly drink Hobgoblin ale, which is very dark. I see Harald has mentioned it. He also mentioned Old speckled Hen - thats not bad. Fiddlers Elbow is nice as well. We have a local beer named Bath Gem which I am quite fond of as well.

Larger such as fosters or carlsburg i'm not that fond of, I only drink it when poor! And I hate Carling!

 

[Verbose]

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

No wonder, since they learned their stuff from the Germans.

Though I tend to think the Japanse bite themselves on their collective brewer's but by for some reason attempting to brew beer with absolutely NO aftertaste...

 

[aaglo]

Belgian beer for me too, please.

Preferably Cantillon: Kriek or Gueuze 100% Lambic

 

[Marshy]

Guinness, guinness and then more guinness! Delicious but it does shocking things to the digestive system.

Drank lots of Yeungling when I lived in the US. And when I'm in england I drink whatever local bitter is available.

I'm off to Prague next week where the beer is oh so good and very cheap!

 

[Verbose]

Personally, in Sweden, it's almost all Czech beer. Staropramen is good!
(Btw Swedes can't brew beer. The Vodka's fine though.)

In France you have to go for Belgian, in which case a Leffe Blond goes down well.

But the price of beer in France is prohibitive anyway, compared to what the same money will get you in the form of a pitcher of red wine...
(All alcohol comes at prohibitive prices in Sweden. You just get... numb... to the fact in time. Some consolation might be that the Norwegians have it even worse.)

strangely i keep reading this as 'whats your favourite bear'....

What about our favorite CFC bear...BC

You sir, are definately not an idiot. Excellent choice.

You sir, must not know me very well. I am most definitely an idiot especially after 4 or 5 chimays.

 

[Ansar]

I dont drink, but my dad likes Corona.

 

[warmonger]

When in the US, I would only drink Sam Adams or something from a micro brewery.

In Australia, a VB or a Boags

In Japan, Ashii Super Dry

In Switzerland, Wartek or the dunkel ale from Unsere Beir

In Germany, another vote for the dunkel hefeweissen

In Belgium, anything on the beer menu - which could be 8 pages long - never had a bad one.

In the UK - still trying to find one I like.

Golden rule - never drink a beer that's made under license from somewhere else. Fosters is the worlds worst big label beer.

 

[The 777 Hoax]

Root Beer?

 

[Berrie]

I am most definitely an idiot especially after 4 or 5 chimays.

Ok, after 5 Chimays I would also be, ...uh, well, not myself anymore!

Also for your figure, you have to be careful with Trapist beer like Chimay. It's like eating and drinking at the same time! The number of calories (spelling?) in one such beer is huge!
Not that I'm thinking about that when I'm drinking a Trapist. It's just when I'm standing on the scale...

 

[DBear]

Samuel Adams. I especially like their Winter Lager. Killian's, Guiness, and Dos Equis are good, too.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Samuel Adams. I especially like their Winter Lager. Killian's is good, too.

I look forward to that winter lager, I've never had it before. If it's as good as Summer Ale, I've found a nre best friend.

Killian's is awesome. Dark beer is just awesome in general.

 

[Cuchullain]

Watney's Cream Stout is another good one. Its got a great coffee aroma to it, and goes down smooth. Definitely a beer to be savored, not guzzled.

 

[GoodSarmatian]

The only beer on the list I ever tried was Heineken, and it's OK, but I prefer Kölsch.
