This is my overall favorite comfort beer..Its heavy and creamy and the next is better than the last.

Every summer I pick a summer beer and this year its Fosters..I kind of regret that decision because when I picked it, it was early in the spring and I didn't take into effect the heaviness of it..I judge a summer beer mostly when I am out working in the yard or in the garage and I grab one and it just goes down smooth and crisp..
Last years summer beer was Miller High Life and the year before that was Labatts Blue and before that was Molsens Golden. I would love to know if anyone else has similar habits or loves a beer that I have never tried..

Spaten Optimator was one of our specials the other day at the bar I work at. Every time I mentioned it to a table I joked with them about how it isn't a Transformer...

I just tried Hook n Ladder Golden Ale the other night and that was super smooth, but I think my current beer of choice (maybe not my favorite, but its what I drink the most right now, and I do LOVE it!) is Saranac Pomegranate Wheat - there is nothing unpleasant about this beer!

Beer is only a vehicle by which my vodka travels....so I only require MGD

Stout, stout, stout!


My fallback fav...Murphy's Irish Stout!



Beamish Irish Stout!



Good 'ol Guinness Irish Stout!



Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout



...and last but not least; if I'm in the mood for something lighter, I turn to a Fat Tire amber ale.

I prefer Guiness Stout to Guiness Draught, there is a difference.

Amber Bock is what I used to drink, its pretty good and was relatively inexpensive.Amber Bock and Killians were 2 of my mainstays back in the day.

My primary beer these days:

Posted By: Awastatyme Re: Whats your favorite Beer ? - 08/01/08 04:40 PM
Just around here very one talks like gray goose is the only topshelf vodka out there because they say its name in song on the radio.

I've not had a "bock" that I didn't like. But my standard request is Guiness.

I see several here that I've not tried so... TO THE STORE!!!

Oh, and the name makes it sound like it would be crap, but Abita Turbo Dog is pretty darn good when there is no Guiness

All beer is good beer, no beer is bad beer.

Necro'ing a thread.

Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA / World Wide Stout
Aecht Schlenferla Rauchbier Urboch (Smoked beer)
Schneider Weisse.



Really enjoying stouts atm. On a major stout kick. Breakfast stouts have been interesting. Like Lion's Head Stout.

List some good Micro-breweries you've visited. I'm particularly interested in hearing from the people on the West Coast, especially Pacific Northwest who seem to live in Micro-brew heaven.

Worked for Blue and Gray brewing. They're in Fredericksburg, VA. So if you're a civil war buff, stop on in and have a really well priced quality beer. Ask about the Temporary Insanity Stout (You have to ask for it, they don't advertise or offer it.) If Jack is still there, have a beer with him and prepare to have him talk to you for 2 hours about how Budweiser sucks and that Guiness using Nitrogen is bastardizing beer.

Troeg's in Harrisburg PA is great. Bullfrog Brewery is also good.

Then I visited a slew in Colorado were also pretty awesome. Chicago didn't really have any microbrews, even at a bar that touted having 100 beers there.

Philly's beer fest is also pretty nice, so really if you're around. You should go check that out next year around Saint Patty's Day.

dogfish head 120 minute is insane, I got pretty drunk on a 12 oz bottle.

See my sig for my favorite brewery. ( http://www.lagunitas.com/ ) My favorite beer is my homebrew.


Also.. jesus christ, it was so hard to find a good brew in texas. Don't get me started on that lone star crap! Shiner bock was barely acceptable!!
Posted By: Dunlop_Phaete Re: Whats your favorite Beer ? - 05/11/09 02:22 AM
Shiner Bock is everyday beer.

There are lots of microbreweries to buy bad ass beer from, however, they don't sell it is restaurants like they do in Colorado and some other states.

You have to accept that Texas is huge....how many times can your state fit in here? Across the board, Texas is VERY different in different regions. Where were you at?
