DEI99662 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 [quote name='05LegacyGT330Ci']Agreed, tried many sorts and varieties but Miller Lite is what I come back to everytime. I'm a simple man and I have no need for the exotic beers.[/QUOTE] I agree. Maybe we will have to meet up for a few "cheap, watery beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyDB Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Not a big fan of dark beers made with black patent malt, too much of that burnt flavor. I prefer drinking beer in the summer. Nothing as good as finishing the lawn and cracking a cold one. One of my favorates are Belgium style White (Wit) beers. These are lightly hopped wheat ales fermented with a specific yeast and infused with a touch of corriander at about 5% alcohol. The Belgium made Hoegaarden is probably the bench mark. There are a few domestic versions of this style that hit the mark as well. For those around Austin TX, Celis White is an excellant rendition. Double White out of South Hampton NY is also quite good. However, it's alcohol content, at 7%, is a little high for the style. Those around Quebec, check out Blanche De Chambly. Probably my all-time favorate sipping beer is a Belgium Gueuze. Again, this is a lightly hopped wheat beer with a secondary fermentation from bacteria indiginous to Brussels. The bacteria contributes lactic acid providing a tart flavor. Cantillon is a good example of this style. Caution, this style is not for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 I'm Irish and from Illinois, so I'm pretty much required by Irish Catholic Mandate to love Guinness... which I certainly do! :D It p1sses me off to a great extent when I go to a bar and they don't even pour it right :mad: They really need to start sending these insanely difficult instructions to any bar that serves Guinness... :rolleyes: [img]http://www.aduc.nl/pivot/images/guinness2.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JessterCPA Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Hey all. Now that Summer is almost here, what is your warm weather beer of choice?? For me? I like a nice white ale, or real cheap stuff, like Rolling Rock. Jesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawdaddy79 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I just tried Clipper City's Peg Leg Imperial Stout. Amazing range for such an unknown brewery. St. George's Porter still remains my favorite dark beer (outside of Guinness/Guinness Extra Stout of course)... but Peg Leg is stronger than most others I've tried - so it makes for a more fun time :) .
