Beer lover thread

[termis]

Any beer lovers here?  So which ones do you like/hate?  I'll get the ball rolling:

Favorites: Sam Adams Boston Ale, Bass Ale
It'll do: Big Rock Trad Ale, SA Boston Lager, Sleeman's Honey Brown, Newcastle
Can't stand: All that see-through yellow piss-water out of Anheuser-Busch/Coors/Molson/Labatt/Kokanee/Miller.  Well, okay... Coors light on a BBQ out on a hot day maybe okay.

Beer sucks. I only drink high-sugar/high-caffeine drinks. ^.^

[Necromancer]

My favorite is 'cold' and 'free'.  Otherwise, I'll take a Guinness or any other stout.  I ain't picky when it comes to booze.

Man, you're starting to sound like a chick.

What, No Steelback?!

Hmmm, beer.  Anything from the Sierra Nevada breweries is like the Nectar of the Gods.  Belle's ain't bad stuff either.  I've never been a wheat beer guy though.  Labatt Canadian Ale is a nice break from the norm.  Hmmm, Red Hook IPA when I'm really lonely for taste.  Goose Island Honkers Ale is a good light Ale that I recommend to all beer sissies.  Mackeson triple stout is slightly better than guiness, er lots, and Leinie's Big Butt is a long time favorite, even if Miller owns the brewery now.  The only Sam Adams that comes close to blowing my skirt up is Octoberfest, and it's really a novelty.  Samuel Smith's is pretty good if you want a snooty brew.

However, if someone hands me a Bud free and clear of paying for it, I drink it.  The only time I've ever said 'no' to free beer is when I misunderstood the question.

My grandma likes beer

[Keranu]

I like root beer! Dogs & Suds is my favorite!

[Kitsunexus]

Hell no man! Barqs is the best root beer!

[Keranu]

Barqs is great, but I prefer Dogs & Suds because it comes in a glass bottle and has a cooler logo, not to mention tastes a little better.

Just like games, so many beers out there, so little time to try them all out.

Anyway, I'm helping to derail the thread I started myself, but this talk of sugar/caffeine reminds me. 

Do they still sell Jolt Cola?

[MrFulci]

I tend to prefer my beer top fermenting, not bottom (Ale over Lager), unfiltered is fun, darker can be better. Though I like to mix things up and not buy all the same drink everytime I restock.

Hoegarden is a current light fav, and Old Peculier is a darker fav at the moment

When I journey to the booze store, I like to try and always pick up something different.

Here is a pic of some of my drink stock as of 30min or so ago.

Some of the best beers IN THE UNIVERSE, in my opinion:
-Orval
-Pilsner Urquell
-Löwenbräu
-Grolsch
-Belhaven
-Samuel Adams Summer Ale

Ah, beer!
There is a relatively small but pretty successful brewing company near where I'm from..it's called the "Hyland Sturbridge Brewery" in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. Anyone ever try their stuff?

Straight Everclear or nothing, bitches. 

[Keranu]

Do they still sell Jolt Cola?

Yes I believe so. I think there is a website that sells it.

[Necromancer]

Straight Everclear or nothing, bitches. 

Hells Yeah!  I think that I still have some straight grain alcohol that my pops made a few years back, but I don't know what grain was used (probably corn).  There's nothing quite like having your own distillery, but I don't think that it's legal.

[Hobo Xiphas]

I think it's okay as long as you don't sell it.

Having a bootlegger in the family would be pretty jawesome though!
