    Default Beer

    I love beer, It is the single greatest human achievement.

    I'll admit my palette is very American. Shiner (minus there light), Carona, Bud, Lone Star, and Keystone

    However I still love the stuff.

    Anyone in agreement?

    Yall just don’t know nothing about beer! (Bier)

    Lemur! Try Murphy’s Stout! It beats Guinness IMO http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murphys_(beer)

    And what the heck is this Belgian bilge water? It’s the byproduct of draft horses!

    I’m sorry but if you want good beer you’re going to have to get a good Bavarian Beer…a real one.

    Right now it is Lent and the time of good strong beer. Double and Triple Bock Beers. They are a meal in a drink.

    Heck, here they have more types of beer than any place else has brands. And no additives!

    I don’t even think it is legal here to sell some of the polluted crap that passes for beer in some other places.

    Our little local store must have 50 or 60 brands and those are just the local ones…Then there are the special ones that are hard to get…

    Most of that other stuff is a waste of good hops!

    I've had Murphy's, and it's good stuff. Don't forget I live in Wisconsin, a land of beer, with little breweries everywhere. That's not to mention the great stuff coming out of Chicago with Goose Island beer and all of that.

    But when I really, really need a beer, I always come back to my true love.

    Murphy's is 'ok', though Beamish is preferable to Murphy's and Guinness IMHO. The only decent Guinness is the stuff actually brewed in Dublin. The British stuff has the consistency of ditch water - though all Guinness has quite a mass produced flavour, with a metallic after taste and a free headache.

    The problem with Irish beverages as a whole at the moment is that they've been going through a tacky spin offs marketing phase. There are several different versions of Bailey's, which in my opinion has cheapened it's image even further and there are a few versions of Guinness such as "Extra Cold" and of Beamish (Beamish Red).

    Personally I would prefer a common run of the mill bottled English Ale (i.e. Fuller's, Badger, Wychwood etc) to some of the slop that is passed off as stout these days.

    Amen.

    Many of my friends can't understand why I like Guinness. They aren't believers, they haven't seen the light yet and haven't learnt to appreciate the joy of an extra cold Guinness particularly when it's on draft.

    I've only come to appreciate beer in the last six or so months, but I am so glad I started drinking it. Stella is my favourite beer that I have tried, but my standard beer is Tooheys New because it is cheap.

    Very cheap.

    With good reason.

    Belgian beer is the best, but it's expensive over here compared to domestic brands. I usually drink either Grolsch or Hertog Jan, wich are the only Dutch brands I really like.

    I've never grown to like Guiness but it's been years since I've had any and I only vaguely remember what it tastes like.

    Icehouse for me. I dunno about Texas, but around here Icehouse is actually the cheapest beer money can buy, and it tastes better than your average American lager.

    Yeah long live beer! Though keep it Belgian, nothing beats a good Trappist, or an old fashioned Karmeliet or the now almost extinct Old Belgian style (Palm is one of the only ones left). And of course Duvel and Delirium Tremens. Though when it comes to Pils Chech is an option as well.

    At an average of $10 a six-pack? I don't think so. I can get a 12-pack of Icehouse for $12 and it tastes fine to me, plus I actually get drunk.
    Duvel
    My favorite beer ever. (Although some Belgians seem to hate it for no good reason.)
