    Default Another Beer Thread

    I thought I'd start posting again, and what's better than a topic about beer?

    Dog Fish Head 90 Min IPA

    I tried this beer last weekend while I was drinking up at school, and I basically agree with the review. It's a hoppy beer, but not overpowering. The 9% alcohol makes it an excellent beer to enjoy with food, or to simply relax and take the edge off.

    I'd appreciate any recommendations from fellow posters about beers to try. I've gotten into the habit of trying less mainstream beer. Foreign is ok, but domestic would be even better.

    Funny thing; just this weekend I went to some charity beer tasting event.

    I had the best beer I've ever had out of a can:

    I also enjoy Red Hook beer, another microbrewery (based in Washington State).

    CR: That beer looks awesome. I've never had good beer out of a can, but the reviews suggest otherwise. I'll to give it a try sometime. I love trying new, non mainstream beers.

    Centurion:
    I've never had it, but beer advocate suggests it's an average Asian Lager, and nothing special. I'd still try it though.

    Hm... your name and thread is reminding me of my favorite beer of all time:



    Tastes, smells and feels like alcoholism.

    Anything under about 6% aint got enough kick to begin with.

    That reminds me, time to pour a kwak (in the appropriate glass of course).

    It's quite a shame that a lot of the beers that are mentioned here aren't widely available. I would love to taste some American beer other than Bud.

    Oh and the best beer commercial I've seen:

    No, Corona tastes like cat piss with a lime in it. I thought Europeans drank beer at room temperature too. I tried drinking Sam Adams at room temperature and actually kinda liked it that way. It also saved room in the refridgerator.

    Hate Sam Adams: It's good English beer; that's like Edit: Nevermind.

    Anything with a fatal overdose of hops should be (relatively) good warm. The hops help preserve the beer.

    It's cellar temperature, not room temp. And that's only for ales.

    I've been drinking Murphy's Stout lately. Tasty.

    Room temperature only for ales, that's interesting. I thought all beer was consumed that way. In High School we used to like the malt liquors for the intoxicating affect, never could get used to the taste though.
