Re: Let's talk about beers
I never really acquired the taste for beer, and so far, I don't want to. I'd rather socialize in other ways. I pretty much avoid pub crawls like the plague.

Re: Let's talk about beers
Jameson is pretty good for most occassions. Love my JD, been drinking it for years. Gentleman Jack is a ripper of a drop, but a bit pricey for regular applications. CC & dry premixers are great on a night out if you want to avoid the cola or neat drinks. Probably the only Jim Beam that I can tomach. The rest of the bottom-shelf bottle of piss give me heartburn and taste like diluted nail polish. This however is rather nice. Bought my dad a bottle of it for his 50th this year. Not completely biased against beer either. I worked at the Grand Ridge Brewery in victoria for 3 years. A world-class award winning micro-brewery with a variety of very nice beers. Quite fond of their illusive Dark scotch ale 'Supershine' (%13.5%alc/vol), which sells out over 12months prior to each batch that is bottled. Fetching roughly $200/carton.

Re: Let's talk about beers
Quote:
I largely think it's a function of scope, though -- I feel like many people go for Corona because it's popular and omnipresent. But once people branch out and try different things, they quickly put Corona on the backburners to be forgotten indefinitely. It's like how people say they like techno because they listen to Darude - Sandstorm. I always question whether people really like Corona or if they simply haven't tried enough brands yet. In general though I avoid anything in a clear/green bottle if I can (both are equally poor at maintaining the quality of the hops in a given beer). Brown bottles are the only way to go (they block the wavelength responsible for catalyzing the skunk reaction. Technically, ruby-red is the best shade but it's more expensive to produce). Yuenglings are very good -- Chimay is excellent, too. I'm one of the few people I know that'll actually drink a Guinness (even though it's not my favorite, I think the taste is interesting). Negra Modelo and Shiner Bock aren't bad, either. Blue Moon was also pretty popular back in Philly although it wasn't anything special to me. In terms of mixed drinks, though, I go straight for vodka-Sprite/vodka-cranberry or Long Island Iced Teas. Quote:
In terms of other great Belgian brands though, check out Achel Brune Extra, Orval, Deus, or St. Bernardus. Back on topic though, I won't touch Natty Ice/Natty Light, Milwaukees Best (worst beer in the world, bar none. It's like downing fermented piss), Bud Light, Corona, or Miller Lite with a ten foot pole.

Re: Let's talk about beers
tons of favorites but generally im an ipa fan. i buy a lot of sierra nevada 12 packs for bang/buck. the grocery store by my apartment has a build your own 6 pack for $8.89 so ive started taking 3 or 4 dogfish 90s and putting them in there with a few other beers, no ones ever noticed

I just can't stomach Corona, especially without the lime. Do you enjoy bitter-tasting beers? What do you think of sweeter/spicier/fuller beers?

Re: Let's talk about beers
I haven't tried a WIDE variety of beers to be honest but I do try a new one when presented with it. I usually just drink Budlight or Yuengling because there are always specials on them.

Re: Let's talk about beers
Out of the less expensive beers I think you'll find that stuff like Pabst Blue Ribbon and Rolling Rock are decent alternatives, if you ever get a chance sometime.

They don't serve anything other the Budweiser, Bud Light, and Miller Lite at Dynamo games, so I'm out of luck unless I bring my own beer. But I can only drink what I bring in the parking lot. |
