I dont drink much fancy yup beer..but when I do..I Iike a good old hoppy English Bitters. I got sorta jaded from the making it yourself  hobby a few years back. I also like just about any kind of Aussie Beer..not Fosters in particular...but especially the one that comes in tall boy cans and has a pic of a Kangaroo on it.  Few on them got somebody I know drunker than a skunk one time. Also highly good flavor..sorta like the English beer.  German beer tends to taste like Blatz with added Karo Syrup. Made quite a bit of Guiness but it a little too rich to make a night of it..now I can handle a brown and tan where it gets mixed with Budweiser 50/50. Or is that black and tan? lol Keep an eye on those triglyercides. Copious amounts of beer can make them got out the roof nearly as bad as Twinkies. Sippers should sip on ice water with a touch of red wine it to cover up the water flavor.

Brewing ale is not that difficult, and the results you get will be as good, or better, than the microbrews. BITD, I made a very good stout. Had to be careful, though, to not make it too strong! The hardest part was getting bottles. I used Grolsch bottles, the ones with the wired stoppers. The tough part was that there was only one way to get an empty Grolsch bottle.

What ever I am drinking now...

No, seriously...  Just about anything dark, currently in the growler is Oakshire Brewery's Ill Tempered Gnome. For general drinking, I like Pelican Brewery's Kiwanda Cream Ale.  No matter how hard I try, I cannot get to liking IPA's  which is kind of too bad, since I appear to live in Hop Valley. 
 
Whatever is cold is my favorite.  I like trying a handful of different beer every time I stop at the beer store.  The best one I had last night was Chimay a Belguim ale.

That can backfire on you:

Years ago My Buddy & I were Deer hunting in the Pocono Mts. We stopped for a case of beer, and noticed these really neat cans. They were real colorful with raised pictures on them. It was called "Fife & Drum". We bought a case.

Yuck---That stuff was terrible!!!  Third worst beer I ever had, right behind Primo & Lone Star Beer.

I had some of those cans in my fridge for years----Kept them to get rid of on less than wanted visitors.

Good to see ya, Blue!!

AHAHAHAHAHAH  Great way to get rid of unwanted visitors!!

I have only poured out 2 beers in my life that I could not drink,

1. A ginger beer from Jamaica (can't remember the name)

2. Harbin a Chinese beer

Both of these make my stomach turn just thinking about them.

Good to see you too Bear!!!
