Favorite beers

processhead · May 3, 2012

At the moment I have a Dunkel-weitzen and a Helles on tap. Been brewing my own for about 20 years now. I prefer German styles, but really enjoy trying lots of beers from all over the world.

Is it me, or do the same guys who do the brewing just naturally inclined to smoke meat too?

Harpoon IPA is awesome!! I'd forgotten about that one earlier. Knew the Doyle brothers many years ago. I remember hearing that Richard had started a brewery. We all thought he was crazy :) I saw the IPA in a local store a few years ago and it's been in the rotation since. Tried a couple of the others and thoroughly enjoyed them as well.

Yes they really do make a wonderful beer .. They have expanded and now have a brewery in Vermont now as well ..
a local restaruant here "The Chateau" has its own IPA made by Harpoon also .. Very similar to Harpoon IPA Very good as well .

I live in the Kansas City area and the Boulvard Brewery has an awesome unfiltered wheat and a great pale ale and almost everyone has one of them on tap!.

Coors Banquet Beer. I started drinking it when wasn't sold east of the Mississippi in the 70's. A truck driver friend would bring me a couple of cases now and then. Brewed with Rocky Mountain spring water they say. Miller bought out Coors a few years ago and Coors is now brewed in Trenton, OH. About 30 minutes from home. Not sure how they are going to get Rocky Mountain spring water to Trenton, OH. But then again that's not my problem.

Its good beer. Sometimes Coors original is hard to find. I live about twelve miles from Oxford, OH. Miami University is in Oxford, OH. The college students in Oxford love Coors original. The supply is endless.

Bit harder to compare from down here but I did like that Maudite out of Quebec. Big company beer down here only when I am really thirsty .Otherwise its Coopers then the James Squire range created by Chuck Hahn who used to work for Coors before moving "down under".Really nice guy to boot.

Lot of micro brewery stuff here now & then brew your own on site in the microbrewery Ubrewit. We do a german style bock every winter.

Czech beers great in the summer,still the best makers of pilsener.

Lived on Rolling Rock in college! And Muscatel too...

Now, a Shiner is great, and supports Shiner, Texas! Or, any other beer anyone wants to buy me, too, but I can only have maximum of 2; 3 sends me into seizures. Spent a New Year's Eve on the bathroom floor before the ambulance carried me out after telling my wife, "Oh no.. one more won't hurt me at all... it's New Year's Eve! Relax!" ..........thud....

Rolling rock was good before bush bought it and changed it.

A-B has a knack for turning decent beers into crap. All for those extra pennies. Why use barley when rice and corn will do. Disgusting.

Hello, I'm new to the forum but this beer thread got my attention! I am an avid beer drinker and have tried many different brews in my life thanks to a bar called Hubbs Pub which closed many years ago but introduced me to beers from around the world. Me and a good buddy went there the day they opened and saw that they had a challenge called the "wall of fame" where a person must drink 90 "different" beers in 90 days and they would receive a nice plaque on the wall, an engraved 32oz beer mug, and a nice t-shirt. We did it in 29 days! They had 59 beers on tap and 230 bottled beers as well so there was a good selection. At that time in my life, I liked all beer but now my go to is Sam Adams Boston Lager, or just about any decent IPA. In a pinch I will go for a Coors or Miller Lite especially if there will be alot of sippin to do.

I am starting to gravitate towards the local bre house product. Straight to Ale is starting to put out some really good brews. We have a liquor store who has 25 or so brews on tap for sale in half gallon and gallon jugs. I imagine I will go by and get a gallon for the Memorial Day menu. Cheers!

I have to chime in on this one. My all time favorite is Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat. It's a Belgian Wit in style, but brewed with a lager yeast strain and a top-note of blueberry added. It's an unfiltered wheat beer brewed in Chippewa Falls, WI. I went thru a keg a month for about a year and a half. I had to switch back to the Budweiser I grew up on because I was really packing on the pounds! I pick up a six pack once in a while but it's much better on tap.

Hoppier the better for me...I love IPA's, especially form the west coast ...Russian River Brewing"s Pliny The Elder tops the list ...Its a BIG double IPA that is so well balanced !!!!! .............Russian River , Bear Republic , Ninkasi, Stone , Green Flash, Big Daddy, Firestone , Rogue , Laguanitas to name a few ...From San Diego to Portland ...The west coast is home of some of the best craft breweries.....Look for these breweries as most of them do distribute across the US !!!!! I currently have on tap Racer 5 ipa (bear republic , Rampage double ipa (black diamond) and my buddies home brew, a mocha porter ...
