Favorite Beer

[BandCollector]

I really enjoy just about any IPA unless the micro breweries start competing to see how many hops they can cram into the wort and "out hop" each other....There is such a thing as too much hops in a beer. I do enjoy Becks and Pilsner Urquell as well!

I still drink the same beer I drank when I was in the 3rd grade. Still buy a case a day.

My two favorite beers... Cold and free. Either variation of those are good for me!

Well, I am a beer snob and although I can't nail it down to 1 or even 3 favorites, I am a beer connoisseur to the 10th power.

Most cringe on what I will spend on beers many times being $20 for a 12oz 4pk

I suppose I will name a few favorite Breweries

Founders

Bells

Stone

Great Divide

Oscar Blues

I like anything from an IPA to a Stout and usually gravitate towards high gravity and oak aged.

The guy at the specialty beer store I live near by knows be by first name and his eyes light up when he sees me.

I think he named his motorcycle after me too. lol

Unfortunately, I am not rich, I just have rich tastes. LOL

However, I have found a really good and relatively inexpensive high gravity stout that for the price I buy and drink a lot.

Brooklyn Breweries Black Chocolate Stout (10%) and it is only $6 a 4pk of 12oz bottles.

Not my favorite but my favorite for the price.

May still sound high to some but keep in mind it is a 10% alc beer so 1 is like 2 of others.

Check out Shorts if you can. They make some good beers.

Dark beer, stouts and unfiltered wheat beer are my faves. Not too much into IPAs, just too piney for my taste. Does anybody remember Little Kings? I remember those from almost 40 years ago. Little bitty bottles.

While I love IPA, I'm just burnt out on them.

I have come full circle, in a way.
Started on Miller/Bud/Coors in HS
Found German beers in the Army
Started homebrewing
Found Hops
Found bigger stuff like porters and stouts, then belgians and sours & Barleywines
then it was the BIG lagers like doppelbocks
Then it was Bock and then Marzen & Rauchbier
THen it was Kolsch and Pilsener
Finally Helles

Now, I mix it up, but Russian Imperial Stouts are my favorites (esp. Barrel Aged)
Pale Ales for the hops, with an occasional IPA
Helles or German Pils for refreshment

Love Cream Ale

Ok, now I have to try a Russian Imperial Stout. I’ve had Marzen, but I only see it occasionally.....love it. The latest that I tried and really like is Negra Modela.

When I judge competitions, I like to judge the Light Lagers and Pilseners categories.

There are usually 2 types of entries.
1) The guys who don't know what they are doing so they think "I'm gonna brew me some Bud!"
2) The guys who DO know how hard it is to get them right and they have perfected their processes to where they ARE right.

Cat 1 is easy to spot a bunch of flaws with just a couple sniffs and verify with a sip.
Cat 2 are the ones to enjoy and even savor, because they are only achieved by the very top homebrewers.
Plus, its a way to not get totally hammered because I'm saving my alcohol intake for the RIS and Barleywine flights. :D
