You're right Bubbonehead on that! Our local grocery store Parkers has a build your own 6-pack and I tried both the honey wheat and sunset wheat and I really liked them both.

I just started brewing this year as well. American ales and IPAS are my favs right now. I WAS a bud man, and have been for many many years until now. I ran out of home brew a fews weeks back and had to drink a couple of buds and they tasted like crap. I now have three fermenting,

one in the keg, and two cases ready to go. I don't plan on running out again.

Morning Dave, One of my old favorites was Blitz Weinhard, brewed there in Portland, Oregon.

Untill my first heart surgery in 1982, I think I drank enough of Blitz to float the queen Mary

Took my German made 3 stooges mug to the Schnitzel shack today so when i go back i can always drink from my private mug.

0.5L

I love that mug. And of course I love the Schnitzel shack. I was just at the Iron Hill Brewery up in NJ near Philly. They had the best Jaegerschnitzel I ever had. And a pretty good IPA too.

I have become a big fan of Russian River and their sours/lambics. Not to mention the Plinys. Was fortunate enough to try the collaboration with Sierra Nevada a few days back. Pretty limited run, but worth it if you can track it down.

I've currently got a Pliny clone dry hopping right now. But it's really hard to replicate what they do over there, sine they use hop extracts during bittering and I think it's a proprietary blend.

It is obvious, just as with BBQ, we all have different taste, even with beer.

St.Arnolds Lawnmower Ale, great summer beer. Brewed in Houston,Texas.

Yea, I'm from Troy OH, you pretty much have to go to the big stores to get Coors heavy around here and they usually only have a couple 12 packs at a time. Gas stations and drive throughs forget it, it's just the silver bullet. Can't complain though, i've consumed a million Coors lights over the years lol!

 

[eyeglitch]

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.

I hear you on the Pliny !!!!!!! I currently have on tap a Blind Pig clone that buddy brews , also have Green Flash West Coast IPA and GF Hop HEad Red....

 

[deepholedriller]

My favorite would have to be Moosehead lager, it's the oldest fully independent brewery in Canada

Try it sometime you'll thank me

 

[august west]

 Dale's Pale Ale (actually an IPA) from Lyons, CO. That and Ranger IPA from New Belgium in Fort Collins, CO. I prefer both of them from cans. Seirra Nevada Topredo 16 oz. cans as well!

   Skunkiest beer out there. I mean that in a good way!

My favorite beer was Olimpia Beer made in Tumwater , Washington. Remember when?

 

[rabbithutch]

Beer is good!

Free beer is really good!

Some have to have it chilled to near freezing, but I enjoyed drinking pub-made bitter in a few places in the UK. Has to be good to drink it at room temp.

I've been through a good many brew pubs. There weren't many of them around when I was a young buck. Mostly in those days I drank Miller High Life.

About 25 years ago, after spending some time in British Columbia, I got a taste for LaBatt's Blue. Used to get it on tap at Ivar's clam bar on the Seattle waterfront. I don't see it here in Texas. Probably the most common beer here is Shiner's of one sort or another.

Great question. Interesting thread.

I'm a Seasonal Drinker. As the seasons change so do my favorites. This is one of my favorite seasons starting now, Oktoberfest! Right now a big Spaten is awesome after work. As it starts to get colder I like stouts, Maybe a Lefthand Milkstout.  When spring arrives, IPA.  Gotta love a 90 minute, Hopslam, or Hopmouth. In the summer something light maybe fruity like a strawberry blond.  All beer is good, seasonal is a great way to stay out of a rut.  Now, as a cheap goto lager you cant beat the full flavor of a PBR.
