Bartledoo Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 The kind with alcohol in it. I'm not much of a beer connoisseur, I do like the seasonals from Sam Adams though. There was a pub/brewery in Johnson City, TN, The Sophisticated Otter, that had a late summer ale called Honey Blonde. I've tried to find a market variety that has a similar flavor, but to no avail.

Who Dey Forever Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Budweiser of course. I also don't mind Coors light... Blue Moon Wild Blue (Blueberry lager) ... They also have one called Wild Red which is raspberry that I wanna try. I have also been drinking hard ciders lately. Angry Orchard and Woodchuck are so damn good.

Orange 'n Black Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Big fan of wheat beers - anything hefeweizen. If you want to try some delicious, delicious brews in the area, go check out Brewriver Gastropub on Riverside Drive down near Columbia Tusculum. Their brews are all great (try the River Water), the food is delicious, and the guy who runs it, Christian, is a riot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewdog Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 This company it in Cleveland and have won various accolades. I tried one at that Rusty Bucket which in the Dayton Mall parking lot. It wasn't my thing. I guess I have a very narrow palate for beer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Lakes_Brewing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigris Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I had Sam Adam's Summertime Ale before. Not being a big beer guy, that really tasted different (especially since I'm only accustomed to light beers). It was really filling. Blue Moon with an orange is tolerable. If I drink beer, and it's definitely a rarity, I go Bud Light. I'm not drinking for taste, but to get lit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Elflocko| Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Dogfish Head Samuel Adams Hoegarden Chimay Just about anything from Germany or Belgium There's a local brewer here called Tenaya Creek. They make the best brown ale I've ever had. Makes NewCastle taste like vinegar and goat urine. Oh, and Boddingtons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Dub Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Newcastle, afaik, only makes their brown ale. At least, that's all I've ever come across. Good stuff, but clear bottles are death on beer, so I usually get it on tap. They've started making mini-kegs of it though & they're awesome. Great Lakes is pretty good, I like the Commodore Perry. I tend to go for ales. Oatmeal Stout - Samuel Smith's makes the best one I've had from a bottle. They're not too hard to find. I like their Taddy Porter and seasonal Winter Welcome. They also make a couple of organic beers & a cider, if you're into that. Unfortunately they also use clear bottles for most of their stuff, so get it somewhere that seems to sell a lot of beer so it hasn't been on a shelf for months.

PutWittyNameHere Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Anything that's a Belgian quad. Best I've ever had is Gouden Coralas Grand Cru of the Emporer (blue). Most complex, and beautiful, taste I've ever experienced in a beer. The after-taste seemingly lasts forever and is nearly as good as the initial drink. Chimay is a fantastic beer, and one I love, but this beats the pants off Chimay. The awesome thing about quads is that you can age them and they get better (and more potent) with each year. The earliest I've had was from 2008, and I swear I had a religious experience while drinking it. It's widely considered to be the second best beer in the world by people who are way too stuck up for me to ever talk to (the first is Westvleteren, which, to my knowledge, can only be purchased from the abbey itself, in person, and one other beer store a few miles from the abbey).

Lewdog Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I absolutely can not drink dark, thick beers. I saw a show where it says some people have a genetic abnormality, where they have more of the taste buds that recognize bitterness. I also can't eat dark chocolate, or drink coffee. I most definitely prefer Mich Ultra and other very lite beers. I don't really like Bud Light, or any Budweiser beers for that matter, but the Bud Light with Lime is ok.

[/quote] Oh, I've definitely had Guldan Draak, it's certainly pretty far up the list. In fact, I accidentally got CRUSHED on it one night. The night started off innocently enough, and the Draak was going down like water...which ended up being a horrible thing. My friend later told me that I tried to sign my bill with the Batman symbol. Great, yet horrible night. As for IPAs, I just can't do them. I can't stand anything that's overly hoppy. In fact, that's what usually keeps me from buying variety packs. They always end up throwing some IPA into the mix, and I don't want to pay full price for 3/4 of a case. Some other belgian-styled beers on my short list: Straffe Hendrick 21st Ammendment's Monk's Blood (how can you not like a beer with that awesome name?) Anything else from Gouden Carolus (the Noel and Easter beers are particularly awesome) Sly Fox Ichor (brewed near Philly, PA. It's sort of become my cheap alternative to Grand Cru of the Emporer) Chimay Westmalle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really not a big fan of Paulaner or Spaten, though...and especially Spaten. Spaten is one of those beers that seems to appear at bars that want people to think they have a good selection, but really don't. And I always talk myself into getting one, and always end up regretting it. Drives me crazy. But Hacker-Pschorr was on the top of my list for Hefes for a long, long time. It's definitely a great beer. Then, I don't know if I got sick of it, or what, but I eventually switched over to Frankinskaner and haven't really looked back.

Dogfish Head's Punkin ale is excellent, as is Souther Tier's Pumking, and Schlafly's Pumpkin ale... I could go on and on about beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewdog Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 When I was 19 and home from The Ohio State University for the Christmas Break, I had a buddy who's dad was the manager for Heidilberg Wharehouse up in Dayton. Well I had worked during the summer, and they said I could work while I was home for the holidays. Well they had this policy there, that any broken cases had a separate room, and if employees wanted to put their own cases together, we could get them dirt cheap. They had some seriously good high priced stuff. Well, me and my buddy George, the manager's son, put together some cases to buy. We got another worker in the warehouse to buy them for us because, well we were only 19. I can't remember all the stuff I had in the case but it was full of seasonal beer. Two of about every kind, Winterale, Oktberfest, you name it. On Christmas Eve me and my cousin went over to a buddy's to play cards and drink beer. I drank the whole case, and boy was that a bad mistake. Mixing all those beers made me sicker than a dog. Even though Christmas was at my place, the only time I came out of my bedroom was to get a little to eat, then straight back to my room. I really haven't had a great palate for micro-brews since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
