I find Carlsberg Export to be a good solid dependable beer.
Good for everyday use. http://www.brewerschoice.net.au/imag.../carlsberg.JPG |
itty bitty Christmas bottles of Bud Lite.
cute, but not satisfying. |
Currently drinking a Two Vines Riesling, as I don't drink beer and I'm out of rum.
|
MGD, cuz my husband bought it. I like Dos Equis.
(Umm...this was last night) |
I had a bottle of Ola Dubh 12 last week. Truly magnificent. I still have a bottle of 16 and a bottle of 30.

I found a box of Newky Brwon on the basement so that is tipple of the moment. We used to drink this stuff by the crate load when we were students. It comes in dinky 12 oz bottles in the US ( british pint is 20 oz). I'm going to try and Brew up a barrel for the extended (:mad:) Christamas Break, probaby stout. |
This thread made me thirsty! So I searched and found a Miller Chill. :drunk:

Kool-Aid, with a drop of rum (and for you worriers, yes, Ted is home with me and the kidlet. Half days of work rock!)
|
the liquor store here is having trouble getting my favorite beer (Cole Porter, YUMSTERS!), because the distributor quit coming down here when gas prices went up. and his territory is protected. what a crock, huh? And, they are out of all of the barleywine beers I like. so tonight I had some Oak Barrel Stout. (yea, I'm a beer snob... :D)
|
Me too. I love a good Belgian Ale.

Beez Neez. My favourite beer atm...well, before I got myself up the duff of course...but I'll go back to it after I'm sure.
Attachment 20516 A unique Australian made specialty beer. Brewed with a blend of premium pale malted barley and malted wheats with an equal amount of pure light amber honey. The light malt palate with its sominating honey aroma and flavour create a pale light golden coloured beer with a moderate bitternsess. |

Can any of you beer lovers suggest a good beginner's beer for a girl who finds most of the beers she's tried so far to taste like piss? I've tried Coors, Bud, and Miller, and hate all of them. Disgusting. So where should I start with GOOD beers?
|
I never was much of a beer fan until I tried Dos Equis, the dark not the light. I'm certainly not a connoisseur and I don't think those who are would rank this beer at all, but I like it because it has a full flavor without being too sharp or bitter.
|
I tried a sip of the dark Dos Equis and wasn't too impressed... :(

the flavours become more full as the beer warms. Because it takes me about an hour to drink a beer, I will chill it fairly cold, then as I drink it the flavours slowly reveal themselves, as the beer warms. If you can get it, try Cole Porter. That is my favorite beer right now. It has a roasted chocolate-coffee flavour and it's pretty bitter. It's yummy. Or try Chimay blue label. That's a really good Belgian ale. |
Ahh, thank you, Sugarpop! I like sweeter tastes, and fruity... hence why it's been easier for me to really get into wines (I ADORE Muscadine!!), so long as the alcohol taste isn't too strong. I think I'll give some of the IPAs a try, since Ted usually has those lying about somewhere.
|
I can't find my fave beer in stores anymore--Pyramid Apricot Ale. Other fruit beers are yuk, but this was yum.
I'm sad. |
Ted and William brew their own honey mead. Now THAT'S good stuffs. And Ted makes his own wine too occasionally...
|
Nooo!!!1 If you don't like "beer" then IPAs are the worst next step you could take.
Try a Unibroue, like La Fin Du Monde (high octane but champagne-esque) or Ephmere (green apple flavored). |
a unibrow? Like Frida Kahlo?
|
jinx drinks Smirnoff Ice Light. It says 'flavored beer' on the bottle. they're good. try that
|
I generally don't like most IPA's and steer away from them. They tend to have a significant aftertaste. I love the stouts but note that a Guinness is quite different from a Beamish and a Murphy's. Belhaven makes a good one as well.
I like the creaminess of a Boddington's, which is a pub draught ale. Treasunk, I would recommend you try a Harp or Bass. I am a huge fan of Ales. I usually buy Newcastle which is a brown ale. |
If you don't like beer, just drink wine instead. Ever try apple cider? That's good too.
|
As a non bear drinker I find that Celis makes some beers that are about as unoffensive as they come.

I tried this a couple weeks ago. It seemed fitting. I went to isolate and start a fire in the ol art studio. And I guess it was good because it didn't last too long.

That's right, Cic.

Try some of the Belgian ales. They tend to be more sweet and winey flavoured. Here are a few good ones... Chimay blue label - http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/215/2512 Westmalle Trappist Dubbel - http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/208/674 Brasserie Des Rocs Triple Imperiale - http://www.specialtybeer.com/beer,in...imperiale.html Belzebuth is a French ale. I like it a lot, when I'm in the right mood. It's very strong (alcohol content) and it's pretty sweet. http://www.specialtybeer.com/beer,index,belzebuth.html Dogfish Head Raison D'Etre is a great beer with some sweetness to it. - http://www.dogfish.com/brewings/Year...re/7/index.htm If you like bitter flavours, try some of the barleywines Train Wreck is a great one - http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/762/35477 Hog Heaven - http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/30/1490 Old Marley - http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/696/21548 Or porters and stouts. Mackeson's is a good stout a little more on the sweet side - http://beerblog.genx40.com/archive/2...ust/quicknote1 Cooper's is also very good - http://www.thebrewsite.com/2008/11/1...xtra-stout.php Dogfish Head India Brown ale - http://www.dogfish.com/brewings/Year...e/12/index.htm Terrapin India Brown Ale - http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/2372/36195 Those are just a few of my favorites. You might also want to try some German ales. I'm not overly fond of German beers, but my SO loves them. |
New Castel is a Good Beer to start with
Belgin ales Rock !! Specialy the Tripples !!! |
OHMYFUCKINGGOD! Miller is the ultimate skank beer. Nasty fucking beer.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a kick out of these napkins I found at Busch Gardens a few weeks ago, considering Anheuser-Busch's acquisition by Belgian InBev...
|
This is my most favorite beer in the world right now... by the GODS it's yummy.
http://www.ilovemainebeer.com/2008/03/ahhh.html I have one of these chilling in the fridge right now. I tried it last year this time (it's seasonal, only comes out at Christmas). Can't wait to drink it! Lump of Coal - http://www.sheltonbrothers.com/beers...asp?BeerID=151 "Looking forward to a depressing holiday? Here is liquid consolation. This 8% bittersweet chocolate stout is the best you could hope for in these dark times. Actually, come to think of it, considering how bad you’ve been, this little coal-black gem is more than you deserve for Christmas this year. The handiwork of vastly talented (but altogether too cheery) master brewer Peter Scholey, Lump of Coal is the perfect stocking stuffer for the beer lover or manic depressive in your family." :D |

http://www.wallywine.com/p-13541-vic...iliateid=10098 you can buy beer online? individual bottles?! awesome! oh,...and this is damn good beer too. 9%abv. hic! |
I'm not fond of beer but recently tried one called Blue Moon. Not bad. It doesn't have the bitter taste that I don't like. :p
|
you would like the monkey then
|
I want "Tactical Nuclear Penguin", 32%, 64 proof.

Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale
better than Jacks Pumpkin beer which for me, Jacks will give that cheap beer head ache and doesn't taste like pumpkin like Bill's pumpkin ale does. It's good.I have not tried Blue Moon Pumpkin. It's suppose to be good too. |
Blue Moon is my go-to for beer, with a big fat slice of orange. Or a good heffeweisen with lemon. (Prefer wine or a vodka concoction though. Less filling, tastes great.)

Yuengling for me. Nothing too fancy.
|
my daily drinker is light lager, glatt.....ever tried that?
http://www.yuengling.com/images/beers_light_lager.jpg it's like a cross between lager and miler lite(which i also like) i wish it came in cans like this: http://www.brandweek.com/bw/photos/s...r_aluminum.jpg i buy a 9 pack of that every once in a while, and open one at the start of the night.....and refill it with YLL or monkey as the load mounts. it's thicker aluminum, so it retains its temp better, and you can screw that lid down tight and put your beer away if you start to pass out with half a beer to go. |
Interesting. I like Miller Lite too. Maybe I should try the Yuengling version.

It's just about finished fermenting now and I will probably keg it this weekend, should be ready just in time for the holiday. I've done it before, just a few times. |
Samuel Smith's Nut brown is my favorite second is Bellhaven Scottish Ale. But they are too expensive for everyday drinking.
For special occasions, I drink Killian's Red and Yuengling Traditional Lager. For sitting around and drinking, I like Coors Extra Gold. |
