Favorite BEER???
I just picked up some Sam Adams Hefeweizen at the store--I'd never tried it before, and was a bit skeptical. It's actually pretty darn tasty! Any other good choices out there? My favorite would have to be whatever I drank all the time when I was in Prague in June. It was so good that now I can't remember what the hell it was! But hey, the beer IS stronger over there....

You were probably drinking Budweiser in Prague. REAL Budweiser. Budweiser Budvar. It's sold over here as "Czechvar."
Sam Adams isn't bad for a large production beer pretending to be a microbrew. I've had a lot of different beers, and keep looking out for newer and more interesting varieties. I do have a fondness for really dark beers. Flying Fish Midas Touch was phenomenal, even if it is damn expensive.

I'm not a drinker but I have a friend who loves Yuengling. Me, I can't get past the stench of alcohol.

My next favorite is Sweetwater 420 and Blue ... it's a microbrew down in Atlanta. They won't sell outside of central Georgia - which is a real shame, but I would love to see some of that stuff here in the north. "When it hits your lips, it tastes so good!" |

Saranac lager is probably my favorite. I've had many different great beers. Speaking of Czech beers, Pilsner Urquell is pretty good.
Did you know that all beers are either classified as a lager or ale. |

My bad ... I must report an error in my favorite beer reportage ... Midas Touch is produced by Dogfish Head, not Flying Fish.
Flying Fish does make really yummy beers though.

I like Stella Artios - draft... don't know if you can find it draft in the US, but it is so good. It has a very sweet taste, not very bitter. Very, very lovely!

As for favourites, I wouldn't say I have a favourite beer as much as a favourite brewery. New Belgium out of Fort Collins has a lot of really excellent beers. "Loft" is apparently seasonal brew, tried it this weekend, and it was fantastic. Their most popular beer, "Fat Tire" is very hoppy, and great in moderation. Their wheat beer, "Sunshine", has got a great spice to it and the hint of citrus makes it nice for hot days. |

mmmmm beeeeeerrrrrrrr......
My favorite? I dare say the one I'm holding in my hand.... when I don't have a single malt Scotch, or a martini (which is what I have at the moment). My overall favorite kind of beer is wheat beer. I'm especially partial to Sierra Nevada Wheat. I also tend to lean toward German imports and American micros of the light persuasion... I'm not a big fan of stouts & bitters. Dogfish and Magic hat are two of my favorite micros... also Victory and Brewery Hill in the local category. Speaking of local, all Philadelphia-area beer lovers owe themselves a trip to Total Wine in Claymont, DE, just over the PA/DE border, to gawk at the selection of beer (and wine and liquor for that matter). |
