Favorite Beer?

[Greg Dent]

I enjoy an ice cold beer on a hot day. Maybe a few on a patio relaxing with friends. 

 

Lately I have been drinking a crevasse mad by Presidents choice. Its very clean taste with a smooth finish. 

 

In the winter I love a local beer called Waterloo dark. Made by Waterloo Brewing Company. Its a dark lager with a very creamy head. Long finish and stands up very well spicy food or the most robust steak.

Greg,

 

   In the  summer there is nothing better than a good Draft ROOT BEER, served in icey frosted mugs,

along with a good cheese coney dog, or hamburger. My version of heaven. When I was quite young

my father would load up the family, and take us to the local root beer stand to treat us, as did his father

before him. so it has become in our family a family tradition.

I wonder if anyone's tastes have changed since we discussed this before?

I still like Czech beer like Staropramen or Budvar (not the poor imitation called Budweiser in the States). They are similar to lagers but are NEVER to be drunk ice-cold, that just bleaches the flavour out of beer.

CAMRA just voted Timothy Taylor's Boltmaker as best beer in England (brewed in Yorkshire!)

I, too, vote for ROOT BEER

NewCastle Brown Ale imported from England ... since i had to go to the fridge to get the proper spelling, and it just hit 80 - there's no way I'm putting this Cold puppy back (it's not in the real mans code of ethics)   ...    thanks for the encouragement!   ... time to call a few aux. pioneers over.

I like a Fursty Ferret.  This summer been trying some lagers with grapefruit, and Fosters Radler with lemon.

[Julsey]

I'll take cider...

Ummm, I'm a beer person. I like the dark full bodied beers. Nothing better when you come in from the garden full of good 'ol brown dirt than a frosty bottle of beer.

Anyone had Jamaican ginger beer? Man that stuff is good.

I'll look for that one, sounds wonderful!  Ummm, enjoying a nice beer right now! Just climbed out of the garden and feeling good.

Hope everyone doesn't gag, but I drink my beer warm (yes even in the summer). My mother drank her beer that way and I'm the only one in the family that does. I normally go for a Miller Lite unless I go out and have to drink it cold at a restaurant. If it's gonna be a cold beer I prefer Samual Adam's "Cold Snap" or a dark, more bitter stout. I had a "Kentucky Beer Barrel" type of brew at a small brewery/kitchen a while ago that was the bomb! Love my root beer too (always drink that cold) - have to shuffle down to Culver's to get my fix every once in a while!

Are you serious? You aren't talking about Root Beer? I've had ginger beer with rum and that's pretty good (called a Dark and STormy I think).

[Nobody]

Nope, real deal. Try it you'll like it

[shali]

If I'm going to do this I want to do it right - any particular recommendation on the type of dark beer to use?

[well]

Anyone try mango beer

[Nobody]

I use Shiner Black. I would think any of the darks, especially if it has licorice tones would be good. Nothing bitter though.

[shali]

Personally I didn't even know Mango beer existed but I suppose it's like wine - you can make anything a beer or a wine!

Enjoyed a Terminator Stout at McMenamins after a hard day shopping with the wife. Warm day 64, fog over the ocean, humus plate and cold dark stout.

Great way to end the day.

We also have Rogue Brewery here in town, great selection, never had a bad one. Great place for lunch. Drop by and we will join you.

I so wanted to escape the 93 degrees heat today and go to the coast but too much to do. We have run out of caramel corn w/peanuts so Newport Wharf is on our to do list.

Wow never new there were so many Beer Nuts here       

[LeslieDean]

Just drank a nice crisp pumpkin ale---also enjoy the apple cider beers this time if year. The pumpkin had just a hint of pumpkin but was very good.

Is mango beer bitter like hops based beers?

I am the oddball that enjoys wine and can't get into beer despite trying.
