What's your favorite beer?

I do have love for high life in the bottles. The price is sure inviting.

I also hit up the mickeys hurricane and steel reserve....

I lived in the Prague a few years ago & drank the local Brew from the České Budějovice area & the town Budweis has long been well known for the beer brewed there since the 13th century (the German name for České Budějovice), is "Budweiser Beer"," The American lager was originally brewed as an imitation of the famous Czech original & I can tell you it's nothing like the original! It is a Superb Beer! In Spain I have the local brew "Mahou Classic" it tastes very smooth without the chemical taste of San Migel.
I'm getting thirsty now, calls for a nice cool Mahou
Cheers

If I was to throw a party I wouldn't invest in a good beer, I would simply grab Coors Light 36 Pack x2.

I like Budweiser, Heineken, Carlsberg and sometimes I drink Tuborg green and Holsten.

oh wow how did I miss this thread??? (I must have been drinking )

I love beer (perhaps a bit too much ) honestly, I have no single favorite beer... I like many different beers for many different reasons. each beer has it's own unique qualities. in the winter months I only drink "darker" beers, in the summer months I generally drink "lighter" or "clearer" beers. as I'm typing this message I'm drinking a Miller Genuine Draft (I won't mention how many I've consumed already )

I prefer thicker/darker beers, however the high prices ususally prevent me from enjoying them as much as I would like to. as a result, I buy common non-light beers such as Coors, MGD, etc (don't really care for budweiser).

I have recently started making my own beer. it takes about a month to make a 5-gal batch of homeade beer, but it is worth it making beer is actually quite simple, but there is alot of planning and preperation required to successfully produce a good tasting batch. if done correctly, there is no greater reward than being able to drink the beer that you "slaved" over for 4 weeks to get just right. also, it ends up costing about half the price to make your own ales than it costs to buy them "pre-made" at a store.

drink up! :chef:

Classic remark

The Czech beer mentioned above ... I've had 1 last Xmas. It was in a 6-Pack of Mix-European beers I received as a gift. Not bad

Asahi is fast becoming my choice of beers this month!

All these posts show is that there are good marketing reasons for why there are over 1200 different brands and labels of beer in this world. Further they show that there are few good reasons why people drink what they drink. Most beers are lousy drinks that luckily have alcohol in them. Most people drink them for the alcohol, not the wonderful flavors....

We ran a bar for many, many years, and made a lot of extra money betting that people could NOT spot their own favorite beer in a taste test.

Any body who thinks they can pick out their own beer from a panel of beers is being foolish if money is involved. Most beers are not distinctive enough to make a difference.

This entire thread is a joke...

Completely untrue! Hell if I wanted to just drink to get drunk I would drink liquor! It will get you drunk much quicker!

I bet you anything you could blind fold me and I could tell you the difference between Guiness and Budweiser! Another completely false statement based on opinion I presume.

Why did you bother even posting then?

But that would be easy. With 99 beers, there are at least 17 that taste like Guinness... I made my computer money for a long time betting against guys like you. Almost nobody can do it... Interestingly, Hamms drinkers could usually pick Hamms, and St Miguel drinkers could always tell St Miguel... and there is nothing like Bier 333 because the viscosity changes with every bottle. Most people think they can tell, but since they are already into the habit of buying only one or two labels, they don't realize how similar most are.

It is not enough to tell they are different. You have to pick your label... cooled to 38 degrees.


You want to put up the cost of a trip to Arizona, I will buy the room for a week, and the beer. Do you do PayPal?

Been drinking raybay?
Most punters will be able to tell the difference between Newcastle Brown Ale & their regular beer (I would put money on it & I run a bar in Spain now!)
Peace as always

what's that remark got to do with the price of Bananas?

So what's the weather out there like right now? I don't think it would take a whole week of testing to settle this! And name me 17 other beers that taste like Guiness please?!? I am looking for a cheaper alternative!

My favorite is Orangaboom, close second is Pilsner Urquell. Both cost way too much here. Moosehead is a alright alternative. Pislner and bock are great. I've made a few batches from canned extracts. One called Canadian Ale was fairly good, another I called Putrid Porter was rank (I messed up something.) I still drank it all.

I drink beer because of it's taste. I really do love a good beer ...
Having said that, I think i could pick which is which from a taste test.

Stella Artois is easily distinguishable (in my mouth), as is most others I drink.

I could pick a VB a mile away (from the smell alone!)

BTW: I've been into the German wheat beers lately too ... boy does your head hurt after a few of those tall buggers! :zzz:

Raybay, I am waiting......

I'd be upset if you couldn't, Guiness is rotten, tastes like a sunday lunch/road surface. Its definitely a one of a kind taste.

Actually I see it the other way around really! Guiness is an acquired taste I guess. When I said I could tell the difference, I meant that towards another post where it was said that people can not tell the difference in beers. They just drank to get drunk! lol

Acquired taste would be a good way of putting it. Do you not find it a meal in itself though?

The one time I tried Guiness was at a beer tasting contest (finished second, 8 for 17) it reminded me of a concoction I made as a child. It involved a mix of dirt and water....puke:

lol.....damn, am I the only American here that like Guiness?!?
