Anything but light. PBR, Falls City, and Sterling are good mass-market brews and there's nothing wrong with High Life either. I'll more than likely buy Steel Reserve though, since my motivation really isn't flavor.
I don't care to spend too much, so don't really have much experience with real high end beers. One of the best I've tasted was some time ago and brewed in Louisville, KY. I can't remember the name. It might have been from Bluegrass Brewing Co..
I'd like to begin home brewing some day only because a reflux still might get my door kicked in.

Deuchars Caledonian IPA, Bombardier, Theakston Old Peculiar, Newcastle Exhibition (NOT Brown Ale)...proper beers lol!!
On a more serious note, I didn't realise that I can't stand American beer because a lot is mashed with corn and rice - European palates aren't suited.
Dudley - get into it!! I have 5 gallons of Scottish Export conditioning right now, 5 gals of Irish Stout in secondary fermentation, and 4 gallons of rocket-fuel cider on the go.

Guinness, blue moon, bud light wheat, budweiser, and Beck's. Shit just about any, if I'm not buying.

Ooof...living in the pacific northwest I enjoy a vast sea of beer to choose from. Love many of the microbrews. In order of preference....
Stouts: oatmeal, chocolate, russian, whatever...the darker the better. Best when on nitro. Mmmmmmmmmm chewy!
Porters: nearly as good as stouts (a bit too sweet sometimes)
Brown Ales: deliciously malty...best if on nitro
Pale Ales: not overly powerful on the hops, a good summer beer
IPA: mmm, sometimes you need a good, strong, hoppy brew
Wheat Ales: I get a hankerin' for these occasionally.
Amber Ales: a bit too sweet at times, but some are quite nice.
Belgian style ales: not great but enjoy them from time to time
Lagers: my fridge refuses to accept them, so I don't drink 'emPosted 2 years ago # -
Doh... I left out Cask ales and Scottish Ales.
Cask ales probably rate right after Browns for me. Unfortunately, these aren't widely found in the States. I enjoy them whenever I am in the UK though.
Scottish ales are probably right below casks.
Hmmm...the more I think of it, anything between the stouts and ambers frequently change position in my list

Brazz,
AB brands usually don't agree with me after a few swallows, HOWEVER, Bud Light Wheat is rather tasty and have started to enjoy it on my time off... I started to enjoy wheat beers in general.

UUUMMM wheat beer...

Stouts! Guinness, Oscar's Oatmeal Stout, Most of the Imperial stouts I have had the good fortune to taste.
For a pale ale I like Bass
DON'T like most American beers.

Have either of you (uncle & pstl) ever tried Young's Double Chocolate Stout? It is YUMMMMMY! Although, wayyyyyy too easy to finish quickly!
Posted 2 years ago # -
Hey Bytor,
It's not one I've heard of.
Does it taste of chocolate?Posted 2 years ago # -
Young's? Where is it brewed?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Guinness(only on tap bottle is nasty), Smithwicks(again on tap), Harp, George Killians Irish Red, Yuengling black and tan or porter, and lastly a honey beer me and my neighbor make with a bee farm we own and a wheat beer we make.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Young's is brewed in England, and yes, it is quite chocolaty. I've been able to find it in a bottle and in a draught can (the ones with the nitro widget in them). The nitro really makes it a nice creamy stout. Here is a link to some reviews of it: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/664/73

I like Micro-Brews, Hefeweizen, Belgian style, and some stout beers.
I have had Young's Double Chocolate Stout and it is very tasty.

I like several German Pilsners, and love English Ales and Porters. America had really come on lately with some great craft beers, and ales. Sometimes I just want an ice cold Bud.

When the budget alllows, Guiness draft or Dos XX. Most of the time it is Yuengling's Traditional Lager.
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane.Posted 2 years ago # -
I like Yuengling as well Chuck.
The Lager is my favorite as well.
It has two things I love.
Good taste and inexpensive.

Finnish beer is not that good compared to its german or english brothers, but i do still enjoy the occasional Karjala here and there.
When i'm on a little wealthier day, it's Newcastle Brown Ale, Gourmet Dark, Spitfire or a beer that really caught my eye when i first saw it, Tia Loca.
It's actually good, but you've got to wonder what's going on when Hitler (Or a person with a close resemblance to Hitler) is strutting around with his hand in the air.

Why would a German beer have the Spanish name "Crazy Aunt", much less that particular subject matter.
I doubt one could find that label here.
Who would want to?Posted 1 year ago # -
I would buy it just for the campy label. It's not often you come across a German Beer with a Spanish name and Hitler as a marketing scheme. My crazy aunt Hitler ha ha ha ha. I don't drink a lot of beer, but when I do I prefer microbrews and European beers.
Posted 1 year ago # -
And, everyone who likes microbrews or imported beers should get to know Unibroue. They are a brewer out of Quebec Canada whose old world brewing methods have been responsible for some of my most memorable and sublime beer experiences. Nothing quite like a glass of "La Fin Du Monde" and a brown to bright va flake.
Cheers.

Here in San Diego County we are fortunate to have some great small brewers, even a couple you might have heard of. Karl Strauss and Stone Brewery come to mind. I also like Guinness and Smithwicks (draft) Bass Ale, Bohemia and Pacifico (Mexican), Sam Adams produces some tasty stuff (their honey Porter is a favorite) as does Full Sail, Pyramid, Anchor Steam and...now I'm thirsty.
Posted 1 year ago # -
I am all about the Spaten Optimator. That is one delicious beer!
Mason jars and bale top jars, mason jars and bale top jars.... that is all!

Dune summed it up pretty good for me (some days nothin' beats a cold bud) but I do enjoy Sam Adams products especially Winter Lager.
A few more favorites: Lion Stout, Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock, Bell's Best Brown, and Old Rasputin.

not a lot of beer consumed these days, but in times past there was a Japanese beer called Sapporo that was pretty decent--the import isn't much good--it was wonderful on Hokkaido--
American beers are ok if you're thirsty--pabst blue ribbon or bud work for me--in my bachelor days i had a seven course meal every night; a 25 cent burrito and a 99 cent six pack of texas pride--

If I'm drinking American it is almost always Sam Adams. The mass produced beers by Miller and A. Busch usually offend my pallat. I'm loving the craft beer movement that America is going through, though. I also like the darker European beers. I like Guinness, Belhaven Scottish Stout, and Meredsous 8. IPA's are also pretty good. I'll drink some of the lighter beers such as pilsners, but it's gotta be from someone that takes a little more pride in their work than most American styles. The greatest beer I've ever had was St Sebastian's Grande Reserve. I paid $16 for a pint and it was worth it, but I've not found it since that one time.

Still haven't found a beer that tastes good yet...LOL

I like beer, I wouldn't say I'm a pro about it, but I definitely know what I like, and that's what matters.
My current favorites: Lagunitas IPA, New Belgium Ranger IPA
Other favorites that I can always go back to: Hoegaarden, Blue Moon, Fat Tire, and Boddington's.One beer that I absolutely loved, but don't know if I'd ever purchase again was a limited edition Sam Adam's Chocolate Bock. It was $15 for a bottle of beer; it was like the chocolate wine of beers - in fact, it even looked like a wine bottle, aside from the pieces of metal fixed to it. Was it worth the $15? To me, it definitely was.

That's the way i like it. Old Rasputin is my personal absolute favorite. I will have to try irish death. i mainly like maltier things and shun this new 64 and 55 calorie piswater craze, not to name brand names.

I used to drink a lot of Falls City. My friends used to make fun of me for it. The brew disappeared for a couple years and is now back with a throwback to their 1930's pale ale. I can't wait to try it. It's made nearby in Louisville, KY and is on tap in several places.
One thing I hated about the old cases is that you could barely carry one across the parking lot before the handle tore. The same with Sterling.
Edit: Thinking back, I used to get a lot of grief for drinking PBR too; now it's hip and nearly cliche.

Yeingling also makes an Ale. Lord Chesterfield Ale very good in moderation.

They always advertised Hudepohl at the Cincinnati Reds baseball games since it was made there. My parents always drank that or Weidemans Beer since we lived below there.

I know this is an old thread but one I can't help reviving!
Beer is my first love and I feel compelled to discuss it wherever possible. It can be full of flavour, utterly thirst quenching, a drink of moderation, contemplation and celebration. I hope some day I can directly make my living from beer. (I currently work in a liquor store, so that's a start.)
Unfortunately our liquor board is heavily biased towards wine and we have one of the worst beer selections in the country. With that said, I haven't tried too many brands or styles. My favourite beer to date was Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout. Rich with just enough sweetness and carbonation for balance, smooth and full of a molasses-cocoa character. A lightweight at 7% alcohol as Imperial Stouts go, it was just warm and roasty enough to give me joy. I'm down to my last two bottles after buying almost three dozen available for a limited time at $5 a pop last March. Fuller's London Porter comes in second - my girlfriend brought a few bottles back from Halifax and I really enjoyed drinking them as I smoked.
These days I find I don't have any go-to beer. Probably Pilsner Urquell because it's clean tasting yet well made and hoppy compared to everything else we have available. I took to home brewing not too long ago because I was sick and tired of having no options. Even the three microbreweries we have locally are no good. Due to space constraints, I can only do extract with grains, but the batches I have made so far were superior to what I've been buying and at a much lesser price. For a six pack of domestic like Canadian or Budweiser, you're looking at $12.50; six pack of Newcastle Brown for example, almost $16.50. Just as bad as our tobacco taxes. The impulse that drives me to make my own beer is actually the same one that has me seeking out imported tins for my pipe - a desire to make my own choices.
Are there any other home brewers out there? For low cost beyond your initial start up, you can use high quality malt, hops, and liquid yeasts for fresh and authentic tasting beer! I never thought I could do it, I really encourage anyone who's curious to give it a try. It's easy to start, a lifetime to master.
It's not too late to amend your Christmas Wishlists!
