Favorite Beer?

[Aeolius]

whose talking dream car. the '48 champion is what i drove in high school.

Mine in HS was a '78 VW microbus. Back then one could drink at the age of 18, which brings this moderately back on topic.

Indeed it is. Best patio in Vancouver (and that's going some -- Vancouver ain't got much culture, but we got patios), great (if a little overpriced) food, and fine, FINE beer.

Any ENWorlders come up to Vancouver, I'll show you and you can judge for yourselves.

If I return to Vancouver ever, I'm taking you up on that. Already judged but, you know, free beer!

'if I can see through it, it's not beer'

It's piss!

A man after my own heart!

I generally subscribe to the 'if I can see through it, it's not beer' philosophy. Guiness is of course the pinnacle of the brewer's art.

I'll also drink Negro Modelo, Old Speckled Hen, and I love Caledonian Amber, which is impossibly hard to find in my area, but I can get Bellhaven which is almost as good.

I'm blessed to live a few minutes from the Brickskeller in D.C., which features a several-hundred item beer and whiskey menu, so I get to try lots of unusual stuff when the mood hits.

Guinness is the Nectar of the Gods...although it is best sipped from the Godsfont itself...the Guinness brewery in Dublin (lapses into a Guinness Coma).

The Brickskeller? We shall have to imbibe there one day...maybe we can get Destan to come join us !

some of my favorite beers:

Lambic
Franz-Konner Heffe Weise (sp)
Guinesse
Bass
Killians (as bar beer, since its cheaper than the other four).

Favorite beers to cook with:

Guinesse (great in stew and marinating steaks)
Warsteiner (killer brats with this stuff)

 

[The Other Librarian]

Current fave is McEwan's.
Also partial to:
Fuller's ESB
Bass
Murphy's Stout
Newkie Brown
Old Speckled Hen
Kingfisher
Sapporo
Living in Texas means Shiner natch, and the St Arnold Brown Ale and stouts are pretty good too.

Dixie Black Voodoo from my beloved New Orleans

One of the best American beers, for sure.

 

[humble minion]

Boags, Cascade Premium, Hahn Premuim, Sand Hill, Cut Snake.

As far as non-Aussie beers go, Hoegaarden, Budvar (the Czech one), and a really bizarre hazelnutty beer from Gottingen, Germany, whose name escapes me. It has raspberries preserved in it, but don't let that put you off...
