[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 1711240, member: 259"] Huh. I actually don't like Guinness much at all: like most cream stouts, it is IMO too bland and flat. Give me a good porter, though, and we're in business. My favorite beers are from two local microbreweries. [i]Asheville Pizza and Brewing[/i] has got a sublime India Pale Ale, Shiva IPA, that is the perfect complement to a pizza (and to a bad movie, which you can watch for two bucks in their theater). And [i]Jack of the Wood[/i] has got a Gold Ale that just goes down so smooth. It's what my wife and I served at our wedding, and was even a big hit with folks who regularly stick to lagers. If I'm going bottled, my default is Sweetwater Brewing Company's 420 Extra Pale Ale or their IPA. My wife isn't as fond of IPAs as I am--she thinks they taste too much like perfume--so we switch around which one we get. It's from a brewery in Atlanta, and is fantastic. I had no idea that Widmer's is partially owned by Anheiser-Busch; when did that happen? Their hefeweizen is the beer that introduced me to the joys of malt; before i tried it, I'd never had a beer I liked. I've still never had a hefeweizen besides theirs that I like much; most hefeweizens, like most Belgian Whites, just taste weird, like wet dogs or egg whites, to me. Daniel [/QUOTE]
