What's your favorite BEER?

[smokedragon]

My favorite fancy beer is La Fin du Monde. French for "the end of the world".

But you have to like a really strong, very flavorful beer. A great one to sip by fire with old friends.

I am tried and love all kind of beer, strong stout, IPA, scotch beer.... Really a lot of beer and I really love beer. But La Fin du Monde is just too much for me, I have tried and re-tried it thru the years as my tasting have got better ( I think anyway). But last time for la fin du monde qas 2 yers ago, and I could not finish it.

It is certainly not for the faint of heart

A very unique, very strong, and very complex flavor.

But, from the same brewer, the raftman is a pretty good beer ( i pretty sure we already mentionned it earlier in this thread )

I am picking up some Dogfish Olde School Barleywine tomorrow, I missed the last releases. Will let you know how it is. 15% ABV

Most barleywine beers are up there. Too sweet for most, and even those who like them (me) usually consider them an occasional beer, if there ever was such a thing. Locally, we have the aptly named barleywine beer, Weyerbacher Blithering Idiot. I usually pick up one case before the holidays, along with Delirium Noel and Mad Elf. All quite flamable.

The hard root beer was pretty lousy.

You can say that again, most are made with malt liquor, now that tasted like cough syrup.

Now that looks like a beer for sitting in front of the wood stove on a cold winter's night.

That's a good local American lager. Hard to find in WI. The Doylestown Hotel bar was still open when I had my last one.

I keep 15 different varieties of beer in stock and the most often requested is Miller Genuine draft at $22 a case. I have some varieties that Are $100 a case and can hardly give them away. I like yuengling lager as well and try to keep some on hand. Just got some Redds strawberry ale and dont like it but my guest,s seem to. To me strawberry and beer just dont mix. IMO.

Got a respiratory virus from the kids last week right after I got 2 growlers filled and have been fighting it off, they are now sitting in the fridge going bad

They just released this one last week for the first time in a few years: http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/19897/58526/

About 6 months ago a craft beer draught station opened down the road from me. Its been great. A couple times a month I fill up on some local and/or not so local brews on draught. Last week I had Mad Elf. In November I was getting a delicious pumpkin by a local brewery Crooked Ladder Brewing Co, Outa My Vine. A few other miscellaneous beers. I'll be heading there tonight as I'm having some buddies over.

What are you drinking for new years eve?

You know, alcohol has antiseptic properties .

My local watering hole just refurbed the bar and put in Guinness. Still one of my fav's.

I'm drinking from a keg of Northwinds' Garage Fridge IPA. I can't get any more local.

Nothing wrong with Guinness, always try to have a few cans in the fridge for when I just want that creamy head and smooth taste.

Always think its cool I am drinking water from Ireland where my forefathers are from.

I'm sipping on warsteiner tonite. Good stuff

leffe tripel very very smooth

(broken image removed)

 

[Ashful]

Interesting. Didn't know Leffe had a Tripel.

Tonight's brew: Stone Stochasticity Quadro Triticale, Belgian style quad.

Yuengling... meh, corn beer. Good while mowing the lawn on a hot day, or for grabbing a can out of the bilge of the boat between races, not much else. Singing its praises is like claiming the '78 Nova you had in high school is somehow comparable to your neighbor's new E-class.

Happy New Year.

The e- class is euro trash, 80,000 mile planned life span on all suspension and the TRANSMISSION. Bet the chevelle still is running. Yuengling might not be Belgian and I've had so much of their lager that I can't drink it anymore but its privately owned and made into the USA.
