What's your favorite BEER?

[Seasoned Oak]

I drink a lot of beer, but even I don't have it for breakfast. ;-)

Just picked up a case of Merry Monks and few large of Hardywood Gingerbread Stout.
.

Im not a big Monks fan ,Seem to be tasting pepper in there or something like it. I did pick up a half case of Mad Elf Ale which is a lot more to my taste. ID grab a case of Weyerbacher)Double Simcoe too if the suppliers around here ever stock one.

When I am not drinking home made stuff, I will buy the Founders Brewing Co. All Day IPA.

GBS is good stuff. I have a few 750's aging from previous years releases. I have been to busy with the new house to get to the brewery for the releases this year but hopefully I can trade for a bottle or two. Another one to visit if you are in the Richmond area is The Answer.

Never done that, might think about that. I think 6 years is a bit long. A high ABV beer can be kept a while longer, a year or so, but after that long too many chemical reactions will take place to keep it drinkable.

i made a honey wheat ale. it was typical straw yellow and came out really nice 4.8 abv. 6 years go by and i opened one up wow black like guinness. smelled good. i figured i take a small sip. it lost some of it's honey flavor but so smooth and still had the wheat taste. i had a friends 10 year stout still good and very strong alc wise. i was just seeing if any one else tried aged beer

I have some coors light someone (not me) put in my beer fridge about 10 yrs ago ,cant give the stuff away, do you think it got any better ?????

 

[Jan Pijpelink]

It's probably vinegar now. BTW if it has "light" it the name, it cannot be real beer.

Tried a Founders Backwoods Bastard wee heavy scotch ale today. Tasty... but big.

In related news, I've had heartburn all evening.

My sentiments exactly,i usually dont allow anything with the code word"light" in my shopping cart. Light is code for cheap watered down fake beer.

That is one of the reasons I started home brewing.

Good one. Have yo u tried Duvel?

 

[Jan Pijpelink]

One of my all time favorites is Geuze Lambiek. Sour, but delicious.

Im going to take note of all these suggestions so when i go to the beer store ,i know what to sample. They specialize in single bottle sales and they must have 1000 different brands and flavors.

Belgium (9 million people) has over 2,000 different beers. Majority still brewed by monks. You can take a bicycle tour from monastery to monastery, starts at 9 am. Taste beer all day. Stops at 5 pm. Then you have the choice: cycle back or take the tour bus. Most people take the bus.

Not a real Pilsner fan, but I like Dommelsch (Netherlands) and Tiger (Singapore).

Maine has one of the finest breweries on earth: Allagash. Try their Curieux, or if you're a coffee lover, James Bean. Both speedy, but oh so worth it.

Rusty Rail out of Mifflinburg Pa. has 2 coffee brews both outstanding. Its a worthwhile stop if your in the area. They took a huge train station and made a gorgeous Brewery, Restaurant and Sports Bar .Place is huge . You wont get a seat without a reservation for dinner but you can always order from their sports bar all of whats on the beer menu and a lot of what on the food menu. Food is fantastic too. Prices are very reasonable on both.

I travel to Bellefonte once a month and pass that town. I might stop by one day.
