Beer drinkers?

[Grimlock]

:D I'm having a pint of Guiness at the moment. Just picked up some Blue Moon yesterday, had 2 and decided I didn't like it. So, what is everyone else drinking? What's you favorite?

Did you slice up an orange and put it in the Blue Moon bottle? That's the only way to drink em.

I like all kinds of beers except really cheap stuff like Milwaukee's Beast.

[gobo]

I'd sooner drink beer than coffee, but I pretty much hate 'em both. My local friends love Abita Amber. All I can say is that Abita has the only beers that I don't think smell like sewage. :evilgrin:

Same here. Although, I'm not big on citrus tasting beer, IPA or light beer. I much prefer darker beers like stouts, porters, black & tans, etc. My favorite "cheap" beer though is undoubtedly Yuengling, which never lets me down. Sam Adams is good too.

I'm also a sucker for the holiday brews - Pumpkin ale, Winter ales, Sam Adams Cranberry Lambic, etc. I don't like Summer ales though. Too citrus tasting for me.

[pannoni1]

I'm not much of a beer drinker. When I was about 10, at some family party I accidentally drank a small bit of beer. At the time I felt "Ewww! It tastes like oil!" Then I was embarassed that it was beer. But due to my negative reception, I easily held off until legal age. I then tried a sip of beer, but still didn't like the taste. The only time I ever drank a full glass of beer was during a trip to New Orleans, and it was on Bourbon Street. It was lite since I didn't want to get real drunk, but even then I needed a little assistance from my brother to finish it.

I do like red wine somewhat, though I like to drink to moderation.

Ack. I'm not a friend of the pumpkin beer.

[Peanut]

I have never drank in my life.

[愛]

I have never drank in my life.

Yeah, Master Chief would say otherwise.

I think beer tastes disgusting, but hey...whatever.

[MrPliggins]

I like the Great Lakes beers in the Cleveland area. At the moment, Christmas Ale is great, especially with cinammon and sugar around the edge of the glass. Other than that, I like to drink Sam Adams or Yuengling, or go to brew houses for craft beers. I can definitely understand people who don't like beer. It's an acquired taste.

[TheCanadiandrome]

I don't always drink but when I do I prefer Dos Equis! Lol!

Actually I usually go with Molson Canadian or Molson Export or Pilsner. Occasionally Corona as well, no lime

[Barkworm]

German beer is far better than any other beer in the world. Fact.

[Peanut]

I really like some German beer, but others I've had taste like absolute sh*t. Like...worse than American beer. I work with high-class Germans, so I've had a ton of it.

[Barkworm]

Yeah, American beer sucks, Australian and most Asian beer is also terrible. There are some decent French and British ales. Belgian beer is also interesting, mainly because it's so gimmicky.

[mysterycolor]

i am more of a fan of whiskey and vodka... so, i rarely drink beer... but when i do, it is dos equis (cause i am the most interesting woman in the world, duh!) but realistically i typically drink yuengling- just my non-expensive yummy favorite :)

[jeff the cheff]

I actually work in a brewery now and am going to school in a year to become a master brewer. So yes, I love beer.

@Barkworm: I'd like to know what your experience with American beer is, because there are plenty of small breweries here that certainly do not suck. I would assume that American beer in Germany has a similar problem to German beer in the U.S, which is poor storage and freshness issues. But when I do find good German beer I love Weihenstephaner Hefeweizen and Vitus, and just about anything from Ayinger.

[Powder]

Not really a beer guy but I do like Malt Liquor.

[Luzmagica]

Yeah, Master Chief would say otherwise.

Same here...I dont drink alcohol ...and the first time a try taste in my tongue a sip of beer (you know....I was curious to know something so popular how taste was...) .... it seem to me tooo much Bitter to be pleasant to taste....

...Anyway........ you can always invite me to a sweet orange juice, a smoothie or a soft-drink/fresh drink! :tgrin:

[Candy Kappa]

Pfff, screw beer, I go for Mjod, like a good Norseman should.

[That Matt Guy]

I like Mexican beers myself, but I'd rather have liquor over beer anytime.

The problem is probably that a lot of the smaller breweries also don't get a lot of distribution, or so little that it may as well be none. Just like most products, the thing you're always going to be able to find is the big name stuff and where American beer is concerned you may as well drink piss water. Also, in Canada the entire industry is under government control, so it's not like I can run to some place that specializes in small-run local brew. I've gotta go to the LCBO or The Beer Store and buy whatever it is they may be carrying.

Of course, this is where family members that constantly go to and from the US are extremely helpful. That and getting me my guilty pleasure (Malibu Mango) for $10 instead of f*cking $36.

[Logan]

Funny that this thread caught my eye.

I've never had a drink. The closest was rubbing alcohol a couple of years back. I hate the smell of beer, don't like the idea of getting drunk, and I have a lot of alchies in my family. Also, my various medicines I've taken through the years haven't allowed for it.

But I suddenly got interested in the idea of giving it a try. I started chatting up a girl at work and we got to talking about it. In other words... she's hot, she likes beer, so I'm willing to sell out.

Any recommendations for a light-weight?

[Andrew NDB]

No beer for me. Not for like 5 years.

My recommendation is to not drink rubbing alcohol. WTF?

It was an attempted suicide.

ouch! damn dude! :tsad:

I know what it's like to be in that kind of mental state, so I'm not trying to be super mean here, but the last couple posts made me piss my f*cking pants.

Jeez...

I'm glad I can just enjoy beer for beer...

[mysterycolor]

Dude, no worries. I make light of the incident all the time. I'm probably the least sensitive about it out of my whole family.

[Spitfire]

German beer is far better than any other beer in the world. Fact.

I second this. All the beer I have had that I liked was German. I tend to like darker beers in general though I don't drink beer often at all. Oddly while I was in Germany their beer selection was pretty limited and in one part I was in they only had one kind. This was probably due to us being out in the country and near a local brewery. I had a good bit of Distelhäuser on that trip.

[Hannah]

I never cared for beer. I'm sort of a huge wimp when it comes to alcohol (I like fruity drinks that don't taste like alcohol.) I think the closest thing to beer that I can drink and enjoy would be Woodchuck.

[SHADOW-MOSES]

I really like the pyramid apricot ale, it tastes way better than it sounds, henry weinhards black berry wheat is good too

[TheCanadiandrome]

Long necks and Rednecks are my friends!

[chris350]

Miller Light or Whiskey (R&R) and Diet Coke for me, I like the cheap stuff, but not the cheapest.

[CudleyCowlick]

I drink beer all the time. The bigger and hoppier the better. Some of my favorites are Stone Ruination, Dogfish Head 90 Minute & Southern Tier Gemini, all IPAs and all about 7-8% ABV or higher - that's where it's at baby!

[Mr.Turtle]

i dont like alcohol...last time i had any was on my bros b-day party...all i remembered is there were 2 drunk guys stripping in front of the tv n one of them was my bro...i shud add this to just another awkward moment

Ha. :tlol: yeah you should have.

[TheCanadiandrome]

haven't had a drink in awhile

[Doomsword]

I was in Davis, CA over the weekend. Went to a brewery/restaurant called Sudwerk. They made mostly German style beers. I got a taster set while I was there. Just their basic Lager was my favorite. Very clean & refreshing.

[NameGoesHere1066]

I partake of a beer or two sometimes. But man nothing in this country will ever top german beer. Hell yeah!

[mysterycolor]

had some watermelon beer on the 4th of July- tasted nothing like beer- but was still quite tasty.

[Sage Ninja]

I had some watermelon beer last year and I thought it tasted kind of nasty. I'm not much for beer to begin with but the fruity taste was a bit much for me. And normally I like fruity alcholic beverages.

[TheCanadiandrome]

What does everyone think of those wide mouth bottles? I like em

[billbot85]

I love beer. My favorite by far is Yuengling Traditional Lager. I'm really excited that it's finally coming to Massachusetts!!

I also like Sam's Summer Ale, Sam's Octoberfest, Boston Lager, Stella Artois, PBR, Bass Ale, Killian's, Magic Hat #9, and Miller High Life.

Miller High Life is the most common beer I drink. It's cheap, crisp, easy to drink, and satisfying.

[Wingnut]

Grew up in Missouri so I try to support their brewers/distillers.

Boulevard, Mother's, Schlafly…Never liked Budweiser, though. Gives me a headache. Love just about any wheat beer, stouts every now and then aren't bad. I just can't get into the double imperials and crazy Trappist stuff.

[goodfellaray]

Corona is my go-to drink of choice, whether I'm watching the UFC fights, playoffs, or just feel like drinking. If I'm feeling ghetto, I'll go for a couple of 40's of King Cobra to start with. Gets you buzzin' real quick. This past Halloween season, I got real big into trying the many different pumpkin ales that are out there. Some terrific, tasty, and some not so good.

Boy do I enjoy drinking! I think I was even enjoying a 40 of Cobra when I registered here...

[Pagong]

I always have drinking sessions with my close friends and relatives, weekly we gather around a small table with finger foods and one case of beer. Preferably, we drink Red Horse beer if not brandy. :D

I don't drink beer for the taste, just to get drunk. Asahi was pretty damn good tho.

[Icebot]

I never drink beer.

[AT-Man]

I never drink... beer.

[Blossombrooks]

I like a beer now and then, usually corona but a lime wedge is a must. :)

There's a huge annual beer festival near me, now they brew some fine ales! Some of it is like treacle it's so strong. Me, my hubby and our friends go each year, they have live music too so it's a fun night, ends up a little messy though.... ;)

[blindturtle02]

I just never got the taste for it. I've seriously tried it when I was younger, but if it ain't sweet, I don't like it. My fiance just laughs and says that it's an acquired taste. She prefers the fruity stuff on the extremely rare occasion when she does have something. I do too. I'm a super taster, so I hate the taste of alcohol. I had a strawberry daiquiri last week on Valentine's Day though. Ok, half of one. We split it because neither of us likes that whole buzzed thing. I like all my senses at their peak, and not feeling as if I've taken a dose of benadryl. Never been drunk before because think about it, I'm twice as likely to make a fool of myself! We both have alcoholics in our families, so we're chicken most of the time. Oh, I did have apple cider at one point. That isn't too bad. It sure smells like beer. It's a wonder I sort of liked it. I've been told I haven't found a beer I've liked yet, but don't they all sort of taste the same? Are there some sweeter than others? I'd probably have to put a tun of sugar in there in order to like it.

[Dirty Blond]

I like Newcastle and Guinness. If I ever visit my parents in Minnesota I partake in Summit Extra Pale Ale, which tastes similar to Sierra Nevada, and this new (to me) beer called Surly.

[BubblyShell22]

The only beer I'll ever drink is root beer. Not a fan of alcohol and never will be.

[Leo656]

Right now I'm polishing off a Miller Light but that's because it was free. I'll drink pretty much whatever's there, but there's only a few I actually buy. I'm one of the few people I know who genuinely likes the taste of (most) beer, but I don't actually drink that often. That said, I did start drinking very young, stealing sips of Mom's beer at parties and whatnot. It was never encouraged, obviously, but so many people around me at that age were heavy drinkers, and open about it, so really, what were any of them going to say to a 6-year old stealing a few sips of beer? I usually just came back with "Well, drink it faster so I won't have a chance next time," or something like that.

And I think that's why I never had that "craving" for it as I got older; it was never some forbidden temptation thing like a lot of my friends who tried it and ended up with problems. It wasn't at all like "Here, go drink," but like, when I was 14 if I came home from school and was tired and wanted to grab a beer from the fridge and relax, I didn't have to ask and I didn't have to sneak it. I never had more than a couple at a time (except for a few times with close family members in a "safe" situation), never got a habit, and never got in any kind of trouble, so my parents never worried about it. I knew drinking too much was stupid, so I just didn't do it. And it's amazing how that kind of freedom makes excess easy to avoid. From 18-25 a lot of my friends got into binge-drinking like a lot of college-age people do, and I just never saw the point. I'd already been drunk enough times to realize it wasn't something I wanted to be a routine, and by the time I was legally able to drink, I was half-bored with it. I never wanted to get together with friends on the weekends when their parents were away and drink until I threw up. I could have a beer or two every day if I felt like it, why get stupid? It's lucky I turned out that way, because my family is full of hard-core alcoholics. I do like to drink, but it's rare I have more than two at a time anymore unless it's a holiday.

In high school, I went through a heavy Red Dog phase, mostly because that's what my brother-in-law drank, and I did most of my drinking with him. I used to save the bottle caps with the little slogans on them. I don't remember much about how it tastes, because I don't think I've had one in over ten years.

I generally like Heineken or Lauenbrau as my "anytime" beers. Guinness or Guinness Black Label are my favorites, though. Anyone who doesn't like the taste of beer needs an ice-cold Guinness, fresh from the freezer.

Other than an occasional shot of Jameson or Jack Daniels, I'm strictly into beer and not other alcohol. I especially can't stand flavored drinks. I think they defeat the purpose and they're dangerous. I have a theory that alcohol's semi-crummy taste is a built-in safety mechanism, warning you not to drink too much. Meanwhile, a person who inhales a bottle of Peppermint Schnapps is likely going to start several small fires and break a bunch of windows within about an hour, because they had nothing to tell them "Stop" before they were entirely wrecked. After a few brews, when it starts to taste too much like acid, I just stop. Forcing down more after that is only going to make a person sick. That's why I prefer beer over the other stuff.

[billbot85]

Yuengling will be shipped to MA tomorrow, March 3!! So excited for this, it's been a long time coming. :tgrin:

http://bostonherald.com/entertainment/food_dining/fork_lift/2014/02/yuengling_arrives_on_march_3_everyone_wants_the_pr oduct

MA will be the 15th state to get Yuengling, so it's quite an honor since this beer doesn't distribute nationwide. Any beer drinkers in MA on this forum will soon revel in this victory :tgrin:

I once had Ginger Beer. If that counts.

One of the best things I've ever tried.

[Memphis]

Dos Equis for me, no salt. I'm not big on beer, but I buy a bottle of Johnnie Walker blue in January every year. Nectar of the gods, it is. Break it out on special occasions and usually finish it off on my birthday in December.

[Prowler]

I drink beer pretty often. More often than I should, in fact.

My favorites:

Super Bock (Portugal)
Guinness (Ireland)
Erdinger (Germany)

I don't have a preference when it comes to a type. I like ales, lagers, stouts, etc. all equally. Depends on my mood or what I'm eating, really.

[d3m01iti0n]

PBR and lots of it. I used to drink Sam Adams but that stuff weighs you down.

[Lisardo]

On the occasion I drink beer I drink only the good, regional stuff (never the light, crappy domestic kind). I prefer spirits over beer tho, and when I drink that I usually do like rum and coke or something easy. On the occasion I "go out" to drink, I typically get a Long Island Iced Tea - BEST DRINK EVER!

[shuriken]

I enjoy a few beers every now and then. I enjoy Guiness, Heineken, Modelos, Coronas, MGD, Blue Moon and Grey Goose.
Those are ones that I have had and have enjoyed. Actually had e few Coronas Saturday night while watching the Pacqiao vs Bradley fight. Good times.
