Beer - Page 2

Samuel is my beer of choice and always on hand! Budweiser is to me "Butwiper" frequently used while on outdoor adventures as a personal hygiene cleaner for external use only!

Great thread for a beer can collector. Started when I was 12 and continue to this day. I will pay more than scrap price for unusual cans. Sorry, cans only because bottles tend to break when you move around. If the cooler can hold them, I will drink them. The strategy is if the cooler does not get sick, I will not either. P.S. Two year old beer makes the cooler sick.

Let me clarify this. I am not to much of a beer snob to pass up a free beer. If someone offers me a beer [and I am not driving] I will take them up on the offer. I may not buy it , but I will drink it, and enjoy it, if offered, It's the polite thing to do!
Once I had a light beer left by someone in the fridge after a get together [with a camp fire involved] and it sat in the fridge until my mother stopped by for a visit.
[sorry if you do not understand this post but I am on my 3rd Brooklyn Brewery Black Chocolate Stout [10.0% by vol]. I did not know this when I opened the first one but after the first sip I could tast the hight alcohal content. [to heII with spell check I am leaving it the way I typeds it]

lol....I want some of what Imm is having.

An..turning down free beer is just rude. glad to hear you don't condone such a practice.

Sirs I was wondering how long it would be before you smelled there was beer being served.

I've been all over this thread. LOL. Like the bat signal I swear.



I had some beer while out in Az, it was 10% also, but I can't remember the name of it for the life of me. Similar to Arrogant Bastard. They'd only serve you two. You could buy some to take home with you tho. Good beer, I really enjoyed it. Just wish I could remember the name of it.

fun fact on Yuengling, I found out a couple summers back when I was doing beer stocking on the side.(Fun job, literally spent all day doing nothing but going from store to store an stocking beer, for the distributors. I like extra money in my pocket.) Folks who visit my sandbar, swear Yuengling is cheaper here then in PA where they are from, an it's made. Always cracked me up. Think by a buck or two. I asked one day after seeing a guy in a Steelers shirt buying up a bunch. He said he stocked up everytime he came down vacation. lol.

Go figure. I also enjoy a Yuengling. Bottles, or on tap when I can get it.

Sirscrapalot - Is now saving beer bottles of all kinds.

I don't want to hurt any feelings, but Sam Adams is swill. Bells makes some good beer, but distribution is mainly in the midwest. Founders breakfast stout is another good one from Michgan that is available all over the place. Dragonmeade Final Absolution is my favorite, be careful with that stuff though.

Stone and Lagunitas are two breweries that currently are at or near the top of my list. Arrogant Bastard (Stone) was already mentioned, but they have a handful of others that are great (great IPA). I also love the Hop Stoopid from Lagunitas, along with some of their other offerings. Closer to home, here in Georgia we're finally starting to get a nice craft beer movement going and several new microbreweries and brewpubs are getting underway. One of the best I've tried out of that group was an IPA from a tiny brewery in Kennesaw, GA called Burnt Hickory Brewery. They actually had two IPA's that I thought kicked some serious a$$. Nantahala Brewing Company in Bryson City, NC has a great IPA too. Sweetwater IPA on draft is good too (been hit or miss in bottles in my experience for whatever reason).

If I've been working and just need to drink a beer to cool down (after scrapping, mowing, gardening, whatever), I have no problem with something lighter. Also when eating hot wings - just seems a waste to drink an IPA or other "heavier or hoppier" craft beer when your mouth is on fire.

Never Budweiser, though ..... shoooooooooooo

I'll see your banana beer and raise you a banana shot.



El tequila es mejor que la cerveza!

The oldest known written recipe is for beer.

Swampy, I don't like IPA - too hoppy/bitter. So more for you.

FLimits, the banana bread beer sounds good. Must try it.

I've made bread beer before - really easy to do and only takes a few days to ferment. It's a very interesting taste sensation.
