Found a Beer to Replace the.....

[Old Moparz]

.....one I was drinking on a regular basis. Not only have gas prices gone up, but the beer I've been buying did too. I was getting "Bass Ale" 12 packs for $10.50 until several weeks ago. (Really good amber type, not too dark or bitter) Then one day I went to the register & the clerk says "$14.50 please." I asked "Are you sure? The price on the shelf was $4.00 less." She checked, charged me the lower price, & off I went. Sure enough, the next time I went in, it was marked $14.50. Roughly a 40% increase in one shot. I spent some time looking over the shelves & found one called "Newcastle Brown Ale" for $11.00 or so, & decided to try it. As Charger Fan would say, MMMMMM, Beer! It was good, & maybe even slightly better than Bass Ale. Both are from England, but I don't drink them warm.

I wonder if the price increase it permanent or just until the hurricane season is over?

well ill be damned...the government oughtta step in and stick it to those greedy beer companies. This calls for yet another boycott and yet another "no beer" day.

Hey..start a thread about beer prices in your area.

BTW - dude...Miller High Life is the best cheap beer. Unless you wanna go the "40" route, in which case it's all about the St. Ides or Colt 45.

[Old Moparz]

I buy Miller High Life when some of those paychecks get spent before I cash them. It's better than the other cheapo beers, or the other Miller alternatives they have.

Hey, what was that German beer you liked? My wife brought home "Warsteiner" a couple of weeks ago & I thought that was the one.

[Orange_Crush]

I stick to Mickey's big mouths.

[Charger_Fan]

Damn, it's a sad day when they start messin' with our beer.

I tried Colt45 once...once. Damn, that's nasty. I agree with Miller High Life though, that's bearable.

So far, the store near me has had Budweiser 24-pak bricks on sale for $14.99. The sale ends tomorrow...I think I'll stock up a bit, just in case the prices go crazy.
And if they don't go crazy, well at least I'll have no worries about beer shortages in my house.


What do you guys think about Foster's Lager? I like it, but I'm so cheap that I don't get it too often.

Kostritzer.

Warsteiner is actually pretty good, but when it comes to German beers I like em like I like my women - dark and bitter.

[Charger_Fan]

...and cold?

nope...i take em at room temperature 

[Old Moparz]

German beer is good, I like Dinkelacker Dark. (My wife's background is German)     

Met a nice Jamaican girl in college, but I haven't found a beer from there I like.

[LeeBoy]

Im partial to Yuengling Lager (Oldest Brewery in the USA and made right here in Pennsylvania) and Labatt Blue. 

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

I like Yuengling myself as well as Rolling Rock and Amber Bock made by Michelob (its better on tap though......loses something in the bottle)

[SirNik73]

You guys all make more money then me!

Chris, I found a small tavern outside of Carlisle a few years ago that has the best food in PA, & Yuengling on tap. Almost didn't go in because the place looked like it may have been close to being condemned. You'll never eat at the fairgrounds ever, ever, again.   

[Recharger]

10 bucks for a 30 pack. ? Can't beat that with a stick. ? Moparguy01 and Todd Wilson talked me into giving PBR a try. ? I must say it's growing on me. ? I check the mirror every morning for signs of a mullett, but so far no luck.

[Shakey]

Paulaner is a very good German bier.

Molson Canadian is a very good Canadian beer.

Miller High Life & Pabst Blue Ribbon are my beer of choice when I feel like a beer from the United States.

Corona is a very good Mexican beer.

Stella is good and so is Leffe Blonde!

[Vainglory, Esq.]

Dinkelacker is awesome!  Mojo, if you're not sick this weekend, we should go to the Red Lion and get some dark german beers.

[Silver R/T]

thats right, time to cut back on sin

Miller Lite 

[Dans 68]

German beer is good, I like Dinkelacker Dark. (My wife's background is German)     

I do believe that was my most favorite beer in Germany, way back during my honeymoon. A close second is Negra Modelo (A "Graf Style Vienna" for you hardcore types)

[Lowprofile]

Ice cold Corona with Lime. My favorite summertime beverage.

[Plumcrazy]

I'm partial to Yuengling Lager (Oldest Brewery in the USA and made right here in Pennsylvania) and Labatt Blue.  

Same here, I compliment your good tastes.

[nh_mopar_fan]

I brew my own. I've got a few bottles of my Imperial Stout left, 3 years in the bottle, smooth as silk and 15% alc.

Bass is great but I've been a big fan of Newkie Brown. Check out Double Diamond as well, it's a burton ale and should be on the shelf right with the Newkie.

If I need a good lawnmower beer, it's usually Rolling Rock.

Overrated: Fosters "Australian for Budweiser".

You brew your own & you NAME it? I do believe you're serious about your beer!

Damn, I'm getting thirsty here & it's only 10:00 am...and I'm at WORK!
I think a lunchtime trip to my favorite brew retreival zone may be in order.

[nh_mopar_fan]

Nah, I didn't name this one. That's the style.

My wife names em.

Her favorite would be the batch we served up at our wedding reception.

Deb and Daryll's I Do Brew.

I tried to make beer "once" & spent weeks & weeks adding yeast, bleeding valves, fermenting formaldehyde & doing as the instructions said, or so I thought, & was just a bit disappointed. Made something that thins paint instead.Through the whole kit in the trash & went to the beer distributor to buy beer. Less work, less disappointing & tasted way better.

Beer kits are for pikers.   

[Old Moparz]

Beer kits are for pikers.     

Never heard that word, but judging from your tone, I suppose it's not good. 

I had some home brew that blows away bottled beer, that's why I gave it a shot. Went camping with some friends, & one guy brought along one of the best beers I ever tasted. Something he makes regularly, but not a lot of it. I'd pay him to supply it, but that doesn't work so well. 

[BigBlockSam]

the best replacement beer is Whiskey   

[Chargerguy74]

I only drink Alexander keith's or Big Rock's Grasshopper wheat ale. Don't know if you could get them down in the states though.

[inhrmswy]

I stick to the microbrews for the most part.  Fat Tire and widmere hefeweizen are my long time favorites.  I only drink banquet beer (bud, miller, coors etc) if thats all there is and someone else is buying.

[Todd Wilson]

PBR!!!!

[Silver R/T]

this must be some kind of beer "conspiracy"---

[BigBlockSam]

i worked in a bar that had Pabst on tap. $.20 a glass. that was in the late 70's   

[Old Moparz]

Wow, someone dug up an old thread of mine. 

I haven't had a Pabst in years & I couldn't even tell you the last time I had one. I like that pic with the train yard Todd, that's pretty cool. 

Now I'm thirsty, but it's kind of late.

[TeeWJay426]

I'm dissapointed in most of you guys... it seems rotgut swill is the brew of choice with most of ya! PBR? Bud? MGD? 

Give me a good microbrew or some variety of Sam Adams if I gotta go commercial.......

This is my opinion also!!  I can handle almost all the Sam Adams and look forward to the seasonal brew when available!!  Definitely know where all the brew pubs are!!   

[Old Moparz]

Here's to some good brew.





Can't leave out good 'ol Opossum Boy.

Shiner Bock is the only dark beer I've ever liked, and man do I miss it. We cant get it up here in the fargo ND area. oh well.

[rare69]

When I went to Salt Lake City this past spring I tried several micro brews beers by the Wasatch brewery and they were pretty good! The Poligamy Porter was a pale ale and it was pretty good! "why have one"    For beers I like Bass Ale and Rolling Rock.

Bass Ale and Rolling Rock   

i like bass ale and harp, when I'm drinking whiskey , i like to chase it with rolling rock.

I don't mind an occasional beer in the morning on vacation, but not when it's that hot out.    If I started drinking beer in the morning this year at Carlisle, I'd have been baked by the sun & the beer by early afternoon. 

[GPULLER]

Cant drink all day if you don't start in the morning!

I prefer an ice cold Yuengling. And if its a hot summer day you can't beat a Yuengling Premium.
