BEST BEER

[TK73]

My favorite is COPPER HOOK by Red hook Brewery in Woodinville WA

Of course a nice watery lager is also good on a hot day or with hot dogs and bbq beans...

[LeeBoy]

My favorite beer is a cold beer. The only thing that can top that is a free cold beer. 

[KSChrgr68]

Sam adams boston lager or a cold paulaner oktoberfest

[TruckDriver]

Eh, Miller lite or Bud lite. Or anything free


Actually, I rarely drink anymore. If I do, it's usually just one before I go to bed to help me sleep. And even then, I prefer a mix drink or wine cooler over beer.

And that said, I prefer A & W Root Beer 

[Manfred318]

My personal choice is PBR or Newcastle.

[mikesbbody]

I'm not a Drinker, but I'm told Belgium and Thai Beer are good.

[Dans 68]

The best beer is a Graf-style Vienna lager. The closest existing commercially available (not homebrewed) beer would be Negra Modelo. Very nice with a good mexican dish.

"Vienna
The Vienna style of lager was developed in the mid-1800s in the town of Vienna, naturally. It grew from the Marzen/Oktoberfest styles of Bavaria, but was influenced by the rise of the Pilsener style of Bohemia. Attempts to imitate the Pilsen style had resulted in harsh beers, due to the differences in brewing water between the two regions. The water of Bavaria (Germany) is higher in carbonates than that of Bohemia (Czech Republic). As discussed in Chapter 13, the use of pale malts in alkaline water results in too high a mash pH that extracts tannins from the grain husks. Of course, they didn't know this back then. They did know that they could brew darker beers that didn't have the astringency problems. The sweet amber lager now known as Vienna was the result of their efforts to produce a lighter beer. It became immensely popular and was copied in other brewing countries.

There was a lot of immigration from Central Europe to Texas and Mexico at that time, and of course the people brought their beer and brewing techniques with them. The hot climate were abysmal for lager brewing though, and commercial offerings were poorly regarded. Fortunately by the late 1800s, refrigeration became commercially viable and variations of Old World style lagers became very popular. The principle variation of the Vienna style in the New World is the Graf-Style Vienna, named after the Mexican brewer (Santiago Graf) who developed it. It incorporated a small percentage of heavily roast malt to compensate for the more alkaline water of the region, giving it a deep amber color with hints of red.

OG: 1.045 - 1.055

Commercial Example: Negra Modelo, Dos Equis"

When at home I drink Carlton Mid. It's a local Aussie beer.
If I'm heading out and driving the same.
If I'm heading out and not driving I'm rather partial to your Budweiser.
If I'm in Bali on vacation it's gotta be Bintang!

While I was in Vegas last year, I tried (what I though was) a new beer called Fat Tire Amber Ale on tap.  Instantly fell in love with it but have yet to see it on the east coast.
Seems like its been around for a while though....

It's in Atlanta - so you'll probably see it soon.

[Old Moparz]

One of my favorites right now is Dogfish Head Lager, the 60 minute IPA, & not because of the dumb reality show either. 

At $10 a six pack I don't buy it regularly, so other times I'll buy Blue Moon, Bass Ale, or just try a new one I haven't had.

Ten bucks for half a D?
Lucky to get a 6 pack of any beer here for less than $15
Much better to buy by the slab....

[Charger-Bodie]

Root Beer! No actually Nice cold Coca-Cola . Maybe Milk!?

I dont drink. If I did I would probably never have a finished car.

Bob, We got a new beer in the Beer Store called Old Leg Humper. I think that one might be right up your alley.        

[bakerhillpins]

I prefer Woodchuck Granny Smith

Harpoon Brewery's White label UFO,

and Miller High Life.

The Old Fashioned type root beer and that comes in glass bottles. Bring a cold one out on a hot day and nothing beats it!

OUCH! 

[4cruzin]

Here is my current favorite  . . . located in Michigan.  My local hangout got a keg of this upon my request and they say it sells just as good as Bud or Bud Light.   

[General_01]

I hardley ever drink, but I do like Killian's Red.

[400/6/PAC]

I'm just a Coors Light Man.

[BIGBLCK11]

2nd vote for Killian's Red or just a Coke. 

[RallyeMike]

It's probably so small that no one else here has tried it, but I'm currently infatuated with Dogzilla from Laughing Dog Brewery in Ponderay ID. They ran two kegs through my local hangout and I did a good job of draining them both. It's probably 600 miles, but I'm thinking about a road trip to the brewery this summer.

[67tbird]

the beer I will road trip for is Adler Brau in Madison, WI. anybody going to Oshgosh Airshow should drive the extra mile for it. for my once or twice weekly beer I try to catch Mich Amber Bock on sale--Gramps is rolling over in his grave, 905 man. 

[hemi o]

waikato draught for me,full strength draught beer,drink 2 boxes a week,not everyones taste but   :drool5:I love it.Can buy it for$20 /15 stubbies on sale.

[Roger 68 charger]

   I would have to say Heineken for me!!

[WINGMAN]

  I drink Hamms when Im down on money, Bud if i have $15 bucks or less, And Becks if Im Rich.    Jay.

[Tilar]

Free is the best!    I've probably drank a truck load of Budweiser, a tanker truck load of Michalob and Lord only knows how much MGD I've had and they've all been good. Some of that stuff from Canada that Ron brings with him is pretty good too..

They're probably all good if you can get past the first 3. 

[BananaDan]

For quality:
1. Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale
2. Brooklyn Brown Ale
3. Samuel Smith's Taddy Porter

For quantity:
A 30-pack of Coors Light cans, a cooler full of ice, my BBQ and a buddy to create trouble with.

[BananaDan]

Some buddies and I spent a week at one of the guy's house in Cape Cod years ago.  6 guys, 6 days.  Below is the before/after of our beer supply.  Not too bad considering we went out to bars for 3 of the nights.  BTW, this was 7 years ago.  I can't party like that anymore...

[ChgrSteve67]

Best Beer = Open Beer

[twodko]

In my hand and open.

[adauto]

This is really a hard question. For me time of day/year/food/mood all play a role. I am partial to micro-brews thats for sure. But on a hot summer day a cold rock works just fine! To complicate matters I'm a former home brewer. They were all my fav until I made the next batch!

[BB1]

[MOPAR FANATIC]

[gtx6970]

as far as mass produced and somewhat readily avail - Killians irish red + draft only please. bottled version just doesn't have the same taste

If thats not avail I go for my old reliable bud light or maybe a miller MGD

haven't had much of the micro brewey stuff to say that i've had anything better than Killians. but so far what little I have had sucked

[sixty8charger]

ummmm and i just opened a cold one! 

[Nacho-RT74]

supossely Polar Beer is one of the best rated in the world ( and not because the chiks )

[Iceyone]

Like those Polar beer girls. I'd forgotten about Polar beer, but I remember drinking it in the Caribbean somewhere, probably in Granada. Had the Bintang in Bali before, B.V. in Australia, San Miguel in several Asian countries. Drank some hot Red Stripe in Jamaica, yuck. I like Kiren with sushi. Lots of good beer out there, but all in all at home I tend to drink Bud products.

[jayco91]

 My vote is for Sam Adams. If you prefer a good lager give it a try.

[tsmithae]

For being home, I prefer -New Glarus' Spotted Cow.
South/southwest prbly    -Shiner Bock
East coast, maybe           -Yuengling
Netherlands/Belguim       -Le Chouffe
China... Well there's TsingTao and thats about it
Central America..... I can't remember any beers but Zacapa rum was phenomenal

[70charginglizard]

Mac n Jack of coarse

Coors light, it's about quantity not quality ;-)

I'm real familiar with Olde Frothingsloth, I would not call her hot. She's 500 pounds    LEON.

[69 OUR/TEA]

Wow,not even a vote for Shafer or Heffenreffer??

[69 OUR/TEA]

Root Beer! No actually Nice cold Coca-Cola . Maybe Milk!?

I don't drink beer all the time (being that fact that I'm 19, not that it stops me anyways) but when I do I prefer a Budweiser.

Plus it makes you smarter when you drink it, after all it made Bud Weiser!

1979, National Hemi Owners Association Meet, Golden, Colorado
We were taking a tour of the Coors Brewing plant.  We had been broken up into smaller groups for the tour.  It must have been a busy day for tours, 'cause we had to wait quite some time.  Our tour guide had finished her introduction speech, so she started telling jokes:
Guide:  "How do you make Budweiser?"
Group: "I don't know!"
Guide:  "You send him to college!"
Group:  "Ha ha."
Some wiseass in the back of the group:  "I heard it had something to do with the urinary tracks of Clydesdales."
Group:  "HA HA HA HA!"
(for some reason, the tour guide wouldn't speak to me for the rest of the tour.)
