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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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]

[BIGBLCK11]

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