D'yall have colloquial names for popular beers? Over here Stella Artois is colloquially known as 'wife beater' due to a stereo type about the connection between domestic violence and strong lager consumption. Newcastle Brown is known as 'Dog'..as in going to see a man about a dog...gimme a pint of dog!

Stella is the girl for me.. but when I'm extra frisky, it's a Priest's Collar [(preferably pear) cider w Guinness floated on top] YUM.

I can't wait until the weather gets warm and we start gardening again and we end the day sitting on the front steps sipping a Narragansett.

There are probably some, somewhere, but it would be more of a regional thing, I would imagine, than a national thing. I don't know of any nick names for beers.

Anyone know a comparable beer (in taste) to Hoegaarden?

A wheat beer that has has orange peel in it. I would look for one with that has that in it as I think that orange peel can override the taste of other flavors. Subsequently, you may get that "Hoegaarden taste", if you look for wheat with orange peel.

I can't stand the stuff! ha!

weatherboi may come in with some recommendations.

DapperButch · 03-14-2013, 05:34 AM

Just came across this on a review.

Sure there may be better examples of the style, Ommegang and St Bernardus spring to mind, but hoegaarden can go toe to toe with the best wits and it will hold up well in my opinion.

I'd look further into it for you, but I am late for work!

ruffryder · 03-15-2013, 11:16 AM

well not sure if you know Daktari that Budweiser here in the states is referred to as the King of Beers, branded by the company that is.

As for a wheat ale with orange peel taste there is Blue Moon and I'm not particularly found of that taste either. Maybe cause I got sick mixing it with margaritas one night so I never will have it again. lol It has malted barley, white wheat, oats, orange peel, and corriander.

There is one called Orange Blossom Cream Ale from Buffalo's Brewery in CA and looks interesting. It is a light ale with hints of fresh orange. Brewed with sweet orange peel, orange blossom extract and honey.

A&W please, in float form about a quarter of the time. I like to put one of those glass beer mugs in the freezer for a while and then use that. Incidentally, A&W Cream Soda is also good, but they don't make it in diet. boo hiss!

Anyone into home brewing?

SnackTime · 04-12-2013, 06:03 AM

A few weeks ago, I tried Sweetwater Blue. I liked it.

Medusa · 08-31-2013, 10:57 AM

Had a huge EWWWWWWWWWWWW moment a couple of nights ago.

Found a beer called "Strawberry Blonde" by Diamond Bear Brewing company at my local liquor store and got really excited to try it. I love Wicked Pete's Strawberry Blonde Pale Ale but you can't find it here at all so I thought Diamond Bear would be a good alternative.

Diamond Bear is a local brewery located in Little Rock and they have a pretty good following.

Well, when we popped the cap, the beer foamed for no less than 20 minutes (like, HUGE foam pouring lazily from the mouth of the bottle). It foamed so much that the bottle was half gone when it stopped.
I thought maybe it just got shook up but when I poured it into a glass to see the color of it, there were chunks of fuzzy looking orangish dust in the beer. Needless to say, I didn't like the way it looked.
Not sure if that was just hops or yeast or what but it made think something was wrong and it was fermented.

I sipped a little bit and tasted no strawberry notes at all, just a high acrid hops flavor. Needless to say, will not be buying that one again!!!

weatherboi · 08-31-2013, 11:01 AM

This is a great tasting red ale out of Napa Valley. Publix grocery just put it on the shelves soooooo when I was at the store this am, after working a long morning, dealing with demanding clients, i got permission to buy myself some craft deliciousness. Lucky me!!!

Kätzchen · 11-08-2013, 03:17 AM

I'm having a Widmer Brothers seasonal ale tonight (brrr!):
WB makes it for the holidays and it has a slightly warm, spicy taste.

sidenote: Widmer Brothers makes two other special brews: Alchemy & Drop Top
(I like both of them, as well). Widmer Brothers is a local brewery (1984).
They're the 9th largest brewery in the US.

DapperButch · 11-08-2013, 06:43 AM

So, one of my favorite stouts is here again.

http://brooklynbrewery.com/brooklyn-...hocolate-stout

Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout

It is an Imperial stout, which are my favorite. 10% alcohol, so you have to be careful! I decided to buy a whole case as my store only got 5 cases and the manager explained that is is possible they won't get anymore until next year. She said this is something they do not have control over. Last year I had a hard time finding it, so I thought I should plan ahead!

I set the case aside and won't have more than just a few a week.

If you like an Imperial stout with chocolate notes, this is your beer! AND, it is only 320 calories!

Side note, it should be served in a snifter glass.

The JD · 11-08-2013, 08:34 AM

I'm a little late to the table, but I've recently discovered the joys of beer growlers. I can sample the beer before I choose, and get ~3 pints out of one growler-- all of which makes me much more game to try beers that I usually wouldn't buy in a 6-pack. Plus, it's draft, and tastes so much fresher than bottled beer!

A recent purchase was creme brûlée stout. I liked the sip or two I sampled in the store, but when I poured a pint of it at home, I was over it in three sips. It's like drinking an alcoholic milkshake…gah!

My current favorite is Southern Tier 2x IPA. Damn good!
