Beer "Whats your Taste"

The JD · 06-10-2012, 08:50 AM

My favorite commercial beer is Fuller's ESB. When I was in London some years ago, I looked for a Fuller's pub, to no avail. But I take it on draught here in the States whenever I can find it.

I brew my own beer- I brew ales and stouts/porters. I've got a CO2 system (or in the case of stout, nitrogen), but I also bottle some of each batch to give away. I don't brew lagers- fermentation for ales occurs at room temperature, but lager fermentation must be refrigerated- I'm not buying a refrigerator for that (or giving up room in mine to fit 5 gallons of fermenting beer!). Luckily, my own taste is for ales, so it works out. I've got a batch of porter on hand- my next batch will be a red ale.

Oh, and I just checked- there are gluten-free beer kits! I'll put that on the brew list.

Yee Haw! When's the party. Sounds great. I have wanted to make my own beer but I simply do not have the time.

Pilsner Beers
Ale Beers
Lager Beers
Bock Beers

Usually prefer a bock or a lager but will drink the ale and pilsner beer if they aren't available.

Bud Light,,the only beer I like

but only 1

G Snap! · 06-10-2012, 12:16 PM

Guinness. I can never pass up Guinness on tap, and love it in the can. It seems to be the only beer that doesn't sour my stomach.

As I have been trying to eat gluten- free I am checking out those listed on the link posted by Okiebug61.

Damn, now I want a beer.

Corona extra w/double lime on Little Beach, Maui

Okiebug61 · 06-10-2012, 01:35 PM

Glass, can or bottle?

I like a cold frosted glass unless we are in our pool then there is no glass allowed so we go with cans.

T4Texas · 06-10-2012, 01:48 PM

I tend to like the darker beers like Guinness. I am also fond of the mexican beers like Modelo and Victoria, but my current fav is Dos Equis Amber. I will also occasionally drink a pale ale like Rolling Rock. Of course it always has to be super cold or in a frosted glass. Uno mas cerveza, por favor!

I have never had the Amber! Heard it is really good. I can't say Dos Equis without laughing about the commercials.

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.

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!
