Beer "Whats your Taste"

Okiebug61 · 07-29-2012, 08:15 AM

This could be fun. I am going to post a beer that may or may not be available in your area. If it is and you have time to try one, let the rest of know what it was like and if you are coming to the reunion maybe you could bring a few bottles to exchange.

Let start with this one.

I love stouts too, especially Imperial Stouts. Unfortunately, they are expensive.

My favorite is Bell's Expedition Stout:

Not much point in talking about it detail and actually I don't know the type of beer I like. I drank Corona (with lime) and Sierra Nevada when I lived in the States. Liked both of them.

Here's an article about NZ beer: http://www.beer-pages.com/stories/new-zealand-beers.php

An old-school brand is Tui Beer and a brand I discovered when last home is Monteith. Monteith has nice beer!

I had two cans of Carlsburg tonight with my dinner.

The last stout I had was a microbrew and not good.

Chai stout -- from Half Moon Bay Brewing Co. You only tasted the spices the first few sips, and after that it was thin and tasteless.

I really like Carlsburg. I drank a lot of this on tap when I lived in Scotland. I was glad to see it was available in Oklahoma. I use this when I crave a snake bite. :-)

Confession: I am a bad beer snob. I am a music snob, too. But I don't roll my eyes when people love some insipid pop singer. I am pretty much "to each her own." But with beer, if someone tells me they love Pabst Blue Ribbon and wants to high five me, saying "YAY, Pabst," it's all I can do not to roll my eyes so far to the right that all you see are the whites.

Just a heads up. (Good that this is text and you can't see the eyes.)

LOL! You don't like Pabst? Keeping my high fives to myself :-(

Found this article on PBR. God, it's from 2003. Feels like it was yesterday that I read it. I am getting old.

Anyway, interesting re marketing.

I love the idea of doing this. I doubt I would like this since it is a blonde, but I looked and can't get it around here, anyway. I would be very happy to play this game if there are any beers I would have access to.

Imperial Stouts are my favorite, as well! I looked up the Bell's you posted and I can't get it around here.

I totally get this. It is like Boone's Farm versus <insert expensive, quality tasting wine here>.

I think we can assume that a beer thread such as this would be mainly about craft beers/microbrews

, so no worries.

Amber and red ales for me.

I like pyramid and redhook best.
