Beer "Whats your Taste"

[Ascot]

As an affected college student, I went through a Lowenbrau phase. Now I'm just a beer fag. Give me a Rolling Rock, Corona, maybe a Miller High Life (glass bottles only please, on all of them). I guess I'm really much more of a wine or tequila guy.

I am a Tequila drinker and I only drink it socially I enjoy 100% agave silver BUT this summer while at the residents pool a neighbor offer me a
Blue moon Belgian white and I have been drinking it all summer I recommend it.

I don't think I've tried that Blue Moon. I don't like wits, so probably I haven't. But I looked it up, and some Beer Advocate folks say it's the best Blue Moon (and therefore Coors) has to offer. I am surprised. It's hard to make a wit that can compare to a lot of other styles. By nature they're not that flavorful. Anyway, I thought that was interesting.

It sure sounds like a good drink for a summer day in Texas.

I am going to try to get to Lagunitas Brewing Co's taproom this weekend. It's in Petaluma, Ca. They have a couple of Imperial Stouts on tap right now. Funny that their tasters are more expensive than Russian River's. *frown*

I have not gotten to Lagunitis yet. But I arrived up here at this peaceful lovely summer vacation rental (only a few weeks yet, and only weekends for me cause I am working now) and found some Anchor Steam Beers I had left in the fridge.

For me they are like the everyday easy drinker -- affordable, good, not so complex you feel you have to sit down and write about it. Good stuff. Nice to arrive here and have a couple cold in the fridge.

Now what to do for food.

Tonight some of us are partaking in the Genesee Cream Ale from a can. I am trying to pin down the kind of beer i like to use for my beer can chicken and i wanted to try a cream ale and see what it was like.

I liked the regular Genesee beer when I was up in NY, also the Labatts Ice better than the Labatts Blue. You cooking the beer chicken on the grill or oven?

How did you like the Genesee Cream Ale? I recall drinking it a long time ago and liking it, but can't really recall the flavor. have no idea whether I'd like it today.

The Chicken was great but i figured out i enjoy a more hoppy beer when making beer can chicken.

i really enjoyed this beer and will look for it on tap when i am out and about just to try it that way. i think it is a great refreshing beer. It tastes and smells like corn and grain giving a slight bitter and sweet taste. i drank it from the can and also poured it into a glass. i prefer the glass experience because i get to enjoy its' gold color. i like to smell the foam of my beers because they sometimes carries a different aroma from the actual liquid beer. Sometimes that in itself can be a burst of nasally goodness. i also love that it is cost effective.

Genesee Brewing Co. / Dundee Brewing Co. out of NY


this is not the can i drank from...i just like the can itself.


i had a Trappist beer this past week. i think it was a red cap Chimay. I am gonna have to try it again. i am gonna try all three of them together.

my memory and consumption of Miller High Life revolves around my moms dad. my Papa drank MHL and Hams beer(owned by Miller)...they lived on a big lake and everyday for him was a play day. one of the first beers i tried were both of those beers. i was not a fan of either but i noticed that my family had a relationship with their food and beer/drinks...an experience. Its' marketing /packaging slogan is "The Champagne of Beers" and it is owned by a United Kingdom company SAB Miller.

i love beer. it is not a lifeless, inanimate object to me. They go far beyond just a product for me. i really enjoy hearing about peoples experiences and insight when they drink beer and share here.
