Beer!

Just got a six pack of something called "Winter's Bourbon Cask Ale" from a co-worker for Xmas. The label sez it's "aged on bourbon barrel oak and vanilla beans." Sounds tasty!

I found the Flying Dog Sampler pack at Publix (a supermarket) yesterday. The Pale Ale and Golden Ale were good, I kinda guessed how they would taste. The India Pale Ale just about ripped a hole in my esophagus. WOW! That stuff was ultra hoppy! But my favorites from the pack were the Porter (dark and smooth) and the Wheat Ale (had a fruity taste to it). Both were very good. As a whole, I think Flying Dog is one of the best breweries I have sampled from in the States. This gives me a little hope that people in this country truly do realize that Miller Lite and Budweiser are similar to drinking goat piss.

Glad you liked the Flying Dog stuff dude. If you haven't already, I suggest you try anything from the Sierra Nevada family next. That stuff will re-affirm your faith in American brewers even more!

ah just drinking a few fosters right now

just got back from my girlfriend's coming home party from the navy. had some corona and becks. Personally, the becks tasted like crap. it might have been that i was buzzed before i drank it though too.

Picked up a Samuel Adams Mix Pack along with a 6 pack of my honey beer. I'm currently drinking the black lager. Not too bad but the aftertaste is starting to show through and it is a little too much for me which it didn't half way through. Yes, I know all beer has aftertaste (which is why I don't drink much of it) but some have a less stronger one than others, like JW Dundees Honey Beer .

That Sam Adams Black Lager is maybe the best American beer I have had. I could be placed on an IV of that stuff and be pleased as punch.

Well so far it is the best of the pack, the honey porter was so nasty I had to pour it out.

I'm not a huge fan of Becks. It's a bit... bleh.

yesterday.

DUDE I LOVE THAT STUFF! I get it allot during the summer.

I get it alot all year long. But I'm sexy like that.

LMAO, nope, I only get it duing the summer for some reason..hmm, gonna have to talk to my wife about that now!

Last night I went out to the bar and I had a Coors Light. Nice!

I had a very good time there, too. Tons of hot chicks were at the bar.

gag

Nice subject ...I know when I first tried Beer I thought it tasted like crapola cola!

BUT! Budwieser has that crapola taste ....

Anyway ....I have grown to enjoy beer and I fancy these ones..

Corona with the lime
St Polly Girl
New Castle
Dosequis
Samuel Adams
Budwieser premium (Very tasty and darker then thier regular)

Im up for suggestions here if anyone here can make a few for me. I dont particillarly like Stong beer or bitter but Im not a conseour I just like it to be smooth and you need to be able to taste the Hobs just after you swish it around in your mouth mmmnnn I love that flavor...

because people will drink cheap beer just to get drunk off of it. You ever heard of a little beer called Olde English!

I don't tend to drink a lot at home (I save it for going out - I make up for it ;p), but after today's work I felt I deserved one. Seems the only decent beer my family had in the fridge though was a Corona. Not quite European enough for me (what can I say - Eurobeers rule), but satisfying none the less.

It's O.K, he's British, he's supposed to drink beer-it's like water over there.

American beer tastes like utter crap! Well, the one's I have tried did. They are very thin, and just....not good!

- well, I am from Europe, so I have pretty high standards

Give me a Carlsberg! Or a good ol' German "Bear beer" (the blackest o f beers...I LOVE dark beers...the darker, the better!!).

- And please, do not post a comment on Carlsberg, if you have not tried the original. The American tappings do not do Justice to them at all - They just taste like the same thin, metallic crap that is American beer. Sorry guys, your ale sucks

- I do not remember when I first tasted beer, but I have always gotten a little sip of my fathers' beer, when I was little (just a sip, nothing more)....and I liked it! Not to try anbd sound immature or "cool", I just always liked the taste...but I guess I can't blame you Americans, if your first exposure to beer was tapped in your home-country

Not all American beers suck. The stuff from the "big" brewers (Anheuser-Busch, Miller, etc.) is all pretty much crapola but the micro-brew/craft beer explosion over the past decade has produced some damn good beers here in the U.S... you just gotta know what to look for.
