Widmer Brothers' Droptop Amber Ale, with their Hefeweizen at a close second. Yay for living in Portland, OR!

The Redhook brewery is located about 12 miles from my house, 10 miles can be ridden via bike trail. They have many good brews there: cask conditioned ales, Porter and ESB on a nitrous tap. They recently released a porter blended with Starbucks coffee...Needless to say this is one of our favorite places to end our rides.

When I was living up there, I had a buddy that lived right up the road from the Redhook Brewery. We had a couple pints, then went on the tour. We were tanked by the end.

Edit: When I was up there, I found the Black Jack porter in Tacoma. I think it was at Hells Kitchen, but it may have been another one of the other bars we stumbled into. That stuff is really good.

Can't say "no" to a good IPA

I make my own beer....I have a nice Blonde ale in bottles now....when I'm not drinking those it's Guinness.

Belgians are great but expensive. I've had the holy grail (Westvleteren 12, look it up), and enjoy a variety of St. Bernardus brews from time to time but supporting (relatively) local breweries is much more rewarding and lighter on the wallet.

Smuttynose probably does not make a single bad beer - they are my go to brewery when I am not feeling particularly inspired. Sixpoint, from Brooklyn, is amazing beer and if a bar has it I will more than likely get a pint. For stouts I enjoy most British beers that you can get in a can (much better head in a nitro can than a glass bottle, I wish more beers came in cans but it isn't "artisanal" enough these days).

I like beer :(

Real cyclists don't drink beer; they sip wine.

Beer??? Where's the beer??? Mmmmmm I drink the cheap crap, 'coz I cant afford the good German stuff, (St. Pauli Girl is my fav.) and going to a bar is WAY too expensive. Budweiser Select, and to quote the immortal George Thoroughgood, "I Drink Alone".

Brew your own and with some practice you can make top shelf beer for cheap stuff prices...... It is a bit of work though. Like working on your own bike .... a satisfying feeling (except for the occasional bad batch).

Victory is my favorite US brewery. They brew such a wide range of styles and do almost all of them wonderfully.

I'm going to have to look for that, I love a good pilsener. I got hooked on Zilltertal Pils in Zell, Austria in winter '07, but they don't export it :(

[edit] Ugh, not sold anywhere near me.

Last time I had Golden Monkey I ended up wandering through a random empty apartment in Manhattan, And I didn't learn about it until I reviewed the photos on my camera the next day! Ha!

2nd for Harpoon I.P.A. now available at Publix in Brunswick, GA!!! Only had to ask twice. They are very involved in cycling and had the argile thing going long before Slipstream.

IPAs are my favorite, but I like most ales and all pale ales. Namely Harpoon, Sierra nevada torpedo and pale, sweetwater 420, troegs. I like small breweries' beer much better than macro-beer

munski1968 02-28-09 04:18 PM

psimet likes beer. it is good

coasting 02-28-09 04:27 PM

has anyone mentioned fruit beers yet? it's nice to sip on a fruity beer while you wax your legs and wiggle into those nice tight shorts

DaveSSS 02-28-09 04:32 PM

Colorado is microbrew heaven with over 100 microbreweries (SP?). When I move to my retirement home it will probably be in the Fort Collins/Loveland area. Lots of microbrew nearby. I've got lots of favorites. Mostly stouts and porters, but anything powerful if good. No wimpy pilsners for me.
