shiner is crap.

too bad it wasn't a better beer.

One of the few times I agree with botto.

you agree with me more times than you care to admit, and you know it. :D

The selection was rather limited...

I used to home brew but I gave up on it after all my batches started tasting like liquid mushrooms.

Another thread, just like the podium girls thread the other day, that is filling up faster than I can read it. Besides bicycles and bike gear, I believe this pretty much defines the interests of BF Road members. (appypollyloggies to the femmes on this board). I rarely drink beer, but post-ride will enjoy an IPA now and again. Or a good strong Porter. Big fan of Boulder based Twisted Pine's HoppyBoy, which I can get on tap up here at the Sundance Lodge.

Yeah, and I was 422 back in May, and I'm still losing, so :eek: yourself! :P lol

Not in the Great White North, unless it's Unibroue. Blanch de Chambly, Maudite, La Fin du Monde, etc.

Some of the best beers in a bottle I've had.

Premier place to drink beer though is in the Englischer Garten in Munich.

Homebrew. I'm going to brew up a post-ride porch beer for the rides I'm going to lead this spring and summer. Something lightly hopped and refreshing. I don't want double IPAs after a ride.

You may enjoy a Radler then. I find them nasty. It's a lager mixed with lemonade.

Oh, so many to choose from...

Belgian-style: Brother Thelonius
In a can: Dale's Pale Ale
Everyday drinking beer: Anchor Steam
Since coming to MN: Leinenkugels or Schell (any of them)

Only what I brew myself

I do like my micro-brews. And some tasty European beers.

But for some reason I really like drinking Rolling Rock.

beer is good but so is ****... hardly affects my lungs in the short run(i don't want to live that long) and doesn't kill my liver either!

This is my favorite. I toured the brewery when I was living in the West Bank. It's fairly widely available at any establishment owned by Christian Arabs in Israel/Palestine. I think the guy who owns the company said you can get it in Boston...anyone know? I'd probably make a pilgrimage if it was true.

Beer is my weakness. I obsess over it. But in a good way.:)

My standby is Northcoast Brewing Old Rasputin RIS, followed by their Old Stock Ale. I also love the Flying Dog brews and Moylan's Imperial Stout, though it hasn't been around for a while. On Friday nights I treat myself to a Belgian. Making frequent appearances are Malheur 12. I just had the Scaldis Refermentis.

I'll at least get some ex South Africans around here excited, so I have to mention Castle...

i like the odd Leffe in the late year. ordinarily i love the bottled London Pride. not too many people i know enjoy this stuff, but i swear by it. Being from Africa, i have to plug some of my favourite stuff..Kenyan Pilsner and Tusker malt Lager. Castle milk Stout was also nice when one could not find a traditional guinness..don't know if they still make it now?

and Botto..i have to agree with our comment about Shiner yuck. that stuff is truly poor. was subjected to some when visiting a mate in texas...

on that note..has anyone ever tried a longshoreman from the microbrewery in San Pedro? there is nice riding there, and this stuff is truly good..

Yip, Castle still makes the milk stout to my knowledge - I was referring to lager, though...

lol..for all its availability, i have to admit i never tried a castle lager..

I'll agree on both accounts. I just don't understand the Shiner following.

The first few of these I really felt were much ado about nothing. However, at one point I had one that had warmed up to a temp that most people wouldn't drink it. Probably 60-65 degrees F. Surprisingly enough, at this temp it has a pretty nice flavor profile. It's still a relatively 'light' beer, but there is a good tasting beer hidden in there.

If I go to a restaurant where this is my best option, I'll order a Fat Tire when I first get there, make sure it's not in a frosted glass (this goes for any beer), and then let it warm up until my dinner shows up. By that time it'll probably be worth drinking. I had one at a friends house that I stuck in the microwave for about 15 seconds. Either approach works.
