Beer!

After talkwing with Wally Friday night and seeing he is just as passionate about beer as me, I think we can start a thread here to extoll which ones we enjoy bestest.

For starters, I have to go with The Dogfish Head 60 minute IPA. Hoppy goodness at its best.

Being a lager fan the few times I drink, its Yuengling.

One of favorites is Blithering Idiot from Weyerbacher.  Unfortunately its hard to find outside of easton.

Hobgoblin

Another one I've found I enjoyed is Old Tom, another good chocolate ale.

My current favorite is Special K from Dock Street Brewery.  It's an unfiltered Kolsch, so you get that ludicrous cloudiness you only get with unfiltered beer.

I'm also a huge fan of Kenzinger from Philadelphia Brewing Company.  It's a citrusy, easy to drink beer that's pretty much awesome to drink on a lazy Sunday.

For you ladies out there (Andy), I suggest the Leinenkugel Berry Weiss.  It's a beer that tastes shockingly like berry soda.  It's super, super sweet so I tend to steer clear of it, but if you claim you can't stand the taste of beer, I reccomend this heavily.

IBC rules.

I was disappointed by Monty Pythons' Holy Grail Ale
But I love Flying Dogs' Old Scratch Amber Lager
I love a good Lager

old english

Love Arrogant Bastard...
Love Toasted Lager by Blue Point as my regular beer
Agree with the Dogfishhead IPA
Hobgoblin is awesome
Blithering Idiot is another I like
Long Trail is a nice staple beer when I can get it.

one of the finest beers I've ever had was the Russian Imperial Stout that Six Point Brewery put out about 2 years ago... it was incredible, at $20 a 22-oz bottle, I've only had 4 in my life... but that I went back for more says something..

I had Deus was good... though I find it not as worth the price as the Six Point's Russian Imperial

Some of my own homebrew that I've enjoyed is:
Ken & Mike's Floor Beer
          Death Beer (original)
          Long Dark Death (also can be used to stain and preserve wood)
          Elderberry Stout
          Pumpernickle Stout
          Expresso Stout


Oh I'm sure there is more, but this is what jumps off the table at me.

I'm surprised we don't have anything from River Horse posted up here... I prefer their lager.
Leffe Belgium Blonde Ale is also decent.
Hoegaarden Witbier, is awesome, and has traces of I believe orange and coriander- nice drink for summer
Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout is fantastic, deep flavor, rich, creamy, and semisweet

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Mmmm... Floor Beer.... I need more of that stuff in my life. :)

Stone every thing by stone... arogant bastard is of course in that list... but the best by them is there impirial russian stout

rouge aint bad had there hazlenut brown necter (the beer i gave mike smith a bottle of at dex con)

talon barley wine is nice

broklyn black chocolate stout is yummy (had that with dinner the other night goes well with steak... also oddly better at room tempature)

pete's wicked ale

sam adams has a nice selection of beers for difrent company (ie people who arnt to fond of the harsher beers that i tend to enjoy... or if your drinking to keep drinking rather than sit down and enjoy the beer)

i'll undoubtably have more later

Lindemans' Frambois is mucho delicioso, plus Sam Adams' winter lager is caramelly.

Dunkel Fester!

haha dunkel fester

Lindemans' Frambois is mucho delicioso,

This beer actually tastes like non-alcoholic apple cider that you drink at Thanksgiving, actually.

But, in all fairness, it also got me DRUNK.

<---Belongs to the Beer of the Month Club

Who does?  That arrow points to a blank space. 

I gave my brother in law a one year subscription to the Beer of the Month Club.
Yo, Mike - any bacon beers?

Flying Dog Woody Creek White 4 teh win

Saranac (pretty any one) are always a hit, but the summer and winter 12 packs are so good.

I'm afraid the oils will interfer with the carbonization, that's what happened with a vanilla stout I made with actual vanilla bean... the oils just didn't go right.  However, I remember reading about a beer (somehow it's linked in my memory to George Washington) that involves having a chicken in the fermenting process.

For those of us who are driving, Sarcnac also makes a kick ass Root Beer.  (Hey, someone needs to get you all home safely!)

Bellhaven Scottish Ale is always a good choice

McEwans Scotch Ale, since we're on the Scotch ale topic.

The last is available in Jamaica, for what it is worth.  For those of you who believe that most beers are good, with some being better than others, I can only suggest a two week tour through the UK or Germany, stopping in every pub and Biergarten you find and sampling all the local stuff.  I entered a bar in Munchen and ordered a Loewenbrau.  After asking for another, the guy behind the bar said "American?  You should switch from that piss to real beer."  He proceeded to set me up with a cab, and then poured 14 shot glasses of various beers and told me to pick the ones I liked.  It was a great night for beer.

"I like pizza. I like bagels. I like hot-dogs with mustard and beer. I could eat egg-plants. I could even eat a baby deer.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! Who's that baby deer on the lawn, over there"

love this song

Less well known  but even better (in my world, anyway) is Lindemann's Peche. YAY LAMBICS!!!

I usually end up drinking with police when I drink, so the menu is Miller Lite, Hennesy and a barf bag.  But, at the risk of being simple I really like Guiness.
