SOT: best beers?

fourrhundredffft volttzzz tessstt ahhh..fsssttt no p..p...p... probflem...Gimmme dat tesssphhhter... :P...

But bfff4 fthat I'll have anthfrrer Corona beer.

(It's a beer and an electronic term! )

D from BC

ouch, an Italian beer outside Italy :-)

It's my "low cost" preferred beer

just for reference we pay it 2.34 euro for 3 beer, the Guinness cost 6 euro for 4 cans of 1/3 of liter

the producer "Moretti" is owned by Heineken but still produce with they own recipes and standars

if you find it, try the other beers from Moretti

"Baffo d'oro" or "Doppio Malto"

some Belgian beer ?

Chimay, Leffe, St.Denise ?

Marco ( from Italy :-) )

I've tried a bunch, but keep going back to ol' reliable Anchor Steam.

Tom

Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout

On a budget, Saranac Black & Tan

Woodchuck cider is also a Good Thing. So is Strongbow.

...And most of the beer/mead/cider I make at home, when I manage to find the time for that, though some of the mead has needed years of aging, during parts of which it was disappointing to terrible - but it got better (not just better, but good) with more aging.

Cats, coffee, chocolate...vices to live by

By far: St. Peter's English Ale, or their Golden Ale. I've only found it in some specialy beer joints, but worth the trip & price.

In the SuperMarket: MGD or Bud are the reliable standbys.

Some to avoid at all costs: Ngoma (Africa) Old Thumper (Should have been called "Old Dumper") -this might be the worst I've ever tasted? Kalik (Bahamas beer - tastes like the water there..) ..and anything made with pumpkins.

-mpm

Samuel Smith's: Taddy Porter, Oatmeal Stout or Imperial Stout are excellent.

I'm a big Dog Fish Head fan. Anything that comes out of their brewery is normally pretty tasty and original.

On tap, if you can find it.

Harp is pretty good too.

Stella ain't bad for a change, now and then.

Almost anything by Abbeydale

Black Lurcher (brewed for the wildly eccentric Three Stags Heads at Wardlow Mires, Derbyshire) and Absolution especially.

Spatan Optimator

Kilkenny Cafferys Sweetheart (Tennent's, low alc) Chimay, blue label Young's double chocolate stout (get it at Trader Joes) Samuel Adams My brother's home brew when he uses a good yeast.

Smithwick's Harp Ricker's Red

Best regards, Spehro Pefhany

Purple Haze.

The best are always made by microbreweries. In the Germantown area of Philadelphia the General Lafayette brewpub seasonally makes a killer imperial stout they call "Grim Reaper". Highly recommended :-).

Vodka, seltzer, and brown sugar. ;-)

Cheers! Rich

Michael,

Over the years, I've seen many "favorite beers" threads, but I believe this is the first I've ever seen posted on a worldwide forum such as this newsgroup.

The responses have been just amazing.

I hope you're tabulating the results!

Tom

How's your evaporator coming?

Best regards, Spehro Pefhany

Another microbrewery recommendation for other U.S. east-coasters would be the ales from the Williamsburg Ale Werks. Very tasty, assertive (their IPA almost to the Arrogant Bastard level) but well balanced. Great stuff!

Home brew? Belgian ales? micro brews?

I was down to the local brew pub and talking to the brewmaster and criticizing (what I thought was) his best effort. It seemed a little bland for my taste - then he rolls out his own favorite and it was excellent - but he doesn't sell it because the patrons don't like it. They want a light, weak, nearly tasteless, beer with minimal hops, and no hop aroma . . .

We Americans don't appreciate real beer.

I remember reading something about engineers and beer. Story went something like engineers were the specialists in mechanical warfare when siege warfare and black powder were being introduced. The engineers drank a lot of beer because they said (or justified) urine made the black powder more energetic, and beer produced the best powder.

May be some truth - since urea is used in some explosives.

I brew my own - but it helps to have goals, so I like tasting the exotic stuff.
