I was out in Montana for vacation about twelve years ago and a bunch of pipeline workers from Alaska were sitting in the bar we were hanging in. They were drinking red beers. Looked interesting so I had to try one. To this day I still have one occasionally. Take a draft beer, add tomato juice, tabasco and cracked pepper.
A working man's Bloody Mary.

Not the kind of red beer I was thinking of.....urgh...

HoneyBrown, Newcastle, Guinness and Fat Tire in that order...I still have yet to try Arrogant Bastard Ale.

G'morning all:

*winks back to UT*

Recently tried a couple of the Sam Adam's line that I had not previously tasted. Their Cream Stout and Black Lager. They rate an honorable mention. If you want to party south of the border, make sure you try Negro Modelo. Not too shabby! Sam Smith Oatmeal Stout is petty darn tasty as well.

For your north easterners? Get your butts to the Ct. River Brewfest. It's a "hop"ping good time with breweries from all over the country. You get charged a gate fee then a fee per chit. You bring the chits to the vendors and sample their wares 6 or 12 ounces at a time. Designate a driver. Trust me. There's also great food, live bands at night, some homemade sodas, a cigar emporium, and at least one t-shirt seller offering themes near and dear to our malty hearts.

Yes, I make the pilgrimage every year. It's worth finding a hotel for the night as well.

Stay safe, play nice, & share your toys w/ others...

Bella

Some great beers mentioned and some that are new to me that I'll have to try but one that I really enjoy that I haven't seen mentioned yet is BOHEMIA. It's from Mexico...mass-produced but quite tasty. Not too light, not too heavy. Just right!

And the red beer is great! Usually only good with lights and lagers (?). Helps to avoid a nasty hangover the next day too!

I'd only do the tomato juice in a cheap domestic though...no sense in ruining a good brew!

Can't do beer............nasty stuff! I am sticking to the wine.

LOL LaTigresse,
While I am very much love my winehaving gone thru certification as a Sommelier, I also LOVE my beer. I have tried beers from all over the world at tasting much like wine tastings. Some of my all time favorites are Pilsner Urquell from Pilsen Czechoslovakia (the original Pilsner beer) to English Stouts that are almost like syrup. Locally we have a small brewery that I have found that has one of my all time favorites. The brewery is called Four Peaks and it is in Tempe AZ. The beer touches my Scottish heritage and is truly a great scottish amber ale. the name of the beer is KILTLIFTER, (got to love the name) LOL

I tend to dislike most American domestic beer, with a few exceptions. I like the Sam Adams line, as well as Leinenkugel, but prefer a good German, or English beer. I guess I'll have to try a Belgian sometime. Goose Island's sampler platter was pretty cool, thou the glasses were a wee bit small

I have to agree with you on the Leinenkugel, it was the first beer I ever tasted. One of my neighbors growing up as a kid in Tempe Arizona was named Leinenkugel and they are related to the owners of the brewery back east in Pensylvania. Their relatives would regularly ship Leinenkugel beer out west for their family. My freind and I snuck one out to the back yard one night and passed it back and forth, and that was my first beer.

Every beer lover should make a pilgrimage to Belgium and do a tour of the small breweries once in their life so many beers and such a small country. They don't produce much that is good but their beer and chocolate (hateful combination) is just the best.

Guinness Draft is my favorite, easily accessible beer. Their Stout has just a little too much bite for my tastes.

In the hot weather, I tend to switch to Harp. But there hasn't yet been a year that's passed that I haven't enjoyed at least several pints of Pilsner Urquell, Karlovacko, and Grolsch.

A shandy can be a wonderful thing, especially if one has been working in the hot sun all day, and is so dried out that that first cold one is going to hit you like a hammer...

I like about six parts Bass Ale or Blue Point Toasted laeger topped off with lemonade, but in a pinch, gingerale will do...

Hello A/all,

I brew my own.

I tend to enjoy my weizenbrau with 2 oz of Saaz hops, 1.5 for the boil and .5 for aroma.

But my all around favorite was a Guinness clone (made with some soured beer like the original) with a gallon of maple syrup in 5 gallons of beer. Tasted kinda funky the first year, but mellowed the second year to be simply sublime.

While it might sound weird to use 1/5 of the brew as maple syrup, the yeast took care of all the nasty sugars in the maple syrup and left it similar to guinness with strong highlights of maple.

I also enjoy a nice lager made with 10 pounds of rasberry. Again, the sugar is gone in the ferment and it is not remotely sweet.

Ginger in a ferment is almost a religious experience for me. The taste changes as it ages.

I hardly ever drink any commercial beer.

Just me, could be wrong, but there you go.

Sinergy
