Title: Beers Post by mattus on Apr 18th, 2008, 10:11am I know what I like, and I know what I have in the fridge. They are two totally different things. I have Toohey's Extra Dry and Hahn Premium Dry in the fridge, but prefer a lot of other stuff - Argonaut, anything in the Squire's range does it for me. Porters are magnificent, Stouts can be reeeeeally nice. I had a couple pints of Beez Neez at the Mullaloo Beach Hotel today - awesome off tap. Big fan of the now defunct Inchant Brewery. They produced Bullant Beer, Midland (?) Porter, and a few others that were good, tasty beers. Abny others I should try? I don't mind trying imports - what US beers are any good? British ? Anything? I need variety. Provide me with variety... ! |

So miss out on a beer, and buy a carton that gives you the shits? Eh? I must be missing something. It better taste good, if it's going to mess with your guts like that. A lot of replies - I like it! I now have to figure out if my local sells this range. Quote:
Tooheys Pils is good too, I like that. |

Title: Re: Beers Post by George_J on Apr 18th, 2008, 8:00pm Dead Guy Ale from Rogue Brewery. Obsidian Stout from Deschutes Brewery. Black Butte Porter from Deschutes. Widmer Brothers Hefeweisen if you want a girly beer--but it ain't bad if it's the last draw off the keg, and it's got a lot of swirlies and yeast in it. Lots of other NW micros to sample as well. So much beer, so little time. Best, George |

Title: Re: Beers Post by Charlie on Apr 18th, 2008, 8:04pm I realize Europeans experiences with beer are so different from ours but I agree that Labatts Blue is good stuff here.....none of that damned Lite crap either. Good stuff. Charlie |

Title: Re: Beers Post by Annette on Apr 18th, 2008, 9:34pm My goodness, I never knew there were so many different varieties of beer ! And the names ... so creative , some of them .. I wish the medication get called something interesting like Moose Drool instead of something boring like Olanzapine, it would be a lot easier to remember ;) |

Hmmm... I wonder if this is the same I grew up on in WA? Think the spelling was Rheinlander and there was 11 oz per stubby bottle. The cheapest available, and as a teen on a lawn mowers budget, my favorite. Yeasty with high carbonation. Ballinger was similar (seem to recall a label that had a logo that looked like pretzels and from NY?). We also had Lucky Lager, the greenest, gassiest, most barf inducing so-called beer I've ever met. There were little picture puzzles under the cap. Dad drank Schmidts, we (teens) called it "animal beer" (see the can). The BEST single beer I ever had was fresh out of the tap, right off the production line at the Rainier brewery in Seattle (sadly gone, gone, gone and cryin won't bring it back). That was in 1977 and I still remember it like my first love (Kimmie, or was that Joyce, o-r-r-r-r-r maybe Linda). Naw, it WAS Kimmie Thompson, "she ripped my heart out and stomped that sucker flat". But surely, I digress. Now that I can afford, I likes me some of that Heineken, Moosehead, Anchor Steam, or most anything from Black Hook...not much lately, beer wakes up the beast-sigh! Regards, Jon |

Title: Re: Beers Post by cynjeep89 on Apr 18th, 2008, 10:10pm Moosehead is a good beer! We have a microbrewery in Rehoboth Beach Delaware called Dogfish Head. I try to support my local businesses so we tried some Dogfish Head beer and it was awful. Tasted like a bunch of rotted flower petals with water....ick! |

Title: Re: Beers Post by AussieBrian on Apr 18th, 2008, 10:28pm I tend to steer clear of beers that have a picture of the factory on the can - Emu Bitter, Swan Lager and the like. Perhaps it's an avoidance thing but, given the taste, I just don't want to know where they came from. |

Title: Re: Beers Post by Argonaut on Apr 18th, 2008, 10:58pm I've not ever had any American beer; only European and Aussie beers. I generally love stouts but I also like some Belgium Whites and wheat beer. The problem with stouts is they can fill me up very quickly! Here's my favourites list: European + Hoegaarden White [NED] - a smooth, zesty Belgium White and is my preferred house beer; + Orval [BEL] - a Belgium Ale; + Belle-vue Kriek [BEL] - a cherry beer; + Greene King Abbot Ale [IRE] - a premium bitter; + Newcastle Brown Ale [UK] - you guessed it, a Brown Ale; + Guinness [UK]; + Kronenburg [GER]. Heineken is crap here - they are brewed by Carlton. The imported version is apparently much nice. Asian: + Yebisu Black [JAP] - a dark beer, very smooth and warm. Australian: + Gage Roads Malt Lager [WA] - my favourite beer, made by a microbrewery in WA; + Gage Roads IPA [WA] - usually don't like IPAs but this one is nice; + James Squire Porter; + James Squire Amber Ale; + Elmar's Kickback [WA] - a wheat beer from a glass microbrewery called Elmars in the Valley; + Mash Black [WA] - a stout from MASH, a microbrewery. Feral Brewery [yet another WA microbrewery] used to do a fantastic beer whose name escapes me. It was the only beer I liked at Feral when I visited - it was 13% alcohol and they would not serve it in a pint due to its strength. Last I checked, it has been discontinued. I'm very much over Little Creatures brewery, although I do like their Pipsqueak Cider. Of their beers, the only one I like is their pale. Beez Neez is a good beer; goes down very smooth and is sweet but not cloying. It's not particularly interesting for my taste buds, though. Same with Coopers Pale - very refreshing but it's almost like downing water. |

Title: Re: Beers Post by brewcrew on Apr 18th, 2008, 11:04pm Just thought of another one: a Belgian Trappist ale called Chimay (the maroon label, can't remember what the style is named). |

Title: Re: Beers Post by jon019 on Apr 18th, 2008, 11:20pm Drinkin vicariously here-and lovin it... Chimay yup! Newcastle Nut Brown Ale yup! Stella Artois (Heineken like) yup! Guinness (a beer you can CHEW) yup! Wish I could try some of those Aussie brews Argo! Also just thought of another, brewcrew, Blue Moon Belgian White. Regards, Jon |

Title: Re: Beers Post by Argonaut on Apr 18th, 2008, 11:39pm I never liked Stella Artois; I always thought it was a flat and boring beer ;;D Speaking of European beers, I just remembered another great one - Hoegaarden Forbidden Fruit. |

Chimay's a Lambic, I think... And the blue label's a "Trippel" if I'm not mistaken. A couple other guys and I used to have a local market keep a case stashed in the back for us, and we'd buy a bottle now and then when we felt flush enough to spend nine bucks on a bottle of beer. They ferment Lambics with wind-borne wild yeast. My brother's the home brewer. He knows a lot more about this stuff than I do. He's big into IPA's. Best, George |

I was actually able to culture the yeast in the bottom of a bottle of Chimay to make my own, homebrewed "Chimight." Best beer I ever made. It might be a lambic, but I was just going by what I saw on the label: http://www.chiconesliquor.com/files/u1/chimay.gif |
