ILSnwdog Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 BTW: I appreciate your praise of "regular" beer. I enjoy a craft beer, but I can't stand the elitist attitude that derides a nice, simple lager. Who needs 8.7% alcohol on a hot day?I love throwing back a Miller Lite or two after working in the yard. Say what you want about Lite, but I find it very refreshing. Budweiser on the other hand...I can't drink the stuff. It gives me headaches and causes my body to produce copious amounts of methane. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no issue with Lite, but will avoid Bud with the only exception being XX on the rare occasion. Personally, I almost never drink much so my choice is usually a craft style beer. When it's hot, I get water or lemonade... beer isn't terribly refreshing to me. Edited October 31, 2015 by Lost In Xanadu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost In Xanadu Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) I had a Lakefront Pumpkin Lager last night and as much as I get annoyed with the fall pumpkin craze, it was perfectly paired with the swordfish. http://www.lakefrontbrewery.com/files/images/bottles/pumpkin.png Edited October 31, 2015 by Lost In Xanadu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Star Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I don't really go out of my way to look for any particular brew as i find the time-honored beers are the best.. My favoured "beer" (not lager) is this stuff.. at 7.5% ABV. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71zNOhKizNL._SL1500_.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x1yyz Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 The other day I had a locally brewed Point Diablo Dunkelweizen by Headlands Brewing Company in San Francisco. It was possibly the best Dunkelweizen I've had--rich and cloudy, but smooth, complex, and full of flavour. Dunkelweizens are not popular in the US so it's rare to find a non-German one, and even harder to find a really good one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjbear05 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) Guinness Drought I know a guy who can't go a day without a half a case of this stuff. I think I'd like a different to try original or extra smooth next time (maybe it's the placebo effect, I don't like associating any liquid with "dry" or "drought"). It's "draught", as in "draft". or Can't decide.And dry-it's in reference to the style. Dry Irish Stout (Guinness, Murphy's, Beamish, etc.). Bitter, as opposed to a "sweet, milk, or cream stout" (Mackesson XXX, Farson's, Bell's Special Double Cream, etc. The cream or milk designation refers to the addition of lactose, which sweetens the brew but does is not turned into alcohol during fermentation.

WorkingAllTheTime Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) It's probably a sign of a problem, but I love ales... pales, in particular. Basically, find a pine cone.... grind it up... ferment it with yeast.... give it to me. Thank you, universe, for the British invasion of the sub continent for it gave us hopped up bitters. Sure, I will partake in a lager (what I call a "porch pounder"), but I prefer a very bitter, very hoppy, very ale ale. PS I also only pretty much drink cab sauv, maybe a shiraz, on the wine side. Like I said, maybe a sign of a problem. Edited December 11, 2015 by WorkingAllTheTime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorkingAllTheTime Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Also, if you ever want a light, drinkable but dark beer, find yourself some Victoria. It's a Mexican brew, but a Vienna. Quite smooth. Quite nice year round. Only about 4%, but easy on the liver. Yeah, I know, it's not an ale and not at all bitter, but it's my version of Dasani.
