THE BEER THREAD(?)----->!!!

[RoyalPalmer]

I wish the Australian beer scene didn't suck as much. Our craft beer selections isn't exactly amazing with the most extreme style they choose is a Pale Ale which almost always sucks. My favourite, Little Creatures is getting kind of boring after the 50 billionith case.

I think due to the American economy we're getting more US beers coming in but the only good things are your generic Sierra Nevada range (PA,IPA,Hef), I'm totally hanging out for some more to come out.

There's, what I like to describe as, the crust punks of beer Mikkellers. They brew at other breweries but seem to be everywhere. You should see if you can get anything by them. Completely overpriced but very good. And if it is your only other option then it is well worth the extra $$$. Also I heard Stone is going to begin brewing in Europe which may mean you will be able to get them soon.

I read some reviews of the Coco Mole and am seriously intrigued! Had the Lava tonight, and it was really tasty. The smoke was prominent but not overwhelming. I've had a few smoked porters before, and it seems very easy for them to go over the edge into crazytown. This one walked the line, but didn't get excessive. Pretty smooth overall. It LOOKED gorgeous too, which is a nice plus.

Yeah that Lava was nice. Better at room temp than cold. The Great Divide Smoked Porter is my favorite. So well balanced. The Left Hand Voodoo Donut, on the other hand, not so much. Too smokey, too maple. They really got that one wrong. Hype beer that overloaded all the flavors. BUT if you can't get one it is worth trying

This thread is so cork snifferish. I drank Coors Light tonight

But then I hardly ever drink...

It's not for everyone. That's for sure. I mean I've never had a hamburger/steak and I eat meat.

Had one of these tonight:

I admit it, I bought it purely because I liked the logo. Thankfully, it turned out that I liked the beer too. I'd have it again.

Wait what? You eat meat but have never had steak or a burger? I hope I'm drunk and completely misinterpreting your statement, because that's plain wrong. Pretty much the two best foods ever.

That is how I select my bottled wine purchases (because I know nothing about fine wines).

It's aight, Bloo - fancy beeuhs ain't for everyone. Personally, when it's a super hot gross day out, there's nothing I like more than an ice cold Corona. But there's so many crazy beers out there, I can't help but want to try the funky ones out. Plus, I'm a cheap date - I max around 3 beers on a WILD NIGHT OUT, so I like to make 'em count, so to speak.

I've had some of the finer beers before and enjoyed them. Last night was just the first time I've posted in this here thread in LOOOONG time, and I felt all skanky and gross because of my choice of poisons.

COORS: MAKES YOU FEEL SKANKY AND GROSS!

I think we may have a new marketing slogan here, folks!

Last beer I had was a PBR.

I've been drinking only Hamm's for two months now...

That'll all change when I turn 21 in a month

Saison du Buff marks the second time i've really enjoyed a beer related to Dogfish Head. excellent excellent saison.

3 Floyds Alpha King is fucking amazing, like everything else they make.

Maudite was pretty good too.

a local brewery that doesn't do bottles, only tap, the Market Garden (if you're in CLE go there. its a necessity)
their scotch ale was fantastic, but tasted kinda like a belgian, and their saison was very good, but kinda tasted too sweet, like a kinda earthy hefeweiss, but still rly rly good. the scotch ale was vooderbrah

[sylnau]

A very good German beer.

Spent a good chunk of last week way out in the wilds of Maine and had some tasty brews. Somehow, I lost most of the photos I took of the beers.

This guy made it, though. It was mighty yummy, too.

Other highlights included a nice bottle of Brother Thelonius Abbey Style Ale, and the White Birch Smoked Imperial Brown Ale.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
