Longtime lurker, first time poster here (etc., etc.)

As an Australian, I'm really enjoying the abundance of 'micro-breweries' popping up all over the place, always fun to go off to a new one to try their brew (And I used to think my parents were so old because they went out to wineries when I was a child). They also seem to be having the effect of making 'regular' beers cheaper due to the increased pressure on the market, which is fantastic.

White Rabbit (Who I'm pretty sure own Little Creatures) make a fantastic pale ale, and Mildura Brewery has a lovely wheat beer that goes down beautifully on a hot January arvo. My 'local' microbrewery (Coldstream Brewery; about a 15 minute drive) is one of my favourite places for sunday lunch.

Sadly I'm not quite so patriotic in my choice of ciders (cider in a beer thread?! Surely not!) with my on-tap favourite being Bulmers, although I do enjoy indulging in a Rekorderlig Pear whenever I feel I can afford them.
Well I have a holepunch, so let's not get big-headed.

To those who say they do no like the taste of beer, I respond with "Well you probably haven't had any good ones yet."

While American Lagers have their place at Tailgating events, or college parties (both good times), if you want a good beer with good taste you must widen your horizons. If you ever go to Europe, try all different types of beer. When I was abroad at Oxford I learned to appreciate how good beer can be. I now prefer English/ Irish ales (and yes warm ones), and really any good dark ale. German beer, specifically a Deunkel from Munich, is probably my top favorite beer, but of course is hard to come by.

Here in the U.S I drink George Killians Irish Red. It is widely available, relatively cheap, and very good. I will be graduating college next week and will always have a place in my heart (and stomach) for both PBR and Keystone. Yes they taste pretty terrible, but so many good times came from drinking them.

Beer is great, but one thing is better. And that thing is Whiskey. Any Whiskey fans out there???

Kortosis I agree that whiskey can beat beer any day but only in certain circumstances. If I am on my porch grilling I can't NOT have a beer!

btw, if you haven't tried Duck Rabbit's porter out you need to.
If it sounds good, it is good.

I'm lucky enough to live in the best beer producing country in the world, Belgium.

Some suggestions:
Anything from this wiki
My absolute favorite is the Rochefort 10, tastes really rich and a bit sweet but only down side that is has like 11,3% alcohol in it... but it has the best aftertaste of them all. You can savor the taste really long.

If you ever get the chance, you should try to get a Westvleteren, but the chance you get to drink one is very slim It's a beer that has one many prizes and stuff, and it's one of those breweries that have been doing their trade for a long long time.

Now, to some more common beers, if you ever get the change try these: Gulden Draak, Piraat (I think its nicer than Duvel), Keyte Doubel (find it near Ostend), Grimbergen, Stella, ... man I could go on and on.

I wonder how much you guys pay for Belgian beer, hahaha :p

We might not have a government, but boy do we have beer :D

Edit: oh, we have like 125 breweries in a country the size of the state Maryland.

At beer festival.

Noticed a beer called Mole Trap, so against my best judgment opted to buy it in honour of our favourite brood war turned SC2 caster.

Somewhat mundane maltyish bitter with annoying aftertaste. Is this descriptive of him? That's for you to decide, but a general fuuuuuuuuuuuu to mauldons brewery for having me try it over beers I actually want

I'm German and I support this opinion. The 4th one, Krusovice, is my favorite beer :D Pils Urquel and Budweiser are both standard good ones too

Budweiser budvar btw, is the real version of Budweiser and the american version is crap

Why isn't that in the picture? :D

To beer! The cause of - and solution to - all of life's problems!

Leffe Bruin, Guinness, Erdinger, Westmalle, A. LeCoq etc. etc. are all my good friends...

So I found at a young age that the pickier that I was about what I drink, the less I drink. I rarely drink anymore at all, but when I do purchase beer I have a main and a backup brand. My back up is Red Stripe. I love the stuff, but my main, really the only beer that I drink is one of my home-state drinks, Anchor Steam. I love going back to SF and getting it on tap.

I live near Reno NV now and in my town you cannot get it. I have to go into Reno and only the ffew huge liquor stores carry it.

Anchor Steam baby!

I like beer so much that I make my own beer. Sadly, since I don't have any refrigeration equipment (for brewing that is) and I live in an old farmhouse, I don't get to brew much during the summer. I might try to bang out a couple gallons of Saison since it's a style that can withstand fermentation at higher temperatures. I am a real sucker for the Bitters and Pale Ales of England and I've been toying with a Landlord clone for the better part of this year (not getting anywhere close, but my beer still tastes great). Low ABV beers that are both subtle and tasty are an artform.

When I buy commercial stuff, I will usually go for local microbreweries. Quebec has some fantastic ones (and some really bad ones), but you really can't go wrong with Unibroue, Charlevoix, Trois Brasseurs, etc. Microbrasserie Charlevoix has a kickass Milk Stout that isn't close to being to style (it's 9% ABV after all) but it is like drinking a good dessert coffee. Creamy, rich and a tad sweet, there's nothing better to savour around a campfire after a day of fishing.

I just tried Blue Moon and it's not at all how people described it. It's not sweet nor have any citrus taste. All I taste is bitter, not near as much as other beers, so it's drinkable. Maybe my tastebuds just suck.

On a side note, I really can't hold alcohol well. I feel a bit light-headed after only a few sips.

I don't really know much about beers to be honest. But reading peoples opinions in the thread has been very rewarding at least.

I'll contribute with a joke, that coincides with my beer taste instead.
The four CEOs of some of the largest breweries in the world, Carlsberg, Heineken, Budweiser and Guiness went out to a pub and ordered.

"I'll have a Carlsberg - Probably the best beer in the world." said the Carlsberg executive.
"I'll have a Heineken, the best beer in the world." said the Heineken executive.
"Then I'll have a Budweiser, the most sold beer in the world." said the Budweiser executive.
"Ok, then I'll have a Coca Cola." said the Guiness director.
"Why?" asked the Carlsberg executive.
"If you're not ordering beer I'm not either."


:D

A good beer can be amazing. For those who like Hops and bitterness, try the Dogfishhead 90minute IPA. Carlsberg, Spaten Lager, Guinness Stout, Ayinger, Stella Artois, La Fin du Monde are all good beers as well (imo, obv).

Rejoice, have a beer!

I've tried most of the blue moon beers, some are ok. They are basically a macro brew made by coors. Anyway, the best one IMO is the Belgian Ale. It's flavored with a bit of coriander and that's where the orange tastes people are tasting come from. As for sweet, I've never really tasted a genuinely sweet beer.

I tried a 6pack of Stella Artois a few weeks ago due to someone recommending it. It compares directly with heineken but stronger. Same cannibus smell and taste. Maybe my stella was skunked (clear green bottle.) but I found it disgusting.

What's currently in the fridge:

Completely agree with this man. Pilsner Uruquell is absolutely fantastic. Gambrinus as well.

I'm from Quebec, so this stuff costs like pennies since it's made here. Unibroue is fantastic. I'm drinking some Fin du Monde right now and it's amazing. I really like La Maudite too, and I'm dieing to try Don de Dieu:

Ahhh... The best bottle of beer i had was while doing the trip every man has to do with his best mates, the trip to Amstedam. There in a sportsbar we enjoyed 20 TV 's showing the champions league, a beatiful waitress, and a cold Heineken! (the one brewed in holland, cause there are alot of 'heineken' being brewed elsewhere that taste awful... )

Aye, Heineken here in America is total crap compared to what it is in Amsterdam.

Well i figured this thread could use some love. Currently enjoying the Nelson Imperial IPA courtesy of Widmer Brothers in Portland OR, and this is one tasty beer. At 8.6% it is slightly stronger than most IPA's you will find but that does not overpower the flavors that this brew has. It is very bold and hoppy at the start but finishes quite creamy and smooth, unlike a lot of IPA's that leave you wishing you chose something much sweeter. Although it is quite spendy at $8 for a 4 pack, it is quite worth it. Im sure many of you are familiar with Widmer's Hefeweizen, but i strongly suggest you check out their other beers they offer, or even venture to their brewery to try the multitude of beers that are available only in-house.

This man knows what he is talking about. Our beer is the best and i have been enjoying it since 15, because in my country, i could. Legal drinking age is 18, but there wasn't problem to come in a bar when i was 15 and get a beer.
