Beer

[ThatRobGuy]

What's your favorite type?
And of that type, what's your favorite brand? (I'm looking for some new ideas )

I'll start

IPA
Great Divide Titan IPA

 

[PrayingForWisdom]

There are so many great microbrews in the U.S. I have greatly enjoyed the Sweetwater brewing company out of Atlanta for quite a while now, and it has made me happy to see them growing steadily.

In general, I do like a good IPA but am very open to most kinds of beer. When I do actually get out for a couple of drinks, I tend to try something different. With that said, I'm not sure that I gravitate toward one particular beer very often. I do, however, really like a lot of the black IPAs that have been popping up. It's an IPA... but it's dark? Doesn't even make sense but many of them are soooo good.

We have a local one up here in Ohio that's really good called the Great Lakes Brewing company...they make make a great pale ale and some great lager.

I know that I've had a few Great Lakes brews in the past, but I've done a pretty bad job of actually remembering which ones stood out. I feel like I should keep a journal or something to remind me of what beers impressed and which ones to never buy again.

I will definitely keep an eye out and make it a point to look more into Great Lakes. I'm pretty sure that it's even sold in some of the grocery stores around here now.

I know the most popular ones up here by GL are the Dortmunder Gold and Commodore Perry.

In the wintertime, I love me a good porter.

Best of that currently is a bi-coastal mashup partnership between Phillips out of Victoria, and Garrison out of Halifax. It's great. But Canadian, so probably hard to track down south of the 49th. One good one I've had recently is the Baltic Porter by Uncommon Brewers, which is in California.

I guess my taste in beer is pretty simple, as I like about any lager or lighter beer, never been able to develop much of a taste for the dark stuff.

I especially like a beer out of North Carolina called "Carolina Blonde" I've seen it in bottles in stores, but it's much better if you can find it on tap.

I also like Hefeweizen(wheat beer) pretty good, though it's not always easy to find around here. The Shiner company out of Texas has a good hefeweizen.

 

[elahmine]

Yep I'm a simple girl. Lager does it for me. I like Guinness, but it's usually too rich for my blood so then its cheap stuff like 211. Although I do enjoy a nice winter time ale.

 

[thispoorman]

Now me, I'm a malt fiend: amber to midnight black is my range - rich, fruity, grainy, chocolatey, and sweet. Vienna lagers: Negra Modelo, Warsteiner Premium Dunkel. Doppelbocks: Paulaner Salvator, Spaten Optimator. Stouts; Guinness Extra Stout (want to try the Foreign Export), Highland Oatmeal Stout (almost a bit too hoppy, though). My favorite of all time awhile back was Oskar Blues Old Chub, but my grocery isn't stocking it regularly anymore.

IPA. Best is from a microbrew in Bellingham WA called Boundary bay. Only place that distributes it outside of the PNW is this place is called maltandvine DOT com, Usually buy a few and ship them cross country on my Bday.

I like a lot of different kinds of beer, it just depends on what I feel like really. Nowadays I tend to prefer a good Heineken or a Sam Adams Alpine Spring.

I had my first Alpine Spring on tap Wednesday night at Ruby Tuesday's; went out the next day and got a sixer. And I'm usually a dark beer guy!

Shiner Bock out of Texas - great for baking breads too

A buddy at work recommended Breckenridge 471 small batch...I gave it a shot and was very pleased.
