The Beers thread.

Must say an import has never recaptured, but having a Tiger Beer in it's country of origin (Singapore) with good friends and an awesome meal really made that beer stick out.

It was really nice. I'm not a huge beer drinker strictly but I've had enough to know I really enjoyed that one.

I found Tiger Beer to have some kind of weird taste here in Ireland. Dunno maybe it needs to be drank with specific food.

Carlsberg, a Danish brand (I think). Good lord that shit is awesome!!

The popularity of Corona in Australia, the US and the UK always surprises me, and all I can really chalk it up to is a string of very successful ad campaigns. If we're judging the American Adjunct Lager category of mass-produced Mexican beer - which is typically even lower on flavor than our awful American counterparts - not even Pacífico offends our senses with the skunk assault you get out of a clear-bottled Corona.

its because its cheap

like when you throw a party, you put a bunch of shitty vodka in all your empty alcohol bottles or buy shitty cheap beer, because great good beer would cost a lot more

but for single serve, i really couldn't tell you why

i havent had much in the way of beers, but liked guinness extra stout and blue moon

Sierra Nevada pale ale is probably the nicest beer ive had. really nice citrus and floral flavors

My store just started carrying Stone's Imperial Russian Stout, and being no stranger to their lineup (ABA, Ruination, etc.) I was eager to bring one home and crack it open. In a word: amazing.

A nice bottle of Guinness for me

I live in Quebec, Canada and nothing beats German and Belgian beers. (Stella and Wernesgrunner are my favorite "commercial" beers.

Even Unibroue.

I can totally relate to the first sentence. In regard to the second - and even if we agree the first is true - Trois Pistoles is still really damned good. :-)

I need to come up with a business plan for a beer store. Yep, I said it.

Pick-a-six is an idea for it. I am thinking tastings of certain styles/brands every couple weeks etc etc...

I really hope this purchase of a very large building takes place soon. (I cannot divulge any information, except I will be trying to open it near Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio)

My love of beer is going to transcend my life. (also, unibroue's La Fin Du Monde is AMAZING.)


Back to other beers: Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA. Samuel Smith's Nut Brown. Rodenbach (or Redbach). Ommegang's Three Philosophers. All different styles, all ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Try them and be impressed.

We have a "beer cavern" where I live. It's a really small store and everytime I enter the "cold heaven", I feel like a little kid. It's the "Ali Baba" cavern for men .

I have access to a lot of micro brewery in this cavern.

[Badpaladin]

My top three:

1. Firestone Walker IPA:
---Incredible year-round offering, plus it's a local brewery so it's ungodly fresh



2. Stone Ruination IPA:
--- Not one to have too much of. This thing is about as intense as intense gets.



3. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale:
--- The ultimate beer to casually enjoy. Not that intense, not too hoppy, not too fancy. Just a straight up phenomenal pale ale.



Yeah, I'm all about the California beers.

Being Cypriot, Favourite beer is 'Keo'. However, I do like
-Leffe (Belgian iirc)
-Duvel (8.6% Belgian Beer, tasty!)
-Fosters (Ale, Australian)
-Corona (+Lemon slice, damn good)
-Budwiser

And of course, black beer tops my list. God bless Guiness.
