I don't know how many of you like beer...

Ardentfrost · 07-19-2007, 10:21 PM

And I mean, really like beer. Not "I funnel Natty Ice" drink beer, but "I enjoy to try new possibly expensive, possibly imported beers because I love the way they taste" drink beer, then you might like the new trend I'm starting on my website: Beer evaluation.

I love to try new beers, and so I've decided to write about various beers I try on my website. I've probably tried 30 or more different beers in the short couple years I've actually been drinking beer, so now I'll be systematically going through them and others and talking about them.

Check it out... just one so far, but more will soon follow

Only 30?!!! Holy shit man, I've had perhaps more than 200 beers...gotta try The Flying Saucer The Flying Saucer Draught Emporium - www.beerknurd.com

Augustiner Pils out of Munich.

Ardentfrost · 07-19-2007, 11:13 PM

I love suggestions too

Understand, I don't drink often, and drinking 30 different beers is an average of more than 2 different ones a month for the entire time I've been drinking beer.

Flying Saucer isn't in Georgia

I'll have to try it next time I'm in NC.

My favorite beer isn't offered in Georgia either: Yuengling from PA. Amber Lager that I'm sure I'll be adding to my website soon. I have to go home (to where my parents live) to get it, which is sad.

Spaten Optimator...my favorite beer...

thomez · 07-20-2007, 12:00 AM

I don't know if I could pick a favorite...

thomez · 07-20-2007, 12:00 AM

when you say 30 beers... you mean 30 good beers right, not 30 in total?

Stylerod · 07-20-2007, 12:38 AM

I can't pick a favorite. I LOVE beer. I love it for the taste. I almost never get drunk cause I can usually not drink more then 3 or 4 (I get full).

I love going to Micro breweries. I love buying and trying new beers.

But I tell you what my fellow beer lovers. We are living in the right time to be beer snobs. 30 years ago our parents were loving Pabst. Blech!

I like:

Sam Adams
Sam Adams light
Bass

In no particular order

I love trying out micro-brews and local beers when I go out of town.

My Dad actually started his own brewery, but sold it right before he died because I was an idiot and wanted to keep playing knight instead of owning my own business. I know, i'm a fucking moron.

Looks like the place is still running.

I don't drink crap, if that's what you mean.

I thought it was too malty. I like a bit more bitter, but little aftertaste.

Sometime today I'll publish my second installment: Smithwick's. Real good beer.

Probably won't post another beer til this weekend, as those were the two beers I had in my fridge, but now that I'm running low I'll go pick up something else probably tonight. Probably one that I know and have tried a good bit, like Harp, or something from the local brewery (Sweetwater).

I "learned to drink beer" on Killian's, which was great

Didn't take long at all.

I hate Bass and Heineken... I hate Heineken so much, that the drunkest I've ever been in my life (my bachelor party) I couldn't drink one. Someone sat it in front of me, and I thought "well, I'm blitzed, no way I'll be able to taste it" but I was wrong... dead wrong

Dos Equis Amber is probably my favorite Mexican beer... maybe tied with Pacifico. They're both good.

I'm not a huge fan of Stella Artois or Beck's.

I haven't tried a lot of different Sam Adams beers, but I didn't much care for their Boston Lager. That's the one that everyone likes, but I just couldn't get into it. It might be because I'm more into Ales, and a lager has to be something special to get on my list (however, my favorite beer, the afore mentioned Yuengling, is a lager).

A friend brought me some special Sam Adams beer that is only available during the xmas holiday season that's supposedly their most bitter beer. I don't remember what it was called, but I liked it. It had really good flavor.

It sounds like you're a fan of hoppy beers. You might try the Arrogant Bastard Ale.

My grandfather's beer of choice (like, if he could have any beer in the world, it would be this) was PBR. I've had the stuff, and it has no flavor. It's almost bland enough where you could blindfold yourself and just think you're drinking water.

Yes, I am

I'll have to keep an eye out for that one.

as in never tried, or just don't drink it at all

because when you say 30 I'm thinking... wow I've had that many that you can buy at the gas station

IF you guys ever find yourself in Princeton, go to Triumph's Brewery. It's a restaurant/bar but it has it's own brewery. It's a pretty cool place. The beer is excellent. I guess some of it is meant to be served at room temp or only slightly below, I never quite got used to that, but it's good none the less.
