    Default I need a new Beer suggestion thread.

    As of late it seems like I've drank just about every beer on the planet having made home made brew (which sounds very tempting). My question is what beers would you recommend to someone who has had almost everything legal to drink in this country???

    My favorite beers of late have been Stone's Russian Imperial Stout and Port's Santa's Little Helper which is a seasonal but might still be around.

    Way too many to list, but I prefer beer to be chewy. Riggwelter, etc. "Lager" is indeed old Norse for "the piss of the blind goat with the yeast infection".

    Nothing is better than German pilsner or kolsch consumed in Germany. For a while, I liked some varieties of Sam Adams, but I think that was mostly due to patriotism. I always thought of Heineken as the dependable adequate beer, but they seem to have changed either the formulation of Heineken or my taste buds in the past couple years.

    So Stella Artois it is.

    if you like a dark beer or ale Scotland has some really good ones. I personally like one called Skullspliter really how can you not like it with a name like that its got viking on the bottle also. But really besides that, it really had good flavor.

    are you in the states and do you have a bev mo near you? what kind of beers do you like porters? stouts? ipa? heffe? let me know. I like beers a whole lot and can recommend several high quality outstanding american craft brews, as well as some imports..... I worked at a bar for a little over a year, and learned a whole lot about it.

    Beertown is my favorite and I'm not a heavy beer drinker so it has to be something decent for me to like it...

    there probably are american produced beers that i'd like... the non-gigantic-corporate type. and you know, i totally forgot about heffe... love that stuff. other beer types confound me. i don't know the first thing about it.
    there's a bev mo relatively close. love that place. *-*

    To counter all the hardcore stouts I've been having lately I've been drinking a lot of cider too. My bar has Woodchuck Amber but I prefer their Dark and Dry or a Strongbow.

    I haven't been able to get Ace in a while. There was a really great beer bar in the area that had it but they haven't carried it lately.

    I'll drink just about anything, but right now I really like the Dogfish Head 90-minute IPA. The 60-minute IPA is pretty damn good, too. Stone Brewery makes lots of good beers also. I really like English bitter, but it is hard to get here (not the same in the can/bottle) so I make it, and lots of other kinds of beer, myself. Fresh beer that you put your own labors into is the best beer on Earth!

    If you get that Dogfish Head 90-minute, make sure to drink it from a glass...lots of aroma hops in there that you don't really appreciate if you drink from the bottle. Oh yeah, and their 120-minute was just too much for me. Didn't care for it and at $8.99/bottle it just seemed like a gimmick.

    Guiness. Guiness and Guiness.

    In the can, in the bottle, from the tap. All ways are good ways.

    Murpheys stout is also pretty good, right next to guiness.

    AB was my longstanding favorite beer. Enough so that I animated their logo as part of my demo reel. But it got booted by their Russian Imperial Stout.

    Yeah, I pretty much only like their IPAs. The rest of their beers are made of weird shit like muscat grapes.

    Dogfish Head makes a rum that's nothin' to write home about. Unless of course you're a big fan of writing, "Eeeeh".

    Now here is one for the real connoisseur. Years ago a friend of mine had told me briefly about an ale called green rooster. After what little research I could find all points to possible the most horrible of skunk beer. Anyone ever have or hear of the beer??

    Young's Double Chocolate is popular around here. My buddy who's a bartender started experimenting with shit and found an amazingly tasty drink using it. But I'm not sure he'd appreciate me broadcasting the recipe so early.
