Beer!

Labatt is not bad! It's better than Coor's Light.

Cybrok, you are so right, Quebec has some great beers. My favorites are from that brewery in Chambly that makes Maudite and I guess La Fin Du Monde, or something like that, but I just remember them as great beers.
 
Ok guys first questin can I mail beer usps? If so there is a beer made in a local brewery about 60 miles from my house called Shiner Bock and it is awesome. If I can ship it I might give a few members a few beers each so they can try something new.

I'm not much of a beer drinker, mainly Miller Lite. But I do enjoy Hornsby's Amber Draft Hard Cider (just got back from town with some).

Weirdly, I don't think I know anyone who loves both beer AND cider. My roommate loves cider but hates beer (which is why it's so funny that she liked the Maudite). I love beer but can't drink cider. For some reason it gives me an instant hangover without the drunkenness -- really, is that fair? :)
 
I drink a lot of Blue Moon Belgian White (Owned by Coors), Fat Tire (New Belgium Brewery, Ft. Collins, CO), and Corona. I've discovered a taste for Chimay Ale Grande Reserve, and Premium (S.A. Bieres De Chimay, Belgium) and O'Fallon Smoked Porter (O'Fallon Brewery, O'Fallon, MO). I also love a good Guinness, preferably from a tap in Ireland, but it's hard to justify the plane flight price.:D The Chimay Ales come in a .75 liter CORKED bottle, and run 9% and 7% alcohol by volume. They have a strong complex flavor that goes well with steak and potatoes.
 
Normally I drink beer or bourbon, but here lately I've been on a cider and Irish Whiskey kick.

I just can't figure out why it's (cider) so much more expenisve than beer!

Do they distribute to the US at all?

I don't hitnk so :(

La Barberie is hard to find, even in Quebec city. They are not able to produce enough to export it. But if one of you guys come to Quebec city, I'll bring you there :)

Also, Unibroue is told to get better with age, like wine. I have a Terrible in my parent's "cellar" since a few years now.
 
Ahh....beer....
Well now, I like the Blue Moon, kinda spicy.
For the lighter guys we have Podkovan which is along the lines of a Pilsner.
Edel-wieze, and nice lighter wieze beer by Schnieder & Sons
Aventius Dopplebock has to be one of my favorites....dark, full with subtle notes of clover and chocoalte.
If you like the darks Delirium Nocturnium is great. Belgian dark, very full and bready. I would liken it to drinking pumpernickle.
More Belgians??
ABT 12, a abbey brewed ale.
Grand Cru of the Emperor!! Brew once a year for the birthday of Charles the Fifth.
Here in Maine we have a few micros that do some decent stuff. Sebago brews a nice Runabout Red ale that really is a nice Irish red with a cleaner finish, and the Boathouse brown is the best local replica of a true English Brown ale that I have found.
For me, I am still searching for a really good high gravity IPA.
 
If you can find it locally, Flying Dog Brewery of Denver makes fine brews, particularly the Doggie Style Pale Ale and Tire Biter Porter.

The Ralph Steadman-designed labels drew me in, but the beer keeps me buying it.
 
Best Porter I've ever had is Firestone Walker brewing in Santa Ynez above Santa Barbera. Porter is hard to find and great porter is extremley rare.
Wild River Brewing in Grant's Pass serves up a Double Eagle Imperial stout that is another favorite. I can also reccommend Tsumami Stout by Pelican Brewing in Pacific City Oregon. Prettiest little brewpub right on the beach. Had a perfect meal and accompaniments there. The girlfriend and I try to take a three week drving trip through the brewpubs of Oregon on a yearly basis. Last year we couldn't because of lack of employment. This year we hope to do it again.
 
Aside from Guinness, one of my favourites is Young's Double Chocolate Stout, had one with my dinner last nite, smooth! (brewed in london)

That is too bad. :(

Unibroue. . .
since the stuff is refermented in the bottle, maybe it gets stronger with age as well?

How is Terrible pronounced? I have heard it as "Terr-eeb" but that sounds weird to me.

Have you tried the Quelque Chose hot? I have been told it is best when heated like hot cider.
 
New Belgium brews, out of Fort Collins Colorado. Very good.

Then there is Sam Adams, thats always a good decision...

But seriously folks, Red Stripe Lager, and Blue Moon are good too.

I like Jameson Irish Whiskey most. Or real Scots Whisky. Bourbon is good but I think Southern Comfort is too sweet.

Yep. Thats a college education for you, and I'm still learning.

Newcastle was one of my early favorites and I still enjoy it, although it seems to taste better on tap. Good luck finding it on tap. (If you do, let me know where.)

Unless their website is totally lying, the Tap House in Bellevue keeps it on tap -- as well as Maudite, Rogue Hazelnut, and a number (160, specifically) of other good ones. I'll have to do some field research and let you know. :D

Please do, and report back. That would be worth a trip to Bellevue.

We used to have a place right here in Silverdale that featured Newcastle and some other hard-to-find brews on tap, believe it or not; nothing good ever lasts around here, though, and it burned down some years back while I was deployed. It was an ugly thing to come home to.

It is still missed. :(

"mmmmm Mmmmm! That's good M*&^*^*% F*&*^&*$ beer, B*^%@!"

:D
I like Red Stripe every so often....cold. I've been told that I once tried to drink one that was warm, choked on it, and proclaimed that it tasted like "bathwater and @$$****" I don't recall saying that, but supposedly I did. One of my favorite activities is playing Xbox Live with my buddies while drinking heavily. Kind of like a night out with the guys from the comfort and safety of my own home (my wife likes that part of it;)). Generally, I make a fool of myself and hear about it later.
I've got a coffee stout chilling in the fridge as we speak. I'm looking forward to that later. The wife enjoys India Pale Ale...me not so much. I did have a great Scotish stout called Skull Splitter. I bought it on the name alone. It turned out to be one of the tastiest beers I have ever bought from a super market. However, at $9.99 a 4 pack...it's an every-so-often treat.
My wife has me on a Bourbon kick as of right now. It's the Louisvillian in her, to be sure;) However, a nice bourbon on the rocks maybe a splash or two of soda water does hit the spot.
A nice desert drink Irish Coffee is always a fitting way to top off a piece of pie or cake. Maybe even just a little Irish Cream on the rocks.
We're actually more wine drinkers than anything. It's kind of an expensive vice, but once you start experimenting...it can't stopped;) Yet another trait that I picked up from her that she picked up from her folks.
Jeeze o Pete this thread is making me sound like a lush;):rolleyes:
