Recently I have returned to America, and I find myself on this new kick doing these things called beer tours. I dont know how many of you are even of age to drink, but i'm curious. Got any recommendations for me to try? I get tired of the good old american flag covered Budweiser :bigsmile:
-
nothing beats a delicious, beautiful, hand-crafted, American Colt 45.

It's dog piss.
German/Netherlands/Belgium beer it is. Although i have tasted local brews in Colorado, and they were good.

narguette is right

Thyrus-chan ! We only agreed to use those sort of names when in private !

Eh, being from the English countryside I'm much more into a good cider than beer. The range of cider you can get is surprising, shame it's not as 'manly' :P

I prefer beer, but cider is fine.
Also if you are to make a scale of manliness for alcohols... really ? Does that mean than wheat is manlier than apples ?
I suppose it is manlier if you irrigate whatever plant you use for alcohol with the blood of your enemies, grind their bones into dust and burn their flesh into ash and use them as fertilizer (calcium intakes ! potash !), but cider ? beer ?
Nah, no drink is manlier than any other drink. (Well, unless you add too much sugar and fruit juice to it) And not drinking can be manly as well.
Cider and beer are two different things, I prefer beer because all the ciders i've drink were average quality. I'm sure there are some awesome ciders in there.
Although them americans have another meaning for "cider" than here in France... don't know about england.
-
Ah, I forget, the UK's 'Lad Culture' isn't quite worldwide.
Basically cider isn't manly, you have to drink beer or lager because cider/most spirits/etc are for women. Apparently.
But yeah I've had some French cider. If you get the locally brewed stuff it can be pretty good, as with most countries. A lot of supermarket sold stuff is awfulness sold to the masses purely for the alcoholic content (cough strongbow cough)

Apple cider is manly, other ciders aren't so much.
Pear cider is my fave, but I'll drink any cider really. Beer is eh. I had bad experiences with it when I was ill so I won't be going back anytime soon.
-
Can't go wrong with Guinness.

Yeah, for the better.
-
Depends what part of the country your're in. In my neck of the woods, Saranac and Sam Adams are great domestic beers, while Southern Tier and Middle Ages Brewery make great local craft beers, for a somewhat hefty price.
-

I hear pear cider is pretty damn good, we have some in france but it's a MINOR drink, i really want want to try it.
Also today is beer day. Haven't started to drink though.

Eh, I rarely drink guinness but for some reason I don't like the taste much. Must be too rich.
And yes, i drink triple fermented beers (<= the best) with no issue.
-
Oh yeah, how can I forget Stella? Stella and Guinness are my favourite beers (Stella probably being my preferred choice.) In Stoke, they are the main beers you'll find, so I don't really have that much experience with any other beers, although they are not the only beers I have had before.
-
You mean Stella Artois ? Tried it, thought it was a completely average beer.
There are worse ones though.
edit: also i am having a brown Jenlain. It is quite decent, even good, i've had better brown beers but it's far superior to the pale Jenlain.
-
I can't get into beer. Just don't care for it. I'm more of a hard liquor or mixed drink kind of guy. The occasional wine cooler isn't bad either.
-
leinenkugel is my jams
-
Tripel Karmeliet is the greatest beer ever, just saying.
-
Crown Royal Black is my favorite beer!
OK ......... try Mickeys, it is pretty good!

What I drank today.
-
was it actually pumpkin flavored ? that must be odd
-
As previously mentioned, I don't really beer, but last week I bought one of these, for obvious reasons
(http://www.beers.bg/image/cache/data/trooper-500ml-bottle-500x500.png)
It now sits in my cupboard with a few ciders, awaiting it's time.
-
Very nice!
-
Cheated on cider by having a Doom Bar with a pub lunch today. It wasn't bad.
-
I hate it when Doom Bars are mentioned around my friends because all make the over-used joke that I make the beer (my last name is Sharp.)
-

It's actually brewed from pumpkins. It has hints of pumpkin and cinnamon. Basically, a pumpkin spice beer.

So they ferment the starch/carbohydrates from pumpkins ? hmm, i thought beer had to be brewed from some sort of cereal
-
This Trooper is really good, and I'm not a beer person.
-
Of course it's good, it's Iron Maiden approved.
-
Dogfish Head 90-minute IPA is fantastic!
(http://www.beership.com/image/cache/data/dogfish90min-500x500.jpg)
It's a bit pricy, and only comes in a four pack, but it's 9% alcohol, so you'll need fewer beers to get the job done.
Also worth mentioning, but not as good: Old Rasputin
(https://boozedancing.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/north-coast-old-rasputin-ris.jpg)
Terminator Stout

I don't really have a taste for beer. I don't like the bitter taste of most of the big name brews, but I'd like to find some kind of beer that I can stand to drink. What would you guys suggest for me?

Anything Belgian and German is, most of the time, good.
I've tasted good things from the micro-breweries in my time in America.
If it's a cheap, mass produced beer it's most likely piss.
Beer is honest: you get what you pay for. There ARE some average, overpriced beers and there are some decent cheap beers, but overall it's that.

Current beer of choice

Lacks the bitterness I find in a lot of British stuff.
-
Fursty Ferret has been my go-to beer for the past little while aswell, about one of the only beers i can actually hold (Beer just doesnt agree with me, makes me feel ill regardless of how little of it i drink). Besides Fursty Ferret the only ones that ive been able to stand were the Iron Maiden Trooper, which unfortunately is a rare find around my area, and another one that escapes my mind currently.
More of a Whiskey drinker myself, although for casual drinking i tend to stick to Cider (Again, inability to hold beer)
-
Been drinking and loving this:

Say what you like, Wales ftw.
-
ALL THOSE NEW BEERS TO TASTE it's getting me excited

And I've had this before a few times:
(http://images.foodepedia.co.uk/drink/2013/014_8851993516014_IDShot_225x225.jpg)
I don't recommend Chang, it's an alright "beer" *cough*lager*cough*. I've drank Chang at a few Everton FC games at Goodison Park... soo yeah (COYB)
Though Banks's is good drink imo
-
Best Beer you get in my home area

Bump.... I tried Landshark tonight for this first time and surprisingly really enjoyed it. I can't really find the words to describe it, but if you find yourself in a store looking for something to drink and you see it on the shelf I recommend it. Nothing quenches a thirst after work like some cold ones. :mrgreen:

Not that this thread isn't good and all, but I miss the old beer thread. Anyone remember that?
