i make almost all the beer i drink. pale ale, ipa, porter, stout, barley wine, imperial stout, wheats, you name it. when i run out, i drink mostly guinness draft cans, slightly cooled.

PBR is my everyday beer. I can't handle anything "light".

Here's my current favorite, you only need one!

Smithwicks...or as they say it in Ireland, Smiddiks.

I would give Pearl hell when it was still made at the Pearl Brewery in San Antonio. Almost every Saturday I would buy 4 cases of longnecks at John's Beer Barn in Boerne. The stuff they pass off for Pearl now is nasty tasting.
And as far as keeping you regular, it would only give you the chitz if your were full of chit to start with.

BP...

for a run of the mill lawnmower beer, its hard to beat busch. $19 a 30 pack and it actually has some flavor.

Being recently able to drink beer again without getting sick (for about 18 months there I couldn't drink a half pint without getting sick) I have recently gotten back into drinking beer.

One of my favorites is Mac & Jack's African Amber. Only available locally in bars or from the brewery itself in Redmond. Also like Manny's form Georgetown Brewing (Manny's was developed by a former employee of Mac and Jack's who thought he could make a better amber and he left the company). Manny's also does not bottle. It's truly a sad thing.

I'm currently working my way through a New Belgium 1554 Black Lager sixer.

I also like Sam Adams Boston Lager. Their Winter Lager is also delicious.

Also like their Pivo Pilsner but it doesn't come in the sample 12-pack with the others at this point.

Ahhh another beer thread. I like beer.



There's a beer for every occasion and vice versa. Yeah I'll make fun of piss beer but I'm not above drinking it. Offer me a cold Coors Light at your home or on a fishing trip and I will readily accept, and not just to be polite; I appreciate the gesture and the drink. I'm not above that. I'm not against spending $20 on a good barrel-aged offering. I'm versatile

IPA's are not my favorite but they can be solid for just a drinkin' beer. We have a few good local selections, Mother Road has two great IPA's (Lost Highway Black IPA and Tower Station). They are solid and affordable and I'm supporting local business:



My favorite beers are generally extra malty and rich. Barleywines and Quads and bourbon barrel aged stuff can be awesome.

Lagunitas is a solid brewery and a good value. Not a fan of their general IPA which everyone loves but Little Sumpin Sumpin is solid. Their limited release stuff in bombers is generally good. They make a good Imperial stout. At $5 a bomber and available at Safeway this is a staple. A lot of their limited release stuff shows up at the grocery store too. All of their offerings are worth a try. Don't like them all but most are solid and some are very good.


Chicken Killer barleywine out of Santa Fe brewery is a staple of mine. It's like $6.50 a bomber and it's excellent. Great value, I stock up when it's available. Also wins the best artwork award:



Alesmith makes a great Wee Heavy. Rich and potent:


And this stuff, while expensive, is worth a bottle now and again. Wonderful:

Nice neighbor. Get her to bring you some Westmalle Tripel. It's like the Chimay, only better.

I have not tried an IPA that I like yet, they seem very bitter but sure are popular here.

I picked up a six pack of Stella yesterday. I doubt that I'll like it all that much if it's anything like Heineken though.
I also grabbed a 12 pack of my newly discovered Fat tire.

Gotta stock up when you only get to town once or twice a month.
I usually drink a PBR with lunch....it keeps me grounded.


Evening beer.


Working mans beer.

Bitter ain't the word.....'kerosene' comes close..

Distant relative joined our July 4th get-together about 2+ years ago and brought a couple six-packs of IPAs.. He loved 'em. I tried a sip and could barely restrain spitting it out into the lawn.. Couldn't even COOK with that crap - tried it once on a nice roast, hoping it would be ok and a way to get rid of it.. Tossed THAT roast into the garbage - ewwwwwwww.

Best stout I've ever had was at the Firehouse Brewery in Rapid City, SD.. They call it Centennial Creamy Stout, and two years in a row now I've missed it by about 5-6 days... Dammit. Maybe this year's the charm..

Why cook with a beer you wouldn't drink any more than you'd cook with a wine you wouldn't drink?

It was an experiment.. Ever try one?

Yes, but maybe I'm more conservative in what I'll try. My calculation in this instance would be a good roast is more valuable than whatever amount of beer I'm finding a use for by putting it in this dish, especially since I really dislike the beer.
