Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Best Beer?

Alpine Beer Company, in Alpine, Kalifornia, makes some spectacular beers... Alpine Ale, Willy wheat beer, and Mandarin Nectar. Yeah, it sounds like chick beer, but it's really good.

338: Not a chance......she could take me but she could never catch me in the first place!

On the beer, you got me figured all wrong....I don't go near light beer on a bet...even if it's free...it all tastes like panther piss to me,no matter who makes it.

They used to make a local beer call ed Blitz Weinhard. It was the best beer I have ever tasted. I guess these days Corona is my favorite.

John Smith's Extra Smooth is my favorite, but have yet to find it state side. Hard to be a fresh Guiness.

My favorite with food beer, most especially halibut. But alas I can't get it here.

I've had a lot of beer in Belgiun cafes and bars. I think the Belgians have raised the art of beer to the highest level!

Been drinking this:



and this:



No really....

Don't lead the uninitiated to the hop resin slaughter with Ruination. Even the regular Stone Pale would be a bit much for a novice with 45 IBU, the standard Sierra Nevada Pale having 37 as a reference.

If I come across some of the newly produced "original recipe" Schlitz I'll give it a fair try, but I've had the finest pale golden lagers in and/or very near the places they were made so the Schlitz has a big hill to climb if it's going to impress.

Taste is subjective. I've had plumb and grass brandy made in some dude's woodshed - it was danged good. I've had so called "fine scotch" and it wasn't fit to clean old motorcycle parts.

Living in WI - I get to drink a lot of beer that is only an hour to literally 45 seconds away from where it was made - fresh anything is always good.

Make mine a Miller Lite!

Since I have been out in the ME Tiger has become my beer of choice. Just ordered a twelve pack minutes ago.

I've had "bottled that morning" fresh "American style" beer from one of the big brewers. It was fine and really did exhibit the qualities that fresh beer can show, but it was still a long way off from hanging with an Augustiner as served here.

As others have written it is impossable to pick a best beer, especially with so many different styles to choose from. But, since this is primarially a hunting sight I will pick the one I enjoy most after a succesful hunt back in camp. Goose Islands, Bourban County Brand Stout. It is a wonderful way to celebrate a fine hunt!

i'm not an everyday beer drinker, but when i pick some up from the store it's usually the XX amber...

on another note, i obtained a life sized St. Patties day edition, self standing, cardboard cutout of one of the "Bud Girls" a few years back... i was working on construction of a new powerhouse at the time, and smuggled her into my blueprint/crew shack....
she stopped many a guy in their tracks when they pushed open the plywood door...

the site superintendant picked his jaw off the floor the first time that he came through and proclaimed that she looked just like his next ex wife!!!

Alaska Amber fresh from the keg, and Alaska Smoked Porter washing down smoked salmon done with same alder wood used to smoke the malt for the beer get my vote as the best American beer.

Have you had Alaskan Pale and/or IPA? If I ever see them I'm trying them for sure.
