Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Beers

We seem to run a scotch/whiskey thread every 6 weeks or so. Been awhile since we did a beer one.

Thought I'd fire one off in honor of it being Saturday.

Whatcha drinking lately and if you make your own - roll us the specs...

Lately I've been hitting the craft/micro section of Woodmans.

Been loving:

1554 from New Belgium. (Black Ale)
Abby from New Belgium. (Belgian dubbel 8.5% ABV)

Apple Ale from New Glarus - only sold in WI like all New Glarus beers. Basically once a year they brew something off the wall and there's no guarantee how much or if it will ever be offered again. I'm liking this one very much.

Duvel by Duvel. Bottle conditioned Belgian Ale. Pretty good. Like it quite a bit but at 8.5% ABV, you're not going to pound a case of it.


Breweries:

New Belgium
New Glarus
Duvel

I like beer a little more redneck than that I guess:

Miller High Life or MGD is my go to beer.

i love Double Dead Guy when i can find it. its like 13% ABV

also love Double IPA by Wild River Brewing here in town. the best beer i ever had, and they quit making it as soon as i discovered it.

I never could like the usual Bud/Miller/Coors stuff. But lately I've expanded more, tried more, read up on different beer styles and found things I like.

I can and do occasionally like a PBR or Schlitz (60's recipe) in a pounder. Hamm's is off the menu tho. I can't like that at all.

Marty -

If you can get your hands on some Dogfish Head IPA's - might like those. Their 90minute is great stuff.

How about a grain belt? I remember some years ago driving across WI and MN wondering what the hell a 'GB' was.

Dang - almost forgot the local stuff I've tried recently.

All of these are from Titletown Brewery .

Dark Helmut - prob my favorite of theirs. Black German Lager
Claymore Scottish Ale - #2 on my list of favorites.

Tried a sample of their Hopasaurus Rex. Liked it and will go full pint next time I'm there.

Duke, Michelob, Straub, Big City when I am at my friend Al Coholic's house.

Its "Premium"; says so on the bottle.....its really a sweeter, Miller High Life taste.


1960's Schlitz beer for me....

Been on a gray's brewing busted knuckle kick lately.

This is the famous Budweiser beer. We know of no brand produced by any other brewer which costs so much to brew and age. Our exclusive Beechwood Aging produces a taste, a smoothness, and a drinkability you will find in no other beer at any price. Brewed by our original all natural process using the choicest Hops, Rice and Best Barley Malt.

I do like a really cold Tecates as well.

i will drink Pabst too when i need a cold one to slam in the summer. it goes down fine when its hot. not so much when its cold out...

I'm a man of simple tastes, I taste 'em and simply decide if I'll buy 'nother.

There is bar/sandwhich shop in Corpus Christi that specializes in import beers. You fill out an index card with your name on it, and every type of beer you try gets recorded. I must have a couple-dozen entries, but pale in comparison to many, who have hundreds of entries.

Several walls of the place are adorned with photo's of patrons who have sampled all (or most) of 'em available - it takes months, if not years.

Long Hammer IPA
Sierra Nevada Celebration
Lagunitas IPA
Kokanee

Lots of good stuff up here. My current refreshments include Snoqualmie Falls Wildcat IPA, Maritime Pacific Imperial IPA and Jolly Roger winter brew, Boundary Bay IPA, Black Raven Trickster IPA, Rogue Brutal Bitter and Three Skulls Hop The Plank IPA.

As you can tell, I'm quite the hop-head. \r\nGoogle Login

Me too, on all accounts.

The beers from Rouge and Stone are both on my list to try as well.

Pabst is way better on tap.

DogFishHead 90 Minute IPA!!!!!

Watching the sanitation process (or lack thereof) involved in some tap beers made me a bottle-guy.
