Your Favorite Beer?

Many have already expressed their personal feeling about JB's new Landshark Lager, so I won't start that debate again....

But I am curious, what beer do BNers favor on a regular basis???

My first preference is Bass ale on draft, but for bottled beer I like Smithwick's ale by Guiness......

Yuengling Lager
prefereably right out of the can

I tend to drink Microbrews, Sam Adams, Guiness, Canadian beers, Bass, Newcastle, and amny others. I don't care for Coors, Bud (or any of the other American standards) or Heineken.
In the summer I do enjoy Corona.
Beer is like food as I like a variety of beers. Normally in my fridge is Sam Adams or Long Trail, and then a seasonal.

Yuengling's good when I can get it (Not available here in CT.) Two beers I tried this weekend at a booze show was "Wattle Seed" and "Opa Opa" Opa had a couple of brews that were good, and the Wattle was down right amazing. As both are new to the market I doubt I'll see them any time soon or too often, so I'll stick with the rotating seasonals at my local bar as well as any good IPA. (Partial to the Brooklyn right now. As for home? That's easy. 30 pack of Bud cans.

Hubby & I aren't beer drinkers, but our PHC friends seem to favor Bud Light.

I tend to drink microbeers too. I usually drink Sam Adams, Harpoon, Smuttynose.

I also will drink a Guinness and Smithwicks.

LesPhoto's homemade brew is quality stuff...but since it's there, I'm here...

I like just about any IPA, but Harpoon seems to be what I am drinking the most.

I'm a beer snob and prefer microbrews. My cousin has been making his own beer for years and has perfected his brews! YUM! My hubby prefers lighter beers like Gordon Biersch.

I like Mic Ultra or Bud Light. yeah-- not really into the "taste" part of beer. liquor is just a faster way to take in alcohol and I'll drink pretty much whatever.

I do like red wine with a good dinner and I have my standards there.

Sammy Smith is up there . . . .

but Sam Adams Boston Lager is my beer of choice most nights.

Yes, I am a homer.

We drink a lot of Bell's- I've yet to meet one I didn't like, right now the Winter White is out. We also drink a lot of Dogfish Head- I love the Midas Touch.

Right now we have Yeungling (smuggled back from PA this summer), Bell's Winter White, Spaten Octoberfest, some kind of mediocre Pumpkin Ale (which I think I'm allergic to), Dogfish Head Raisen D'Etra.

Tom is planning on brewing this weekend too.

Do NOT like any 'lite' beers, no Bud, no MGD or the like. Only Microbrew type beers.

Yes, I'm a snob, and like good tasting beer.

Cold. Preferably free.

I'm getting a pretty good idea as to why Landshark Lager doesn't appeal to this group!!!!!

Sam Adams, various microbrews, all good choices. And, if I want a lager, Yuengling is a nice one. Being brewed right here in Pennsylvania, I can usually get it good and fresh.....

Any others????

New Glarus Brewing....

Spotted Cow

Cask conditioned ale has been the popular choice among brews since long before prohibition. We continue this pioneer spirit with our Wisconsin farmhouse ale. Brewed with flaked barley and the finest Wisconsin malts. We even give a nod to our famrners with a little hint of corn.

Naturally cloudy we allow the yeast to remain in the bottle to enhance fullness of flavors, which can not be dulpicated otherwise.

Expect this ale to be fun, fruity and satisfying. You know you're in Wisconsin whe you see the Spotted Cow.

Goose Island Bourbon County Stout (at $19.99 for a 4 pack, this beer packs more of a punch than most hard liquors.)

SchoolGirlHeart · Post by **SchoolGirlHeart** » January 23, 2008 10:25 pm

Sam Adams, Sam Seasonal, Shipyard, Key West Sunset Ale, Kona Brewing Company's Longboard Lager, Killians, the occasional Blue Moon, Corona, Yuengling.

I waaaay prefer draft beer. Bottles second. Cans only when there is no other option....

I like to try local microbrews when I visit somewhere.
