[keg in kc]

Drinking Boulevard Wheat right now.

I really like a good Guinness, as well as black and tans with Guinness and either Bass or Harp (sometimes called a half-and-half if w/ Harp).

And I'm open to trying about anything, especially european brews, although mainstream domestic beer (lovingly referred to as 'horse piss') doesn't do much for me.

Actually, Budweiser was started in Czechoslovakia, where they still brew and distribute it. In fact, there was a decades long lawsuit between the two rival "Budweisers." If you were drinking Bud in Europe, it was probably the Czech version.

Personally, I've had both. They both suck. I'd rather drink a light beer than Bud.

If you were drinking Bud in Europe, it was probably the Czech version.It was not, unless they advertised with the same logos and came in identical cans. This was American beer, and as I recall, advertised as such. It looked exactly like what I'd have gotten in a bar back in Virginia.

(although a friend who tried it said it tasted differently - we postulated that was because they don't have the same laws regarding pasteurization and preservatives - everything tasted different there. i.e. a Grolsch I had over there didn't taste like a Grolsch here)

Very true. I sat in Holland, drinking Heineken from the tap, and swore it was the best beer I'd ever tasted. Got back to the states and it WAS NOT the same beer at all...

[keg in kc]

I found that to be the case as well. Beer over there tasted much better.

Blvd Wheat

The occasional Bud Ice if I am doing the house party thing.

Really? A girl last week gave me a 6 of it and I wasn't a fan at all. Actually went back to drinking PBR that night instead of the Select.

[Idahojim]

Black Butte Porter. If you like dark beer you haven't lived until you've tried it.

[KCChiefsMan]

I mostly drink Miller Lite. I figure that if I drink 10-15 beers a night when I drink, it should be low carb. Also I just like it, I'm not much into dark beers at all. Every once in a while I get the urge for Tecate or Corona's.

[Spicy McHaggis]

You should try Modelo Especial. I prefer it to Corona and Tecate.

[Mr. Kotter]

In now particular order, I like Guinness, Blvd--Pale Ale and Bully Porter, Bass, FatTire, Harp, Sam Adams, Sierra Nevada, Red Hook, and Leinenkugel Red.

I'll settle for Amberbock, Killian's, or Michaloeb.

Course, what will I drink? A lot of others.

Not much of a beer drinker, but Rolling Rock is pretty good.

If you're digging Rolling Rock, it's no wonder you're not much of a beer drinker. Drink something tasty sometime.

Where did you live?
I lived at Soesterberg AB, Holland (which was called "Camp New Amsterdam" back then). From there, I moved to Woensdrecht AB, Holland, which was a base they were in the process of building. They ended up bussing all of us to an international school in Ekeren, Belgium. They ended up stopping construction and turned the property over to the Dutch once the INF treaty was signed. From there, we moved to Ramstein AB, Germany. Came back to the States, enlisted, and then spent the next 5 years in Japan.

I love being an American abroad.

How did you like Japan? Was it outrageously expensive? Did you learn the language while you were there? Did you at any point eat live octopus dipped in hot sauce?

[TheNextStep]

Japan was cool, but so was every place I've been. If you get out and see it, appreciate it, and try to understand it, you'll be fine anywhere.

Yes, Japan was outrageously expensive. This is back in '96, so I imagine it's even moreso now... but I remember that if you walked into a bar and ordered their cheapest beer, you were still paying at least 6 bucks (at the 1996 exchange rate). The only things that weren't expensive, believe it or not, were used cars (dirt cheap), International House of Pancakes (don't tell Darryl Gardner), and sitting in the outfield grass at Seibu Lions Stadium (my favorite Japanese baseball team).

I didn't eat any live octopus, but I have eaten octopus. I ate lots of stuff that I had little to no idea what the hell it was. The only time I almost puked was when I was sitting at a very expensive, very traditional Japanese restaurant in Kyoto and they brought out this dish that was basically some kind of fish, cut in half, and served cold. I was always like, "hell, I'll try it" but I bit into that thing and I could hear and feel the bones snapping... man, I really did almost vomit it all back up. I finished that bite and decided to wait for the next course...

I tell you, though... it ruined sushi for me. If you eat sushi in Japan for 5 years and then you're planted in Omaha, you don't trust a damned thing! I've had good sushi in Portland and Las Vegas... but I'm too chicken to even try it here in the midwest.

You need to transition; start with some darker or red ales.

Then move on to "black and tans".

Then try a couple of Guiness. Go easy at first: 2-3, then switch to somethin' lighter. Eventually, you'll be drinkin' it the whole night...unless you just decide you want some variety.

Actually, I like pretty much any stout/porter. I don't like pale ales. I live by the rule "If I can see through it , I don't want to drink it". It works pretty good for a guy like me who doesn't know much about beer.

All my friends drink Bud Light, and I laugh at them.

Drinking a bully porter right now, good stuff. Plus got some Fat Tire on reserve. Ribs roasting on the grill. Today is a good day.

Woohooooo

I have never tried Bass, don't even know where I could get it.

I have never tried Bass :eek:


Blasphemy!


Let me drink another 8 or 10, and I'll probably say "Bassphemy!" And think it's funny.

I'm on my first beer and I think it's funny.

Is it a local brew or what?

I love Blvd Wheat, its my fav along with Blue Moon I was just suprised it got put under the "you cant see trhough it category"

I actually like Blue Moon better than Blvd Wheat. They have perfected that finish.

[Iowanian]

Screw you beer snobs.

I'm having a Busch Light, and its good to me.

I used to not like beer. Chiefsplanet changed that. My favorites:

Guinness
Boulevard Bully porter
Boulveard wheat

It's pretty cool that you've migrated towards decent brew. I knew you didn't like beer cuz you'd been drinking shit.

FWIW, Boulevard is a decent micro. They do okay. But, they aren't a premium micro as far as I'm concerned. There's a LOT better beers out there in the flavors they offer. I drink as much of the stuff as the next guy, but only if there's nothing better available. You want a better Porter than Bully, try 1554 from New Belgium. The label says it's an ale, but it's actually a Porter. They call it an Ale to loophole some BS Texas law.

As long as it's good to you, that's all that matters.

[Iowanian]

I really can't stomoch most of the "good beer". Matter of fact, I hate the Dark Beers I've tried including Guiness. I must have a really sensative taste to anything Bitter. Its like drinking Bile. I also think that Corono tastes similar to what it might be like to drink a cup full of assholes.

I do like an occasional Amberbach or something like that....but thats as adventurous as I usually get.

Bud Light is my go-to.

Thats neat. I'll try that out.

I go with Boulevard stuff around here cause its usually on tap at the bars I go to, and its my only choice between Bud, Miller, or Coors. I've tried just about everything in the Boulevard line, and the only ones I like are the Wheat and the Bully.

I also like Blue Moon, but I can't get it on tap here. Its on tap everywhere in Wichita, it seems.

Its all about what you like. I don't drink beer to get drunk. I like to drink a beer or two with a meal, but thats about it. After I drink one or two Guinesses, i'm FULL.

[keg in kc]

As long as it's good to you, that's all that matters.Yeah. Beer's a matter of taste, there's no right and wrong to it.

And Bass is a pale ale from the UK. It's not a speciality beer or anything rare, I've been able to buy it everywhere I've ever been. You should be able to find it in a liquor store if you can't find it in a grocery.

I usually mix it with Guinness or (like tonight) Guinness extra stout - black and tan.

[keg in kc]

More Bass info:The ancestry of Bass Ale can be traced back to 1002 AD, when monks at the Benedictine Abbey at Burton on Trent first started to brew beer for the refreshment of their visitors. 1777 ambitious William Bass bought his own brewery, and brewed his first pint of ale with finest ingredients-aromatic English hops, the best malt, and the pure mineral-enriched water that is unique to Burton. The famous ale was liked by so many famous people in history include Napoleon III. Bass Pale Ale is the world's oldest registered trademark the famous and distinctive red triangle originally a shipping mark.

Guiness is an aquired taste. I haven't yet acquired it. I have to cut it down with some Bass or Harp.

Corona is the Mexican equivelent of Milwaukee's Best. It's crap.

The reason you don't like quality beer is because they don't really sell much of it in Iowa. You have to seek out a quality brew there. Leinenkeugals is even worse than Blvd.

thanks i shall try to find it

[Saulbadguy]

I mix Guiness with Blue Moon.

[keg in kc]

Guiness is an aquired taste.That's definitely true. I think it also has to do with why you're drinking - i.e. if I'm drinking to get sloppy, I'm more likely to go with Bud or something light, whereas Guinness or other darks are my sit at home and drink to relax beers. Kind of a different buzz to them, too, at least for me.

Is it a bad sign that I can associate different buzzes with different beers? :hmmm:

It's by far the best stuff ever done by one of the big 3 brewers.

I'm generally like you in that I don't care for most dark beers. If you're feeling adventurous, try Shiner Bock. It isn't the beer snobbiest of beers but the "Bock" is misleading. It is darker than a lot of beers, but it doesn't taste bitter and doesn't make you feel like you just ate a meal.

Word of warning though: Don't let it get warm on you. Tastes terrible when it warms - moreso than most beers.

Not a chance in hell of him finding Shiner in Iowa.

[Skip Towne]

I don't drink beer for the taste. If not for the alcohol, I wouldn't drink it.

Where in Iowa? I can get it cheaper in Omaha than I could in College Station!

I've polished off a 6 of Guinness this evening. I'm headed for the Harps next..........look out

Anywhere, in my humble, experienced opinion. The only beer that doesn't taste like skunk piss that is widely distributed in Iowa is Leinenkeugal.

[Spicy McHaggis]

Friends and I just about finished our keg of Free State Stout tonight. Muy bueno to quote the Irish. Or something along those lines.

Shiner is a "Texan" beer if I'm not mistaken. German immigrants started it there or something.

[Phobia]

Shiner is a "Texan" beer if I'm not mistaken. German immigrants started it there or something.

Kosmos Spoetzl was born, grew up, and earned his Brewmasters degree in Germany. After years of working at various breweries in Europe and Canada, he moved to the United States and, in 1915, bought “The Little Brewery in Shiner.” Not a whole lot ever changes in Shiner and that’s the way we like it. To this day, we still use Kosmos’ original recipes and painstakingly handcraft each brew one at a time making sure that every beer is naturally aged before it leaves the Brewery.

Even our Brewmaster and General Manager, John Hybner, hasn’t changed in nearly a quarter of a century. In fact, we still have less than fifty employees. But one thing that has changed is our willingness to share. There was a time when you could only get Shiner Beer in Texas. Now we distribute to 20 other states.

[TheNextStep]

Yep. For the longest time, you could only get it in Texas. A couple of years back they relaxed the laws and Shiner's expanded.

Good stuff and at $9.99 for a 12er, easily my favorite domestic.

I was actually asking "where in Iowa" because if Iowanian is somewhere around Council Bluffs, I'd be happy to swap a 12er of Shiner for a 12er of... something, I dunno.

Yes, only it was in a bottle. Thank you!!

I'm on a self imposed hiatus. It's been a good month and a half since I have had a beer. Lost a good 10lbs in the process too.
