The Beer Thread

If the beer is dark enough that you can't see though it, then I probably like it. Most everything else might as well be water.

When I can, I have been trying out a few varieties of Irish Reds lately though.

It depends on the situation. If I want light beer that'll leave room for a big meal, then I go for Blue Moon with a slice of orange. It's light yet still smooth and not bitter. I hate bitter beer.

If I've already eaten and am not full or if I'm just snacking on bar food while watching a game or something, I'll go for the darkest, thickest beer the place has. If they have Guiness on tap, I'll do that (not in bottles nor cans as it just isn't the same). If they don't have that, I'll go for the darkest micro-brew they have. There is a micro-brew in Vegas where I live called Barley's that has an excellent dark stout. It's as dark as Guiness with a nice thick foamy head yet it doesn't have the same "burnt toast" kick to it that Guiness has. It tastes more like home-made dinner rolls and is nearly as filling.

I second that unless, like I said in an earlier post, I'm saving room for a big dinner. I love the very dark, thick stouts but they fill me up too much to have with a dinner.

If I were to end up in the U.S. on travels, hit me up with the ONE beer in your opinion I've gotta dial before I leave

Got to be Deuchars IPA for me. A delicious, crisp, refreshing ale.

Goldspur, a Lager brewed for The Hop In Brew in Calgary by Alleykatt Breweries. It tastes like a smooth pear cider with the full bodyness of a good beer. It got a fruity flavor but is never too sweet and it's the most brilliant beer I've ever had. That and Pumphouse's Blueberry Ale is also a great brew.

I can't say I've heard anything by the name of Sleemans. What country are you from? I'm from England but I can't say I've seen anything going by that name down South.

they are canadian, specifically from ontario. the funny part is the original owner's house is now a strip joint AND a historic site

for me it's sleeman honey brown or guiness, tho boddingtons and tennants is pretty good

Mmmmm... Sleeman's Honey Brown is my Go To Beer, when I'm not going to The Hop In Brew for the best beer in the world.

Also, Leff is REALLY good (German or French, not sure, only found it in Europe) I also had this incredible beer in Amsterdamme which I cannot remember for the life of me what it was called, it was either Dutch or German.

EDIT: It was called Hertog Jan, I just remembered.

Just got back from a large beer store here in Seattle. I picked up some Strongbows, and a few other beers I have never tried before. They have a lot of different beers from around the world, so if anyone has some recommendations please send them my way.
