What's your favorite Beer?

[Hippobatman]

My favourite's a local Norwegian beer, E. C. Dahls Pilsner.

Carlsberg, Heineken and Budweiser is alright too.

None, beer is nasty! However give me a good Patron margarita and I'm a happy camper

Oh, man, my girlfriend used to sound like you. Perhaps not quite on the Patron margarita end (why would you waste fantastic tequila by mixing it? That is criminal!), but she was bot a fan of beer. I've actually gotten her to start trying different things out there now, and she's starting to enjoy it. My recommendation, if you'd be willing, would be to find a good Lambic. Most of them are a bit fruity (cherry, raspberry, peach) and sweet, and are more easily palatable for those who aren't fond of beer.

I don't drink beer, it tastes funny and it makes me sneeze.
I drink what most people my age would: Alcopops.
Not the best thing in the world but no alcohol is good.

HAHAHAHAHA!! Alcohol is good. Just wait until you grow up.

Pretty much any variety of Bell's beer. I am actually fortunate enough to live where it is made (Kalamazoo) and Bell's is about a mile from my house. Currently I'm enjoying the destructive powers of Hopslam which is 10% by volume. It's a really hoppy beer but I like it.

Man, I spent a year at Western, and everyone went absolutely apeshit when Oberon came out for the year. And yes, Bell's is a pretty delicious brewery.

I tend to like my local breweries, though, on the other side of the state. Atwater Block's Vanilla Java Porter is heavenly for a pint or two with dinner. Rochester Mill's Black IPA is amazing, and I'm not what you'd call a fan of IPAs in general. Although their IPA isn't overwhelming. The Brickshot ESB is also delicious, as is their Chocolate Milkshake Stout and Paint Creek Porter.

I also love going to Whole Foods Market, and just staring at their selection. They have St. Peter's Brewery Cream Stout, and I have to say that is pretty much amazing. Better, arguably, than even Guinness. Yum. There's another liquor store in the area, and they've got a bigger selection, but I'm pretty much a paralyzed, drooling wreck when I try and decide in that store.

In general, I'm definitely a fan of darker beers such as porters and stouts. As far as ciders I've had, Strongbow and K, I'd have to say they're pretty much chick drinks.They're ok, I suppose, but I'll take a pass.

I honestly tend to like the thicker beers. Oberon is just ok. I'm not like all fucking gaga over it though. I'm actually from the other side of the state as well, but right near Toledo actually. Not alot of memorable stuff down there but it is Toledo (which sucks).

Absolute favourites are Harpoon UFO (a Hefeweissen from Boston, MA) and Magic Hat #9, from Vermont. In the summer, Magic Hat's Blackbeary Wheat (no typo) or Kirin Ichiban.

sigh... spirits are for women (coz then rohypnol isn't as noticable XD)
I'd also like to note that wine is for women as it is named after the noise they make.

beer... hmmmm, Corona is lovely but I'm going to go for Harveys (coz its local 4 me and epic)

also can go for Leffe, san miguel and (strangely) Fosters.

Oberon is pretty good for the lighter side of beer. I do enjoy a good wheat beer. Usually go with a wedge of lemon instead of a slice of orange, though. I'll take either, since they're both delicious.

Also, if you're from Ohio, my condolences.

Weak. Why bother adding anything when tequila makes their clothes fall off? I'm told this is a song, but I'm talking from experience. Get a bottle of good tequila and a female friend, and proceed to go shot for shot with her. It's fun, and illegal drug free!

[Dessembrae]

Hmmm that is a difficult one...I've had some really good local and/or less known beers.
but i suppose i never turn down a nice pint of Guinness ^^

EDIT: I should mention that the greatest alcoholic beverage there is would have to be mulled wine, however. It's quite strong (concentrated with the mulling process) and tastes awesome. A family friend actually does mulled cider every year too, at Christmas, he uses lots of cider and red wine and adds pretty much every alcohol he can get his hands on, including whisky. A lot of it. The result needs to be seen (and tasted) to believe it .

Actually the process of mulling wine only means that you add spices (and sometimes honey) to red wine(usually)then heat it to around 70C(alcohol boils at about 78C) and then serve.
the only time the alcohol content rises is when you add various spirits (like Rum, vodka etc) witch is by no means required.

Meh, it's ok. Not great.

 

[Taniquel]

Firestone Double Barrel Ale - A darker ale that has a ton of flavor without being too heavy.
Murphy's Stout - More Irish than Guiness!

Its not for everyone

I saw the brewery when my class was out in southern California for a food and wine trip and it was awesome. They guy there said himself that 2 out of 3 people don't like this beer.

Guinness. The worst days all slip away with a good Guinness.

True until you go to Ireland and realise they are keeping the 'real' Guinness to themselves, that stuff really is the best drink there is. The stuff they ship to the UK is the low grade and after I'd tasted the original and best I couldn't bring myself to drink the crap they sell over here.

Spirits > Beer anyway. Give me a whiskey or rum please xD

About the Guinness, at least Guinness actually makes your Guinness. In the US it's made at the Anhauser Busch Plant where they make Bud Light and fizzy yellow wussy beers. Damn Co-Ops. But your right about one thing...I'll take Jamesons over Guinness anyday

The Irish really do know how to make a good drink

The Becks experience

 

[JokerGrin]

Hobgoblin. Wonderful stuff made by Wychwood Breweries, literally 10 minutes away from me.

My favourite more well-known beer would be Newcastle Brown. Scrumptious.
