Beer Lovers

Last week I discovered some great beer thanks 2 my brother-in-law called Flying Dog.  We got the "Snake Dog".  It is brewed in the good ole USA.  I love their company's slogan:  "Good people drink good beer."

  It is a funny name but it is some good, strong beer.

I am lucky to live in a place where craft brewing is very popular.  I spend most of my booze cash on trying new micros.

As far as my palate has developed, I'm keen on IPAs.  They're my favorite.  The best IPA that I have tried is a double called Heady Topper.  You can only find it in VT and a select few stores in surrounding states.  Their brewery in Waterbury literally went under water so production has been delayed some.  Anyway, it's a brew that I would highly recommend to anybody who's a fan of strong IPAs.

I also delight in drinking beer from Stone out in California, as well as offerings from Unibroue in Canada.

I don't care for IPAs but I love Stouts and GOOD Bocks. I'm a Guinness guy n general but I like Dead Guy Chocolate Stout every now and then. Just one or two of them. Thay have a GREAT logo.

Trivial Persut question, Which country consumes the most beer in the world?  Answer - USA (I thought it was Germany)  The variety of beers in the US is awesome...

I'm sure you mean "lager", Doug.   
I like SA's Blackberry, as well. That and their Cherry Wheat are delicious.


Speaking of Yuengling, we don't get that in this part the midwest. I grew up on the east coast, so I remember it well. A coworker of mine found out about my trip to VA/NC next month, and asked me to get him a couple of cases. One heck of a beer run!

I discovered Yuengling a few years ago and like it very much....the wife likes their Black 'n' Tan.

Oops! Yes, I meant lager. I'd love to blame it on an auto-correct mistake but it was pure human error.

That's on my beers to try list.

I live in Pennsylvania and Yuengling is everywhere. I don't care for the Lager... gives me brutal headaches. I like the black and tan and they have a nice porter.

Abita Amber from New Orleans is quite good - very mellow and easy to enjoy far too many.

Aloha to all you beer drinkers,
Now living back in northern CA, I can enjoy Anchor Steam, brewed in San Francisco(especially good on tap), but got to liking Long Board lager while living on Maui for 3 years.
Also was in the pizza restaurant business both in CA and Oregon...opened one of my restaurants down the street from Deschutes Brewery in Bend, OR. I suggest you try some of their beers which you will find in major market chains. And last, out of Portland, OR, is the Widmer brews, I like the Hefevizen with a lemon wedge. As they say, most beers are good, some better than others, and like coffees, depends on your individual taste buds.

Ah yessssssss... I tried Ambita Amber with Paulie a couple years back while I was in Louisiana. Good stuff!!!

It is good, and all the Abita brews are good, Turbodog is outstanding.  But, as much as I wish they were from New Orleans, like our old Dixie--before the "bad batch"--they're really located across Lake Pontchartrain in Abita Springs and they use the spring water for their brewing.  We have another really New Orleans brew now, NOLA--and it's gaining a good audience for its great products too.  We have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to great food and drink in South Louisiana.
