The best beer!

[banned username 2]

Hey HU-16,

I need to borrow your avatar, a metal spit and 50 lbs. of charcoal... I'll buy the beer!

 

[English]

Someone mentioned the beers of the world tour at Disney's Epcot Center...that night last year is how I'm married today...

 

[HU-16]

I should have known someone would bar-b-que a flying pig. They used to be a protected species, like a unicorn. I have one of those stuffed in my living room.

And after careful thought, I must add Summit Pale Ale from St. Paul, MN. I haven't had one in awhile................now I'm drooling like Homer!!

Great thread...My top 10...
1. Guinness...there's a pub down the street from me (owned by 2 Dubliners) that actually gets theirs from Ireland as opposed to Canada. After going to Dublin and the brewery 3 years ago the difference is very noticeable.
2. Old Speckled Hen...English Ale
3. Pilsner Urquel...Best Pilsner around
4. Yuengling Lager...makes Iron City taste like piss
5. Boddingtons
6. Brother Adam's Bragget Honey Ale (Bar Harbor, Me.)
7. Grolsch Amber
8. Orval Trapiste (Belgium...$7 a bottle )
9. Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome Ale
10. Michelob Light (can't go wrong on a hot SC summer day)

Cheers

Good Grief Paladin, you're from Furman - doesn't everybody there drink Zima? Go Gamecocks!

46 Driver:

It was a tie between Krusovice and Budvar for 2nd behind Pilsner Urquell. Staropramen was piss. Have to agree about the girls, gorgeous.

For once in my life I am rendered speechless ...well maybe not.

A very small and select group of us Furmanites achieved enlightenment one day when we realized that by remaining slightly inebriated we created the false sense that our time at the Furman Insane Asylum was somehow shortened...not to mention the fact that it made the Bob Jones girls down the road actually look half-way attractive. In the end, though, we realized that this state of intoxication was just like women; the cause of, and solution too, all of life's problems.

Cheers

Palidin mentioned Grolsch, I think that was the first time mentioned. Grolsch is pretty good...so good in fact, when I leave it in my Miller Lite drinking friend's fridge...it's always there when I come back to visit.

Grolsch is best drinken in the fall, while wearing Dutch BDU slacks, TEVA's, ray bans and your best skydiver sweatshirt, while downing a freash burger and fries on the deck of a tavern next to a marina on the lake.

Harps and ST. Palsy Girl can be had while wearing anything/anywhere, so long as the pint glass is frosted.

#1 Konig Pilsner, but the stuff brewed for domestic German consumption, not the import stuff you get here.

Widely available, Pilsner Urquell, Harp, Corona the usual suspects.

 

[prodigal]

The best beer...

Ales are always preferable to lagers.
Skol!

My good man, I am compelled to disagree. Nothing like the crisp sharp taste of good seven-minute German pilsner or lager(served there of course-German imports are brewed slightly different than those for their domestic consumption).
Prosit!

 

[prodigal]

Third, Any other German beer except Parkbräu. It's foul.

I see you've never had Gottinger Edelpils, otherwise know as Gottinger Ekelpiss.
Ah, the memories.

OK, so there's this Irishman . . .

who moves to Boston. Of course, the first order of business is to find a good pub to frequent.
He sits down at the bar and orders 6 pints of Guiness to be served all at once. Paddy takes his time and drinks all 6 pints, thanks the bartender and and leaves. Paddy likes the place so he becomes a regular and every night orders the same 6 pints of Guiness, served all at once.
Finally one night, his curiosity overcoming him, the bartender asks, "Paddy, why do you always order 6 pints of Guiness, served up at the same time?"
"Well, you see," replies the misty-eyed Irishman, "me brother is still on the old sod and we miss each other very much. So every time we each drink a pint, we drink one in memory of the other. So 3 for me, and 3 for me brother in Ireland."
The bartender, now enlightened comes to like Paddy quite a lot. So one night Paddy comes in and orders only 3 pints of Guiness, to which the bartender says "oh Paddy, I'm very sorry about your brother!"
Paddy replies: "No, me brother's fine. It's me, you see, I've quit drinking."

The AAFES bowling alley on Coleman always had Parkbräu, but the snackbar had Stuttgarter Hofbräu. The local beer was Eichbaum. Go figure.

Army Private in Germany Bier Math: Dumpsterdive around post until you have 4 cases of empties, exchange for one full case with no cash required.

 

[dash8driver]

in no particular order:

pilsner urquell (best in country of course and great at the
brewery in plzen)

velvet (also from czech)
budvar (czech too)
augustiner edelstoff (yummy treat from munich)
guinness
redhook ESB, blackhook, and i think they made a double black stout at one time but i always had a hard time finding it and i'm not sure of the name but it was also tasty.

stuff that hugh jorgan brews once he starts putting hops in it. hahaha

*run and take cover*

 

[Mongolikecandy]

Mmmmmmm. Stella Artois!!
(insert Homer Simpson drooling sound here"

 

[low-key]

yuns guys know....... IC LIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pittsburgh Rocks!

It's actually "Negra Modelo", which doesn't seem to follow the rules of Spanish, but that's the name. I like Modelo Especial, too. Anyone remember Corona Barril (I think that was the spelling). It was in a stubby brown bottle that was really difficult to break (not that I ever tried).
I still like Sierra Nevada, especially if you can get it in a bar in Chico (where the scenery is excellent). Also, good ole Rye Hook was good, and Winterhook. For German beer, I like St. Georgen Brau Keller Bier. I guess Keller Bier is a Bavarian specialty, but it is good. One you either love or hate is the Rauch Bier from Bamberg (Smoke beer). They smoke the hops, and it tastes like bacon.

It's actually "Negra Modelo", which doesn't seem to follow the rules of Spanish, but that's the name.

I was thinking that they changed the adjective so they could market it in the US without a backlash. You know how the old product translation urban legends go. Chevy Nova is a classic example.

After putting some more thought into it, Modelo is the name of the brewer, but Negra is an adjective for the product--la cerveza. Therefore negra is proper.

I have to admit, I never thought this much about it when I had one in my hand.

no Dead Guy??

Whaaat???? No votes for Rogue's Dead Guy Ale? Cool name and a helluva good beer! Anything by Rogue is good stuff.

I'll second the vote for Redhook's Double Black stout... old bottles had the label "Brewed with Starbucks coffee"... yummy stuff. When ya can't find the Double Black their Blackhook Porter is a great brew.

I tried Arrogant Bastard Ale, and the label on the bottle was right. I didn't like it, waaay too hoppy for me.

 

[jetexas]

Shiner Bock, Newcastle or the occasional ESB.
