yes, i like beer once in a while. tonight, i had Saltaire Brewery’s New World Red


Saltaire do a decent bottled ale called Cascade Pale Ale (4.9%). I buy it if I can find it cheap.

Also, if you like chocolate beers - a lot - one could recommend Triple Chocoholic (4.8%). I've had it and to be honest my personal opinion is that it's really a beer that's so cloying that unless you really love chocolatey beers you won't want more than half the 500ml serving. The RateBeer mob seem to like it though.

Oh, and last night I had a pint of Theakston's Dark (3.5%); two pints of Theakston's Lightfoot (4.1%) and a pint of Theakston's Best Bitter (3.8%).

I'd drink one now if I had it.
I don't like the weird flavored beers,had a pumpkin ale once,nasty.And those sweet beers like Optimator or terminator,or whatever they are called.And cream stout is also not to my taste.The new beer I like is Boulevard's IPA Single Wide,six varieties of hops.
Tried Diamond Bear's Southern Blonde lager,flat,slightly sweet and unimpressive.
Budweiser's Black Crown golden amber lager with Carmel malt,ok but left a weird aftertaste in my mouth.6%.
My son likes Corona but it seems bland and flat to me,I'd rather have a Budweiser.

Usually I have 2-3 on a daily basis...

For guzzling, I do Pabst Blue Ribbon and Miller High Life...

When I'm drinking good beer, I do Boulevard Pale Ale, Single Wide IPA, and Zon...

Zon is a summer only Witbier spiced with coriander and orange peel. It is the most delicious beer in the universe! :D

I also really enjoyed Shiner 102 double hefeweizen. It was great with barbecue this summer. At 6.2 ABV it will sneak up and mug you if you are not careful... :twisted:

Too bad it was a one year limited edition brew. It will be missed. :cry:

Guinness Extra Stout, please.

If it isn't black, it isn't beer.

I've only had twice in my life. Once on my twenty-first birthday, and the other for a friend's wedding that I was invited to.

I've had that. It's not an offensive beer (a lot of the mass-produced UK lagers fall into this trap of being unpleasant) but it's almost entirely tasteless.

Guinness Foreign Extra Stout (Nigeria) is better. :)

Half of the taste of Corona is the slice of lime in it.

Yeah, American macro-brews tend to be as bland as possible on purpose (pretty much the same with all American food--makers want mass appeal, not quality).

PBR is better than most, but if you've had "good" beer before, you can tell the difference for sure.


PS

I also like Diamond Bear Pale Ale and IPA--two local brews that are nice and hoppy.

For a nice dark beer, BULLY! Porter from Boulevard (Kansas City) is good. It has a nice thick bitter coffee/chocolate vibe.

I guess I like most stuff from Diamond Bear and Boulevard... Shiner is not bad for macro-beer.

I actually never, ever have tried drinking beer. Wine, on the other hand...

I'm a stereotypical woman I do not like the taste of beer. Too damn bitter! Coffee's the same way. I'll eat plenty of bitter things, but beer is not one of them. I will sometimes drink wine, however.

My family is full of addictive personalities- therefore, I usually avoid imbuing more than one serving of alcohol.
