Beer thread!

Favorite: Yuengling Lager

Lately, I've been on Beck's kick.
I usually like German, Canadian & Mexican beers as well as domestic microbrews

Our most popular local microbrewery, Schlafly makes a good Hefeweizen. Another local microbrew, O'Fallons has a couple decent beers too. I got to try Yazoo (a Nashville microbrew) which was pretty good last time I was in TN. Blue Moon was my beer of choice at the Coors brewery.

So far, I've got to tour the Coors brewery in Golden, CO, Schlafly brewery in St. Louis, Boulevard brewery in KC, MO, Trailhead in St. Charles, MO and of course the (shitty) Anheuser Bush brewery here in St. Louis

I don't care for Porters, Stouts or any dark beers really. And I never got into the unique flavors like coffee, Pumpkin, Oyster?, etc.

My favorites are Harpoon IPA, Brooklyn lager,and dales pale ale. The local in nantucket brewery Cisco Brewery makes really good beer but expensive so I don't drink it to much.

When I was in Boston I took the train out to the Sam Adams brewery.

It was awesome. Can't be FREE TOUR & FREE BEER!

:humble:

This is my last year in New England, I have to put the Sam Adams brewery tour on my list of things to do before I leave.

Well I kinda grew up on the Hefewiezen and a slice of lemon and BANG! I like it.
So many beers here in Portland and so little time!

Lol, fair enough, to each his own. The SN hefe ("Kellerweis") is really incredible. I could drink a case of it.

I second the Dogfish. The 60 minute is my go-to.

I'm also a big fan of anything Troegs makes. Especially their Perpetual IPA, and the Nugget Nectar.

cool thread :cheers:

Thanks!
Dogfish has some good stuff. The 120 min IPA is serious business.

I am fond of Newcastle personally. But I like to change it up quite a bit. I am drinking Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA right now, but like Stella, Widmer Hefe, Sam Adams Summer Ale, etc.

If I am drinking cheap I actually prefer Rolling Rock or Tecate with Lime.

I had the opportunity late last year to visit Hangar 24 in Redlands, CA and since then I won't drink anything else but Double IPA.

Here's my visit, I filmed and edited this piece.

Thank goodness you all actually like craft beers. my roommates drink nothing but coors and bud and look at me sideways when I bring home growlers from our local brewery.
CO has more microbreweries per capita than any other state in the country :usa2:

I'm surprised with all the good brews across CO you are the only resident (unless I missed someone, sorry...) that mentioned our broad selection of awesome beers.

My favorite beers tend to be dark bodied chocolate or coffee stouts, but as you can see, if it's beer, I'll drink it. Anyways, here are a few of my favorites from CO:

Golden City Brewery - "Handcrafted at the 2nd Largest Brewery in Golden" I always lol at the cheekiness.
- Clear Creek Pale Ale - not listed
- Mad Molly's Brown Ale - not lsited
- Lookout Stout - not listed

Odell Brewing Co - Widely distributed, and normally my go-to whenI don't feel like trying something new.
- Cutthroat Porter - 5.1% Alc. by Vol. 43 IBUs
- 90 Shilling Ale - 5.3% Alc. By Vol. 27 IBUs

Trinity - Used to live close to here, plus they host guest beers from all sorts local brewers.
- Saison Man - 4.9 % ABV. Available year round on draught.
- Farmhouse Saison - 3.0%-12.5% ABV; extremely rare draught availability by batch.
- Slap Your Mammy - 10.5% ABV. Available year round on draught.

TRVE - Metal Music & Dark beer. Also, if you go to the bar look at the back wall with the amazing customer drawn artwork; some of those people have real talent.
- Black Cascade - 6.6% ABV
- Stout O))) - 6.8% ABV

Dry Dock Brewing - Actually, I've never been to the brewery yet... but distributed all over CO.
- Dry Dock Apricot Blonde - 5.1% ABV, 17 IBU <--- Amazing after mowing the lawn
- Hop Abomination - 6.5% ABV, 70 IBU

I'm surprised with all the good brews across CO you are the only resident (unless I missed someone, sorry...) that mentioned our broad selection of awesome beers.

When I was in college my roommates and I would make a point of buying a new sixer each week that we had never tried. Cut out the side of the containers and tack em to the wall in our living room. By the time we moved out we had filled an entire wall, and it was sort of impressive to realize just how much money we were spending JUST on craft beers, to say nothing of the stuff we stocked for parties.

I would highly recommend:

Grand Lake Brewing

Upslope Brewing

Left Hand Brewing

Crazy Mountain Brewery

Bonfire Brewing

This one isnt local, but I cant wait to try one; when I gather the courage to spend $62 for a BOTTLE of the world's strongest beer:

Tactical Nuclear Penguin

 

[Viper45]

Actually have mix of Upslope in the fridge now, and I've been ordering the Left Hand Milk Stout the last few times the Mrs and I have gone out for dinner.

Haven't tried any of the others though, will definitely put it on the to buy list. That TNP looks ridiculous!
