Favorite beer

Well, it is beer flavored water...

The only large dist US beer I like is Sam Adams, I'll tolerate Amber Bock if there is absolutely nothing else. But we do have some amazing micro breweries in this country...

Beer/Ale wise, my go-to's would be a bitter like John Smith's Extra Smooth or a Guinness, purely because of price and availability. I do like to try lots of of the specialty beers though. My favourites are probably Newcastle Brown and Wildcat, though I like to try the 'flavoured' ales. I had a banana bread flavoured one the other day that was pretty interesting.

I quite like some of the European wheat-beers too. They're pretty hit'n'miss though. They're either very nice, or comparable to sewage water.

Lager wise, once again there's what I like best...and what I drink most. My favourite all-round lager, i.e. good for drinking whenever, would be Stella (not the gay-ass 4% crap though) or Carling.

I drink Red Stripe and Bud quite a lot as they're the cheapeast ones at the club I frequent. Not necessarily a massive fan of them though.

I like drinking Millers purely for the novelty of the screw-top thingy as we don't really get that over here in England...or Europe for that matter.

I like a nice stein of San Miguel when it's warm. On holiday last year I discovered a special reserve version, it went down AMAZING sat watching the sunset over the African coast with a cool breeze blowing through and a plate of Tony Roma's ribs sat in front of me. Anyway...

I quite like Fosters Twists, they're good a good starter or link-up beer for if you've been drinking something sweeter previously.

Cider-wise, I like the various flavours of Kopparberg, Magners, Bulmers, etc. Most of the mainstream ones really. Though the best ciders always have, and always will be from the smaller cider mills, often in the country.

Spirits... Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Smirnoff, Sailor Jerry's Rum, Baileys, Jaeger, etc. etc.

I'll pretty much drink anything, mixed with anything.... it's kinda my thing around here....

If anyone wants the recipe for a drink that tastes like sick (exactly), then contact me. Let's just say one of the ingredients is a weetabix.....

EPic's right about the San Miguel reserve it's the bees knees. Forgot about I had some last summer, get you some and you won't be disappointed. Try'd the fullers esb and now I like it. (yg) fullers is a d@mn good beer, adding it to my que of beers to buy, found another beer called tallgrass ale it was awe-some , it's dark ale with non ale taste, reminded me of guiness without the after bite. Thanks uncle for the fullers suggestion my taste buds and liver thanks you. Great list of beers for me to try , thanks guys. FYI blue moons alway good on a hot summers day

I picked up a new Shiner last weekend- Shiner 101. Another winner from the little brewery in Shiner Texas.

I've recently tried Redhook ESB, and it's great.

Haven't seen the 101 yet - used to drink the Bock and got a kick out of it being a German beer from Texas. What is the 101 like?

Used to love Rolling Rock - what happened to them? I think it was in Latrobe Brewery in Pennsylvania, but I haven't seen it around in quite a while. Last couple cases I had were skunky so I moved on.

Not as good as the Black, but still really good. I don't know how to describe it right now (may have to go hame and sample another for the write up). The Bohemian Black is the best by far. Awesome stuff. The only Shiner I don't care for is the unfiltered wheat one. Then again, I don't like any of the unfiltered wheats, and not to fond of wheat beer in general. Don't get me wrong, I'll drink the sh!t out of it, but it lower on my prefered list

I used to like Rolling Rock too for a "light" beer. Last time I had it, it wasn't so good either.

The lightest I can go is Stella or Modelo Especiale..., but I'll have to try that Bohemian Blac

Payday again today. I think I'll try some of the Fullers this go around.

Fullers is totally radicool , just don't share it with anybody due to $$$$, gonna try some new beers out tonight time to camping, nothing better then drinkn and camping i mean who doesn't like setting around a sentry gun , with a beer in one hand a your scar in the other

I did try the Fullers ESB this weekend- amazing! Maybe my favorite beer of all time now. Thanks Charles!

LOL had me going - I can't wait to get to the river and lake. Trying to convince Amanda to have our wedding at Tenkiller or the Illinois!

Just stopped by the beer store and got a six of fat tire and a 12 of rolling rock. Fat tire is a real food beer. Reminds me of terrapin rue pale ale.

I got the rolling rock for "grass cutting beer".

I'm not a huge drinker but I do like a good beer every once in a while. I was going to make a new post then thought don't we have one already.  
For me recently I tried shock top raspberry wheat. It's a really smooth beer. My typical favorites are Sam Adams summer, shock top (regular and raspberry), bloom moon, Sam cold snap, Sam winter.  I have been wanting to try Sam porch rocker, and blue moon summer honey wheat. 
I have a place near me that sells a pick 6 variety pack were you can pick any 6 bottles of whatever they happen to have loose,usaully a good selection. I'm going to go see if they have porch rocker or blue moon summer honey and buy some to try. It is a little bit more expenssive to do it that way but it's a great way to try different things. Anything new that you guys have been trying and liking?

Sam Adams Porch Rocker is REALLY good.  I just tried it earlier this summer and loved it.  I also like New Belgium's Fat Tire.  It's a really nice Amber Ale similar to the Sam Adams stuff.

Revolver Blood & Honey is one of the best beers I've ever had. I don't believe it's available outside of Texas yet.

Stella Artois, Dos Equis Lager, and Angry Orchard Crisp Apple Cider

JD Tennessee Honey.  Ooops! My bad 

Got to go with the Firemans Brew, all 3 variants.
