Hey Beer Man!!!!! To my fellow brew drinkers...tell me what your favorites are...I need to find some new ones to try...I've tried many, but I know there are more out there!!!
I am currently feeling Spaten and Steinlager! The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them. -- Mark Twain.

New Castle is an all time favorite and Samuel Adams and Dos Equis Amber are always solid performers.
onward. I am a fan of the Dunkelweizen. Spaten (as you said) and Tucher both make a great Dunkelweizen. But a chunk of Orange in it for the ladies, they will love it. Have you ever tried Hoegaarden White? Also a good choice. If you ever come to the Atlanta area, come to Summits Wayside Tavern. Over 100 beers on tap. The place came straight from the heavens.

Also, have you ever tried Abita beer from New Orleans? Their entire line is solid. I especially like the TurboDog for a dark and flavorful beer. "I'm here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubblegum"

Oh yes! Hoegaarden white is a wonderful thing. I also rate Budvar Budweiser (the Czech thing, I think it's just called Budvar in the US - long story), Nastro Azzuro, Tiger and Cobra. Damn, I didn't want to drink 2nite! I even went to a bar to buy some records & P vids off a friend earlier & managed to just have a soft drink. U guys are testing my resolve!

i'm partial to Hefeweizen, and the best i ever had was in Salzburg, Austria - don't know if it's available anywhere else in Europe or just a local brew - the name was Edelweiss ... to die for, i tell ya! over here, i like Franziskaner Hefeweizen.
on the dark beer front, i love a good oatmeal stout (my husband makes a killer version!) | |

I've been trying to get you guys to teach me the ins and outs of beer drinking for months!!
In total ignorance, though, I know what I like... Heinekken is my standing favorite, and I'm diggin' Cider Jack and Woodchuck draft ciders. Hornsby's sucks. [This message was edited Tue Dec 2 12:31:11 PST 2003 by Lammastide] Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

YOU REALLY DO NEED HELP!!! Put the Cider Jack down. If you are going to drink that garbage have a Strongbow. And Heineken? There is a reason the work "Heine" is in the name. Because it tastes like an ass. 
It's all good though. We are here to help. For starters, go have a Bass, Harp, Boddingtons or New Castle. Those four could easilly get you interrested in better beer. Those were the first ones I tried and I havent stopped drinking New Castle since. "I'm here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubblegum"

I need to check out some of the org's collective recommendations!Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

of course it is all personal preference, so if you like a Heine, you are more than welcome to drink all you want! "I'm here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubblegum"

If you brewed a beer with no hops and then distilled it and aged it you'd get close to scotch. So to answer your question; no. Now I'm older than movies, Now I'm wiser than dreams, And I know who's there

Guiness & Boddington's in the winter months
Corona & Stellas in the summer. | |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
I dont know where to start.
Try Stella Artois, Corona, Becks, Bavaria, Hollandia, Dortmunder, James Boag Premium, Cascade Premium Lager... There's too many to mention. Stay away from the crappy US beers which mostly taste like watered down piss. Cheers When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. | |

Cheers Let me say after drinking beers with bkw last Saturday, I've decided I need to get into training before our next session. Add James Squires to the list, but stick away from India Pale Ale which tastes like spiced up Indian piss.
