The 'This beer rules!' thread

[Anthbass]

I'm not big on threads where people take the piss outta the beer they like the least but I do like threads where we praise the ones we cherish most! Tell me what you like and why ya like it.
I haven't had anything distasteful from Unibroue, the Quebec brewers who brought us Maudite, La Fin du Monde, Trois Pistoles, etc.
Your turn..

Well, personally, I'm a HUGE fan of Borders Bookstore, but it looks like a thread on that will get shut down today, so I guess I'll turn to alcohol.

Picaroons. I doubt anyone outside of New Brunswick has ever had this, since they don't really have a huge distribution, but it's absolutely amazing beer. They make all of the standards (summer ale, IPA, porter, stout, etc.), but it's delicious. Really full-bodied beers with an incredible amount of taste.

I love their Best Bitter.


Also Garrison, a Nova Scotian beer, is amazing, also. Probably my favorite overall company for beer. I'm not one for fruity beers, but their raspberry wheat beer is absolutely delicious. I'm also very fond of both their Tall Ships amber, and their Nut Brown beer. The latter has a very 'earthy' taste to it (but in a good way).

I am partial to the Dragon's Milk, but they don't seem to brew a "bad" beer in the bunch...

[Lorenzini]

Xingu Black Beer. It's the best, and not available most places. Still, if you get a chance, check it out - it's just yummy.

[Chad Michael]

1) John Smith's Bitter Ale

2) Simpatico

[spade2you]

2. Great Divide Herculese Double IPA
3. Boulevard Smokestack Double Wide IPA
4. Upstream (local brew pub) oak aged IPA

Belgian brews
1. LaMoneusse (sp? sorry, not at home) Saison

3. Duvel (although I find it a tad overcarbonated, any suggestions?)
4. Nostradamus!!!!!!!!!

I'm not a beer fan generally, but on hot days I like crisp light refreshing summer brews. On the cheap, a Corona with lime is hard to beat. Imported, Hoegaarden is super nice and easy to drink. But my absolute favorite is Kona Brewing's Wailua. It's a wheat beer brewed with passionfruit, super yummy. The passionfruit in it is not like fruit juice or a girly fruity drink, it's just a light tropical hint on top of the crisp summer beer. Ahhhhhh....

[Dr Stankface]

Sam Adams or Landshark with lime for me.

[bradjonesbass]

Bells is my favorite brewery. IPA, Hopslam, Porter, Two-Hearted Ale, all very good. The best was the 8000 batch - special anniversary brew, but I think it's all gone now. WOW!!! Favorite beer ever. If you haven't tried Bells yet, go find some and try it. Do. It. NOW. You'll thank me.

Time to expand your horizons my friend. That's like saying your favorite wine is Irish Rose...

[mike_v_s]

Abita. I avoid the Light and tolerate the Golden. All else will fall victim.

Sapporo is pretty good! A really light beer, but I enjoyed the can of it that I picked up a while ago. We just started selling it here, so when I noticed something new on the shelves, I had to try it.

[Marley's Ghost]

Yuengling Lager. Relatively cheap here, and very tasty! From the oldest brewery in the USA.

[Thunderscreech]

I enjoy my dad's homebrew, as well as Seirra Nevada Pale Ale. My dad is a fan of stouts (so dark you can not see daylight through them), Lagers, and a summer specilalty: Rosemarry Beer. tastes great with good pizza!

[warnergt]

Another Yuengling fan here.


However, I have recently discovered a beer that used to be extremely popular
back even before I drank beer (and that's pretty long ago).
Ballantine.



The three ring design was "borrowed" by Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham
for his representative symbol on Led Zeppelin IV.
Seriously!
