The what beer are you drinking (and or rating) thread.

Nothing wrong with a bottle or six of Dog. Good honest pint that has served me well over the years. My folks live in that part of the world and it's nice to be able to grab it on draught when I go visit.

From wikipedia: "The production launch of Newcastle Brown was said to have been an overnight success, with claims that the day after it went on sale, the Police requested the strength be reduced, because the cells were already full."

Yes, the old 'Broone Dog' has been a solid and reliable 'friend'? over the years, I still like it, even after all the situations it's put me in

My buddy's dad buys kegs of New Castle Brown through the restaurant he owns, and takes it home to his keg-fridge.

I spend more time there on the weekends than I do at home during football season.

That's a nice touch, I've never seen it in a pub on the tap, only in bottles, I bet there's quite a difference, usually I've found all beers have an added extra when from the tap ; )

Many bars near me carry Newcastle on tap.

That's weird, nearly all the beers here are cheaper when they're on tap than in bottles or cans.

I don't know why the local pubs won't carry it on tap, there are a few beers you won't get on draught here. Nuclear Brown ; ) in a bottle here is about $3.25 in the cheaper places, $4.60 in the 'better?' places.....?

Then again it costs me the equivalent of $100 for a tank full of gas : (

Damn your beer is comparatively cheap over there. It costs me like $30 to fill up and a budlight is like $3 for a pint/bottle.

Shiner Blonde for a late breakfast...1040am and all is well...

Tap is cheaper because once the keg is tapped it MUST be drunk otherwise it goes stale. So it's cheaper because suddenly it has a limited shelf life as soon as its tapped. At least that's my theory, and I'm sticking with it.

Lol, sure.

It's a good thing, I tell what else I and other RA lovers have noticed from tap, the alc content might say 5.2 or whatever, but you drink a couple and you know it's a bit higher than that ; )

I'd rather pay 'over the odd's' for a decent one though, these days.

Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout and Nut Brown Ale

One word to describe both these brews - smooth.

These are a bit expensive but I'm in love, easily the best beer I've yet to try.

Oh yeah, I'm drinking these at room temperature. Premium beers taste better this way, imo.

I was just in the Sarasota area and didn't find their beer prices to be too horrible. I went to a Publix liquor store and via Beer-o-nomics, found some decent stuff.

Had some Ybor amber lager, which was a nice beer. Nothing special, but appropriate to style.

Even though it wasn't local, I wanted to try Dogfish Head since it's generally not available in my home state, although it's available across the river. Tried the 90 minute IPA. I'd say it was good by stronger IPA standards, but entirely overhyped. There are plenty of IPAs that are just as hoppy and finish cleaner for less $.

I'm with ya bro ; ) The quality is top notch, beers brewed in 'slate squares' seem to do well in balance imo too.

I've been enjoying this lately. It's another hit from New Belgium Brewing called Ranger. It's a nice hoppy IPA.

Welcome to college.

I don't drink beer very much but this thread gave me some very good suggestions...as soon as I get off of a college campus that only sells sewer water canned as beer. :scowl: I'm mostly a liquor guy, although I drink fairly rarely. Ideal choice of liquor is Disarono. So, so smooth, but never shared with friends.

 

[Skitch it!]

Limited RA outlets where I am, I have to drive a few miles for a better choice, so old dependable again, I recommend this one for a taste though.

Had some 1554 last night. As well as the Holiday Seasonal 12 pack from Sam Adams. Chocolate Bock is bomb!
