My beer tastes have been running to the exotic these days. I can't tolerate the usual domestics anymore (they give me terrible headaches after a couple).
I just finished a couple of Maredsous Triple Abbey Ales. 10 percent alcohol, quite a kick. Gotta switch now, I only had two. (They are 8 bucks each!) Got Abita Amber and TurboDog, Grolsch Amber and a few Hoegaarden... ETA: I know Abita is a Louisiana microbrew, but it's still good stuff! |
|
I brew my own stouts but when I'm out I drink -
Samual Smiths Oatmeal Stout!!! I love that stuff! |
|
Have you ever had an Ottakringer Dubbel? It's Austrian, and I've never seen it in the US, but it was my favorite while I was there. |
|
|
cant say that I have. I'll have to ask about it at my local shop |

Used to buy the Warsteiner refrigerator kegs 5 at a time, but I got burned out on it. |

Caffrey's the best of the 1000 or so beers I have had on 5 continents.

I was a loooonng time Bud drinker until about 20 years ago. Do you remember when you could tell what brewery Bud came from? Williamsburg was the best! We would make the storeowner let us in the walk-in to look for Williamsburg Bud! Jacksonville (FL) was the worst... ETA: Oops. my age is showing... Most of you probably won't remember that! |

Great beer, but I have to be in the mood for it. Guess my palate has changed over the years. |
|

Always wanted to try that, but I just don't have the room where I live. It would probably be worth it just to get a good Porter. I don't really like the traditional English Porters, but there are a few microbrews out there that are excellent but hard to find. I like Rogue Mocha and Highland Oatmeal. (brewed right here in NC!) |

Dos Equis XX Grand Amber
Killians Red Red Stripe St. Pauli Girl Becks And I sure miss Löwenbräu... |
|
+1 on the Newcastle. It's my go-to beer at bars when they have nothing interesting. Got a six in the pantry, but they are hot... |

No favorite, but the imports I prefer are:
Beck's Dark Carlsberg Elephant Malt EKU 28 Franziskaner Hefe-Weisse Guiness Stout Kirin Ichiban Mackeson Triple-X Stout (the real deal, not the fake domestic crap) Murphy's Stout Negra Modelo Newcastle Brown Ale Paulaner Oktoberfest-Märzen Pilsner Urquell Samuel Smith's (Nut Brown Ale, Oatmeal Stout, Pale Ale, Taddy Porter) San Miguel Dark Spaten (Oktoberfest, Premium Lager, and Optimator) Lately, I have lost interest in microbrews due to their high starch content and generally unrefined character (more starch, more farts ). And I've rediscovered Coors, the beer of choice during my poor student years. |

Bohemia
Pilsner Urquel Killian's Karl Strauss jeff & jer bitter |
|
alot of them I cant remember the names of em.
Pilsner Urquel havent met a Trappist ale I didnt like. Gueness of course but after having it in Europe it kinda tastes watery this side of the pond. Samuel Smiths pretty much anything |
|
Isn't Zima imported from New Zealand? It's really really really really good. Really.
|
|
You should try them cold, they are great! |
|
|
German beers are usually the most flavorful
Spaten Optimator Franziskhaler Dortmunder Union (don't think is exists any more though...) Paulaner Black Mamba - Africa Tiger - Singapore Nega Modelo - Mexico Carlsberg - Sweden (? Amsterdam? not sure) Malt Liquor called Fisher D'alsace is awesome. |
|
Not that it makes any difference, but since it's shown up a couple of times in this thread, just have to note:
George Killian's "Irish Red" = tasty (yes), imported (no) It's a Coors product, imported all the way from Golden, CO. But, as I said, doesn't really matter. |

Dos Equis Amber
Beck's Dark Beck's Oktoberfest Beck' Lager Tsing-Tao Kirin Ichi-Ban Heineken Dark |
|
Guinness
McEwans Wee Heavy Scotch Ale Kulmbacher Reichelbrau - (sadly, I don't think this is available now, the world is a sadder place) Damn, now I'm thirsty. |
|
Domestic: Red Hook ESB (almost exclusively anymore)
Imports, in approximate order: Spaten Optimator Dos Equis Guiness ..guess I'm pretty easy to please! (though it can be kind of tough to find Spaten beers around here, which I find odd, because I'm five miles from one of the largest Army bases in the US--) |
|
mmm spaten octoberfest in the 5 liter mini keg.... |
