Ted O'Reilly Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 my "default" beer these days is czech and great: No pic, Ubu... What's the beer? Staropramen has always been one of my favorite. Me too. A fine drink for all reasons. Golden Pheasant(Zlatý Bažant) is another fine brew from Slovakia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie87 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Drinking a St. Arnold Summer Pils at the moment. It's a decent summer, beach-type beer. I also managed to pick up a pricey six-pack of St. Arnold's Divine Reserve (No. 12), which was released today, but in a very limited batch. There were lines in most stores up in Houston, where St. Arnold is brewed. They recommend storing it cold for about a year before drinking it, to fully develop. Don't know if I'll be able to wait that long to sample it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if I'll be able to wait that long to sample it! A few years ago I bought about 30 bottles of barley wines, old ales, double IPAs and whatnot from a friend who was moving to Alaska. He kept some of cellar but there wasn't room for all of it for the drive north. He had done the hard part of aging some of the bottles 2 and 3 years. For about 9 months I was able to do dutiful things like buy the 6 of Bigfoot, add a few 22 ozs that are better aged and not totally drain the cellar. Then came along the semi-annual news story about how we're due in the next 10 minutes or 500 years for a 9.7 earthquake that'll cause Eugene to have ocean front property. La la la la drink for today. Cellar free since 2009. But try to hide 2 or 3. Edited August 1, 2012 by Quincy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alocispepraluger102 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 i'm definitely no sam adams fan, but this moderately priced stout has tasted really good for the past few weeks. i am alternating this with bell's kalamazoo stout and yuengling porter, a very decent, if not exceptional, inexpensive porter.

jazzbo Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 I've enjoyed a few of these this year. It says "Smooth" on the label, and that's truth in advertising. I don't drink much, and I usually try something different when I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete C Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) Outside of Mexico I haven't found many really good beers in Latin America, as they generally lean toward light lagers & not-very-hoppy Pilseners. But Mexico has some excellent beers, including Bohemia and Negra Modelo, two of my favorites. One of the best bang for the buck Belgian blonds is Affligem, which I get for $2.25 a bottle. It's infinitely better than Leffe. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/196/620/ Edited August 2, 2012 by Pete C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alocispepraluger102 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) very seriously bitter chocolatey--- after a 4 banger of guinness foreign extra with some serious jazz-sort of, kind of like biting into some serious baking chocolate, or warne marsh.

A Lark Ascending Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Although I tend to find beers over 5% a bit too sickly, I really like this one. The gumpf on the label has fooled me into believing I can taste a liquorice flavour. Always have a couple of bottles before I hit the woods in the Welbeck Estate at 2.00 a.m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) Good stuff from Blandford Forum. The 'Blandford Fly' is one of my favourites from there (they seem to have re-branded it to 'Flyer'). This one is also nice.. "At the heart of many a countryside village can be found an inn. A place where locals go to relax after a long day. At one such inn, rumour has it that inquisitive ferrets would sneak to the back door to cheekily sample the local brew. Fursty Ferret has a sweet nutty palate, hoppy aroma and a hint of Seville oranges, give this tawny amber ale its distinctive personality. Recommended with smooth and creamy West Country Cheddar or indulgent pork pies and mustard." These guys could out-hype Dusty Groove !
