So I'm sitting here gazing at cars, plowing through posts, sipping a beer. Definitely my beverage of choice, although my tastes have changed drastically over the years. You may think "Here it comes, how terrible XXXXX beer is, I'll only drink YYYYYY micro brewed beers now."

But that's not what happened. My history with beer started with cheap and whatever I could get my hands on, just like many of you. In college, I became a bit of a beer snob, drinking ales, stouts, Pyramid Apricot something or other. Then I moved to Chicago from California, and with no job and plenty of free time, a housemate introduced me to the way of Miller High Life. We calculated that High Life was cheaper than bottled water... but totally enjoyable. And so my approach to beer changed.

More than ten years later, I find that I buy multiple quality levels of beer, and I shy away from anything more heavy than a pilsner or lager. So now my drafts of choice, depending on my mood and the status of my wallet:

Miller High Life
Pabst Blue Ribbon
Beck's
Pacifico
Longboard Lager
Trumer Pilsner
Jever Pilsner
Hoffbrau Munich Lager
Gaffel Kolsch

Almost forgot my new favorite: Oskar Blues Brewery, Mama's Little Yella Pils... best canned beer I've ever drank.

The above list are my go to beers. There are many out there that I'm happy to drink, and many that I will have nothing to do with. So hey, Mopar maniacs:

What beer(s) do you drink, and why?
 
I,m in the same boat...It seems as you get older it,s quality and not quanity...It used to be buttwiper or even black label...I have had my share of pbr...Now it,s stout beer...The darker the better...Guinness is my all time favorite...I also like the micro brews....Heres myn list..
1 guinness stout..
2 sierra nevada
3 bison brewery chocolate stout..
4 It ain,t beer but Jack Daniels!!!!
I am a native of the great state of Tennessee!!!
 
I very seldom drink any beer anymore but i always liked Coors light and once in awhile i do like a cold one.. I guess taste is the only reason.. Beer to me doesn't taste like it did 30 years ago, I used to talk with my granddad who always had a 1/2 keg in the re-fridge of his garage and he and i would get into every discussion known to man kind. He always thought that its not being kept very long, not aged like it was in the old days. I have no idea if this is true, maybe its just the ole taste buds change over the years. Real cool poll though, be interesting to read who drinks what and why.. Before Coors, i drank Kohler (sp) beer brewed in Erie Pa..
 
My list....No Particular order

Leinenkugels-Summer Shandy
New Glarus-Spotted Cow
Bud Light Lime
Blue Moon
Leinenkugels-Sunset Wheat
Budweiser
Stone Cellar- Houdini Honey Wheat
 
I tried some of that new Bud Light platinum the other night and damn thats good beer! has 6.0% alc volume so it will get ya buzzin' pretty quick of course im not a big drinker 2 bottles felt like I had 5!
 
Guinness.
Samuel Smith Imperial Stout.
Any Stout
Any Porter.
Any IPA.
Any Microbrew.
Rittenhouse Rye when it ain't beer.


I drink, therefore I am.
 
Well i may be a little bias (being from Wisconsin). But i have to admit, i don't think i've ever tasted any better beer than the New Glarus "Spotted Cow", I'm with you all the way on that one Prop. Unfortunately they don't export out of state. All the party beers fall WAY short in the taste department. Even the Platinum variety just tastes like bad tap water to me.

My choices?

Spotted Cow (New Glarus)
Fat Squirrel (New Glarus)
Esser's Best Lager (Made a few blocks from my old house)
Sierra Nevada (lots of flavor, but very drinkable)
Leinenkugel's (any of them really)

And if i must party!? Pabst, or the occasional Miller product. But only for games and long nights.
 
I Love a good northwest style IPA. Lots of hops, bitter and o yha and can be +9% ABV.
Here is a list of some of my favorites, I encourage you to try some if you get the chance.

I don't support the big 3 and they can be tricky trying to pass of as a micro brew. Life is too short to drink shitty beer and if for some reason I have to it will be a Rainer but thats few and far between. I did try a bud platinum the other night and couldn't drink it, what a crappy beer and only 6% ABV; Rice and Corn don't belong in beer.

My friends and I are also starting to homebrew, we are on our 4th batch and I have to say they are getting better.

My Favorites in no particular order.

Black Raven - Trickster IPA - ABV: 7.0% IBU: 70
Black Raven - Wisdom Seeker Double IPA - ABV: 9.0% IBU: 85
Columbia Vally - CONTINUALLY HOPPED I.P.A. - ABV 7.6%
Trade Route - Hoppy Bitch IPA - ABV 6.3% IBU:80
Rock Bottom - Hop Bomb - ABV: up to 9% IBU:95
Deschutes - Mirror Pond Pale Ale - ABV 5.0%
Stone - Ruination IPA - ABV: 7.7% IBU:+100
Stone - Smoked Porter - ABV: 5.9% IBU: 53
Bridgeport - IPA - ABV:5.5%
Deschutes - Hop Henge -ABV: 8.5% IBUs 95
The Alchemist/Stone/Nikasi - More Brown Than Black IPA - ABV 7.4% IBU:80
Nikasi - Total Domination IPA ABV:6.7% IBU:65
Russian River - Pliny The Elder - ABV:8.0%

Just remember dry hopping is a wonderful thing!
 
I don't drink much anymore, especially beer, I think I've become allergic as my sinuses basically swell shut. I do enjoy a couple of Miller High Lifes with the guys during car club nights and always had a thing for New Castles. Wine does the same thing but I do love a good red Zinfindel. Drink of choice these days would be Hendricks Gin and tonic with fresh cucumber in it. One of the few things that doesn't affect my allergies.
 
I actually went through the micro/import/craft stage before I was legal drinking age!
Whoops, can I say that here?
We used to have "weird beer and movie" parties, where everyone would bring a six of something they thought the others hadn't had before, and one person was charged with bringing the strangest movie they could find.
THOSE were the days!
My favorite back then and still in the top 10 was Theakston's "Old Peculier". Goes GREAT with a nice quality beef jerky.
One of my newer favorites (past 15 years) is Abita "Turbo Dog".
I'm more of a stout/porter kind of guy, but I can also enjoy a good lite lager.
I've been on a Miller 64 kick lately (note the change in marketing), intermixed with Modelo Especial.
Modella Negro is also a great dark beer.
For a while I was on browns like Newcastle- and for a while I was on high Alcohol- like Unibroue products that can be 13%. Spaten "Optimator" is another one, sometimes you need to really think about whether you need a second one.
Tennants and Harp are also favorites on the lighter side.
Won't pass up a good (hand made) black and tan, either.

Sam Adams-all, kilians Irish Red, bud light, bud light with lime, guiness and harp for black and tans. Mmmmm thirsty now dam...
 
I don't drink much period but when I do, I like a variety of beers really but, Any Samuel Adams, I especially like the Cream Stout, Kilt Lifter is another really good beer... I prefer my beers with some extra, hops, thickness, flavor, good head & body to them, like most of the many Micro-Brews, almost so you can chew them...LOL..., preferred way over any of the wimpy, watered down Pilsners & Lagers of the major mass produced brand Bud-Coors-Miller-Oly-Pabst, type counter parts... I do like a Heineken & Corona on a real hot day, you can down them much easier then the micro-brews, if your real thirsty, then switch over to a good beer...
 
I acknowledge my Irish heritage with Guinness... and I acknowledge my English heritage by preferring it at room temperature... but I acknowledge my Scottish heritage by letting someone else pick up the tab!
 
If I were a beer drinker, I'd just have to drink this..........

I quit drinking many years ago [border line alcoholic] but when i did drink it was budwiser and miller once and awhile. When i was in holland it was braun beer or hinys in korea [86-89] it was san megel or budwiser,never tried any thing else.
 
I've had the Stooges, and "Monty Python's- 'Holy Gr-ALE'".

I was on Sam Adams for a long time.
 
If I drink a cheap beer its a NW micro brew. If I drink an expensive beer its a NW micro brew. I used to drink miller high life and Bud... now I want quality over quantity. Simple as that. I know people who drink Hamms their whole life and could afford a good beer but .. its their taste... to each his own :eek:ccasion14:

Alaskan Amber is a good brew... middle of the road for domestic lovers to be able to drink


Pliny the Elder is a killer brew.. domestic drinkers would not like it one single bit....

Drink a new beer each day and learn of the place where it was brewed... broaden your horizons gents.. lot of good stuff out there
 
A nice cold Sam Adams black or cream is really good but for out working in the yard MGB otherwise the Sam Adams will just cause me to stop what I am doing and be lazy.
