What is the Best Beer you have ever had?

2008-06-21T20:07:08Z

So after reading "What is the Worst Beer you have ever had?" (and not knowing any of these brands as I'm from Germany) I thought, that it's much more interesting for me to know "What is the Best Beer you have ever had?".

Shall I begin? I'm all for Pilsener and as I'm from Northern Germany it has to be "Jever Pilsener" for me.
But every once in a while I like a good Guiness as well.

What is the Worst Beer you have ever had?

2008-02-22T06:18:40Z

Ok I had a beer night last year, and it was bring what you think is the best beer and one you think the worst.
We all agreed Brothers Beer from Oakland was THE worst, smelt worse than it taste, that was bloody awful too.
A close second was McAndew's Scottish Ale, Bev Mo used to sell it, but pulled it several years back, I know why, The stuff is foul, and can only be used as paint stipper at best. -Thats if you do not mind the smell.
So I have to go one better this year, so folks give me your worst!!

CAFFREYS CREAM ALE

2008-02-14T23:48:02Z

Word is that Caffreys is no longer in the USA. That it is only available in the UK/Europe. I had PLENTY of it on tap in San Francisco a year ago and the bars visited didn't know what I was talking about when I said it was hard to get...

Is it or isn't it impossible to get here? Does anyone know how I can buy it here in the USA? How can I get it otherwise? Damn, it's me second favourite ale next to Guinness. I gotta get me some Caffreys!

Snakebite

2007-09-16T08:59:33Z

One part beer (lager, ale or stout) and one part cider.

Only one I've tried is with Smithwicks and Strongbow. I thought it was a nice change. The sweetness would be a bit much for me to drink them all night, but I thought it was good.

Any other opinions?

make your room temperature beer ice cold in 5 minutes!!!!!!

2007-05-24T23:23:54Z

Possibly the most useful thing i have ever learned. I got this on mythbusters of all places.
what you need:
large container full of ice
salt
water
beer- or a drink in a container

put your drinks in the bed of ice, add some water and throw in a bunch of sat, its cheap so don't skimp. mix it all around and come back 5 minutes later to the coldest beer you have ever had.

make sure your beers are submerged and you have used plenty of salt!!!

also throwing a bunch of salt in your water when you make pasta makes it cook faster and better.

Stella Artois

2007-05-24T14:19:03Z

Been recently introduced to this Belgian beer at the local pub. Went down very smooth but snuck up on me by my 3rd. I looked it up... it's 5.2% ABV. I notice Guinness Draught is 4.1 to 4.3% ABV.

Guess that explains it's slightly better punch. I like it!

Wow.. on a sidenote, Guinness Foreign Extra Stout (sold in Ireland) is 7.5% ABV! Haven't had that pleasure yet. Perhaps some folks here have made that Dublin pilgrimage.

St. Arnold Divine Reserve

2007-03-08T08:31:06Z

Number four just came out. It is a "wee heavy scotch ale". It is pretty nice, the other four were extremely hoppy, this one is very mild on the hops, very chocolate malty. Almost black, at around 10%. Right now I am drinking Divine Reserve #3, a double IPA which has mellowed nicely in the 3 months since the release. When it first came out it was really too hoppy, and I like hops, now it is very nice.

Wisconsin micro appreciation!!!

2007-01-30T21:57:37Z

'Sconie girl here. i'm new 'round these parts and i'm a HUGE beer junkie.... i can't even tell you how excited i was when i heard that beer is actually good for milk production, um, but that's another story...

ANYWAYS.... i'm sitting here right now enjoying a bottle from one of the newer microbreweries on the scene here in Wisconsin...

Furthermore Brewery from Spring Green, Wisconsin (it's actually bottled and brewed in Black River Falls). i'm swilling Three Feet Deep which is a stout "with a hint of peat smoked malt" and i have to say it is quite tasty and not as stout-y as your Guiness/Black Bavarians (Sprecher). nothing like a good beer buzz at 3:53pm while baby takes her afternoon nap.

Bend, Oregon beer pilgrimage

2007-01-18T22:09:16Z

I had dinner and a few pints last night at the Deschutes Brewpub in Bend. I had a Mirror Pond and a Hop Trip. Good stuff. I'm from Portland so I've got plenty of amazing local beers to choose from, but whenever I get a chance I like to make field trips to further out breweries like Deschutes or Rogue to get the full experience. I don't use the word pilgrimage lightly. I've had several friends from the east coast visit and when they've tried these beers it was a religious experience for them. It's fun to watch. Anyway if you get a chance to try any Deschutes, go for it, it's highly reccomended.

those 'bourbon cask aged' beers

2007-01-04T10:03:55Z

in my area, great lakes brewery unleashed a bourbon cask aged beer on an unsuspecting cleveland market. i've tried it and not being a fan of bourbon, didn't care for it. it packed a hell of a punch though.

then i noticed the antichrist, (anheuser-busch) put out a 'bourbon cask aged' beer of their own, and i had to laugh, then vomit.

what i wondered is the whole 'bourbon cask aged' thing something started by GLB, or is it some nationwide beer trend?
anyone know? do your local microbreweries produce one?

Great Basin Brewing Co. Sparks, NV

2006-10-28T17:30:39Z

In Sparks we have the locally famous Great Basin, which brews Ichthyosaur IPA. This stuff is good enough to draw people from all over the state. They also have quite a few other choices which are always changing. The Icky, as its called, is by far everyone's favorite! The food at the place is decent enough, basic brew-pub fare. Unfortunately the Great Basin doesnt distribute their beer, you gotta go to the brewery itself to get it. But its worth it, they often have live music, the food is relatively inexpensive, and theres some neat gadgets you can get filled with beer, the one in particular Im thinking of is a tall, maybe 3 foot clear plastic cylinder with a tap at the bottom, which sits right on your table.

Mead

2006-06-24T05:13:14Z

Meade is a very sweet kind of beer made from fermented honey.

I just mixed up 5 Gallons of the following potion 4 days ago:

1 1/2 Gal. Raw Fireweed/Wildflower Honey
1 1/2 Gal. Raw Orange Blossom Honey
1 Gal. Canned Black Cherries and Juice
1 Gal Frozen Strawberries
1/2 Gal. Blueberries
1 Quart Blackberries
5 Lb. Mixed Pineapple, Banana, Papaya and Mango
2 Oz. Dried Heather Flowers and Tips
4 Vanilla Beans
2 cups Scottish Yeast and the 2 Cups of Beer it was stored in
2 Oz.Yeast Nutrients

It has just begun to ferment at the rate of one bubble every 30 seconds. Our batch of Dark Heineken got faster than 1 bubble per second! I hope it is ready for Thanksgiving or Christmas.

I tried real hard to get Heather Honey, but had no luck. Can anybody help? I'm willing to pay quite a bit of money for it to be shipped from Scotland. I've read in Buhner's Sacred And Healing Herbal Beers that Pure Heather Blossom Honey is the consistency of Jello, which may account for the confusion over whether the Ambrosia of the Gods was a solid or a liquid.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Liquify fruit in blender.
Mix together all ingredients in a large glass water jug (carboy).
Wait 6 months to 5 Years, freely sampling as it progresses!!
Repeat making recipe and sampling as necessary.

After 6 Months you can begin using Mead in your cooking. It makes a great sauce for beef, lamb, poultry, and pork. Add some cayeene pepper and some Horseradish for a great seafood dip.

Toads for Beer

2006-05-18T17:59:16Z

http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=94327

This is pretty weird

Beer scheme rubs out Top End toads
Tuesday Apr 4 16:00 AEST
Some people have proposed killing toads with golf clubs and cricket bats. (File picture: AAP)

By Tim Arvier
National Nine News

Just for a moment, place yourself in the position of someone trying to stop the cane toad invasion in the Northern Territory. What innovations or methods would you use? Trapping? Poisoning? Organising community toad hunts perhaps? What about setting up an exchange program in which people can swap toads for beer?

Well, if you picked the latter option, you've chosen exactly the same scheme as some enterprising Territory businessmen and the RSPCA.

With cane toads arriving in Darwin in increasing numbers, how to dispose of the pests has become a highly publicised issue and in true Territory style, there's been no shortage of eccentric solutions floating around.

Some people, such as Federal MP David Tollner, have proposed killing toads with golf clubs and cricket bats. However, there are also people like Lindsay Wilkinson from the RSPCA, who recommends cane toads be put down by rubbing them with haemorrhoid cream. Apparently this anaesthetises the animals and induces a painless death.

While the debate continues about how to control the rampant pests, it seems those benefiting most are the local newspaper editors. In addition to crocodiles, they can now use toads to create increasingly bizarre headlines.

But where does public opinion actually lie?

Many people have taken to David Tollner's suggestions and actively hunt the pests, armed with bats and clubs. Others opt for the catch and freeze approach. Disappointingly for the RSPCA, however, few Territorians seem keen to give toads a good rub down with haemorrhoid cream. To add insult, many have said they are willing to make a limited compromise by diligently applying the cream to the ends of their golf clubs.

However, in an innovative approach, the RSPCA has teamed up with Coopers Brewery and the Cavenagh Hotel to encourage people to resist whacking cane toads over the fence. Instead, Territorians who drop off the pests at the RSPCA receive a voucher for a free pot of Coopers, redeemable at the popular Cavenagh Hotel. The toads must be alive, not hit with a nine iron beforehand.

So far, the RSPCA has exchanged 250 toads for beer vouchers in the last two weeks; which is less than they had hoped for. But, they say, that's 250 fewer toads in the wild, and 250 more cheers for the RSPCA in the pub. Not to mention 250 more toads who have been spared the golf club treatment and gone to meet their maker with a more comfortable posterior.

BEER PAIRING - SIMILAR TO BLACK 'N TAN

2006-01-05T11:45:00Z

Hi Gang,

Has anyone discovered or heard about mixing two brews together other than your standard Black and Tan with Guiness and Bass? I recently discovered what is called Black Velvet in these parts ,which is essentially cider and Guiness. This weekend when researching the alcohol content of a tasty cherry lambic I discovered a post that suggested combing it with a Rogue chocolate stout. I had Youngs Double Chocolate Stout on hand so I tried a 50/50 lambic and stout and it was delicious cherry chocolate delight. So now I am hellbent on finding out some of what my fellow BEER DRINKER heads have tried or discovered along the way.

Lemmeknow,

Z

Finding my bastard!

2005-06-24T02:46:32Z

I'm over far from where I should be, living in florida. Does anyone know if, what, where, or how I can get ahold of some Arrogant Bastard Ale???? I've tried local liquor stores, but usually get this blank look; followed by some incoherent southern drawl that seems to be a question of "what is that, some joke?" any information would be appreciated. I really can't wait to get back to California.

Foster's Australian for brewed in Canada.

2005-06-21T05:18:44Z

Foster's may be Australian for beer but it’s brewed in Canada for profit! That’s right the Fosters that is sold in the USA is brewed in Canada. Why Canada? It’s cheaper than sending it from down under, plus because they brew it there they can still call it imported in the USA. After a number of years of not drinking it I bought a can for old times and it tasted strange not like I remembered it. After further investigation I read the fine print brewed in Canada right there on the label. No wonder the can was aluminum, anybody else notice this or think it is false advertising.

2 Types Of Guinness

2005-06-14T08:20:28Z

I just found out that there are 2 types of Guinness now, and have been for a few years.
Guinness draft, in a keg, or can, and now in a bottle. All of it comes from St James Gate Ireland.
Then there is Guinness Extra Stout, great strong taste, makes Guinness draft taste mild, only comes in bottles and is made in a few places around the world. Definitely worth a taste!!

Mendocino County Brewery Tour, July 9-10

2005-05-11T01:15:18Z

Monkster here...Our plan so far:
We are leaving SF the morning of Saturday the 9th of July; getting to Hopland that pm to drink at Mendocino County Brewery. Then up the road to Anderson Valley (in Boonville) and Ft. Bragg and North Coast Brewery. We can stay in a town hotel/B& B for a small sum. The inn is literally within stumbling distance of N. coast.

The next morning we will be served breakfast and make our way at a leisurely pace to a choice of Marin and Sonoma stops, incl. Lagunitas, Moylan's, Bear Republic, and Russian River. We'll decide on the details later.

We'll be getting back to SF that evening, Sunday the 10th of July.

We're asking $10 apiece to hold reservations for the group. This is non-refundable if you have to back out, but any actual trip costs will be refunded if you have to bail. I understand how that goes sometimes.

Help us plan and add details at any point.
I'm cross-posting to norcal beers, too, but feel free to invite anyone else.

For me in college we played a lot of quarters and I got pretty good.
Others included Mexican, Pass-out, beer pong and caps.

BEER MATHEMATICS

2005-04-16T05:45:15Z

This is pretty neat how it works out.
This is cool beer math!!!!!!!
DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute.......
Work this out as you read.

Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out! This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have a pint. (try for more than once)

2. Multiply this number by 2 (Just to be honest)

3. Add 5. (for Sunday)

4. Multiply it by 50 I'll wait while you get the calculator................

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1755.... If you haven't, add 1754 ...

6. Now subtract the four-digit year that you were born.

You should have a three-digit number

The first digit of this was your original number
(i.e., how many times you want to have a pint week).

The next two numbers are .......

YOUR AGE! ~ (Oh YES, it IS!!!!! )

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

Can you hang a six pack of tall boys off of your genitals?

2005-04-13T22:56:23Z

The current issue of Hustler magazine (June, Page 66) features an article I wrote about my ex girlfriend, Aura Fist, who made a living hanging six packs of Busch tall boys off her labial piercings. It was in the KNow Nothing family Zircus Sideshow. I'll drink to that!

I had a really good and interesting beer this weekend

2005-04-12T12:02:50Z

This weekend I visited the Brew Kettle Taproom and Brewery in Stronsville, Oh. This used to be a BOP, but has added a bar and resteraunt as well.

Anyway I had a Schlenkerla Lentbeer (on draft) while I was there. This is a unfilteres smoked beer. It had an aftertaste of some of the homemade smoked sausage I had last time I was in Germany.

I didn't get to sample everything on draft, but I'm definitely looking to go back.

Cheers,

Rich

1868 Homemade Beer

2005-02-14T02:24:42Z

According to "Our New Cook-Book," Peterson's Magazine (1868), a unique beer will result if you follow the following recipe.

take three-quarters of a pound of white sugar,
one ounce of cream of tartar,
the juice and rind of a lemon
and one ounce of bruised ginger.
Then put the whole into a pan and pour over it four quarts of boiling water; let it stand till lukewarm and then add a tablespoonful of yeast. When it has ceased boiling, bottle it off in small soda-water bottles or jars. It will be fit for use in twenty-four hours.

Beer Theories

2005-02-09T18:00:27Z

Sometimes when I reflect on all the beer I drink, I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. I think, "It is better to drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."
-- Babe Ruth

An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools.
-- Ernest Hemingway

When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.
-- Paul Hornung

24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not.
-- H.L. Mencken

When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we fall asleep, we commit no sin. When we commit no sin, we go to heaven. So, let's all get drunk and go to heaven!
-- George Bernard Shaw

Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
-- Benjamin Franklin

Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.

To some it's a six-pack, to me it's a "support group." Salvation in a can!
-- Leo Durocher

One night at Cheers, Cliff Clavin explained the "Buffalo Theory" to his buddy, Norm. "Well ya see, Norm, it's like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kll brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way,
regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the
brain a faster and more efficient machine! That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.
