I like the sam seasonal beers. Not so much the spring, kinda tastes like someone accidentally knocked a spice rack into it. I like all beers that dont say corona, miller, or coors in a yellow can. Drinkin a Negra Modelo right now (Modelo especial also sucks)


Also, Im jealous of joe. San diego has to be one of the best places in the country, if not the world, when it comes to selection of beers on tap.

Hey Joe. Next time I go visit my mom in Carlsbad, maybe I can get a ride from you so I can see what a reel turbo miata feels like? For the price of a couple of beers of course

My favorite once in a while beer is Chimey Triple Trappist. 9%ABV

My favorite Draft is Pauliner (SP?) Hefewiezen

My get a 6 pack at 7 eleven beer is Yuengling hands down. (We have a brewery in tampa, so its usually pretty tasty, and cheaper than Coors. Usually about 10 bucks for a 12 Pack bottles here.)

Weihenstephaner. Let me add that American imitations of wheat bear are ******* gross. Every one I've tried. Then again, I hate hops.

Hoegaarden for a light beer, otherwise Guinness FTW.

Well, we're definitely behind Denver, which seems to be microbrew mecca. OTOH, both Stone and Green Flash are within 5 miles of where I work, and yet I've never been to either.

My favorite local hangout is a place called the Pizza Port. They only have ~30 taps or so, but they rotate through them an awesome selection of local microbrews. There is one section dedicated to stouts and porters, there is always a good barleywine or two...

The best I've ever seen been to personally was called the Flying Saucer in Addison, TX. Very similar sounding to the one y8s posted. Their current menu: http://www.beerknurd.com/store.sub.php?store=2&sub=beer

I found this book pretty interesting, lots of recipes too. Beer Captured, Tess & Mark Szamatulski. I'm going to brew for the first time this summer.

I like too many beers to have a favorite...but I'm looking for a decently cheap "mainstay" that I can afford to keep in the fridge full time, so this thread is great. Smooth, amber, not too malty...

All you ATL folks, I hope you've been to the Brick Store Pub in Decatur. Yummy. Describe to them what your perfect beer is, and they'll bring it to you in the appropriate glass. I once got a beer served to me in a teacup there. The Taco Mac in Virginia Highlands isn't bad either.
