I drink Bud.  In fact, since 1995, since graduating from college, it's pretty much been my beer of choice.  

And in that time, I reckon I've drunk the equivalent of somewhere between 7,000 and 10,000 12 oz. cans/bottles, and my balls are still there.

I think you meant Old Milwaukee.

For my money, Rock, Loewenbraeu is only the third best brewery in Munich, behind Paulaner and (best of all) Augustiner.  Ayinger (from just outside Munich) is also excellent.  You ask any beer nut in Muenchen what they drink, though, and they'll all say Augustiner.  Their "Edelstoff" puts hair on your chest.

Dutch beer sucks, for the most part.  Belgian beer, though, which is universally available here, is excellent.  Leffe and Grimberger are my favourites.  Blond, Dubbel, Tripel - it's all great, it just depends how pished you want to get.

Lots of swear words could be used here about the (domestic) beer industry.  I'll limit myself to:

You can taste the steel from the distillery in Budweiser.  If you're going to drink domestic, the least you could do for yourself is have a nice warm Natural Ice, or the finest domestic out there, Icehouse.

Thanks man. I haven't ventured that far south. I'm currently stuck outside of Ansbach. A lot of the local stuff is pretty solid though. I hope to get down Munchen around Christmas. I'll check some of that stuff out. I really need more hair on my chest.

Forgot to mention that Mike and Fork were right.  Old Mil is my personal worst beer.  Milwaukee's Best Ice, to be specific.

I used to fancy myself as an ice beer warrior, and still do if need be, but Milwaukee's Best Ice tastes a lot like Korski's vodka (about $5 for a full gallon, I think?), which tastes a lot like solidified cement puke chunks, which usually makes you puke.

Newcastle is my standby, mainly because it's hard to find a place that doesn't serve it and it's always the balls.  I'd like to get more into the Belgian beers, I frequent a Belgian microbrew that makes a killer Tripel.  When it comes to the commercially available in the US stuff, I don't mind Stella, but I'm not keen on Hoegarden and other wits.  Also, I'm a big fan of Aylinger.

Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout is T-E-H A-B-L-L-S

I think all the Sammy Smiths are tasty. I'd probably drink his piss. It's probably better than Miller Lite.

I also love me some Guinness when it can be had in a respectable establishment that knows how to keep and pour it. My sister's friend from Ireland once went behind the bar and schooled a youngster in my hometown about the keg, the pour etc. It was quite a trip. The manager gave us a free round in appreciation.

I'll see your New Castle and your Warsteiner's and I'll drink them for you too. Yummy!

Honorable mention:
Red Stripe
Dos Equis
Killian's
Honey Brown

I'll tell you where to get some good domestic. Seattle.

There seems to be a micro brewery every damn block. It's also the home of Starbuck's.

Which means: Go to a micro, get a load on, grab a cuppa in Starbucks to sober up, hit the next micro.

I mean, shit, it's always raining there anyway, so ya gotta do something, right?

Also in Seattle: F.X. McRory's, one of the greatest bars I've ever been in. They have a "Wall of Liquor", barkeeps literally have to blimb ladders to get at some of the stuff. My bud vgk and I went in there after a Mariners game (it was across from the Kingdome), had a couple shots, including one of "Georgia Moon", corn liquor. We then went up onto a deserted observation deck of a tall building and took leaks. Over the side. Like I said, it's always raining there anyway.

I enjoy Leinenkugel's and have been enjoying it a lot more since my sister's fiancee is an area rep for Leinies and whenever we get together, he brings beer. That said, he's a Sox fan so maybe it's best to avoid buying Leinie's because we all know that he'll spend his commission on meth anyway.

Seriously, though Leinie's is pretty good, but I also enjoy Goose Island (Honker's, IPA and 312), Fat Tire, Anchor Steam and Sierra Nevada.

For foreign drinking, I do like Smithwick's, Warsteiner and Harp -- in that order. Give me a Stella and I won't complain, either.

For industrial drinking (parking lot at Soldier Field, for example), Coor's Light, Miller Lite, MGD, Budweiser, Bud Lite and Bud Select are what's consumed, in that order.

Now, what's everyone's favorite Scotch? Bourbon?

If you like Glenlivet, TJ, you might also enjoy Highland Park.  Even their 12-year-old is excellent.

I've got a rather splendid Glenfiddich 21 year old in the drinks cabinet as we speak, as well as a bottle of Glenlivet, a Glenmorangie 12 and a bottle from a wee East Coast distillery called Clynelish.  You can taste the sea.

Aw, man, this makes me want to go home.  Unfortunately we're at the outlaws (in Germany) this Xmas rather than with my folks in Scotland.

Getting back to beer, by the way - Goose Island was probably the best beer I drank in Chicago when I was there.  I seem to remember their "Ryno" was pretty good.

Blue Moon, Sierra Nevada, Smithwicks.

Get out of my head.  Those are my favorites, and I'll also add Warsteiner (actually at the top of my list).  Try a few Blue Moons with a shot of Bacardi O, and forget all of your troubles.

I like most of the Leinie's, and I have enjoyed pretty much anything I've had from Goose Island (I was just drinking 312 the other night).

As far as cheapies go, I'm a fan of Honey Brown and Rolling Rock, for some reason.

For light beers, I guess I can deal with Miller and Coors.

For non-Chicago local beers, Yuengling out of Pennsylvania is liquid gold.

Worst Beers:
1.  Hamm's (you lie, Nomar)
2.  Pabst
3.  Old Style (sorry, guys)
4.  Keystone
5.  The Beast
6.  Heineken (I don't care how much you paid for it, I know it was squeezed out of a skunk, damnit)

Woodford Reserve is a damn fine bourbon. DAMN fine.

A well poured Guinness is tough to top, but it's hard to come across. Also, it doesn't have a ton of alcohol in it. But if you drink Guinness Stout in the islands you'll get nice and fucked up. (All the beers are close to 8% down there and it's cheaper than water). Don't go swimming in the ocean afterward. Sea water and Guinness Stout don't mix well in your stomach.

Anything by Rogue is gonna be damn good, including Dead Guy, Mocha Porter, Double Chocolate, and Red Ale. Great Lakes makes some really good stouts and porters, too. And you can never go wrong with Goose Island Honker's Ale or Anchor Steam, Porter, or Stout. I tend to like micro brews better than imports. They're fresher and just more interesting. And yeah, I drink the shit out of Old Style during Cubs games. It's an ambiance thing.

For a good beer, I'll throw in a plug for Kansas City's Boulevard beer, good stuff.

My Ozarks-dwelling, Royals-rooting friends swear up-and-down by Boulevard.  Its supposedly best served after a campus wide interracial brawl.

Blue Moon sucks the schmag out of a dead elephant's rotting vagina.

It (and any other wheat beer you can name) tastes like they poured shampoo in it.

And it's for teh gheys. 

Well thank goodness it isn't for the gays.  Then I'd totally never drink it.

How about Stag? A Missouri beer, I believe.

When faced with the decision at the Edward Jones Dome (Club section at the Bears game last week) of a 24-oz. draft of Bud for $9.25 vs. a double Crown Royal for $7.25, the choice was easy. Plus a lot less pissing.

I was on the Crown Royal website a few months ago and signed up to be a member of the Society of the Crown. Yesterday, I returned home from work to find the postman had delivered a nice box on the front step from Crown Royal. It contained a purple velvet pillow (with gold fringe, of course) with a hole cut in the middle to set a bottle of Crown in, as well as some personalized labels to slap on the bottle. It may be hard for me to get a cooler gift this Xmas.

Big Fan of Woodford Reserve, although I'm not as big a bourbon lover as I'm a Scotch lover. My Scotch of choice is Glenlivet, but Lagavulin is excellent.
you might also enjoy Highland Park.

More of a Highwood man, myself.

I married a Highland Park girl, so yes, I do enjoy the pleasures of Highland Park (speaking of Highland Park and booze, they put a Sam's Wine and Spirits on US 41 and Park Ave West.. yum). I will try HP Scotch.

As for Highwood, better restaurants and better dive bars. The Wooden Nickel was always a favorite dive bar that I frequented. I haven't been back since I turned 21.

I've strayed at times, but I always come back to my nut brown ale-master: Newcastle.  So bloody good.  I'll do a Boddington's sometimes, but Newcastle is just too, too fine.

As far as drinks, can't say no to Jameson/rocks.  Occasionally I'll order a mid-priced scotch/rocks, or a Candian whiskey/rocks (CC or Crown), but the Jameson/Newcastle combo has done me ... well, it hasn't done me "good," but it's done me.

For his 21st birthday, a friend of mine bought a keg of Blue Moon and a keg of Bud Light for his birthday party.  I've had about 14 cups of light beer in my life, and I think ten of them were that night.  Can't stand Blue Moon, the girlfriend loves it.

Interestingly, Corona is a very popular "premium" beer in Australia.  And I laugh at everyone who buys it.  I don't know what the Mexican bartenders know, but I know that $50 is far too much to pay for 24 shitty Coronas.

In Oklahoma, they have this incredibly dumb rule where liquor stores can't sell beer stronger than 3.2% ABV cold.  The idea is that it cuts down on drunk driving, because people won't drink warm beer on the way home, but wait until they put it in the fridge.

The end result is that Miller Lite and all the other cheap beers are specially made to comply with this law and are weak as hell.

While I was stationed there, I had a buddy who brewed his own beer and also introduced me to Boulevard.

I really don't have a point here; this just seemed like an appropriate thread to whine about Oklahoma's liquor laws.

Your favorite.

In the States: St. Pauli Girl: Special Dark

Here in Germany: Lowenbrau: Triumphator (That's 7.8% alcohol, MADD)

Best beer to drink prior to fat chick lovin: Schlitz.

For my money, Rock, Loewenbraeu is only the third best brewery in Munich, behind Paulaner and (best of all) Augustiner.  Ayinger (from just outside Munich) is also excellent.  You ask any beer nut in Muenchen what they drink, though, and they'll all say Augustiner.  Their "Edelstoff" puts hair on your chest.

Dutch beer sucks, for the most part.  Belgian beer, though, which is universally available here, is excellent.  Leffe and Grimberger are my favourites.  Blond, Dubbel, Tripel - it's all great, it just depends how pished you want to get.

As great as Desipio is, it's a shame that people here know nothing about great beer. You sir, on the other hand, have made my day with your post. I am currently drinking a St. Bernardus 12, that's been aged 3 years. Earlier, I had a 2001 JW Lees Harvest, which held up well. There is so much great American craft beer, wonderful Belgian ales, and fine German and British (pass me a Fuller's vintage, or 1845 please) that it makes me sick that people drink Bud and Natty Ice. With all the amazing beer you can get in this country there is no excuse. If anybody on this board wants to try something new, I will be happy to give suggestions, shit, I will f@#$ing send you something, just let me know.

Send me something!

Lots of swear words could be used here about the (domestic) beer industry.  I'll limit myself to:

You can taste the steel from the distillery in Budweiser.  If you're going to drink domestic, the least you could do for yourself is have a nice warm Natural Ice, or the finest domestic out there, Icehouse.

We should change the thread title to Bad. Beer.

But I'll steer us back, I love me some Newcastle. Yum.

Why, I just enjoyed a fine Newcastle a few nights back myself.  That is what beer is.

My own input into this thread?  The greatest beer known to myself -- Warsteiner premium dunkel.  Go to war with Warsteiner.  Get dunked by the dunkel.

You should just not talk about beer.

Ha!  Well, friend.  You can just step right up and kiss my wah-toosie!  You must have missed the countless times where I've hollered at folks here and many other places for even mentioning light beer.  You must have missed the countless times where I've mentioned that I haven't drank in years.  You must have missed the countless times, ah, the f uck with it, you must have missed a lot.

The day a beer elitist chirps to me, to me!, about the finer points of alcoholic intake, well, it sure as shit ain't going to be today.  Suck a Keystone, good sir.

I can't drink the Warsteiner verum ... I don't generally like pilsners at all, and the Warsteiner just tastes far too bitter for me.

I've had 12 Warsteiner dunkels in my fridge for about 3 years.  It seems like the verum is more available, but the bitter description is pretty accurate.  So is the description about dunkel being like beer wasn't meant to be made any other way.  Warsteiner also has a premium brew which is supposed to be just another Bud type, but the dunkel is good enough to not have to consider trying any other type.

Yeah, that's right Pancho.  We're pontificating about the greatness of Warsteiner dunkel.  Y'wanna case race or somethin'!?

Yeah, I couldn't remember what its gimmick was.  The only thing I remembered was that it was American brew-ish, which is where I drew my comparison of it to Budweiser from.  I had read on it at some point, when all stores in town had suddenly stopped carrying dunkel.  I never did find anything that was quite on its level, but thankfully dunkel did make a return later down the road.  Either way, gimme a dunkel any day.

I just want to say how impressed I am that no one here has mentioned Heineken.  If one could have a genuine hatred for a beer, I do and it's for that crap.

I think this stuff is a malt beverage, but I'm a fan of Steel Reserve when I'm looking for something cheap with a high alcohol content.

If you're talking 40s, it's St. Ides or Olde English or nothing. I'm not wasting my $4.00 on something inferior.  Although, I was known to down a few Coquis in my day.

40's cost 4.00 now?!?  Back in my day, we could get a 40 of OE or Mickey's for under 2 bucks.

Look, I finally snapped, I'm guilty...I'm surronded by dirtbags 24/7, alright. Flame away, I deserve it. But seriously, if anyone would like a bottle of something to share with a friend, send me a message, and I'll be more than happy to oblige, this place is too high speed to settle for less. Good bless and have a good holiday.

The thing is, he was--if memory serves--a qualified desipiot.  Smart and stupid at the same time, sarcastic, informed and all that.  A true, grade-A moran.  It's a shame he'd let one public display of drunkeness serve as the impetus for his self-imposed exile.

I'm at home... on dial-up... so sorry if I'm a few days late and bring this back on topic...  I also only read the first two pages b/c of the shity connection.

Favorite beer ever: Delerium Nocturnems (Tremens is good, but Nocturnems is darker... and thus better)
Favorite from a US brewery: Three Philosophers (Omegang, Cooperstown NY - a black cherry lambic, 26 oz, 9.8%, they have it at the sweet ass shop on Illinois or Water, a block or two from Navy Pier after you go under Michigan)

A few other that I really like:

Edmund Fitzgerald Porter (Great Lakes Brewery, Cleveland Ohio)
Anything from Unibroue (Quebec, somewhere)
Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA
Just about anything Leinenkugel's...  Doppel Bock is my favorite in the winter, and the Honey/Berry combo in the summer
Ditto for Goose Island, though the Demolition is particularly good
And of course, Chimay Grand Reserve.

I look for high APV and taste.  I think my favorite bar thus far has been the Clark St. Ale House - $4 pints of good micros.  I want to go to the Goose Island Brewery sometime this winter.

At 40£ for a 12 oz bottle, I think I'll stick with whiskey.  The Tactical Nuclear Penguin is, however, too well named to miss.

"The flamboyantly competitive Scottish brewery BrewDog has released Sink the Bismarck!, a "quadruple IPA" that they say is the most alcoholic in the world at 41%."

"BrewDog's managing director James Watt: It is important that you be careful with this beer and show it the same amount of sceptical, tentative respect you would show an international chess superstar, clown or gypsy."

"BrewDog is no stranger to controversy over the strength of its product. Prior to the 40% Tactical Nuclear Penguin, their 18.2% Tokyo was criticized by alcohol awareness groups, so it crafted a low alcoholic brew called Nanny State."

Anyone up for playing Sink the Bismark! with Sink the Bismark! beer?

Is that Nick's Scottish Hut in Bloomington, Ind?

This on the itinerary on your Tour-of-Indiana roadtrip?

No. And don't scoff and mis-characterize the Apex Epic Road Win of April 2010 if you want us to save you a seat on the bus. Or in the trunk of my Civic as it were.

Judging by the disparity between his writing ability and this guy's (http://sticklersworld.blogspot.com/2007/04/sink-biz-rules.html), I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that TJ never set a 'Sink the Biz' record during his time in Bloomington.

You'd think they could figure out a way to combine this with a "gravity bong."

You'd probably have to drive up to Purdue for something like that.

Is he related to Richard Hofstadter, author of The American Political Tradition and Anti-Intellecutalism in American Life?  Two of my favorite books of all-time.

On a completely unrelated note, I heard a pro tip regarding gravity bongs (traditional bottle-in-the-bucket design) that I wish I had known 50 mouthfuls of bong water ago.

Stick a ping pong ball in the air chamber to act as a poppet valve. When you push the bottle down, the ping pong ball will stay at the top of the water line, eventually seat itself in the center of the opening, and prevent water from being drawn in to your mouth.

I should perhaps mention that I had had several other Belgian beers prior to this, and half a joint, so you can take or leave this recommendation.  My piss is pink today, too.

It probably would have been easier to find this thread: http://www.desipio.com/messageboard/index.php?topic=855.555

Searched? Jeez, it was bumped like 2 days ago, man.

I hardly ever read anything outside the Desipio Lounge.

Why do you hate the troops?

The Messiah Bold ain't bad.

Nothing special, but drinkable.
