Ok I'm a kiwi from New Zealand so I'll say Steinlager Pure for me and for all you my American friends I don't mind a bit of bud Weiser now and again. Cheers guys!
Of the beers I've drunk so far, Iron Horse Brewery's Irish Death would have to be my favorite (a dark beer I'd recommend to people who don't like dark beer).
But I must say that I just went to Total Wine last night and came home with, in addition to Shiner, Landshark Lager and some Dos Equis Amber. And enough wine to necessitate giving the cashier over $200. I've officially spent more on alcohol this month than groceries.
Used to ride motorcycles through the Texas Hill Country in the late 70's early 80's. We bought Shiner Boch for .99 cents a 6 pack. Still reasonably priced for a great beer.
I have many that I love...but to pick just one is quite a challenge. I drank some Spessart & Specht dark in Bavaria that rates right up there and Mana Wheat from Maui Brewing is an excellent white ale. We have more and more craft and micro breweries starting up in Alberta all the time and it's all good.
If Sweetwater 420 (local IPA from Atlanta) is on tap and I am going to have a meaty meal, it goes well with the food.
After working in the yard and it is hot, a cold Coors is fine - something low calorie.
The recent addition of brew houses have made beer tastings fun. I have several friends where we get together 2x a month or so to try different beers. I probably will stop by a brew house after a minor surgery on my leg this afternoon for purely medical reasons. Even here in the Bible belt, new beer pubs with growler fills and half-pint samplers are now just a few blocks from the Church of God headquarters. I don't drink much, but it feels like a refuge from the religious fundamentalism in the area just to sit and sip a beer or two.
If you want easy drinking, mild flavor, then Bud, Coors, PBR, Miller work on a hot summer day.
If you want flavor, see below:
Corona (for hot summer days...go ahead and add the lime) Anchor Steam (San Fran) Baptist Stout from Epic Brewery (SLC) Cutthroat Pale Ale (SLC) For those Who have Costcos that sell beer and wine, get their Kirkland sampler case, 4 different types of beers.
Right now my favorite is anything that is apple such as Red's Apple ale, green apple ale, strawberry ale, blueberry ale, all made by Red's. I also really like the Angry Orchid apple ale or anything with angry in it's name.
Nevada is a short 30 minutes away and most of my beer comes from a popular discount store there and has the higher alcohol content.
I do have a question; I picked up a jug of Mississippi Mud. It's a Porter & Pilsner beer. The bottle is like a brown jug and I haven't the heart to open it and drink it. Have any of you tried this one?
But seriously, folks, I'm partial to Heineken's and/or Stella Artois.
We just got back from a tour of the Czech republic and the former East Germany; and a couple of the Czech beers were pretty good too, but I don't recall the names.
And have tried over 3,000 different, distinct kinds of beer. The best I have ever had is a Belgian, named Gouden Carolus Cuvee van der Keizer. Simply amazing.
