The thread for talking about Beer
ledhendrix:
I'm away to a wee island for a holiday soon and it has a microbrewery on it. Much drinking of beer will be had and i'll report back on it if its any good.
Aimless:
I wasn't a fan of beer, until I was introduced to the world of tasty beer through Erdinger weissbier (dunkel). Since then, I've made a point of trying out new beers whenever I can, but that remains my favourite of the ones that I can readily find.
I recently discovered Hoegaarden :) and shortly after that, I discovered that Red Stripe is a perfectly acceptable cheap beer. I'm probably going to have that as an alternative to Newcastle Brown Ale from now on.

Still, the Creamy Dark is pretty damn good. I know folks from Chippewa Falls who still swear by the stuff even though the company sold out. Better drink it now before they get a corporate mandate to cut quality in favor of T.V. commercials claiming that they are quality.

They're owned Miller I'm pretty sure. Yeah, the Creamy Dark is pretty good, and the Dopplebock is . Other than that, the Red is the only one I'll ever drink, and that's only if I'm at a bar that has absolutely nothing else worthwhile on tap.
Their top-selling stuff is all shit though. Honey Weiss is crap, the Sunset Wheat tastes like terrible blueberry pancakes, and the Berry Weiss and Summer Shandy shouldn't even get to be called beer.
carrotosaurus:
Aren't those new(er) organic beers like Stone Mill Pale Ale and Wild Hop Lager owned by majors?
Oli:
Are we indie about beer too now?
All I ever drink is cans of Tennent's and pints of Guinness. I am a student. Cans of Tennent's are cheap and cheerful; Guinness is tasty, reasonablly priced and pretty standard in any pub.
