Name your favorite beers!

Bring 'em on, ladies and gents!

New Castle has been my favorite for a while but it's getting uncrowned by other beers I've recently been experimenting (and enjoying) such as Pilsner Urquell (Czech), a few hefeweizens (sp?) (can't remember the names anymore), and oatmeal wheat beers.

I just came out of Stella's in Ithaca if any of you have ever been there (I bet you have, Jason!) - and apparently, this tiny ass town of Ithaca has its own brewery! But the beer is great, though - Ithaca Pale Ale and I tried their apricot wheat beer, which was really weird but hey, it's all good. Chased it down with an Irish Car Bomb! These Cornell freaks are crazy - they seriously have drinking problems. They are also, without a single doubt in my mind, the best foosball players I have ever witnessed in my life. I don't know if I was too drunk or if they never have anything better to do but they worked wonders with foosball - literally juggling the balls between their players as if they were their fingers.

Excuse my poor language/typos.

I'm boring. I don't drink beer. I only cook with it.

Brilliant!

I'm not much of a beer drinker, but when I do get one, I'll get a pint of Guinness

I love foosball...used to play on Wednesday nights (Pub nights) in School. I used to be able to do push shots and pass between front players for the shot...but not well enough to dribble. Probably shoulda been studying more. Moulson Golden and Samuel Adams are OK.

Depends on the time of year, and what I may be eating with it. I try to match my beer with my meal, like wines. However, if I'm hanging out on the deck, or just having a few at a watering hole, I have pretty particular tastes.

In winter I like IPA's
Dogfish head 90 minute IPA
Victory Hop Devil
Magic Hat HIPA

In the Spring, I like pilsners, pretty much exclusively:
Bitburger
Spaten

As for Summer, I pretty much like hefe's (and a couple lighter beers):
Julius Echter Hefeweizen
Franzikaner Dunkel Weizen
Paulaner Weisse
Corona (gotta have fresh wedge of lime)
Speaking of fruit. I don't like fruit in my hefe beers.

In the Fall, I go for refreshing beers
Wachusett Blueberry Ale
Magic Hat #9


Those are just some of my favorites, I like a diverse list, but don't generally like porters, bitters, but I do like and occasional stout. Guinness (only on tap) and Murphys top my list.

It was quite the party.

Their variety and quality are amazing. By far, my favorite hands down. And if you like them strong, they have several from 8-12 alcohol%.

Yes! It's great beer. If you get a chance, try either the HIPA or the Dogfish head. Dogfish head makes a 60 minute IPA as well, but I like the 90 minute. It's a bit stronger/hoppier tasting. If I'm going to have an IPA, I want it really hoppy. Victory is strong, but the other two are a bit hoppier. Great IPA to have with a meal though, since it doesn't overpower it, which the other two probably would.

I like:
Heffenwiesen
Red Stripe
Hoegarden
Amstel Light
Moretti

I don't really care for dark beers, but the light ones i have fallen for. I also have grown to like many fine tequillas.

Guys did you know that the piece of lime you get with-for example-your Corona is not to put IN the beer, but to close the bottle and prevent mosquitos/insects from flying/falling in the bottle.

One of the better relaxng beers Ive had is a locally brewed beer in CO called Avalanche Ale.

Weekending purposes, its mostly Miller Light. Winter Ale or Summer Ale when I feel like being 'classy'...
