What's your favorite BEER?

A friend gave me half a case of Dos equis special lagar the other day. last night I tried one after a troegs double bock. I got to tell you it was very hard to finish. Nasty nasty stuff, it would be bland and tasteless if not for the chalky cardboard aftertaste. Taking a phrase from BB , they should try to find a way to put this stuff back into the skunk. If not the cat Ill try to pass the rest of it off on my friends who drink the light beer.

i like the light stuff this time of year. when i get a good sweat going i'll down a few coors banquet beers as a primer. tried pbr. gave me a wicked case of bloat. tried a heineken on tap. way better on tap no sour skunky after taste like the bottle. dos equis amber is a pretty good beer for the summer. if you like yuengling you'll like dos equis amber. my main beers wood be hoegaarden, victory's golden monkey or something from across the pond boddingtons and yuengling

OH no ,thats where i draw the line, if my beer is causing ED its days are numbered. Back in the day we used to use beer to make the not so hot girls look better. And to ward off PE. Ill have to convert to whiskey i guess.

whiskey's not a bad thing

Well...I guess it should be no surprise when munching on liquid flowers.

Becks was on sale last night at the beverage center. One of my "when it's on sale I buy it" beers.

Favorite beer? To many good ones to choose an absolute best but I havn't given up the search.

it's hard trying to pick the favorite one. favorite 10 maybe. just tried this tonight 12.95 for the bottle. it tastes like a beer that has a little more hop flavor than normal but finishes with a little bourbon.

Looks like the Hoe went down first.

Been in Ocean City, MD the last week. While a supposed micro-brew haven, I'm finding most of the local brewers have very poor taste in beer. They think Land Shark is good beer.

I disagree. Beer is a lot like wine, in which hype and price affect the common opinion of what is good. You can sell garbage to the average consumer, if you tell them it's a special brew. I see it every week in the craft pubs I frequent.

I think you both have valid points. Beer taste IS subjective, hence the reason beers taste runs the gamut. My tastes differ from many of my friends. I also believe there are folks whose likes are simply because of price and marketing.

I find the same beer can taste different on different days depending on what you ate before it. How thirsty you are and a lot of other variables. I usually need top bring my own beer to an outside event as most of the time they are serving some kind of light beer.

That Ovila is great on tap, pretty okay in a bottle, too. I grab some whenever I see it for sale.

I tried a Shock Top a couple days ago. It had a hint of citrus but not overdone. Good beer IMO.

So you didn't like Burley Oak? They have some brews on Nitro.

Didn't get there. Was hitting mostly local bars and restaurants, and the two bars at our hotel. Two meals out per day, and was surprised how little good craft brew I found on tap at local bars and restaurants. Most of them treat Yuengling like a premium beer.

BTW... I saw a HUGE cache of wood (many cords) along the side of the road, left by a trimming crew. Might be a good grab for someone in the area. It was all along the westbound side of route 90 near Ocean Pines or Showell.

Yea, anything in OC is a tourist trap, I don't even bother going there if I can, I usually head to Assateague. I guess we switched places this weekend, I was in Philly all weekend

I won't touch roadside wood, to many times I have been burned by termites or some other bug in the wood, most of the time it is Pine anyway.
