just had an amazing cider beer from michigan. cant think of the name at the moment


also love bells oberon

great lakes christmas ale turns me in to an alcoholic for about 2 months or thatas at least how i feel cause i always want it
 
New Belgium's Ranger IPA is pretty tasty while their spring offering, "Mighty Arrow," a pale ale, is less full-bodied and satisfying.

I've been drinking a TON of Sam Adams' Boston Ale though. It's always a great go-to beer when your local Harris Teeter begins charging $15+ for 6-packs of Dale's Pale Ale in cans...a fucking outrage
 
place down the road has $2.50 domestics monday nights... these aren't macro domestics though!

-oaked arrogant bastard
-north coast old rasputin
-stone IPA
-ommegang
etc!
 
i don't consider myself a beer snob by any means but stella artois? really? the only beer that has ever really stood out for me is the lovely delirium tremens. pricey for a lush like me but worth it.

This is the beer SNOB thread. So, yeah, people can be wrong. GTFO with that Stella and come back with something good. Stella is the Blue Moon of lagers. Barf.
 
Oh really?? Well mate, I've been a fanatic of beer since I was a twitch in my dad's nutsack and consequently stumbled out of my mother's womb, so I feel adequately authorised to comment on which beers I prefer. Sorry if I don't feel the need to partake in the tugging of each other's cocks over who drinks the most obscure or most expensive beverage. I likes what I likes, so you gtfo kind sir :)
 
Off topic!!! Your post is lacking a distinctive snob quality. :p
 
Ummm, do you guys actually get a different Stella in the US?? It could be possible, as an example here in Aus we get Becks Imported, which is good, and Becks unimported, which is rubbish. Maybe you guys just get the dregs/shit version of Stella in America?

There is no way we are talking about the same beer if you think Stella is that repulsive.

It's cool, don't worry about it. I like some crappy beer too. Yuengling, Pabst, the occasional Budweiser.
 
i <3 yuengling. tho i think part of it is that i can only have it when i travel to the east coast which builds up the anticipation. i also regularly consume coors light because i am cheap.

i just had the flying dog raging bitch which i really enjoyed. its a belgian IPA, which makes is hoppy and sweet at the same time. its strong, 8-9% but easily drinkable.
 
Best bottle ever:

I can't recall what the actual beer is like, but the bottle is cool.
At $100 a case though, it's not your everyday drinking beer. I think the exorbitant cost is because of the elaborate bottle design :D

It will be different, all the UK's stella is brewed inside the UK, its not a Belgian export. I'd imagine it'd be the same for the US. That said, I enjoy Stella, preferably poured from the tap rather than out of a can obviously and I know alot of other people that appreciate good beer who also like Stella.

Stella and Kronenburg are my favourites in terms of basic beers you can find in any pub. Hobgoblin, Furstenburg, Asahi Super Dry, Weihenstephaner and Leffe are superior beers but harder (though not impossible) to get on tap. If I'm drinking at home and am looking particularly for taste over cost/volume then I'll go for Duvel, Weihenstephaner, Chimay or Hobgoblin.

Its quite fitting that I found this thread today as it'll have been two months tomorow morning since my last drink. I've got half a dozen bottles each of Weihenstephaner Kristall and Asahi as well as some Duvel and Chimay double for tomorow. Something tells me that after a month of sobriety (no 'hard' drugs either) I may have become a bit of a lightweight.

Yes, I actually researched this, then had a discussion with one of my best mates who's British, and a beer-lover, and incidentally enough a lover of Stella. We ascertained that yes, the Stella in the US is different from the Stella in the UK and indeed in Australia. They are all brewed in their own country so will obviously have a different taste and quality from each other.

Duvel is pretty amazing, it was good to drink some decent beer after a couple of dry months as opposed to getting started again on bog-standard lager. In June though I'll be in Amsterdam though, where all the pubs have a decent range of Belgian beers. It was there that I first got interested in trying new unusual types of beer and it'll be fun to redo it with a bit of knowledge under my belt.
