Beer Snobs Unite! 100+ IBU or GTFO

Sorry guys, but if Budweiser, Miller, or Yeungling is your favorite beer, then you are not a beer snob.
 
Is Corona the only beer you would usually add a wedge of lime/lemon too? I dunno, but this one I'm sipping now is absolutely delicious. I have heard in Mexico they 'wedge' the wedge in the neck of the bottle to stop flies getting in your beer!

I'll put a lime wedge in any lager beer, or malt liquor.

Not in a dark beer.
 
Can you buy real ale in a pub in America?
Aren't their laws against it because its still alive and not pasteurised?
 
Sorry I am a stranger to the fluid ounce unit of measurement. The large bottles I'm talking about are 750ml or 75cl or I think 26.5 oz.

$10US is not too bad for a large Duvel.

I found out that in australia the importers have to pay 100% tax on the total cost of importing a bottle. So if a bottle costs $5 in Europe and $2 to import thats $7 + $7 tax = $14. This is the case for wine anyway, not too sure about beer but am guessing its the same sort of deal.
 
i haven't sifted through all the posts... but i'm going to ask anyway...

any lovers of good porters? i try to enjoy a good porter anytime i'm outside of my element (aka my local area), but if anyone has access to any great lakes microbrewery beers and likes porters... try the edmund fitzgerald, it's unfuckingbelievable!

typically i drink porters and stouts, though. :)
 
I wouldnt say Im a lover of Porters by any stretch but I wish Boags brewery would make more batches of the Honey Porter. That stuff was delicious

Ummm I swear I posted something about Guinness a few pages back but I can't find it....

Anyway, I love the occasional stout or porter! I usually can't have more than 1 or 2 drinks in one sitting, but it's nice to indulge every now and then :)
 
im in san diego and im a big fan of some of the local breweries out here, Lost Abbey/ port brewing and ale smith are my favs. im glad to see a thread regarding microbrews on bluelight!

+1 We are spoiled in this neck of the woods. Port is pouring some of the finest in the country methinks.

I also like the Marin Brewing IPA -- a big West Coast IPA, yet very balanced hops and malt.

Sorry for the crap quality, it was taken with my phone in pretty low light but you should get the jist. ;)

Pretty good bottle selection despite it being really expensive for a dive. Fuckin DC prices.
 
I've been sipping (read: chugging) Dogfish Head's Olde School 15% Barley Wine.

Drank a 6% porter, then broke open the DFH... I can say on an empty stomach, that I'm thoroughly buzzed/a little drunk right now.

Worth the $4 to experience 15%.
 
Just picked up two cases of Leffe Blonde and two 6-packs of Molson XXX. Not the snobbiest beers in the world, but damn good.
 
Mmm Stella...

I had arrogant bastard ale the other day and that was very tasty indeed. Lagunitas is prob up there with my favorites as well... oh california how i miss you
