Beer Snobs Unite! 100+ IBU or GTFO

Looking forward to finally getting to try some Three Floyds Dark Lord Imperial Stout, quite possibly one of the most pain in the ass beers to get a hold of considering it's sold on one day per year and always sells out. I managed to snag a couple tickets to guarantee purchase this year though. Three weeks to go!

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.

How was this ascertained exactly? They wouldn't use different recipes, although taste can very due to however the water was sourced...maybe. I highly doubt the quality control would be any different. According to the infallible ;) wikipedia it doesn't even appear that the stuff is brewed in the States.

Stella Artois is brewed in Belgium (both in the plants of Leuven and Jupille) and the United Kingdom, as well as other countries, including Australia, and Ukraine.[3] Much of the brew exported from Europe is currently produced at InBev's brewery in Belgium, and packaged in the Beck's Brewery in Bremen, Germany. Stella Artois is also brewed in Abbotsford, Victoria by Foster's Group for the Australian market under license from InBev[citation needed]. In the United States, Stella Artois is imported and distributed by Anheuser-Busch.[4]

I'm going to stick by the old assertion that you can't polish a turd. ;)
 
Keep trying other beers, but keep going back to ye old faithful lager.

Nursing one of these just now:

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 :)

Fuck Kokanee Light, but Kokanee and Kokanee Gold (on tap) are the best. Nom nom nom. I'm pretty sure 76.7% of their sales go to me and my boyfriend hahaha.
 
^^ 76.7% ay?! =D
We've found (and consequently tried) Kokanee here in Aus too, it's nice! It was a while ago though, so I can't recall the exact taste. But I remember that we liked it :)
 
Who cares. Do you drink any or did you just come here to post about your town (wherever that is) being on some best of list (somewhere)? :p

the problem with most of these beers is that they're local, or regional, and most of us can't find them in our state/country.

aside from that, i'd say burning river is hands-down my fav beer.

The only way I am a beer snob is that I don't ever drink from a can or bottle. Ever.

I'd rather drink it from a childs cup with a crazy straw than stoop to that level of depravity.
 
Some kind of a glass is ideal, as it will better release the beer's particular bouquet.
A metal 'glass' can mar the flavor, so, er, glass glasses are preferred, but plastic sippy cups are indeed workable. I'm tired of drinking pretty much anything out of mason jars, just 'cause of the feel on the lips. Someone who cares a great deal about the type of class is quite likely a 'prick'.

The best beers I have ever had....

#1 Scalddies Noel, 2006
#2 Allagash Tripel
#3 An unkown microbrew.


The best 'cheap beer' on the market today is probably Fat Tire and the entire line from the New Belguim Brewing company.


Fuck Budweiser and cheap American aluminum canned crap....Blue Ribbon has character though. For the bottom of the barrel, I prefer it to the other brands.
