"Robert " wrote:Hey dumbass, I’ve just decided that we have to meet up sometime to drink beer. I will bring Indian Pale Ale and bitters from two norwegian micro breweries, you will promise not to bring anything associated with Millers.
Yay!!! IPAs rock!!! OK, I will bring Three Floyd’s Alpha King (an american pale) and then my summer fav’s…Bell’s Oberon (an american wheat, and although I’m not typically a fan of wheat beer, this is fantastic), and some Flying Dog Tire Biter Golden Ale (name says it all). Me thinks you will be impressed with what the finer american beers have to offer
Oh yeah, thanks for the dumbass compliment turd-knocker
"King Tubby " wrote:Brooklyn Lager or Fuller’s ESB, if I’m at one of two places I tend to frequent, and am settling in for the long haul.I’m only familiar with Red Hook’s ESB and from what I understand ESB are very temperature sensitive? All the one’s I have ever had were horribly skunked (or maybe this is just ESB beer in general?). I will have to give this a whirl.

All the one’s I have ever had were horribly skunked (or maybe this is just ESB beer in general?). I will have to give this a whirl.Hmmmmm……don’t know about them being extra temperature sensitive. Red Hook went way downhill after Budweiser (Buttwiper) took over the company a decade or so ago, so that might be a problem (I loved Red Hook beers when I first had them when visiting CA over 10 years ago, and continued to drink them once they began to be distributed on the east coast, but suddenly every six pack and pint I had tasted shitty and weak — exactly when Buttwiper bought them out. Bastards.) ESBs are slightly sweeter, fuller versions of classic English bitters, which tend to be hardy, no-nonsense brews, yet light on the palate. They’re "session beers," meaning that they’re designed for all-day drinking — not too heavy or sweet, and not high-alcohol like IPAs. Fullers is the most readily available English ESB in the States, and I suspect elsewhere in the world too.
Just typing this is making my mouth water.

I like visiting Canada because their beer is stronger then american beer.Tubby-thanks for the heads up
Girl-Start looking into microbrews, many fine american beers are easily pushing 8% or more
Robert-If I make it to merry ole England before the years out, you’re on.

You know Kurticus, I used to always drink MGD. I thought it was a great tasting beer. But recently I’ve been drinking nothing but Guiness, I don’t know what it is, its like candy to me. Anyhow I had an MGD for the first time the other night and I must admit it tasted like shit. I couldn’t even finish it. I’m starting to think I should just move to Europe and hang out with Robert, the beer seems to be so much better there.

I don’t like anything colored pink
That just stinks…it’s not for meBeers:
The normal "keep on drinking" beers (all about 5%):
1. Rodenbach, red, slightly sour beer, Belgium
2. Hoegaerden white beer, Belgium
3. Kilkenny Irish Red, Ireland
4. Christoffel Blond, unfiltered lager beer, Holland
5. Walliser Bier, lager, Switzerland (brilliant Swiss marketing concept: they also sell this stuff as "Blonde 25" in small, trendy bottles, at nearly 3 times the price of your normal glass of lager, and they get away with it, brilliant….
)The heavy stuff:
1. Westmalle Tripel, trappist 10%, Belgium
2, Westvleteren Abt, trappist 12%, Belgium
3. La Chouffe, 8%, with definite "keep on drinking" tendencies, until you try to stand up….

Rich-You don’t have to go there to get "real" Guinness. A good deal of the Guinness served in the states is imported directly from Dublin. Here, see for yourself…http://www.guinness.com/global/story/world/”>http://www.guinness.com/global/story/world/
Tonas-Microbrew. I’m telling you all, the american beer scene is bursting at the seams with very very good beer.
All-I’m not a huge fan of Miller Light. This has mostly been an ongoing joke to ruffle Robert’s feathers. I do drink it now and then. But at some point, dropping $8 bucks for a six of dank gets to be expensive. Especially when other people are the ones over drinking it. Granted they bring there own as well, but still. Also, dank all the time ain’t good for the body, the pounds pack on quickly. So every now and then, a nice watery light beer is a good thing. You ever tried playing a drinking game with say, Guinness?
Believe me, I would drink Guinness til the cows come home, but that bloated feeling and nasty Guinness farts for the next 2 days ain’t my idea of fun.
And to clear the record, I don’t drink, a lot. I do enjoy a fine crafted beer or two maybe once or twice a week. I’m usually driving myself, so someone has to be responsible. Except on game day Saturday’s for college football, drinking is a given, but responsibly (not to get drunk), and that is only 10 weeks out of the year. Every now and then, say every 2 months, an evening of heavier drinking is fun if someone will give me a lift, it’s fun to drink more then 2 beers in one setting. And once a year, coming up in April, we buy a keg of dank (9 years running now) and drink until the sun rises to celebrate another year of life come and gone and to celebrate the friends of old and friends of new, and hell just living

Kurticus,
I think denile is one of the signs, you may need some help with your problem, c’mon pull it together man.

I have a couple friends who make their own wine. Free wine from your friends = awesome.Guiness farts
My only gripe with beer is having to pee every 5 seconds. Maybe I’ll take a tip from that crazy astronaut lady and wear a diaper next time I’m out on the town."The return of Kurticus " wrote:Girl-I’ll trade you some homemade wine for some of your homemade shine
