Non-Football: Beers
by Josh Roberts (ESGB) on Jul 28, 2010 7:58 PM EDT
Email
PrintOn the advice of my legal team, I have been told to make a beer poast.
Standard procedure here guys, poast a top 3 or 5 beers in the world, and compare, contrast and maybe we can all broaden our drinking horizons a lil bit.
I'll go first.
1. Coniston Brewery - Oliver's Light Ale
A light straw coloured, easy drinking mild. Subtly hopped with Whitbread's Golding variety hop, and brewed using only the finest malt and a generous amount of demerara sugar.
A "meal" beer, if I am going to sit down for a few hours and talk to people over several pints, this is my weapon of choice, drink it slow, savour all the flavour and enjoy the company.
2. Desperados Beer
A personal favourite for the "pre-bev" these will get you drunk far quicker than your average beer. The tequila in them is about 1 shot per bottle, which means that you get 2 for 1 drinks!
A good taste surprisingly with mainly the beer coming through but for some reason the tequila still tasting damn good.
3. Tsingtao
I was torn between this beer and Corona, I love Corona with a lime in the neck but without it, the taste just disappears. Tsingtao is a Chinese beer, that is still brewed in China in Qingdao. I love the taste of it, it's light and refreshing, I take these to the beach or to the barbecue or whatever in summer.
Now, give me your say BTSC!

Well this is apropo
FIRST!
Sam Adams Blackberry Witbier is my flavor of the month. Generally not a big fan of fruity beer but the Blackberry in this brew is subtle enough to not over power the palate.

actually the first was the spammer :(
I don’t do fruity beers at all, apart from a lime in my Corona, but that enhances it’s flavour.
Quick question, is cider popular in the US?

Yeah, that douche
Ciders have gained some popularity. Woodchuck Cider in particular comes to mind. I don’t favor them.
Can you get Sam Adams in England? That’s probably a dumb question, but if you can, give the B-berry Whitier a shot. Not your typical fruit laden beer I tells ya.

Sam Adams, it's not really available unless you really want to get some
and I’ve not been able to find the B-berry version on the net, albeit in 5 minutes.
Ciders over here are as popular as beer and it pisses me off, Cider is a girls drink, a fuity version of beer. It doesn’t help that my 2 best friends both love cider and hate beer, so they give me shit constantly.

love Yunegling
Though many New Yorkers would scoff at that.
The Texan in me still loves Shiner Bock. So good.
Despite living out in micro-brew country, not a huge fan. Just not much of a beer snob. Will drink and enjoy just about anything that’s not light.

I freaking love Tsingtao...
And got overly excited to see it cracked your list. It’s really one of the most surprisingly good beers I’ve ever had. As you said, very light, great on a hot day, it’s like if Sprite gave you a buzz.
By contrast, I’m also a Guinness guy, currently the only beer in my fridge. I drink Extra Stout, as opposed to Draught, but don’t mind the latter. They’re essentially the same.
Utica Club! Brewed in my home city, and was the first beer sold after prohibition ended.
I’d be remiss if I failed to mention Iron City, which is my brew of choice in Da ’Burgh.

Do they even make Iron City in anything but cans?
The only redeeming feature is the Steelers on the can….

Be careful slasher, Schlitz was a Western PA brewery!!
Olde English, huh? Was that a 40 oz job? Hurricane I have never even heard of. Ever try Lone Star from Texas? Nasty
heh
Often if a Canadian beer is worse south of the border it is because it has been brewed in the US with by a different brewmaster* (I am assuming they still have them).

Great job aspiration...
If I could do it again, I would try to give that a go.
I’m pretty sure this stuff was brewed in Canada, then dumped in the river, and re-bottled once the river got to the US. Ugh.

you would know this place “The Flying Saucer” right off of Glendale st. in Raleigh, there are 500 different beers all on tap. if you become a member you allowed to drink as much as you want obviously, but to have a golden saucer with you name put on it and for it to be put on the wall your limit is trying up to 3 different beers each day. and once you hit that 500 you become a celebrity in the local pub!

I used to drive a beer truck and could never understand their slogan here in the States...
And I quote, “it tastes the same here as it does over there.” In my late teens and early 20’s, I used to think WTF does that mean?
Some foreign beers
are brewed to a different taste in the US than they are where they originated. Moosehead is a definate example of this.

At the time, just being old enough to drink was enough for me.
I wasn’t wise enough to question that, only that the slogan seemed so off-center. Now I know at least a little more.
Like that the Coors products sold on the east coast of the US? Not from the Rockies like in the commercial, but from Virginia.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing…
yup
just like Becks (brewed in Bremen, Germany, as well as in Philly). Though it isn’t particularly good in either country.

He mouthed threats to opposing running backs that would make even the most hardened Catholic nun weep for humanity. He fulfilled those threats with coldblooded suplex tackles.

Hansa
Dortmunder brewed under the German Purity Law of 1516 whose ingredients are:
Water, Barley Malt, Hops, Hop Extract
I did a little research and found it to be the beer of choice among German punks, it is inexpensive, the German equivalent of PBR but it tastes great. A proper Pilsner, not very hoppy, clean finish. AND it comes in 17 oz bottles.
Tical!

noooo
I mean yes, it dose taste good, but the single most common beer among German punks (from my experience) is this:
under 4 Bucks for the entire case, 24 bottles of a half liter each… But also tastes disgusting.
Newcomer of the cheap beers: 5.0er
even cheaper then Oettinger, but also even more disgusting.
I may have overshot (TWHS)
I think it’s the most popular among Dortmund punks.

here we go! This might become my favorite poast of all time.
My top 5, nationally and internationally:
1. Flensburger Pilsner (short Flens)
Exchangable with Jever Pilsner, both delicious German beer. Rather bitter for the American taste, but if you grow up with it, you learn to love it. Especially on a warm summer night… But I am gonna stop there, I get too sad about sitting in an office right now. I will stop with the German beers there, because nobody else knows them. Let me know if you need more suggestions.
2. Desperado’s. See English’s original poast.
3. Kilkenny.
mentioned already above. Simply put, my favorite beer from the Western end of Europe (read: England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland). Great taste.
4. Heineken.
There’s pretty much a cult about this beer in Germany, and while I don’t get that, it is actually rather good. I have been a mass consumer of it in college, because it is the only beer available in Western PA that comes close to the northern German style of brewing in terms of its bitterness and overall taste. If you don’t like Heineken, don’t even bother with Flens, Jever, Astra, and the other northern German beauties :)
5. Yuengling.
I just had to put an American beer on there, and what better than Yuengling? From its style of brewing, it’s nothing like the kind of beer I am used to from back home, which is a huge advantage because light beer in the US… well, no offense, but it tastes like beer mixed with water to me. Yuengling is best on tap in my opinion, a great drink to have when at the bar.
Sorry if I offended anyone with my opinion about light beer, of course it’s all about what you grow up with. I just (and maybe other Europeans will agree with me) shudder at the thought of light beer… Might just be me tho.
I have a good friend who is from Flensburg
and he introduced me to that stuff, it is wonderful. He also recently brought me a bottle of the Braasch 54, an amazing rum made there. One of the oldest rum distilleries in the world in Germany, who knew? Delicious. Good stuff.
no kidding
somebody that knows Flens? That’s a first in the US :D I don’t like Rum tho, but i’ve definitely heard of Braasch. Anyways, tell your friend he’s living in a great beer city.
[img]http://www.jervismobilebars.co.uk/img/envilleales.jpg[/img]
Any of the above, . . .
Enville Ale and the Ginger Beer are awesome for this time of year . . . .
My regular fix
would be miller lite. I can drink a lot of it and still maintain status of functioning alcoholic.
Tucher is one of my favorite wheat beers, without the orange..but I’ve had a checkered past with the hangovers with that stuff.

Only one entrance, through a narrow tunnel… and the organization actually comes out and says “it wasn’t our fault”. a damn disgrace to the victims.
Caught it on BBC News...

apart from some brews that are meant to be drunk warm, can’t quite remember which one I had, but it was served warm and was good.
Also, for warm beers, try going to a festival in 105 degree heat and no way of cooling your beers. I was on warm beer until I succumbed and bought an ice box.

any site that rates a bock beer (or even worse, doppelbock) among the best beers in the world is a little suspect to me. I have to admit though, I dont know any of the beers, so I wouldnt know if the rest is accurate or not. On a sidenote though, there sure is a huge American beer dominance (with the site from the US), followed by Germany.. don’t know what to make of that.
I know
I always assumed that Germany and UK beers were the best. Always had the impression the US was behind due to it’s young brewing history.

Yet, some of the best unknown beers that are kind of ‘insider tips’ come from Poland, the Czech Republic, and eastern Europe in general, but none of them is listed on there.
I know
even one of the most famous, czech brews isn’t. Budvar, which in my opinion is top 10 on anybody’s list, can’t be faulted.

#1 beer is Black Rabbit Porter, only at Edgefield Brewery, Troutdale, Or.
Love that stuff.
Guinness, the cans with the CO2 deal are the best canned beer.
I’m a Indian Pale Ale guy first though. Fearless Brewery, Esticada, Or. has an IPA that is out of this world.
Bridgeport Brewery Blue Heron Pale Ale at one time was the best bottled beer I’d ever had. That was 25yrs ago and it still holds it’s own in a world of great beer.
Bridgeport also has a XX stout on tap that, with a slice of there garlic, fetta, and artichoke pizza, is a meal. Best stout on tap.
I always sort my beers by type and container.
MMM Beeeer, Douh!
If you buy a foreign made product you give money to a person who will not be buying an American made product that you get paid to make. Think about it next time you're at the store.
Edgefeild McMinnamens?
I know where that is. I like their Terminator Stout. Not too sold on the Hammerhead, though…
You know Troutdale and “Incest-acada”, that means you must live nearby…Ever go watch Steelers games at the A & L? 60th and Division. A friend of mine owns it, Angelo.
As opposing quarterbacks crouched under center, Lambert pumped his legs up and down, thumping the turf like a war drum. He mouthed threats to opposing running backs that would make even the most hardened Catholic nun weep for humanity. He fulfilled those threats with coldblooded suplex tackles. He may or may not have chain-smoked at halftime, depending on who you ask.
For sixty minutes each Sunday, Jack Lambert was a demon.
I live about 2-1/2 miles due west of Edgefield.
I’ve never gone to the A & L for a game. I’ve been playing soccer on Sundays for years and now have Sunday Ticket. I get enough beer after soccer games at home make more sense.
A Ruby on a hot day sure is nice also.

You should come down to the bar sometime
There’s close to 100 of us some weeks. That DJ Bozak is a Steelers fan and comes down.

I think I will.
I’ll buy you a beer.
Have to check out my fall schedules, all of them, and work a game or two in.
Network TV games are best since I’m not paying for those anyway.

Sounds good.
They basically close off one entire half of the bar, with 3 gigantic tv’s, all playing the game. With NFL Sunday Ticket, so there’s no chance of missing a game.
They also do a raffle at half time. I’ve seen them give away jerseys. There was a Lambert one, Jack Ham, Franco Harris, ETC…They do other stuff too, my wife won a pink Terrible Towel, I won a Steelers X-mas tree ornament. All sorts of wild shit.

Plenty of cold bottles waiting for me at all times. Also been known to enjoy Harp and Pacifica. Chose Goose Island 312 at the concert last nite. Man, I’m getting thirsty!

I'm not too much of a beer guy anymore, but....
That’s really all I can think of right now…Like I said before, I’m more of a liquor drinker…

Ehh
Go natty or Beast. They sell so much natty at #1 they basically give it away for free. Can’t beat those prices. 10 bucks for a 30? Yes please.

Dos Equis is two thumbs up

Franco made that play because he never quit on the play. He kept running, he kept hustling. Good things happen to people who hustle."
anything by Highland Brewing Company
small brewer in western North Carolina. Great beer. Based in Asheville, NC (small town of 60,000-80,000 people where I live) which recently won Beer Town, USA…..or something like that. Plus for my town? yes…..shameless? yes….
I also like Sam Adams, like most people here….
Don't know if I can rank them
Guiness Draft – (or draft in a can)
Fort Garry Dark – http://www.fortgarry.com/
Propeller Bitters – http://www.drinkpropeller.ca/beers/7-Bitter
Standard Lager – a classic from my teen years. The label is similar to Bud http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/molson-standard-lager/95613/
Beck/Heineken/Moosehead – All slightly different but for me similar. Preference left to right
Paulaner – not the wheat beers
Grolsch – similar to B/H/M but not quite the same
Sleeman’s Cream Ale – they make several good beers but this has been my personal choice.
I have left dozen’s of excellent brews of this list. Some that will never be on it…
Almost any major American and, increasingly, Canadian beer (I don’t know if it is my tastes are changing or if the formulas are but they are what they used to be). Labatt’s Blue is one beer that I never really could stand… or should I say couldn’t stand me.
