1. Yeungling lager.

[darkangel218]

2. ive never heard of it :/ is it yummy?

I forgot to mention, you must drink while answering this thread, otherwise it doesn't count!

[OriginalGeek]

20. You can get Yuengling at Publix*

It's probably my favorite "regular" beer - meaning when I don't spend extra for a treat. I'm not a fan of the big 3 (Bud, Coors, Miller) but craft and microbrews can get spendy so when I want a solid, great-tasting beer for everyday drinking it's Yuengling. A big plus is that most places that have Bud will also have Yuengling on tap. They started in Pennsylvania but I think they have a facility in Tampa too so that's why we can get it pretty regularly at good prices.


When I don't care what I'm spending I love Innis & Gunn cask-aged beer. So smooooooooooth and creamy it's like dessert. I also like pretty much everything I've ever had from the Magic Hat brewery.


*Assuming I remember correctly that you are in Central Florida.


And I'm not drinking as I type this but I'm waiting for my wife to get home so we can go have dinner before seeing Led Zeppelin's Celebration Day concert movie of the December 2007 reunion concert at the O2 arena in London. I'll be having Yuengling at my favorite Tex-Mex place.

[HopeHoops]

43. It's a little early for that, but okay. brb.

[HopeHoops]

44. Yes. It's yummy. It's also America's oldest brewery. Molson has the "NORTH America" title to that.

They make a lot of different brews, but Lager is in every bar you go to in PA (sort of like Old Style in the Chicago area). And I'm serious, I've never asked for a "Lager" and have someone look confused by the request - it means Yeungling Lager universally in this state (besides, most people can't pronounce "Yeungling" - it's close to "Ying-ling&quot .

[darkangel218]

46. Ok then i really have to try it. Original geek said Publix carries it

So I'll go look for it
Thanx!

[HopeHoops]

47. What state are you in?

[HopeHoops]

50. I couldn't find it there the last time I was in the state. I don't think they've gotten that far.

[charlie and algernon]

11. +1

[El Supremo]

24. It was good when I had it in Pensy last year.

But we don't get it in Colo.

[Jersey Devil]

28. with a second for Yuengling Black & Tan

Yuengling claims to be the oldest brewery in the US

[HopeHoops]

45. It is - and has operated continuously. They're looking to expand into other states.

[geardaddy]

3. Surly Furious

but it must be on tap.

Or the Guinness in Dublin.

[darkangel218]

6. I had alot of Stella when i visited UK

Also some Welsh beer made with chocolate! I forgot what its called.

FYI did you know beer is the oldest alcoholic beverage known to man kind?

[geardaddy]

8. What was the Welsh beer called?

Stella's very popular in the UK, and is increasingly popular here in the States.

I did know that!

[geardaddy]

14. I love Wales.

I've been several times and lived in Bangor for three months.

[digonswine]

7. You are correct!

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

19. I'll see your Surly Furious and raise you a Surly Darkness.

n/t

[geardaddy]

22. Oooh, that is good.

n/t

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

39. Yeah. I only had one glass two years ago...

...and I was like..."holy crap!"

I'm hoping to snag a bottle this year. I won't be able to make it to Darkness Day, but some of the liquor stores in my area will have a few bottles.

[geardaddy]

49. That right, it's a seasonal isn't it?

I know they have it on tap sometimes at the Blue Nile.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

55. Yep. Only on the 27th of October.

They sell for $18 a bottle at the brewery, but only the first 800 in line get a wristband.

Most people show up the night before and camp out.

[loli phabay]

4. murphys stout

[corksean]

57. Now you're pleasing me!

I was brought up on the stuff. Like Mother's Milk

[Rambis]

5. Guinness in country

This discussion is OVAH!

wonderful beautiful black velvety finish now that I am coeliac I cannot consume it anymore- Life has lost some of its luster

[geardaddy]

9. Agreed.

[KamaAina]

10. It's not America's fault that Guinness here doesn't cut it

well, in a way, it kind of is, because few drinking establishments here have nitrogen taps. That, rather than anything special about the Ould Sod, is what makes the difference.

[darkangel218]

15. I dont really like guinness

I should give it another chance I guess.

Beer rules!! X x x

[KamaAina]

13. Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Ale

'cause it's even sweet-fruity-hoppier than their IPA!

Also, it was introduced to me by a female beer enthusiast, at an historic saloon on the Oakland waterfront.

[Aristus]

17. Midas Touch Ancient Ale.

Made from a 3,000 year-old recipe and sporulated yeasts found in the tomb of the historical King Midas in modern-day Turkey. A "resurrected" brew of sorts. It has a velvety mouth-feel, fruity notes, and an almost overpoweringly malty finish. It's wonderful. Try it!

[KamaAina]

25. Nice! That's got New Belgium's 1554 beat all hollow.

Their recipe is a mere 450 years old (and reconstructed to boot), and as far as I know, all the ingredients are contemporary.

[benld74]

18. Foster's - Now That's a Bee-a!

[KamaAina]

23. I trust that response was in the sardonic spirit of the OP

Whatever claim Foster's ever had to being decent beer went bye-bye when they started brewing it over here. Yup, it's about as Aussie as Outback Steakhouse.

[darkangel218]

21. The 3 World Rules of drinking beer!

1. Never start drinking beer if you have less than 6 bottles!

2. Always finish your beer! If you don't, you will be subjected to punishment by the galactic counsel of beer worshipsers!!

3. If you're religious, its ok. But the first and most prevelant god is the God of Beer

[ohiosmith]

26. Nearly everyone I have seems to be the best at the time. Maybe it is!

[NightWatcher]

27. My favs are Terrapin Hopsecutioner, Dales Pale Ale, or Intuition I-10

Terrapin Monk's Revenge is very good too, but too strong to have more than 2

[opiate69]

29. I recently had a variety 4 pack of this...

http://beervana.blogspot.com/2006/08/fraoch-and-ebulum-ancient-beers-of.html?m=1


Man, good, good stuff...

[HappyMe]

30. Uh oh!

I drank a bunch of the unsanitary water beer last night.

I gotta say, it was good.

[pokerfan]

31. Manny's Pale Ale - Georgetown Brewing Company

Easily my favorite ale. Rich, complex and hoppy, but not insanely hoppy like so those IPAs these days. You will find it on tap throughout the PNW.

[Release The Hounds]

32. New Glarus Dancing Man Wheat

An f'ing awesome hefeweizen

[Mosby]

33. Hop Rising

Best bang for your buck, 9% abv for 9 bucks/sixpack.

Besides that one Mirror Pond and Stranger are my current faves. I also started drinking Longboard when I want something lighter.

[AtomicKitten]

34. Red Stripe.

[hay rick]

35. Pilsner Urquel.

The only reason that counts- I like it.

[kwassa]

36. Whatever is cold and in front of me

as the saying goes, I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

40. Especially if somebody else is buying! (nt)

[Xipe Totec]

37. Six Point - Bengali Tiger

http://sixpoint.com/beers/core/bengalitiger

[EastTennesseeDem]

38. Duvel.

Why?

Because...well...it just is.

Taste it and you will understand. An absolute explosion of flavor.

[Throd]

41. Bang for the buck, I'll have three 24 ounce cans of Steel Reserve 211.

You can still get hammered for under $5.00 in the year 2012!

[cyberswede]

42. Herold Midnight Wheat or Black Lager

Both are fantastic! I don't think they can be found in the US any longer.

http://www.pivovar-herold.cz/

[AsahinaKimi]

51. well its my favorite...

And they might be related to me... Asahi ...Asahina.. its close.

[geardaddy]

52. I do like the super dry!

[AsahinaKimi]

53. hai hai!!

Su-pa du-rai!!

[Taverner]

54. Russian River's Pliny the Elder

Double IPA, but not a bitter bomb. Lots of hops, but these are the more floral, marijuana-like hop flavors.

[Initech]

56. Arrogant Bastard

[T_i_B]

58. The 2 best beers I've had this year......

....are Oakham Citra and Buxton Imperial Black IPA.

Was at a Green Hop festival last night in Sheffield.

[LWolf]

59. Home-brewed.

Nothing else comes close.

After that, there are some micro-brew porters & lagers that are pretty good, too. I don't have a "best." I'm fond of the local Black Butte Porter.
