I seem to keep Ziegen Bock in the fridge more than anything else now. Have one in front of me as I type this! Shiner Bock and Amber Bock aren't bad either.

Favorites had to be both the Heffe Weisens and Crystal Weisens I drank while in Germany.

I tend to like the red & dark beers if I can find one that is not bitter. The best I had was a local "dunkel" brew in Austria. Dark, but no bitter aftertaste at all. It has ruined me for all other beer, and I cannot remember the name of it. It was brewed by the owner of the restaurant.

+1 on Crown Royal

I'm not fond of beer either... But I do like Leinie's Berry Weiss and love Woodchuck Cider. Had Labott's Velvet Cream Porter once (long time ago) and thought that wasn't too bad, but I have never been able to find it in the states.

If I do have to drink beer, I like to dilute it with bloody mary mix.

A trip to Kentucky and a jaunt on the Bourbon trail opened up the world of Bourbons to me and that is now my drink of choice...

 

[2004Ralli//art]

not really a beer...but just out of curiousity has anyone heard of a shot called a "naked pretzel" if so, whats in it?!

i had just a few at an olive garden a couple months ago and every bar and restaraunt i go to have never heard of it...

it kinda tastes like a banana...but i wouldn't recommend taking 12 in about 20 min haha

There's a place here in San Diego that has Franzikaner. I tried the Helles but it tasted pretty off. Especially compared to the beers I had in Germany. I think air got into the line... or they hadn't cleaned it or osmething... such a shame

 

[Smittyboy]

Wow... The beer world has been thrust upon me... That being said, I have limited experience with beer. Don't really like what I've had, but haven't had anything worth drinking. Knob Creek is my fav drink of all time... Love that aftertaste. I know it's not a beer, but my love of this drink warrants mentioning. I'm curious about american guiness vs. true irish guiness. I'll have to try some on my trip across the puddle this summer. Stopping in Ireland, Scotland, and England. So while there what would you guys recommend I make sure to try? Only been saving since sopho year high school, so wanna make it worth while.

OK, I'll have to finally jump in here. I don't want to sound like a drunk, but beer is my true addiction. Smittyboy, you live in Wisconsin, go try some New Glarus beers, they are only available in Wisconsin. For those of you who think you don't like beer, well, you probably haven't read this far anyway. There are beers out there for every taste, from coffee, clove, cherry, peach, apple, coconut, peanut, sweet, sour, bitter, oakey, and everything in between.

I have been a homebrewer for nearly 20 years. I have spent many days at beer festivals, including the Great American Beer Festival in Denver CO with 2052 beers available.

Some of my favorites:

Stone Smoked Porter
Stone Ruination
Oskar Blues Gordon
New Holland Dragons Milk
Chimay Grand Reserve
Cantillon St. Lamvinus
La Chouffe Houblon Chouffe
Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Mayflower Porter (Mayflower only available in MA right now)
Mayflower IPA
Weinstephaner
Dogfishhead 90 Minute IPA
Southern Tier Creme Brulee
Boulder Hazed and Infuzed

And of course, most of the beers I brew. Watermelon Wheat seems to be a favorite of my friends and family.

Cheers:beer:

 

[Hellgate]

Is the Watermellon Wheat a sweet beer like some of the raspberries can be?

 

[The Toecutter]
