I'm enjoying a North Coast Brewing Co. Old stock ale. Very tasty brew weighing in at 11.9%! yum.
Watchahavin?
-
Crown Royal on the rocks.
40% alcohol - boo-yah!
-
Coors Light! Chasing a martini, though.
-
Shiner Bock by the pool. Finally, a good use of a hot day!
-
Shiner +1, good drinking beer.
OK, a warning. I got sucked in by marketing. In the store I saw a 12 of Dundee. It was an assortment pack, had pilsner, IPA, bock and something else. Sounded good, variety, and had a great looking case and labels. Chilled them up, cracked them open......ughhhh. Dreck, pure nasty in a bottle. Stay away. I tried one of each and don't know what the heck to do with the other 8.

Hum.......i think most of the Dundee stuff is pretty good. But had a Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA with a calzone for dinner.......hop heaven!
-
Fat Tire but only one. B-day tomorrow and then a beer-b-que on Sunday with about 40 friends. It's possible I will get enough beer this weekend. Maybe.

My experience is similar with other packaged variety packs. A few good ones and a bunch of stuff they vacuumed up off the brewery floor.
-
Ooh... I think a Fat Tire or two is just what I need to clean up the palate.

Our Kroger has a neat deal. Lots of singles and empty six pack cartons. Mix and match what you want. Unfortunately, their price point is lower than a six pack of some of the brands, such as Tsing Tao, a very good Chinese beer. It's fairly light with a hint ginger or something. So people are "mix and matching" off the single shelf to get a better price than the Tsing Tao!

Oh to be able to buy cold beer in a grocery store. Freekin Oklahoma (and I typed more and took it back)

Silver bullets here tonight...

Fat Tire... Nope not in Oklahoma. Had some in Gunnison two years ago. Good beer. Happy Birthday! 40 friends wow! What's that like?
-
Guiness extra stout.
-

Mildly crazy with hints of total lunacy. This is the Hash House Harriers running group that I've been a part of about forever. Google it, but summarized, we follow a trail from beer stop to beer stop and then have a party afterwards. We refer to ourselves as "A drinking club with a running problem."
-
Beer = breakfast drink.
-
Coors Light! Chasing a martini, though.
:pukeface:

:pukeface:
I wasn't aware that coors still existed?
-
"A drinking club with a running problem."
Can I join if I don't run? I can drink pretty good.

Pliny the Elder. Great beer from the Russian River Valley, CA. Hint of pine.
-

Yes, but we much prefer the non-running members to be female and good looking.

Yes, it does and tastes like beer which is why I like it. I don't like beer that doesn't taste like beer. I don't like odd flavors. I don't like the micro-breweries and their twists. I guess I'm just simple. My wife tells me that all the time. I might be convinced to like other beers. I do like Guinness but that's not 'beer' as I define it.

Can't wait to move to PA! Not a very good selection of beers in OK! Boulevard is the only one of those I've seen around here........and it was just their wheat beer. I too appreciate the hops!

Must be it...I like moonshine and Saki as well.

Moonshine......got some friends in them there mountains of Virginia? ;D
Back in my younger days, my friend's dad was a scientist and had pure laboratory alcohol in one of those big brown glass jugs. That was an experience! Does that count as moonshine?

I'm in Tulsa and we have a few good stores with great selections. But Oklahoma has weird laws and we plain can't get things that don't come from the only 3 distribution places allowed by the state? At least that is how I heard it... Where are you?

Yes, it does and tastes like beer which is why I like it. I don't like beer that doesn't taste like beer. I don't like odd flavors, LIKE HOPS. I don't like the micro-breweries and their twists AT CREATING TRUE REPRESENTATIONS OF HISTORIC RECIPES, or inventing even better style specific brews with water, barley, and hops, in various combinations. I guess I'm just simple. My wife tells me that all the time. I might be convinced to like REAL beers. I do like Guinness but that's not 'beer' as I define it.
fixed that for you Jim..... ;)
HMMMMM, last time I judged BEER at a brewing competition, there were 23 different "styles" of BEER, and if you add Mead, and cider's, which are still classed as "brewed" the list tops at 28 styles, with each style containing up to a dozen "sub-catagories".......(if added up total 80 subs)
Stout is BEER. Coors, is beer also, albeit one specific type, tailored to mass production, and consumer priced sales.....
Beer is beer.
Coors comes under style 1A-lite american lager......open your palate bro, 22 more styles left to sample, and 79 more sub catagories......... 8)
Just some BEER is actually made to a specific "parameter", which can be judged and defined as fitting it's style, and HISTORIC recipe.

Just drank my last Alaskan Amber, brought it home from Alaska to Florida on the C-14. Great beer!!

I'm in SW OK around Lawton. And yes the weird laws keep it kinda limited. There is good beer to be had, but just a limited selection.

Great thread! Looks like there are several IPA freaks here! I'm one for sure, here are a few of my 'easy to get' favourite ones in my area. (Victoria, BC)

You made my brane hurt.... :banghead:

Being on a budget, I have to choose wisely. JW Dundee's Honey Brown is the least expensive darker beer here. $5.99/6. They've been reintroducing some beers from the 60's lately using the original recipes, pilsners, not bad on a hot day after cutting the grass, but not for sipping.
-
Just had a marvelous evening grilling limed chicken on the deck with a Yuengling in hand. Yuenling is another fine beer made in Pottsville, PA.
-
For some unknown reason Yuengling has been unavailable in Ohio since time began, no one knows why. This summer though, they've gotten the ok to distribute in Ohio. I love their Black and Tan and can't wait till it comes to Cleveland as its inexpensive and good tasting to me.
-
Back in the early 80's, you could not buy Coors east of the Mississippi River (I'm in GA). So when I went WEST of the Miss., on trips, I'd bring it back by the case. Yes, just like Smokey and the Bandit. When they started selling it here, it suddenly didn't tast as good.

Speaking of weird liquor laws. We were in Utah on vacation and went into Moab to buy some beer. The grocery store was well stocked, 6 packs, 12 packs, and cases. I was about to make my selection when, what's this, 3.2 beer? Oh hell no! Off to the liquor store instead. I'm looking around and see lots of beer with no 3.2 in sight. Ok, where's the cooler so I can get something cold. What? They don't sell cold beer? I ask the cashier where the cold beer is. She laughs and says that this is Utah, we don't sell cold beer in the liquor stores. I ask why not? She says because then you'll drink it! Well, that was my plan...
Then to top off that strangeness, you can't buy 6 and 12 packs in the liquor stores. Well, you can but you actually buy the beer by the bottle/can and make your own 6/12 pack. I wanted Stella and I had to pay $1.89 per bottle and make my own 6 pack. WTF?
-
When we moved here to to this town in NE GA, we were looking for two sandwichs and two beers at a store one day. They said, "we can't sell you just two cold ones, but you can buy a cold six pack." Same reason. So we bought two sandwiches and drank six instead of two. Go figure.

Pick the wrong county in GA, and others in the SE, you would have no beer option. :( >:(
Fix'n' to have my last Schell's Maifest I picked up in MN a month ago, then alternate 'tween Blue Moon Wheat and the One and Only, Newcastle Brown Ale.

Same thing here. Cold 3.2 in stores. Everything else warm in liquor store. I did talk the local store into lowering the temp of the entire store.... And the beer I like isn't ice cold normally so it's close. No liquor store here has a sign "coldest beer in town" also no beer on Sunday till after church... I usually needed it before but that is a different subject.
