Beer Thread

I love wheat beers:
* Paulaner
* Franzikaner
* Pyramid Apricot (sounds weird, but it has a nice fruity flavor)
* Corona doesn't fit the mold, but I drank a bunch on fun trips in Mexico during college and it reminds me of that

Crap:
* any high volume American beer

Sierra Nevada Crystal Wheat. Only in kegs and only local.

Hope no one minds... But in honor of the Beer Thread I moved it into the BAR cause thats where I like to drink and talk about beer and I also "stuck" it in the bar forum... as it should be.

ENJOY!

Well, I haven't met a beer I haven't liked, except for those cranberry or fruity beers, but my favs by far are:

Sam Adams
Labatt's (Ice is $10 for 12 24OZ cans!!!!) Blue, blue light
Anything from Europe for the most part
Corona Light, no funky taste and no lime needed
Wheat Beer except blue moon is OK

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Unfortunately for my bank account, I've developed a taste for 18+ yo unblended Scotch Whisky. Macallan is my fav at the moment. I'm also quite partial to Crown Royal but you can't buy it in the UK so I have to get my Canadian friend to bring me bottles when she goes home.

Hogarden: Why try to turn a beer into a drink thats palatable for posh people who think that the bread line is the Que in bakery.

I like most of the mainstream continental beers, Heineken, Amstel, Stella I like Grolsch but it always seems to give me a bad head in the morning.

Love most of the Belgian trappist & dark beers, westmalle, afligem & palm among others, (i've never understood how such a small country can brew so many good beers )

I think that the Brits have gone a bit overboard in the marketing, over here Hoegarden is pretty standard and all different types of people drink it, me included
you can't beat a cool white beer on a warm summers day. Over here they have other makes too like Witte Raaf and wiekse witte (to name but a few).

Whiskey:
Blended:
Johnie Walker
Jamesons

Single malts:
Ardbeg
Laphroaig
Most other Islay whiskeys.
Cardhu
Most of the "glens" (not Golden glen, cooking whiskey )
Actually there are few single malts I dislike

I like Samuel Adams Summer Ale, and Oktoberfest, also I like Amstel Light and Coors light as they don't leave a bite after. I don't drink much, but I like a nice cold one now and again.. especially watching the Red Sox, or the Bruins.
