12.20.10 | feature plz |
couldwinarabbit
12.20.10 | sweet list. I can't afford good beer but I love it. Is 20 drinkable? |
AngelofDeath
12.20.10 | It's intense. Very bitter and high in alcohol. Not recommended for the faint of heart. There's probably more accessible ones to try here. |
BigHans
12.20.10 | Pretty awesome bud needs moar Bud Diesel |
Inveigh
12.20.10 | very cool list, I enjoyed reading all the descriptions and I'll probably end up trying at least a couple of these.
seems like you and I have pretty different tastes in brew though. IPAs and Stouts are easily my two least favorite kinds of beer. I'm much of a Hefeweizen, Pilsner/Lager, or Porter type of guy.
had a sixer of Dirty Bastard this weekend though, shit was fire. |
Inveigh
12.20.10 | I should make exceptions though, considering that there are a couple of stouts that I just fucking love |
Counterfeit
12.20.10 | I knew Hans and Blake would be here soon. |
Athom
12.20.10 | You had 25 chances to list my favorite beer and you failed. |
Inveigh
12.20.10 | mm mmm beer |
Inveigh
12.20.10 | wait, I think I know it redsky... Negro Modelo? |
AngelofDeath
12.20.10 | Hmm, what is it Adam? |
Athom
12.20.10 | nope Samuel Smith Taddy Porter. also props dude on No More Color. that's my favorite thrash album |
Inveigh
12.20.10 | yall ever tried Sam Jackson brew? IT'LL GETCHA DRUNK! |
Inveigh
12.20.10 | also, gotta say that over the last month I've been addicted to Goose Island Mild Winter Ale. fucking delicious. |
xenocide.
12.20.10 | Needs more trappist beers (Westmalle, Rochefort, Westvleteren...) |
pizzamachine
12.20.10 | Beer list is beer list. |
AngelofDeath
12.20.10 | I've had several Sam Smiths but not that one. I'll have to check it out. |
East Hastings
12.20.10 | the album on number 5 is so damn good |
patroneyes
12.20.10 | wheres the pbr dude |
1drummer
12.20.10 | list needs Shipyard Pumpkin head Ale |
AngelofDeath
12.20.10 | I need to run out and get a six-pack before this Korean BBQ (ribeye and pork belly) is ready. |
Gmork89
12.20.10 | Your picture rules. |
AggravatedYeti
12.20.10 | Dog Fish Indian Brown over the Palo Santo any day(though it's still very very good.) Also their Punkin maybe my favorite Fall Seasonal.
Loving the Allagash love tho as I think that's one of the better Belgian whites you can get in the US and the Smuttynose Barely Wine is a great choice as well. The Rauchbier Marzen is amazing. Though was never really all that impressed with Aventinus.
Arrogant Bastard is easily in my top 5 beers ever too. I'll be sure to try what I haven't had, especially this Great Divide Yeti Stout, sounds amazing. |
Gmork89
12.20.10 | Where can i get some of these? |
AngelofDeath
12.20.10 | If your local liquor store doesn't have it, don't be afraid to ask. It's good to make friends with at least one person there so they can hook you up with the good stuff. |
Phideaux
12.20.10 | I haven't heard of any of these. That's what I get for living in Utah. |
Gmork89
12.21.10 | ^
What he said. But I am going to check anyway. |
AngelofDeath
12.21.10 | Go for it.
Silly Mormons. |
DeafMetal
12.21.10 | Good shit man, I'll keep an eye out for some of these.
Dogfish Head is awesome too. |
Satellite
12.21.10 | not bad. you know your stuff.
the lack of chimay blue requires explanation, though. |
EVedder27
12.21.10 | haven't had a lot of these so ill take notes |
AngelofDeath
12.21.10 | Good point Satty; Chimay Grande Réserve is a top ten brew for sure. Guess I omitted it because it's more readily available than a lot of these. |
Satellite
12.21.10 | Huma-Lupa Licious (IPA)
Bell's Oberon (Summer Ale)
Bell's HopSlam (Double IPA)
Chimay Blue
Double Bastard (Ale) |
Satellite
12.21.10 | you and my brother would get along great. he's the biggest beer connoisseur i know. i'm mostly just a novice snob. |
AngelofDeath
12.21.10 | Yeah, you might be right. Also, I'd say it's better to be a discerning novice than to go around pretending PBR tastes good. |
illmitch
12.21.10 | goddamn hipsters |
Satellite
12.21.10 | i'd say about 70% of the beer i buy is brewed by bell's, which is based in kalamazoo. there isn't a better american brewery as far as i'm concerned. PLUS their stuff is always on tap at most of the bars in MI worth patronizing. |
AngelofDeath
12.21.10 | Cool. I'm gonna have to check it out then. |
qwe3
12.21.10 | dogfish
my man |
AngelofDeath
12.21.10 | Yeah, dude. Excellent brewery. |
SCREAM!
12.21.10 | Only one ive tried on here is La Fin Du Monde and i cant say i enjoyed it
Had an orangey taste that i just really did not like |
Kimm
12.21.10 | Never tried any of these.
I'm not hard to please though...get me a Guinness and I'm a happy girl. |
SCREAM!
12.21.10 | wow she also like her beer like her cock |
AngelofDeath
12.21.10 | Guinness isn't much of a step above PBR haha. |
Jakeitwasaghost
12.21.10 | PBR is shit. People in Oregon drink it like water. |
SCREAM!
12.21.10 | Tried PBR once cause i kept hearing about it on here
For cheap beer its decent. But that isnt saying much |
Satellite
12.21.10 | i don't mind guinness, but for its price there are plenty of infinitely better beers. |
AngelofDeath
12.21.10 | Yeah, that's the main reason I knock it so much. |
Wolfhorde
12.21.10 | There's plenty of stuff I've never even heard of. Germany seems to be pretty good in keeping other beer out. |
Transient
12.21.10 | EMU EXPORT
cunts |
qwe3
12.21.10 | guinness, the beer people who pretend they know about beer like
also boags premium
|
Kimm
12.21.10 | Oh I'm not pretending I know a lot about beer...I know nothing about beer.
My ex loves Guinness and really the only time I ever used to drink was when I was with him so that's just the first beer I really started drinking regularly and I liked it.
Definitely like dark beer over light. |
Wolfhorde
12.21.10 | There are some good czech beers aswell. |
qwe3
12.21.10 | i wasn't talking about you its just generally the people who go "none of that weak shit for me gimme a GUINNESS roar" |
qwe3
12.21.10 | yeah czech beer is prob the best in the world with belgian i' say |
Kiran
12.21.10 | lol i know exactly what you mean about the guinness qwe, happens so often out at uni pubs with people who think they're impressing someone
|
Satellite
12.21.10 | i know like 10 people who truly believe that budweiser is the greatest beer in the world, bar none. |
Wolfhorde
12.21.10 | Guinness in bottles is awful. |
Kiran
12.21.10 | i'm not a beer snob, i usually drink whatevers on tap tbh, but even i think budweiser is shit |
Kimm
12.21.10 | I like Guinness in a can.
I like the little balls inside haha.

Satellite
12.21.10 | *looks at camera*
*jim halpert smirk* |
Wolfhorde
12.21.10 | I can't stand that low-quality crap in Germany that's hyped to heavens. We have indeed some good beer, but also a lot of awful shit. |
AngelofDeath
12.21.10 | Yeah, I think every country has the good and the bad. People can knock the U.S. for bad beer or whatever, but really it's just like anywhere else: plenty of bad but also plenty of amazing choices. You just have to know what you want and what to look for. |
SCREAM!
12.21.10 | I live in Canada and I love Canadian beer over all others ive tried |
Inveigh
12.21.10 | lol I love a lot of what most people would probably refer to as "low-quality" German, Gelgian or Dutch beers. St. Paulie Girl, Beck's, Stella Artois, Grolsch etc. I also really like Peroni. But I'm far from a beer expert.
Guiness is ok, but way too filling considering it has the alcohol content of a Bud Light. Murphy's is good, and I like Kilkenny too. |
Inveigh
12.21.10 | damnit *Belgian, not "Gelgian" lol wtf |
DoubtGin
12.21.10 | you dont need beer |
AngelofDeath
12.21.10 | I'd say Stella and Yuengling are my go-to session beers. Decent flavor, not too filling, and a moderate alcohol content. |
SCREAM!
12.21.10 | Ugh i actually really do not like Stella. If im low on cash ill get Laker (best cheap beer ive tried so far) and if not ill get sleeman's or alexander keith's for parties |
foreverendeared
12.21.10 | I usually order Samuel Adams if I'm out somewhere eating because most restaurants I can afford don't serve anything better. When I buy at the store, I usually go with Samuel Smiths or Dogfish Head. |
Wolfhorde
12.21.10 | @Inveigh: Well, personally I don't like Beck's, but I wouldn't consider it low-quality. What I was talking about are beers like Öttinger, Germania, 5.0 and all that crap.
I'd love to try some of the beer on this list. I just have no clue where I could get some of this, never seen any of this on a card in a pub before. |
SCREAM!
12.21.10 | La Fin Du Monde i found at a liquor store and ive seen the other Unibroue ones there too. I never noticed the others but thye might be there too |
Inveigh
12.21.10 | ah I gotcha Wolfhorde. I just know that Stella, for one, is known as a cheap beer in most places around the world. but in the States that shit's kind of expensive. |
Inveigh
12.21.10 | also, who is that in your profile pick Angel? whoever it is appears to be drinking a Goose Island 312...
(figured I had to keep my double post streak in this thread going lol) |
AggravatedYeti
12.21.10 | ^ your chances of finding US Craft Brews (or anything close as many would discount Sam Adam, Sierra Nevada and Dog Fish as "craft" because of their size--I'm not one of them) outside of North America are slim to none. There are plenty of amazing West Coast beers I cannot find in the eastern US and vice-versa. Their distribution is just not large enough.
though I'm sure there's shops in Germany that carry US micro-brews (I found a Samuel Adams Holiday 12-Pack and Dogfish 60s in a liquor store in Munich...don't ask me the name I was wwwassstteedd) |
Wolfhorde
12.21.10 | I don't even know that Stella. In Germany local beer like Rothaus is pretty popular. And Heineken.
About liquor stores: Well, I haven't seen one where I live yet, but I might ask someone with a better knowledge of the cities here. |
AggravatedYeti
12.21.10 | I'm sure they exist--it is Germany after all. Worse comes to worst befriend a bar owner/worker and ask them to stock your beer. My experience is as long as you drink it they'll continue to order kegs/bottles.
or you could just hop a train over to Belgium where the beer gets Super Serious Yall. (mmmmmmmm) |
SCREAM!
12.21.10 | i forgot you live in germany when i wrote that lol All the unibroue's are from quebec, Canada and i live in ontario really close to quebec to thats prob why i can find those so easily. |

12.21.10 | Dogfish Head yumm. |
AngelofDeath
12.21.10 | That's a picture of John Haughm and Don Anderson from the Agalloch concert I went to a couple years ago. |
Wolfhorde
12.21.10 | There is most likely something, I just haven't discovered it yet. If I find one I'll try some out. I need to broaden my beer-horizon, lmao. |
AngelofDeath
12.21.10 | Haha, it's always nice to do that. |
Wolfhorde
12.21.10 | Indeed. Btw: Keep up the food/alc lists. They rawk. |
omnipanzer
12.21.10 | Shiner: anything they make bro ;^) |
AngelofDeath
12.21.10 | Thanks man. I definitely will. Should do another installment of my cooking guide here pretty soon. |

12.22.10 | any European beer and you're set |
fsharptrit0ne
03.30.11 | Awesome list. I highly recommend Southern Tier's 2X IPA, extremely good. |
cirq
03.30.11 | i like blue moon. |
IleftyspankedU
03.30.11 | Impressive list. I think more work went into that than most of the reviews I've read here. |
AngelofDeath
03.30.11 | I think I put even more work into my "Beer Encyclopedia" list, but the beers on here are just so damn good. |
DeafMetal
03.31.11 | Such a beautiful list. |
Awesomesauce
03.31.11 | Fucking great list.
+1 for Arrogant Bastard.
-1 for not having any Australian beers on there. |
AngelofDeath
03.31.11 | Aussie beers are pretty hard to come by here in the States. I had some great brews while I lived there briefly, though. |
Awesomesauce
03.31.11 | Yeah, I'll pay that. If you ever get the chance, try Matilda Bay Alpha Pale Ale. Brilliant stuff. |
AngelofDeath
03.31.11 | I'll certainly keep an eye out for it. Cheers. |
TREO5
03.31.11 | Favorite German beers are warsteiner, bitburger, salvator dunkel and kostrizter. |
