Your top 5 beers of all time

[Super Turbo Deluxe Custom]

Let the corksniffing snobbery begin.

1.  Miller High Life
2.  Young's Double Chocolate Stout
3.  Lonestar
4.  Guiness
5.  Miller Genuine Draft


***Keep in mind I have a beer about every 2 weeks, and  a 12 pack in the fridge from over a year ago.

You're all snobs! My lord, it suddenly is very clear! That's why you like your exotic woods, exotic finishes, and finally exotic beers! :doh:

snobs. I list my 5 favorites and default back to Miller High Life, that is not a snob

 

[Super Turbo Deluxe Custom]

Yes.  And SuperLizard likes none of those things - exotic woods and fancy finishes.

 

[Firebird211]

The real beer snobs are on beeradvocate.com, those basteges are so hard to please, giving very little credit to many good beers.

the white side of my family is German from the Ohio Valley
one thing I know is about 2 years old you are allowed to start sucking on beers from Dads glass, just a little, but then by the time you are of drinking age, you can hold your liquor and non of my siblings ever had a DUI. A few memories I still cherish, and love to do is come September when that years Octoberfest beer is tapped, you go to the local german deli and get a good danish and a 20 oz Octoberfest, Oh the creamy goodness of that for breakfast is great. Celebrations are all about a Stein full of a GOOD Dobblebock and then start piling on the Pilsners, and a Good HofBrau is worth it's weight in gold.
Guess that is why the ales, even though I love a stout or a good IPA, are not my favorites, instead I ant a Continental style Lager, a plate of Bratwurst and some corny up pa pa band as I swing my stein over my head and sing off key with the rest of the crowd.
I spent 2 semesters in Munich and think I drank more beer during meals than when out partying. My relatives do not believe in water there is a picture of beer at every meal. And I think my cousins are half crocked at work. What a great life. Coming back home you have to adjust to Americas Tight Ass Attitudes about Beer. I got harassed a lot for walking don the street with a open beer. Or wanting a beer with lunch.
Americans need to get a life. they all want to tell each other how to live, what they can drink, or smoke, and how their life should be structured, I think if more of the Lawmakers woke up in the morning and drank a beer with breakfast, we would all be better off, After all our Founding Fathers Did, and were in their cups soon after Supper drinking Rum till they passed out. What a great nation came from that, and now it is a over zealously ruled anarchy of regulations to keep us from hurting ourselves.

Rant over, drink more beer

Growing up in Wisconsin, when 5:00 hit, the one woman most lusted over in the state was the Girl on the Moon. I started drinking Miller High Life after first having Bud Light as a regular. For one of my birthdays, my dad gave me a fall sampler case of Leinenkugel's. I think it had Honey Weiss, Octoberfest, Red and Creamy Dark in it. I went through the case, and then went back to Bud Light, only to realize that there was no flavor whatsoever to it. Looking for a flavorful beer that was inexpensive enough, I grabbed a six of High Life, mainly for the price, and not expecting too much. I loved it and have stuck with it ever since, and turned my brother onto it after he stole helped himself to a half a six pack I left at my mom and dad's house one time.

With High Life being my mainstay, my top five favorite "treat" beers would be:

Weihenstephan Hefeweissbier/Kristall Weissbier (the two beers are really the same--the hefe is the unfiltered version, and the kristall is the filtered)
Leinenkugel's Creamy Dark
Guinness Extra Stout (the plain version without the little widget in it)
New Glarus Spotted Cow
Stevens Point Belgian White Bier

 

[Funky Phil]

In no particular order...

Guinness (the best is to be had in Dublin...)
Innis & Gunn Blonde
Erdinger Weissbier

I usually drink red wine though...mmm Barolo mmm

1.  Any free beer
2.  Molson Canadian (what can I say)
3.  Tree Brewing's Thirsty Beaver
4.  Big Rock's Traditional Ale (especially on tap)
5.  Rickard's Dark

I really want to try some from Surly Brewing...damn Alberta.

 

[crash]

4 of my top 5 would have to include some of my home-made beers.  With my favorite still being Guinness

This is in the 3 gallon keg:

This is in the 5 gallon keg

I'm definitely not a beer snob, I just can't stand any of those NASCAR beers:  Miller, Bud, Coors, etc.

I;m jealous of your New Glarus.  I love their beers but haven't lived where its available in well over ten years.

 

[crash]

Had a New Glarus spotted cow last week when I was in Neenah, WI.  Very good.

Hey Crash, I noticed you said you didn't like those big three BMC beers.  I have learned to tolerate some High Life or some Coors Light, but I just visited my party store yesterday to pick up a hoard of beer.  A friend of mine recommended to get Bad Ass American Lager, or the Kidd Rock beer, and it actually was pretty good. It's not the best beer by far, but it seems like it was meant to put those BMC beers to shame, and it does.  I think he should of named it Smooth Ass American Lager.  I remember hearing about it some time ago it was KR's intention to take over the market from some of those mediocre beers.  Anyone who has it in their area should at least try it.  I might be drinking BAAL and not Coor's Light this upcoming summer. :laughing7:

Corsendonk Abbey Brown Ale also officially a damn good beer.

 

[hannaugh]

There is also some excellent beer at a brew-pub in Brea, but they don't bottle it unfortunately.  But it you're ever in Brea, I recommend going to TAPS Fish House & Brewery and ordering a pint of their oatmeal stout, Russian stout, or cream ale.  All their beer is good, but those especially.

All beer is nasty. I'm severely limited in my sources of alcohol. Beer is nasty. Most liquor is too. I like sweet red muscadine wine, pear & apple ciders, rum & cider, and some khalua based stuff I've sampled and that's about it. Always thought the Budwiser Clydesdales were the beer factory itself, not just an icon.
