Thread: the BEER THREAD!!!

had newcastle brown ale and steam engine lager last night. newcastle is one of my faves and the steam engine was pretty tasty.

Newcastle is ok. I had it when I was in Qatar a few months back, but not something I'd drink if given options.

it's smooth

I was going to get a 6 pack of that last night, but opted for a 12 pack of Leinenkugel's instead. I enjoy Newcastle. Not the best, but it's a nice little drink.

i only get it every once in a while so that i don't get tired of it. there's not much to it, but it's an enjoyable beer.

i like leiny's just not their sunset wheat. (i like it, but can only have 1, any after that is overkill, it tastes like fruity pebbles)

Which kind of Leinenkugel did you get? They're all pretty fruity either way.

Just the originals, they didn't have the 12 packs in the variety flavors, I was a little pissed. Honey Weiss, FTW.

I like Sunset Wheat but I don't like Fruity Pebbles.

I had Dogfish Head Aprihops yesterday. Not good, frankly. I am a fan of Magic Hat #9, and thought that the DF would simply do the same thing better. It was not. The Apricot was cloying, and I spent too much money on it. I didn't let it go to waste though, because I am too cheap.

Lineys are one of the few amber beers that I will drink. They are my choice for bloody beers.

I tried the Widmer Crimson Wheat tonight. It was forgettable. Not great but certainly not hard to drink either.

I used to love Widmer Hefe-Weisen until I had Weihenstaphen Hefe. The only Hefe that I've had that's even close is the Franziskaner (or whatever) stuff I had last night. It's badass.

yea, not my favorite of theirs-- i could have told you that you probably wouldn't like it. . . the DFH people are mad creative, and they are ALWAYS trying something new. . . some of what they come up with is too far-out for my taste. . . i think their IPAs, stouts and brown ales are pretty much the best around, but some of the other stuff is just whacky. . . you're entirely safe with any IPA or burton baton, world wide stout, chickory stout, indian brown ale, palo santo marron, immort ale, or the old schoole barleywine. . . some of the others, not so much. . .

Although I did like the IPA Aprihop.
