Can't go wrong with a Newcastle, or a Guinness. Although, I'm really diggin the local micro-brews here in Denver, like Breckenridge.

There's a brewery in Houston, TX called St. Arnolds. Great beer from what I've tried, and they also have a "lawnmower" and "weedwacker" beer.. decided to try the weedwacker, and it tasted literally like grass clippings. Most odd beer I've ever tried.

Anyway, last night I had 2 Anchor Porters which were pretty good and a La Fin du Monde which was super wheaty (i think?  i dunno, it was odd) but not bad :)

No, hallucinations are a myth. It's just spirits made of herbs, not distilled peyote.

Anchor Porter is a very solid beer. La Fin du Monde, and all of the Unibroue beers in fact, have the special Belgian yeast that they use that will make it taste "wheat-y" or spicy. I still have a bottle in my fridge... Should probably pop that one open!

Capital Blonde Doppelbock!! I found some of that in a salvage type grocery store a while back. It was AMAZING. Haven't seen it since.

Also have to recommend Urthel brewery. Right now I'm looking at an empty bottle of Vlaemse Bock that I kept after I drank it.  Sadly it's out of production, but I live about 30 minutes from a place that might still have some remaining stock. Maybe I'll go find out tomorrow....

Great thread! If I can find my camera battery charger, I'll post some selections from my bottle collection.

You been up here to Fort Collins.  Beer is life up here with Odell's, New Belgium and such.  My favorite is Left Hand brewery out of Longmont, CO.  If anyone can get it outside of Colorado try the Black Jack or Nitro.  You won't regret it.

I've recently been getting really into local beers from where I live. Being an English student in the south of the Netherlands, the Belgian German and Dutch beers in close proximity is heaven. I'm a big fan of anything from the Gulpener Brouwerij.

I'm enjoying some Menabrea Bionde tonight. I don't buy Italian beers too often, but this one isn't too bad.
Also I've been into Brau Brothers Cherry Bean Stout lately. It's probably one of the best coffee stouts out there. Has a real nice coffee flavor without any bitterness or artificial taste that so many of them have.

Free drinks are good... unless it's crap. Try and put a Natural Ice in my hand and see what happens.

My favorite beer right now is the Cigar City Jose Marti Porter. Not quite as smokey as other porters but just perfect.

since my last post in here, i've tried bj's brewhouse pm porter, st. arnold lawnmower, franziskaner weissbier, paulaner hefeweizen, hoegaarden wit blanche,  warsteiner premium verum, and one other that I don't remember the name of that i didn't really care for.  the wheat beers were good as usual.  the pm porter was good as well.  the lawnmower and warsteiner were ok.

Modelo Negra recently... for the most part I only drink lagers and stouts. There are some decent local brews in Santa Barbara but I don't go downtown often enough to enjoy them.

Trying to develop my taste for whisky lately though. About half way through the Jameson I bought a few days ago - something cheap, but decent to start me off.

Beerwise lately it's been Modelo Especial, Session Lager (stubbies!!!) and Landshark.  La Fin du Monde when I'm north enough to get some.  I've done every craft, belgian, exotic beer and then some and I keep coming back to these.
Cider would be Strongbow or Woodchuck.  (You lucky spazzers in the UK who can get Strongbow Cirrus...I'm insanely jealous.)
Liquor I'm almost exclusively a gin drinker, my regulars being Hendricks and Tanqueray.
Vodka, when I drink it, I usually go for Russian Standard.  Or Żubrówka w/ apple juice when I can get some.
I make exceptions for Flor de Cana & Sailor Jerry Rum...and Seagram's 7 for 7&7s.

Got a few bottles of some proper absinthe (not that dyed-green Czech bull****) for proper consumption.  No flames allowed.  Legit descendant of Henri-Louis Pernod...can't disrespect the fam.
If you think keyboards are an expensive hobby, try paying $400+ per 30mL of pre-ban Absinthe...

I have a few bottles of some exotic **** I've picked up in my travels: Opal, Topas, Brennevin, Gammel Dansk, Salmiakki Koskenkorva, I love em all...most people think they taste like ass.  Makes for fun party tricks.

Ditto on the Sam Smith Oatmeal stout.  Firestone Velvet Merlin Oatmeal Stout isn't bad.

Do we know the meanings of "before" and "after", or is this another effect of the myriad time-travel inducing rollbacks?

Oat Soda and Caucasians, man.  

And wine.  

and rum...  the captain requires rum.  :-)


Had a nice malty oat soda the other day: http://www.alaskanbeer.com/amber.html
not quite as good as my homebrew, but a nice, easy, cold drink.
