What is, in your opinion, the best type of/your favorite beer?

What's the worst?

TALK BEER.

Don't drink beer, despise the taste. Prefer something stronger and more expensive.

Best: Shiner Bock

Worst: Magnum malt liquor

My favorites: Heineken, shiner Bock, Budweiser, Killian's Red, and Dos Equis.

Worst: any malt beer, Busch, and Natural Light.

Blue moon. Fat Tire. Dos equis.

Best beer ever is Olde English 800 313

rather have sake

Carling

Favorite Beer: Abita Purple Haze

Least Fav: Pabst blue ribbon

shas hasd

Best: Grolsch, Jupiler, La Chouffe, Brand Urtyp, Alfa

Worst: Heineken, Amstel, Baron, Budweiser (had it once in Spain, tasted like water)

Best: Guinness
Worst: Every other beer

Hm.

There aren't many beers I won't drink. I love beer. I brew my own as well.

IPAs are probably the safest genre of beer for me, I've never really met one I didn't like. Well, one, but it didn't count for other reasons.

Among those I generally don't like as much (but again, will always drink) are "wheat" beers, anything with fruit in the title, Belgium beers, most things eastern European unfortunately, and "lite" beers.

Favorites are Octoberfests, Browns, and IPAs probably.

I'm neutral toward some like lagers, stouts, pumpkin ales, ESB's, and a few others. They can run the gamut from "meh" to delicious.

For specific beers, Brew Kettle's Copperhead Red:

A few ones from Great Lakes brewing:
http://www.greatlakesbrewing.com/beer/an-exceptional-family-of-beers/year-round
...like their Burning River, Dortmunder, and Elliot Ness.
Sam Adam's makes a great Oktoberfest too.
And "Big Two-Hearted Ale" from Bell Brewery. An IPA, but very different from most.
I've also brewed a few of my favorites ever, or have brewed them alongside a couple of my friends who also brew, but obviously they wouldn't be recognized.

...

Anyone else a beer junky? Like, favorite hops, processes, styles, etc. I'm actually drinking some home brew as I type this. Good topic.

Sam Adams, Shock Top Raspberry Wheat, Blue Moon Spring Blonde. Harpoon UFO

Pfft. I can count on one hand the number of times I've been drunk in my life, maybe two hands if you include the amorphic "buzzed" (whatever that's supposed to mean). Beer's too thick to get drunk on (at least what I normally drink), also too thick to have more than about 2 most times, and I'm not a fan of liquor as a general rule. Brewing's a hobby for me, it's fun, and allows me and my friends to be creative about what we do. And beer is delicious, and that's about it.

Anyway, doesn't seem like my attempt to drum up discussion worked too well.

srug

No, there's plenty of discussion to be had.


Most kids these days get drunk from hard alcohol.



Anyway, on to beer.


Best beer? Well, there's so man categories that just a "best beer" doesn't really count, I feel.



In categories:

Wheat Beer:
Porter:
Stout Beers:
Pale Beers:
Dark Lagers:
Fruit Beers:
Warm Beers (beers that are made specifically to be served warm):
Sweet Beers (beers that are supposed to be sweet, which can nicely overlap with fruit beers and "Christmas" beers, at times):
Ales:



Best overall?

I'd be partial to the seasonal sweet beers that are supposed to be served warm, have a hint of cinnamon, and are just right on the sweetness/sugar. They can range in flavor as most are very small batch brews that can pop-up at various events. Some are mediocre and some are absolutely wonderful.

As far as a more traditional? Probaby a German brew beer:

It will obviously be "sweeter" than a bitter UK Pale or most beers for that matter, but it has a very robust flavor that even non-beer drinkers may like. It's unique, that's for sure. Good luck getting some outside of beer events. I don't know if you can purchase it online.

I don't like beer. Maybe I just haven't tried enough types.
Let's see what have I had.. Busch, Budweiser, Bud light, Heineken, Milwaukees Best, Magnum & Cobra malt liquor... Oh and Icehouse and some beer with lime in it.
I think that's it...

I'm more of a liquor person. Hell even better, give me something that doesn't taste like alcohol. Like Tequila Rose or Pucker. Yum!

Contained in this post is the greatest beer ever brewed.

That would be Two Hearted from Bells Brewery. Lived 10 minutes away from the brewery/bar, and that was my favorite beer there. They had awesome seasonal beers, but nothing ever came close to Two Hearted.

Ha! I'm actually a fan of the short stories the name is based on too (Hemingway's early work in "In Our Time", so it's just awesome all around.

Bell's is a solid brewery. I'm partial to Great Lakes, but it might be because that was the microbrew I first latched onto when I began loving beer.

Cool. Not always a fan of Germans, unfortunately, but I drink most anything at least to try it.

You'd probably like this one I brewed last Christmas, which included cedar chips (soaked in the secondary fermenter), cinnamon, and essence of spruce. Tasted like an actual pine christmas tree.

Grolsch is some pretty good beer that I forgot to mention.

Had a Bourbon-Aged Cask Ale from Erie Brewing Co. the other day. Tastes like f-ing bourbon. So delicious.

I'm not big on beer one bit, but if I had to choose there's only one drinkable beer that just happens to be my favorite.

Delirium Tremens. The Delirium Nocturnum variation is also lovely. Lovely, lovely beer.
