Favorite Beer

[Jack Daw]

BTW, I was in Detroit last fall and was sorry that Stroh's has been gone for a while. But, I enjoyed Bell's while there.

Mass-produced American beers are just awful (and, sadly, it is what my parents choose to drink). I am thrilled with the still-growing craft beer movement here in the US. Domestically, I like the varieties from Sam Adams and Yuengling. Generally, I drink Belgian-style witbiere (Hoegaarden and Blue Moon), Irish red ales (Smithwick’s and Killian’s), and authentic Trappist ales (if I’m in the mood).

I am currently on a mission to find a cocktail that I like and can order with confidence. Tonight’s selection at the bar will be a Negroni cocktail.

Yes, the Belgian ales I like to drink around Xmas. A good example is Delirium Noel.

If you like Belgian ales and you ever find yourself in the vicinity of Cooperstown, NY, you must stop at Brewery Ommegang for a tour. My wife and I visit there every few years. I love their Three Philosophers quadrupel.Here are some pics from our last trip…

I do enjoy Guinness Draught, Samuel Adams Summer Ale, but my favorite right now is, Deschutes Brewery Black Butte Porter from Bend, Oregon.

I'm actually going to be in Cooperstown next weekend!

Cool, JRB. If I go to the Capital District HG in Altamont again, I will drive over and stop off at the brewery and sample some brews!

I can never decide, it mostly depends...

Longboard Lager: back on the Islands (Hawaii)
Red Stripe: If I'm near the Caribbean
Stagg: The exception for Red Stripe, when in Trinidad and Tobago
Negro Modelo: When back home in New Mexico
Moose Drool : If I'm near/in Montana
Fat Tire: If I'm wheeling in Colorado
Nicky Brown (New Castle): For a relaxing afternoon
Belhaven Wee Heavy: With a nice dram
Fraoch heather Ale: Before a good Scottish dinner
Dark Island: After the above
Dry Blackthorn: For a change
Guinness: for breakfast

If nothing else, something local...

Cheers,

Belgian ales are popular here in France but most people drink pale ales.

I would rather go for a Canadian Pills.
