    My all time favorite is Anchor Steam, especially if it is on tap. I like the beer and the history behind it. Fritz Maytag(of the Maytag family) had the insight and love of the beer to buy the brewery when it was to be shut down. The rest is as we say history and the beer, along with the revival of the craft brewing industry, speaks for itself.

    In general I drink with the seasons with beer and hard liquor so it is Weizen or Wit beers in summer and Imperial stouts and Wee Heavy ales or Dopple Bocks in winter. Speaking of Wee Heavy right now my favorite draw is one I brewed recently for a local brewpub Broadway Brewery in Columbia, MO. I pub brewed for 9 years before going back into medicine and the owner asked if I would guest brew a beer. They had never had a Wee Heavy so I agreed to do it. It had been ten years since mixing a 600 lb mash but it is like riding a bike, you just dont forget how. The beer is very much like the Belhaven Wee Heavy and goes down quite nice. A hint of peated malt is picked up in the aroma and taste with lots of earthy bread like qualities and a very low hopping. Was a fun day recreating what I had done for 9 years. Of course there is only proof if there are photos so here they are.

    600lbs malted barley, toasted oats, peated malt, flaked barley and other specialty grains in the mash.



    The brewer kept a firkin back when he transfered the batch to a serving tank so there was a firkin night to enjoy. A bit hazy with yeast still in it but it was tasty with some RedBreast whiskey.



    Now I didnt brew in a kilt, due to the fact I had to climb in and out of the kettle and mash, but I do always go to Broadway in my kilt. In fact tonight Jennifer and I plan to see if there is any of this tasty brew left and I will be in kilt.

    Oh and for the fun of it my big cat likes the malty taste of the doppel bocks. They do put him to sleep though.

    Popular topic. Since I don't drink alcoholic beverages, my favortie beer lately has been Kaliber's (made by Guiness). Of course, an occasional wee dram of Scotch is not considered an alcoholic beverage - more like a medicinal tonic .

    What day is it? So many brews, so little time. While I keep coming back to Guinness, Summit Great Northern Porter out of Minnesota is a great glass of suds.

    I'm one of those who always looks for something different when I enter a pub. You never know what your taste buds might discover.

    Thank you, Sydnie. I get all flubber-dubbed just thinking about this stuff.

    OK, OK, TOO many styles, TOO many choices, FAR TOO little time.....

    My 1st favourite beer would be the FREE kind

    After that, then it depends on what I am doing.

    after mowing the lawn - a wheat beer like a hefeweizen or lightly hopped, light malt flavoured beer
    with a wild game like venison - a porter or a stout, maybe an IPA
    a mutton stew - a copper coloured bitter ale
    a seafood meal - crisp pilsner/lager

    the list goes on and on and on.......

    If you cannot fix it, mess it up so bad that no one else can either.
