What's your beer of choice? (Merged)

And Telluride can kiss my dog's hairy arse after the way we were treated there! I will NEVER go there again!

What, Telluride was too conservative for you? How were you treated? Were you there for a festival or just visiting on some random weekend? I'm curious why so much disdain for one of the most picturesque towns in the U.S.

I spent a couple of years in Japan (92-94) and got hooked on Asahi. Seems like Sapporo is the only Jap beer I can find in the states though.

You can get Kirin Ichiban but its as Japanese as Fosters is Australian

Regular beer: Sam Adams Boston Ale

Dortmunder from the original brewery is my fav, if you can get it.

Great Lake's Dortmunder is a fine effort

Newcastle Brown Ale is too. Good memories.

Victory Prima Pils. I was surprised I could not find any Great Lakes at the grocery store this morning. My wife asked if we could buy alcohol here on Sundays as it is prohibited in our previous town. I just laughed.

Having downed his fourth Imperial Stout of the day, the wild-eyed charlatan from Voldvostogniaky belched and hollered for the Czarina to enter his chamber and bend herself to his will. The economy was a wreck and revolt was just around the corner. Nicky the Czar dude was off playing soldier like any pale nobleman with the hemorrhagic skin condition would. Such were the final days of the old empire. Reactionary, decadent, sputnik, stroganoff, weird, and drunk. But even as the proletariat countryside labored under inhuman conditions and a threat of being sent to a futile war in the East, they wisely took the time to slam back an Imperial Stout or two. After all, life can be a real "suka", as they said in the old country. Big, black, bourgeois, bolshoi, belligerent, buxom, and scary -- this is our version of the chaotic end in a bottle.

Picked up a six of Bell's Oberon figuring it will not be around much longer as it is mostly a summer beer.

Manfred and I were just talking about Bell's tonight. We miss their stout! (can't get it out here)

Bell's is good, but it does come from Michigan....

I've been drinking Ridgeway beers recently, especially their very lively, nicely balanced Ivanhoe - it's the closest I've come to "real ale" (cask conditioned from a hand pump) in a bottle (far, far superior to those awful nitro cans). If you enjoy traditional English ales, then try it, you'll like it.

Budlight, and Hornsbey or something like that..not really a bear more of a cider though.

Yesterday, it was Shiner Hefeweizen.

Today, it's been Shiner Bock.

Tomorrow I'll go looking for some Blonde.

Bell's Oberon just went off the tap list last week... time to make way for fall seasonal beers... mmmmm...

So far we have the Harpoon Octoberfest, with more Octoberfest beers to come, and I believe the first keg of Great Lakes Nosferatu was supposed to arrive today. :)

I've also been enjoying Sarnac Pumpkin Ale in bottles.

I love fall...


Other than that, I've been drinking Unibroue beers - very similar to the good Belgian stuff, but not quite so expensive.

Genesee Cream Ale <small>( in bottles )</small>

The one beer to have when you're having more than eight
