spoken like a true chemical addict. i drink good beer because it's delicious and i get a little warm in the process. i haven't been "drunk" beyond a stumble in an incredibly long time.
We have Hoegaarden (pronounced WHO-gaarden) on tap year round...White beers are becoming more and more popular as they are very refreshing and easy to drink...another good one is Manekin Pis (the tap handle is of the statue, too ).
i will say that if i were ever going to drink a beer, i would drink HEFENWEISEN ..i think thats how its spelled...trie it a couple times a few years back and its a wheat beer and it tastes really good.
It's called 'Hefeweizen' or 'Weissbier'.Real men drink Bock or Doppelbock of course (up to 12% alc.)
stouts and IPAs can make it up to 20%. some even stronger. check out dogfish head's 120 minute IPA or the mephistopheles stout. belgian tripels, quadrupels, and malt beverages routinely hit around the 14% mark as well.
Yeah but they probably go the 'Eisbock' route, extracting frozen water. Although theoretically it doesn't go against the Beer Purity Law, many breweries would still call it cheating.
check out wittekerke sometime. i think it's a great little white wheat. at the bar here they'll mix it with a raspberry lambic and it's surprisingly drinkable on one of those swelteringly hot days.
We have this one quadrupel on called Koningshoeven (Le Trappe Quadrupel Trappist) at the time...must say it is pretty nasty in my opinion.
Here's the real reason articulated why I won't drink Sam Adams rather then give my token answer. Right now in Philly they have a really good microbrew scene going. I purchased a Philadelphia Brewing Company sampler on July 11th. The date it was bottled was on the 24th of June. In addition to it being fresh as hell I'm supporting a local small business which is a big deal to me.
Koningshoeven! the only non-belgian trappist brewery! i've never had that one, but if you're not big on that, chances are you don't like quads in general. still, if you can find the st bernardus 12 or the kasteelbier donker (also called the bruine/brune). they're sticky sweet beers, i think the alcohol is hidden damn well.
my personal favorite \the beast is over 16% alcohol and it taste pretty damn good
exactlyyou fools think your "living" cuz you get drunktell you something, when you have peace of mind and know who you are you dont need to drink any alcohol to have bravery , courage, have a god time, ect ect.. alcohol is for social cowards.
We normally have St. Bernardus 12 on...right now we have quite a selection from the Dupont Brewery on...the Avec is the greatest
The beers being discussed here are high end, one-or-two-at-a-time beers. Not that trash you drink by the case. I think youre being short sighted here CandiJason
dark beers are feral i don't know why you guys like them, if i want to have breakfast ill have breakfast, not a beer.
Nah im not a VB man, i like a dry beer not a full beer, and although i never reach for one if im 'thirsty' i never have a thirst for alcohol is nicer to have one that doesn't bloat, I usually drink Extra Dry and all variations of it...
The only thing more obnoxious than the names of these beers are the pretentious people that drink them.It's like when I hear a fellow american tell me they are going down to the "pub" to have a "pint". It makes me wanna punch them in the balls. lolYou are going to the bar to have a beer, jerkoff.
. sees no point in drinking if it's not to get fucked up,
