What's some of your favorite beers? Being more of a whiskey guy, I don't drink a lot of beer, but if I had to go with one at a bar, I would say Sweet Water Blue

Wheat beers. Also had a good sour beer a few months ago @ Karl Strauss in San Diego - their 24th Anniversary brew.
Curious, have any of you had a spicy beer... I love spicy food, but spicy beer I'm not a fan of.

Depends on what time of year it is, for me. But never anything really hoppy. I prefer a more malty taste, in the Belgian style, so I struggle in the summer because they're so damn heavy.
I found one I like last week, Golden Monkey by Victory Brewing. It's got some spice to it, plano. Not "hot" spice, but enough to keep you interested. I like it a lot. I think it's relatively widely available.

I'm a big fan of wheat beers. Blue Moon, Sam Adams Cherry Wheat, UFO has a good wheat ale, Shock Top all have good wheat beers.
As far as spicy, Sam Adams made a Red Stoney Ale that is almost like a wine. It is spicy, but not heat spicy, more like a cooking spice. It was odd, but not in a bad way. Not really anything to drink with a meal. Might could do a salad with it, but not much else.
Locally Avondale and Good People make good stuff. Riz, I'm with you on the hoppy stuff. Not a fan of the IPA's, bitter. It always tastes like grapefruit juice.

What does it taste like? Sounds rather unpleasant TBH.
Sam Adams has some good dark beers. Boston Lager probably being my favorite.

I like about all things Sam Adams. Got one I replace water with when we go to Destin. Shock Top Lemon Shandy. Kinda like Riz in that I don't relish really hoppy beers.
After almost 52 yearson this mud ball, I discovered Jameson Irish Whiskey last year. I may never drink scotch again

I usually get the Apple Cider if I'm drinking some Sam Adams. Very good stuff.

I drink all kinds of beers. Depends on the mood and season. I didn't drink beer at all until 2007 wen I started drinking SweetWater brews here in Atlanta. Now when I goto another town I love trying their local brews.
I enjoy Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA, 90 Minute IPA, and Burton Baton. Also, Sweetwater IPA is a standard, and Shiner Bock is another favorite. Other than Pumking, there aren't many flavored beers I can manage.

Pumpking is a great beer. Goes great with a cool fall night.

Not a beer person really either. If I drink beer it is usually Stella Artois or Harp. My drink of choice is hard cider.
Best beer I ever had though was home brew at Brew Brothers in the Eldorado Casino in Reno, NV.
Holy balloon balls, we finally have this thread going? I was beginning to wonder if you guys drank :icon_thumright:
Hey if anyone is looking for cider, Woodchuck has a sample case out now (I'm in PA, we buy by the case) and it has 4 kinds, they are all fantastic. I'm trying to limit my wheat/grain intake for health reasons, so I've been drinking hard cider instead if my favorite Blue Moon; love it. This Woodchuck is better than the Angry Orchard I've had at my local bar.
