I may be the only stout fan on the planet who doesn't like Guinness poured with a nitrogen tap-- straight from the bottle for this kid

I fucking HATE Guinness on tap. It just tastes so...lifeless and bland compared to bottled.
I rarely drink

Why yes, I've answered to that label more than once, and gladly. Now, mind you, just about everything has gone down the gullet when it was party time (except for ice beer), so I feel like I've paid my dues on that front. It doesn't look like

I guess I'm a beer simpleton. My go-to beers throughout the year are Rolling Rock and Fosters. The Rolling Rock especially since it is inexpensive and consistent.

I've heard very mixed things about mead. I'd probably want to try it before I invested that kind of dough and time into making it. Still, elixir of the gods and all that....

Well, I'll go you one better. I've made a few batches of mead. Great stuff, but homemade, at least around me, is getting ki

Hops make it bitter.
I'm with you. Not a fan of bitter beer.

jesus christ, now I just want a fucking beer--I'm more a fan of the smooth with a kick than the bitter (dunno what makes a beer that way) but I agree with you that the carmel/malt flavors are waaay overused. A malt dominated taste never scores high with me

I've come to realize that what I'm looking for isn't the same as even other microbrew fans. Mostly people who like microbrews seem to be looking for a porter or even a Belgian abbey-style super-porter. Even at microbreweries, the selection tend

My favorites are either a good ol' rum-and-tonic (with lots of lime) or a mojito.

As for beer, my girlfriend has recently gotten me onto Land Shark. It's light without tasting like w

The San Miguel premium lager is one of my favorite beers but not their dark so much. It's funny, I like an ale or a black and tan but I don't like a pale ale. I like a full bodied lager but I don't like the dark lagers. Chimay is a savory ale and I also li

Grolsch, Becks, Okanagan Springs Pale Ale, Heineken, San Miguel dark, Guiness (extra-chilled Guiness on tap is heavenly), and pretty much any beer that comes out of a tap in Germany...but always order two, because they take seven minutes to pour, the first

It all depends on the season, I guess. I always look forward to fall, when I can get some Nosferatu. Hoppier than any other IPA I've ever had, and pr

I always got a kick out of the name of another of Yuengling's beers: Lord Chesterfield Ale.

That's another one I'm not a big fan of...the taste always reminded me of beer left to steep in ashtray leavings. Not everything Yuengling makes is gr

I'm from central PA, so the beer I "grew up with" is Yuengling Lager (and also Black & Tan, Porter, and to a lesser extent their awful "Premium", which is only available in central PA and has the main virtue of being very, very cheap - l

Well, I have a number of favorite beers for different occasions. I like dark beers, so of course one of my standbys is Guinness - it's one of the few "good" beers that chain-type bar and grill places often have on tap, so it's usually a good choice if not
