Sho Nuff 719 Posted March 30, 2017 Seasonal to me...lighter in the hotter months...darker when it's cooler. But haven't been drinking as much beer. Bourbon mostly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore troubadour 12,624 Posted March 30, 2017 At this point in my life everything tastes great. I don't get out much. Given the choice a pint of Guinness though. But I need the next day off if I have a bunch, because whiskey goes with it. Hang overs are brutal now. I over indulge maybe 2x a year, never in front of my kids. Usually the fantasy draft, and fantasy dinner. I stay in a hotel. My kids will never see me wasted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djgb13 2,338 Posted March 30, 2017 For me it depends on my mood and the season. But if I had to choose one then it would be dark beer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brad GLuckman 518 Posted March 30, 2017 My local grocery store let's you mix and match 6 packs so I'll get a little of everything, but I have been into dark beers recently. I love Killian's Irish Red. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted March 30, 2017 Seasonal to me...lighter in the hotter months...darker when it's cooler. This. Modela Especial or Stella Artois is spring & summer then Dos Equis Amber or Negra Modela in fall & winter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sho Nuff 719 Posted March 30, 2017 This. Modela Especial or Stella Artois is spring & summer then Dos Equis Amber or Negra Modela in fall & winter. Damn...(don't take this as too political...just a observation)with you being a full on GOP and Trump guy...the Mexican beers + Stella are interesting. I'm more into the American micro and craft beers or other smaller American breweries. Bells Oberon for my summer...ora ndaful from Mew Gloria that I bring back on trips from Wisconsin. Though...if going import I usually go with a German Dunkel or Kolsh or a goodBelgian (not tha blue moon piss) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ROCKFORD 134 Posted March 30, 2017 I love Killian's Irish Red. The Abyss - Barrel Aged Imperial Stout by Deschutes Brewery A deep, dark Imperial Stout, The Abyss has almost immeasurable depth and complexity. Hints of molasses, licorice and other alluring flavors make it something not just to quaff, but contemplate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ROCKFORD 134 Posted March 30, 2017 Quilter's Irish Death Created by the brewery's founder, Quilter's Irish Death is what we call a dark, smooth, ale. Any attempt at classifying it just ends up sending beer geeks into a style guidelines diatribe. So forget style guidelines. Is your pursuit of micro beer about tasting copies of a style that fit guidelines anyways? (Neither is ours) Irish Death is a malt bomb. We lovingly refer to it as beer candy. We heart our candy store. While tempting to session this beer, the name is a necessary reminder that despite the surprising approachability, this beer weighs in at a hefty 7.8% ABV. http://www.ironhorsebrewery.com/brews.php?n=Quilters%20Irish%20Death Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

giraldi02 470 Posted March 30, 2017 I'll drink any beer other than sours. I can't stand that sh!tLove IPA's. The pinier the better. Hacker-Pschorr Weisse is my favorite beer of all time. For whatever reason, BevMo stopped carrying it though...so when I can get my hands on it now, it's a special treat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herbivore 905 Posted March 30, 2017 Pretty much only buy IPAs. Harpoon, Sierra Nevada, Lagunitas. Lighter options like Founders Day All Day IPA and Ipswich 101. Baxter Stowaway, Shipyard Monkeyfist, and Southern Tier 2xIPA for heavier options. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djgb13 2,338 Posted March 30, 2017 I don't like the IPAs but the Mex beers just hit the spot. I do drink some Amberbock and Yuengling but prefer the others. Man a good Mexican beer with lime is perfect for the beach/pool/lake. Carta Blanca has been one that I drank down in Texas all the time. Get the small limes too and cut those up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmh6476 750 Posted March 30, 2017 And paying $6-7 a beer for them too. F that.ill pay $7 for a 9% ipa any day Double ipa if given the choice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
giraldi02 470 Posted March 30, 2017 Im not big into most IPAs either. Think they have become way to overhyped. The problem isn't IPAs per se, it's session IPAs. A big one around here is 805. I think it's horrible to be honest. Which really sucks too because Firestone has some great beers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
