Yeah I am not a big fan of any of the Mill st brews.

**Dale Mabry** · 02-28-2007, 04:53 PM

Just cracked a Stone's IPA, best IPA I have ever had. Very tasty.

Some other good ones I remembered.

Fat Tire by New Belgium. May have mentioned this one before, but it is that good.

Three Floyd's "Alpha King" and "Pride and Joy". Two of the best beers I have ever had. The "Robert the Bruce" is OK, but nowhere near these 2.

I've tried that and I like it. Seems like it's on tap everywhere out west, sort of like Sam Adams on the east coast. Seems like many chain restaurants I've been to out there have on tap the usual swill and Fat Tire.

K, so stopped at the local package shop and grabbed a pack of ale. Sam Adams has this special "Long Shot" 6-pack which is 2 each of 3 different brews made by homebrewers that entered the contest. As follows:

Old Ale-10.5% alc Thought this would taste like shit, but it's pretty good. You can taste the strengf, but it has an aftertaste that is kinda like hot caramel.

Boysenberry Wheat-5.5% alc Quite tasty, very light and I don't even know what the fuck a boysenberry is, but it is pretty goddamned sweet.

Dortmunder Export-5.3% A good beer, but the other two seem much better...Actually, don't really remember what this one tastes like. In 5 minutes I will be back around to it so maybe I will save judgement for then.

It cost me $8, but I can now tell you what a Boysenberry tastes like, so I consider it a win-win.

Dale, I saw that Long Shot sixer in my local beer mart this past weekend and gave it long look before passing on it (I bought Saranac IPA instead). So for $8, would you recommend it?

The last time I bought one of those weird ass Sam's samplers was this Brewmaster's Collection. It was very disappointing, especially at $10 for the four pack.

My favorite thread has regained life.

I would say the Long Shot is definitely worth it. I had the Brewmaster's 4-pack at that camp P and I were at and I didn't even bother finishing it, it was so disgusting.

Colt 45 not that good tasting, but gets you drunk

**fletcher6490** · 03-13-2007, 08:28 PM

I just had a black & tan and being a Guinness hater as I am, I was pleasantly surprised...what a tasty concoction.

Also, Stella is a damn tasty beer as well.

Been there done that...Good stuff might I add.

If you want a real drink, order up a "sweaty mexican". Guaranteed to give you that nice watery mouth, I'm gonna hurl feeling.

I thought it was terrible, but then again, I don't like root beer. My wife likes root beer and she likes beer, but she thought that root beer brew was lousy.

I drank it anyway, because, well, it was a beer.

**Dale Mabry** · 03-14-2007, 08:22 AM

I love root beer and thought it tasted nothing like it.

**Fitgirl70** · 03-14-2007, 01:58 PM

Boy...where have I been???

Ace, Magners, Newcastle, Coors Light (regular coors if I'm in Golden, CO), Killian's Red (also only if in Golden), Fat Tire, 1557, Rogue Dead Guy, lots of Rogue's actually!!!

**goob** · 03-14-2007, 03:38 PM

It all goes down the same way, and it all has the same effect.

Once you've had enough, you can't really taste it anyway.

But if I had to choose:

You mean 1554 instead of 1557? 1554 is awesome stuff from New Belgium.

Nope, let me know.

**fufu** · 03-17-2007, 02:35 PM

It's St. Patrick's day....

what'll it be?

**Dale Mabry** · 03-18-2007, 10:56 AM

I drank the house, good times.

Sammy Summer Ale is out now, too, so I had a sixer of that...deelish.

**Little Wing** · 10-09-2007, 07:43 PM

OMFG!!!! It's autumn so i thought I'd try a Samual Adam's Octoberfest beer........

it tastes like fermented pumpkins that someone dug out of a compost heap. it is absolutely disgusting. the end notes of it truly taste like rotted something.

Colt 45 and two zig zags, baby thats all we neeeeed

What is a good beer for a "noob" beer drinker?

**squanto** · 10-09-2007, 08:18 PM

The beer store down the street recently got Weyerbacher Simcoe Double IPA... omg it's so good. If you like IPA's and ever see this pick it up for sure.

Also a fan of Blue Point Hoptical Illusion, quite nice.

These are the beers I drank on Saturday, $8 per six pack...

Then I went to the Redskins game on Sunday and had a bunch of $8 Bud's!

Not the biggest fan of Sam. I have yet to taste a Sam Adams that I thought was really good... most of them are OK though.

I've been trying to get an internship at New Belgium and those Guys that run that place are crazy cool dudes. They are the definition of beer hippies, plus they make awesome beer.

Anyone had SKA Brewing? They make this awesome peanut beer thats crazy.
