I'll be getting drunk so I'm going to drink something awesome to start it off and then follow it up with something horrible. For example, I may start it off with a Samuel Smith Taddy Porter or Rogue Hazelnut Brown and then start in on a 12-pack of Natty Light. No point in spending good money on good beer if I'm not going to care what I'm drinking after a few. 😛

But why? Have you even given some of the good brands (and I'm not talking entry level imports) a shot? Have you ever had any of the several Rogue flavors?

Listen, I'm a beer snob. But I can drink Keystone light just as much as the next guy. I just know it doesn't taste near as good. 🙂

Why - because to some people, a beer is really is a beer. I love all beer and can't afford to be choosy. Last night at the bar, I asked what was on special and had a few of those. I'm just not picky when it comes to beer. When I buy a case, I usually get Carling or something else cheap. If I am going to have company I'll get something better like Keith's or Moosehead :beer:
 
I think ATOT should be known as one of the internet homes of not only the beer snob, but the beer NERD. the BN is quite prevalent here. there should be BSDs handed out here - Beer Snob Degrees.
 
You should try the Sam's on Butterfield and 355 they have an awesome selection of both import and domestic craft brews.

I'll be sticking to Leinenkeugel's Creamy Dark, I haven't been able to brew recently and hope to take care of that this weekend... May break into a 'young' Old Ale I brewed a while ago to see how it's progressing....

Eww Labatt... I thought you had taste, Mosh! 🙁

Depends on the variety of Labatts. Some of their stuff is absolutely horrible. Some, not so bad, and some... pretty good. And, if you live close enough to Canada, you can actually purchase real beer.
 
I still got half a case of sam adams summer fest sampler... no wait, I just drank 6 of them, 6 left.

I am a certified beer snob; I have a card and T-Shirt that prove it. This is 100% true; for my birthday, my friend got me a membership to a beer snob society in Oregon. Booyah.

As for this weekend, I'll be sticking to the summer ales. Bridgeport Haymaker is a delicious Extra Pale, highly drinkable; I haven't met a single person who dislikes it. I'll probably end up with some German Weissbier too; I would say Franziskaner, but the last batch I got was skunky (probably mishandled en route), so I'll go for the Weihenstephaner. A nice Belgian trippel might go over well too. And, in honor of the 4th, I'm pretty sure I'll end up at a barbecue with some authentic homebrew, thereby supporting good old fashioned American craftsmanship.

:beer: Cheers!
 
I've got some Pacifico's left, so I'll be starting with those. I should head to the Binny's to pick up some nice summer beer. A Hitachino's Nest White Ale would be perfect (my favorite beer) along with some other wheat beer. I'm sure I'll pick up some Bud Light for the masses, but a nice wheat beer is what I need for the cookout.
 
I have a couple bass, an arrogant bastard, fat tire summerfest ale, and some other 6 pack that I honestly forget what it is. My wife broke my 22oz stone IPA when we got back from the store :-(

You'll graduate from training beer one of these days.

i dont like beer, really, but my dad didnt get it when i said his "budweiser select" tasted like funky water.

im pretty sure its actually funky water.

/rum is where its at

Budweiser Select is not what beer tastes like, neither is Miller or Coors. 😛

Southern Tier fetish? 🙂

I'm jealous of those bottles of Jah-va, I bought one and loved it .. haven't found anymore to buy since. We had the un-earthly on tap at work a bit back and have the uber sun on now - can't say I cared too too much for either. Definitely a Weyerbacher fan as my home isn't too far from the brewery (love their pumpkin ale)

Personally, we got a new beer order in at work and I grabbed for bottles for now.

Nils Oscar IRS (Sweden)
Haand Norse Porter (Norway)
Nogne Stout (Norway)
Meantime London Porter (England)

We got like 5-6 Scandinavian beers in and I'm excited to try those .. as I'm not sure how often I'll find 'em.

I consider myself a beer snob because I won't touch most domestic macros (unless I'm playing drinking games) and I was thinking about why the other day. I guess I decided I drink beer not with the primary goal get drunk (unless I'm participating in the aforementioned drinking games), but to enjoy the taste. And really, the taste in miller/coors/bud/etc. is practically non-existent so why drink it (for me)? If it's a hot day and I want to cool down, I'll just grab some ice water or maybe iced tea .. beer doesn't help one cool down .. it has alcohol in it 😛

The Nogne Imperial Stout is fvcking awesome. I love that stuff!
Enjoy it!

If you're ever near DC, we should probably have a couple of 40's.

I'll be enjoying some old fashioned American craftsmanship in the form of Milwaukee's Best or Pabst Blue Ribbon. Has your beer ever won a blue ribbon?
 
sjwaste: i'll keep that in mind 🙂

😀 for those of you who have seen the Red Stripe commercials :beer:
