Smithwick's? It has no taste 😛


btw, asking me that question is akin to torture. There is no one answer. There are my preferred of several styles, but there is no one best beer, for anyone.

 

[Quasmo]

Dogfish Head 90 min IPA

It really depends on what style I'm looking for; Duchesse De Bourgogne, Cantillon Lou Pepe, Young's Double Chocolate Stout, Nogne O Dark Horizon are among the tops. So many to choose from!

I walked around the Cantillon brewery last summer. Quite an interesting tour. we got to grab some cherries from the palates that they were trucking in that day.

I'm hoping to get a solid Belgian brewery tour going this summer. Should be a damned good time.

You took cherries out of the dismembered mouths of strangers? :shocked:

You should be boxed and put on a pallet and shipped somewhere very, very far away.

:laugh:

Theres a microbrewery in Libertyville called "Micky Finns". They have about a dozen personal beers and a couple hundred factory made.
Their Finn beer is probably the best. I found that place while stationed in Great Lakes.

This. It's like asking which one of my kids I like the best.


I'm not a big fan of the bitter beer, so I generally stay away from the IPA, but I been drinking Dog Fish Head 90min. IPA a lot lately. Walked in the beer store and they had the 120min. as singles, I bought 3 and it definitely was better. Hard to say if it was the best ever.

I was just their in October. Did you enjoy the tasting after the tour?



St Bernardus Abt 12 for my pick

 

[MrToilet]

I am personally partial to Chimay Gran Reserve. Quite tasty.

 

[lxskllr]

A buddy of mine's home brewed chocolate stout. For mass produced beer, I'd have to say a rogue(I assume) batch of Murphy's draft stout. For a couple of months it had the delicious flavor of burnt currents, but after awhile I stopped getting that flavor. I don't know if the manufacture changed, or if it was "off", but it hasn't been as good since :^(

 

[state 08]

Bell's Oberon

 

[HybridSquirrel]

Warsteiner

 

[freegeeks]

Westvleteren 12

 

[adairusmc]

Terminal Gravity ESG, brewed in Enterprise Oregon.

 

[judasmachine]

Samuel Smith Nut Brown Ale, and Shiner Bohemian Black are my two faves. I'll settle for Newcastle, or Shiner Bock though.

 

[gar3555]

recently, my new favorite is the boulevard smokehouse series quadrupel. it's delicious

 

[moshquerade]

it's not the beer, it's the company

 

[TraumaRN]

Really tough question, I love Jame's Boag Premium Lager and Coopers Premium Lager, especially James Boag, when I can actually find it here in the states, often times I have to special order it.

For more easily obtained beer, Sam Adams Summer Ale is very tasty. So is Bell's Oberon.

When I'm in a stout kinda mood, Bell's Expedition Stout is good, but even better are the ones that I cellared for a year and a half.

Yes Hacker-Pschorr is good but not better than the one I listed 😉
