FAVORITE BEER (high-end/low-end)?

[Uncle Gary]

'drop that in your glass and you're outta here buddy'

Damn right -- the Irish Car Bomb is the destruction of a perfectly good Guinness and a perfectly good Jamesons.

Couldn't really answer on the high end. Once I make up my mind to buy some quality I usually let the store's stock speak to me.

In the mid ranges, I like Labatt's Blue and Pacifico.

Usually, though, my everyday is Old Style.

[waahoohah]

High end, all I can say is Chimay. Any kind. C'mon, you can actually taste the Jesus in it!

Low end? What do you got?

[Frankennietzsche]

High end: something Belgian or a weizzen.
Normal: High Life 30 pack
Low: Colt 45

[Rip Rufus]

High End - Beamish, Young's Double Chocolate Stout

Low End - High Life

Drinking on the Loose Change from my car and couch - Carling's Black Label

[Mayhem]

High end:


Low end can be anything, from PBR to Natty Ice to Miller High Life to Budweiser to Mickey's.

[Badfellow]

High end: La Trappe Quadruple. Or Cantillon Lambic.

Low end: Private Stock malt liquor. Without a doubt.

low end - Bud Ice 40oz. it was a sad day when they got rid of the wide mouth

high end - Bells Oberon in the summer. Stella the rest of the year

ScottTheo,

What's the info on the Bells Oberon? I'm not familiar with it.

[Lunatic Harness]

being a beer snob.... my favorite beers of all time = Drakes Port Barrel Imperial Stout (especially off of hand pump at the Toronado in SF), St. Bernardus ABT 12

low end is a place i do not travel... unless im drunk and usually ends up with Labbat Blue or Molson Canadian...

[MEAT!]

I drink many but my preference are St. Pauli Girl, Landshark, and either Bass Ale or Yeungling on draft. I will drink the high Life on a budget and Guiness when I'm in the mood for something stouter. 90% of the time, my beer will be accompanied by a shoitglass of Jim Beam or Jameson's in the opposing hand.

Bell's is a brewery in Kalamazoo, MI and they make a wheat beer only during April/august called Oberon. It is the spiritual start of spring here. People make trips to the brewery to drink from the first kegs. I'm not sure how far outside of Michigan you can get it. It is delicious though.

My current "high-end" is Cru D'or from North Coast Brewing. It isn't that expensive but its damn tasty, and its 8.0%. I dont realy care that its organic, im no hippy or health nut, I just tried it because i like Belgian style beers.

I would have to say the low end, is Tecate in a can with some salt and a lime, its a great way to start your morning.

[fizzmaster]

High End: Guinness
Low End: PBR or Malt Liquor 40s (Colt 45, OE, King Cobra, Mickeys, etc.)

As stated, Larry Bell has developed his own yeast strains and hops, including some wild strains from my neck of the woods. Totally dedicated to his craft. Plus, home brewers can use his unpasturized beer as a starter for home brew.
