Irish all the way baby.

Guinness
Harp
Smithicks
Kilkenny
Murphy's Irish Stout
Caffrey's

Can't beat Irish beer and whiskey. Tonight I've been enjoying Guinness, Harp, and Tullamore Dew.

My ancestors make the best booze in the world.

you making some black n tans ?

Discipline - 7-9-2008 at 11:44 PM

I was earlier. Now it's straight whiskey.

I voted Irish as well. I do like Samuel Smith alot ( I believe thats English) but the Majority of my beer intake is from Leprechaun land. The whole Jamesons thread got me wanting whiskey. I got a 12yo Chivas Regal bottle. Never had it but Im just about to start in on it. I also have a Chocolate Oatmeal Stout from a local brewery which Ill start off with first.

Hard to say. There are a lot of different styles of beer that I've really enjoyed. The only beers I've had that were imported from other countries have been Irish and Mexican.

Irish fucking rules!

Belgian has way better stuff going on.

I love all the stuff Disciplines got listed and drink it often but you can get equally good American and often local alternatives to all those beer types (ales, stouts and lagers).

However...those crazy Belgian monks have some secret stuff going on that the American craft brew scene just can't quite duplicate.

I would probably vote Belgian, American (by American I do not mean any BCM brewery beers), Irish, German, English in that order.

what a question.there´s only one country with real beer. Germany!!!
we did the law for the recipe of beer and most countries followed us.
belgian beer isn´t drinkable. wether it tastes like water or they put some chemical ingredients in it that make your head explode the next day.also, who wants beer with cherry or strawberry flavor??

upyerbum - 7-10-2008 at 08:15 AM

I didn't vote because there's no CANADIAN beer on the poll. :ticking:

But based on my slim choices, I'd go German.

Never had cherry or strawberry Belgian beer....

Any Abbey type Ale/dubbel/trippel IMO is the pinnacle of beer, complex flavor and usually 7%IBV as aminimum standard.

Next to that I don't know...I don't drink lighter beers or Belgian 'wit' type beers because I don't drink lighter colored beers to begin with if it can be helped. Those very well may taste like holy ass.

Now almost any German dark would probably be right below that in terms of perfection, but anything German lighter than brown is pure yuck. I don't care about any purity law when the beer is a glorified pilsner. Unfortunately Germans don't concentrate nearly enough on darks so per capita this brings them down on my overall list.

I thought the samething haha! I love Guinness and Harps but haven't tried enough Irish beers to go with them here.

And Germany is the fatherland of beer. They have the oldest operating brewery in the world it opened in what 1040?

DeathByForce - 7-10-2008 at 06:49 PM

I like Carlsberg. I like some Polish beers. I love lots of English and Irish beers.
I love a lot of Canadian beers though. Maudite is great. Also, Trafalgars brews some of the best beer in North America.

DAK - 7-11-2008 at 03:07 PM

Today I have had:
St. Arnolds Fancy Lawnmower Ale (Texas) Kölsch x 3
Shiner Bohemian Black Lager (Texas) Schwarzbier x 2
Guinness Extra Stout 22 Oz. (Ireland) Stout
Shiner Hefeweizen (Texas) Wheat Beer x 2
Michelob Amber Boch (USA) freebie
Bud Light Lime (USA) freebie x 2

JawnDiablo - 7-11-2008 at 03:23 PM

Fancy Lawnmower Ale

only in Texas!

DAK - 7-11-2008 at 03:33 PM

St. Arnold's have a bunch of different beers. So, I figuired I'd start with this Lawnmower beer. It's a decent summer beer, hence the name. It's not made of grass clippings. We are a "little" more civilized than that. OI!!!

DAK - 7-11-2008 at 06:04 PM

shitt i need some food. good day to all!

JawnDiablo - 7-11-2008 at 06:33 PM

I got me a German variety pack the other night.
it has
Spatten Premium
Franziskanrt Weissber
Optimator (7.2%) this stuff is pretty great.
I'll be loaded pretty soon.
I think I need Jason to make a list of crap I need to try...
