Why imported? We have some of the best micro brews in the world. Stone Brewery(Arogant ****,)Brewery Omegang(the original burgandy bottle)Broklyn Brewery,Capitol Brewery,Sierra Nevada,AnchorBrewery, I could go on for a long time. Try exploring what is made in the good old US of A you may be quite surprized. Let me know your taste and I'm sure I can recomend a great beer in your area!

"Let me know your taste and I'm sure I can recomend a great beer in your area!-BEERSNOB-"

I love Michelob Amber Bock, I like Shiner bock OK and ZiegenBock better than the Shiner. I think most of these beers are only here in Texas, but any other beers that you think would be close to the others I would love to know what to try.

P.S. I really hate Becks, Heineken, Amstel and Guinness stuff, If that helps.

Thanks and GIG'em,

Dan

heinekin is watered down water...and Guinness (unless its on tap) is like drinking my own puke. Give me the domestic microbrews...I happen to live in the hometown of the sierra nevada brewery and so show much loyalty to them (hey you can get three dollar pitchers of their stuff somewhere any night of the week) but I also love Anchor Steam Brews, Mendocino brewery, and deschutes stuff out of Oregon...Mirror Pond Pale Ale is probably the best thing going right now followed by Anchor Steam Porter which is a very close second.

Living so close to Canada, we don't ever consider it imported...Labatt Blue. Love it and can't get enough!!!!! I could go on and on and on about how great it is and how delicious it tastes, especially at night after a hard days work, or in the afternoon with lunch, or how it really makes those Rice Krispies go snap crackle pop!!! Like I said, I could go on and on about how much I love Labatt Blue, but I have a meeting to get to. Hi, my name is John...

Imported...The Belgian's really have got it down...Chimay, Corsendonk, La Chouffe, Kwak....all good....USA Microbrews..I agree w/ Ommegang, Stone, Magic Hat...Local... Victory ....It is now 8:40am on a Saturday. Is that too early for a cold one? Or to quote a commercial that I just saw, "You had a beer in the shower?"...Response..'Like you haven't'.

To me the weather dictates the beer. Cooler weather I like the darker heavier beers(Guinness). Humidity sets in I prefer lighter beers(Caribe, St. Pauli, Moosehead and Heineken), but my all time favorite is coming back to the US after a long dissappearance...Kronenburg 1664! Nectar of the Gods! Bishop's Alsace was it's "replacement" as well as some of the Abbey brews, but gimmie my K1664!

I'm with Pablo on the Heineken.

Also greatly enjoy MGD. I think it's imported from Milwaukee. Think I'll have one now.

Cheers

Imported: Warsteiner (dunkel and pilsner), Bitburger and Guiness once in a while.


Domestic: Anything from Barrelhouse brewery here in Cincy. I love the Redlegg ale. As far as I can tell you can only get it locally. I usually go down to the brewery, eat, drink a few and bring a gallon "growler" home for later.

OK, now, I'm in the mood so I guess I'll head downtown.

Yuegling..Lager Imported from Pottsville Pa
They also make a fine Black & Tan

For import Dos Equis Lager (green bottle)
And for you low carb dieters Rolling Rock Green Light
I like it better than Rolling Rock.And it has more taste than any of the other Low Carb beers. Imported from Latrobe PA and the 33 stands for the year probition ended.
On a hot summer day Tequiza is mighty tasty if you like that taste of tequila and lime in your beer

On another beverage (malt) Mike's Hard Lime is good when you add a little Jack Daniels to it

As long as it is ice cold, I am not a beer snob, but prefer the ales! I do not drink much anymore and when I do, I go for Jack Daniels (on rocks) or Vodka on rocks!
The cigar is what is important!

i used to compete in a beer drinking leauge in state college pa. we had teams who competed in th basement of the Rathskeller. We drank cases of Rolling Rock ponies to the point the beer was rolling out of you mouth ,,,,Ive lost my taste for R R. Yuengling is only an hour from my house and arond here it is considered a cheap beer, I do like black and Tan but it is hangover city and at my my age ill pass because i swore off drinkin after hangovers about a thousand times too many. I agree there are a zillon good micro brews especially in Pa but this was about imports. and i still think no one does it better than the Brits.

I'm much more of a scotch guy but I love Stella, Heinies, Becks, Labatts and most porters. Generally I don't like Mexican beers except Dos XX. Domestically Sam Adams is my usual call and I love Anchor Steam.

WOWWY WOWWY WOW WOW!!! Nabaclish? Did you say Kilkenny's!!?? Holy freakin' shiznit. I fell in love with that beer in 1999 while on deployment. World's best beer, hands down, made by Guinness. VERY hard to find here in the US, only the BEST Irish pubs carry it. If you know where I can buy some, please let me know... swn69 at hotmail dot com.

Oh yeah... favorite import if you couldn't tell is Kilkenny's. Or heineken... or guinness...

Local I like a lot of different beers. Stone Pale Ale, Sam Adams, buttwiper, etc... basically if it's cold and it's beer... i'm all over it. Cannot stand most miller products though, except the miller lite for some reason...

From what I've heard, the Irish are crazy about Miller Light and Bud Light. I can't understand why when they've got Harp, Guinness, Kilkenny and all sorts of great little microbrewers all over the place.

Yours,
Sheila

The last time I answered this question, I had to stop myself, after about 7 paragraphs. There are so many different styles of beer, and I have a favorite, in all of them. My Favorite Imported Stout, GUINNESS, hands down. My favorite Imported Brown Ale. Corsendonk. My favorite Imported Pale Ale, Samuel Smiths India Pale Ale, when I can find it. My favorite Imported Pilsner, is not imported to the US, because of copyright, and trademark problems. The True King OF Pilsners, CZECH Budwieser, the original, the US copy, doesn't even come close. I will stop with those, I don't want to get too longwinded, like last time. But you guys are right, you can't overlook the US Microbrews, alot of them are as good as most imports, but I haven't found anything US, that can touch Guinness, on tap.

Ayinger Celebrator Dopplebock from Germany. Love the bocks; like liquid bread there so much malt in there; thick and heady. Microbrews definitely. Samiclaus once every few months to get a little ass whoopin and the Czech Pilsner is a fav as well.

I had my first Doppelbock a couple of weeks ago...Sierra Nevada Double Eliminator Doppelbock...it was awesome, I even though I wanted more, I could only drink a half pint it was so filling...great atste, sweet, with an interesting aftertaste. I wish I could get it for the house instead of just at the brewery. I think it would go nice with a strong cigar
