Ur Favorite Beer?

[Gastro]

I had a nice chat with the head brewer of a small breworks in NZ about Belgian beers...this guy is Swiss but trained in Belgium. Nice guy...nice beer...but he was saying how they tend to really over sugar their beers to get the potency up. And that in a nutshell is my main gripe with the Belgian beers I've tried: too sweet, too carbonated, too strong. Nice to have a small glass...but I enjoy 3or4 pints at the pub and that's hard going and way too sickly.

Thats what I dislike about most ales, porters and stouts, too sweet, too malty not enough hops. I actually find that the Belgians find a pretty good balance, between hoppiness and sweetness.
But then again I don't understand the majority of the beerdrinkers, atleast at Ratebeer.com. The top 20 of beer are all stouts, or porters that taste like coffee... (aren't allowed to taste like hops). If you want a drink that tastes like coffee and has alcohol in it, you get a coffee and a shot of liquor.

My preferences at the moment, Good Pilsners and Good Belgian Golds, (Duvel, Grimbergen etc..) and a nice Blonde

After IPA's I love a good pilsner not not too many good ones in the US. Most microbreweries make ales except the big guys and I HATE corn beer...lol. Duvel, and similar ones, are goooood. Belgians are another one I like.

Not a dark beer fan either.

Mountain - be sure you try Trumer Pils of Berkeley. Very great American Pilsner. My fave, though, is Pinkus from Germany.

For those of you in Michigan who have access to Great Lakes Breweries seasonal "Doppelrock"...


...holy shit....


Amazing. Check out the reviews on beer advocate.

4 packs run 12 bucks here. 7.8 ABV. Breaching my new top 10, and certainly the best beer Great Lakes puts out.

Only available for another month, so hurry up and get this seasonal treasure...

Capital Brewing Co.'s Autumnal Fire. A doppelbock that is an Oktoberfest cranked up to 11. At 8.5%ABV, it's a tasty killer.

Sammy Adams Boston Lager and heiniken..

OK, I'm gonna go all beer snob, just once. On Heineken.

Next time you drink it, remove yourself from any advertising slogans, any preconceived notions about it being a "premium" beer because it's expensive. Just taste.

It is literally intentionally skunked piss water with a mild "bite" of rotten grain. Yes, American macro corn beers are tasteless; and that is superior to Heineken.

The fact that Corona and Heineken have successfully marketed themselves as premium beers reiterates how marketing runs the world.

yeah heineken and all mexican beer are no bueno
