Good, strong beer
« on: December 11, 2004, 08:14:37 PM »
Having been to Canada many times, and enjoyed their stronger varieties of beer(mostly for the strength, not the taste), I've found that it's nearly impossible to find a happy medium between alcohol content and taste.

Anyone got any suggestions I could actually down here in the states? I'm drinking an Icehouse right now and for some reason, can't get the malt-liquor association out of my head.

Milwaukee's Best ICE, Natural Ice, anything with ICE in it and you're set.

If you *really* don't care about the taste to strength ratio (or the next morning), dump some vodka or whiskey in the can. :D

There are very good beers that are high in etoh content. Barley wines are usually 7% or higher. Imperal russian stouts are around 10%. A lot of the holiday seasonal brews are strong.

But if you just want to get drunk, beer is an uneconomical way to do it. Better to just buy a case of miller of keystone from the corner store.

Golden Monkey by a Pennsylvania microbrewery called Victory is 9.5% alcohol.  Tastes good too.

Ringwoods Old Thumper

I believe the they do a version of it brewed in Maine, though it's not a patch on the original/

Basically it looks and tastes like the best Best Bitter you've ever had but is in fact a Strong Ale (i.e. 4.8% vs. 6.0%) .

We've been caught out many a time thinking we could treat Old Thumps as a "session beer" when you actually have to treat it with a modicum of respect.

Canadian

Unibrue: Le Fin du Monde


Belgian
any of the trappist Tripels (or Quadrupels if you are brave)
Gulden Drach
any gueze (an aquired taste but well worth the effort).
What funked said...

Also: Real Cider (when I first lived in the US I had  a real language disconnect: apparently cider in the US means pressed apple juice: back home it is an alcholic beverage made from apples).

Basically you'll have to go to the West Country to get it: it aint fizzy and it disolves pewter but it's well worth the effort. I'd recommend Thatcher's as a brand but the best cider isn't branded and is basically made by a few farmers in their spare time. Along the same lines is Perry (basically pear cider) and cripple dick (cider brandy).

If you can find any Belgian trappist beer corresponding to your taste ...


...you deserve to be drowned in Budweiser (the american liquid , not the Czech beer)



I still think the Trappiste Rochefort is the ultimate Elixir
( after red wine obviously :))

If you're ever in Seattle, drink any local micro brews, most are 5% or better, especially the Pale Ale's.  Thats probably why I can only drink 2 or 3 and I'm "done".

I had a beer in a sports bar in Seattle, and they served this local concoction, it was almost sweet and a very cloudy light brown......
