Tasty beer

[rogwar]

In Kamloops BC right now. This stuff on tap is pretty darn good. Ever had it?

I've had it.  I do think it's pretty good.

Beer is a funny thing. One mans love is not another. Ive had N/W stuff and found it tasty, Ranier for instance and a few others. Ive never had this one but lately Ive tapered off from my expensive micros and went back to the Beer my daddy drank back in the '60s, which was the first I ever tasted.

"Schlitz" Beer company used to own Chicago and then they changed the brew methods to make more for less and lost their entire base. Now they came back with the recipe that made them famous decades ago and its delicious. I feel you dont have to spend $10 a 6 pack to get a very fine brew at all.

Working my way through the IPAs myself. I didn't used to like them but I've become one with the bitterness. I can't drink anything close to "regular" beer anymore. Tastes like the volume is turned way down hehe.

actually, this has got to be my favorite.

used to be from what one could consider a micro brewery, but they've expanded.  Very nice Red lager, with a nutty taste to it.

I was concerned for a while about drinking it...because I'm subject to random drug tests.

I've turned into a beer snob with age.
I  won't drink American lagers like Bud, Miller, etc. I'd rather drink water.
Otherwise, it's IPA's for me.

LOL you sound like 99% of the people in Seattle. It's IPA beer snobbery heaven here.

Still one of my all time favorites when I had it in London.  That Red Harvest stout they sold in the fall in the States comes no where close to it in my opinion.  

Other than that, the Trappist beers more specifically the Tripel brews among my favorites.  Not very common in the States outside of Chimay unless go to one of those bars that claim to have every beer from every country in the world.  

For brews in the States, I do like Magic Hat, Saranac, and Shipyard.  Amherst microbrewery has also produced some very good beers.  Their graduation beer which they only produce around graduation time for colleges is definitely worth a trip to pick up a growler.

Just some New England flavor.

Absolutely!

What's funny is the younger generation and those outside of the Pacific Northwest think of coffee, grunge music pioneers when in reality, Oregon and Washington were putting out some of the best micro brews in the world here since the early 60's. It didn't become trendy until after the Starbucks years.

Those of us Beer snobs think we (The Pacific Northwest) were the pioneers for the microbrewery explosion that occurred in the 80's...

Finkel (Founder of Pike Brewing Company) credits Europe for his expansion of home brews to a more robust business, he traveled Europe and was exposed to many beautiful things, including ales in England, fruit beers in Belgium and pils, dunkels and dopplebocks in Bavaria.

He was a true pioneer expanding his business in this area and for microbreweries in general.

I don't like IPA.  But there are *a lot* of other great beers around the Pacific Northwest (hefeweizens, porters, etc.).  My favorites are Mac & Jac's (brewed in Redmond), Pyramid (a larger brand, but on tap I think is awesome), and Black Butte Porter (also a larger brand, but on tap is awesome).  When I worked up in Mukilteo, there was Diamond Knot Brewery, and I loved their Nitro Stout.  Most restaurants in the Seattle/East Side area have local beer on tap.

For British beer on tap, I like best (so far) Newcastle Brown Ale and Old Speckled Hen on nitrogen.

I like Lagers and Ales.  Brooklyn, Stone, etc.

There must be some beer makers or beer experts on this topic.  Why is it that beer on tap tastes so much better than the same brand in a bottle?

I don't like IPA's at all.

Mac n Jack's is fantastic.

I'm in the Corona and a lime crowd.
