Still on my quest to drink every type of beer in the world, I've stumbled across another keeper!

Rogue Shakespeare Stout from the Rogue Brewery in Oregon. Great stout, real smooth, not as bitter as Guiness, with a bit more of a chocolate hint. Highly recommend it!

It's a shame I never was able to aquire a taste for beer... drink it on occasion to be sociable, but it always tastes bitter to me. It would be cheaperr than the rum I spend my time sipping on.

P.S. I just remembered... there is one beer I do like, Sudz made it for the last two cons I went to. Had a sweet taste to it, would have liked to have a couple of cases of that!

Pimping it for the uptenth time: Alpirsbacher Klosterbräu

Their summer special is Alpirsbacher Ritter Maximillian. A umm, naturtrüb err "cloudy" say babelfish beer, very refreshing

Maybe you're not drinking the right beer

If it's made in the US by any of the mega-breweries, chances are you've just missed out. There isn't a mass-produced American beer that is worth a damn. Most of my favorites are imported, but there are a few US microbrews that are pretty damn good also.

Devious, over here naturtrub is marketed as "unfiltered"

I've had Alpirsbacher, but it's been a few years. Very good beer that I remember. Unfortunately it is hard to find over here. Best I can usually find is either Paulaner or Spaten. Paulaner makes a very good doppelbock that I love.

Mark, have you tried a Honey Brown? Zero bitterness and a sweet aftertaste. Especially good on Tap. Stop by The Flying Saucer and try a pint!

Where is the flying saucer?

I was noticing on the lenie site the "bitter" units per type of beer. What does that have to do with how bitter it tastes?

The Flying Saucer in Ft.Worth is near Sundance Square...forget which street. Also one in Arlington near I-30 and Cooper. Ultimate Beer Selection.

You sign up and keep record of all the different beers you have tried, untill you have tried them all. Think there is 150. Then they immortalize you and put your name on a "Saucer" and hang it on the wall.

I see, ok, no chance of that happening.
