Isn't that when you're out of beer?

Beer is like liquid bread: the fresher it is, the better it is. That's one reason why I generally drink St. Arnold's. Brewed about two miles from my house.

BTW I have become a St. Arnolds Root Beer addict. It's like liquid crack and I've found it doesn't kill my buzz like regular beer.

Stone Brewing Company - Ruination
Dogfishead 90 min IPA

Is it the consensus of TX beer drinkers that St Arnold is the best TX microbrew? If not what is?? Need to take some to my buddies in WI..... or I don't get the Brats :~(

Most American beers are piss water. There are a few good ones from small brewers, but... German, Danish, Italian, British, Irish, Canadian, and some Mexican brews have it all over the beat of American big time brewers. What's with this light beer crap? Its for weenies.

Depends on the time of the year and the food it's served with.

Colder months are the time for heavy ales and stouts. Summer is for Pilsners and a few select lagers. (Mostly Mexican dark beers. Negra Modelo, Dos Equis Amber etc. )

When it gets too hot, I break out the Gin.

Dos Equis is not what it once was, seems thinner and weaker. Negra is a nice beer. Had a Fat Tire brewski last night, brewed in Colorado. Very good for an American dark beer, had body and taste, unusual.

10/4 on the St. Arnolds IPA, followed very closely by Shiner Bock!!!!!!

It's kinda like your kids - how do you pick a true favorite?

A few nominees from my recollection:

Spaten Oktoberfest
Spaten Optimator - my best friend was born in Germany and exposed me to this brewery. About half or 3/4 of one of these and I was looking for someone to take my keys

Celis White - used to be brewed in Austin, haven't had one in years but believe they sold out. This brew had a strangely compelling taste and funky cloudy look - wish I had one about now...

Best beer name (after a day fishing the Laguna Madre):

Speckled Trout Stout - SPI, South Padre Brewing Company

Best Norm line from Cheers (drawn from memory, not verbatim):

"Hey, Mr. Peterson, Jack Frost nipping at your nose?"
"Yeah, now let's get Joe Beer nipping at my liver!"

Dos XX Amber is on of my favorites on a weekly basis

Any kind of Shiner...BUT if I "had" to pick one favorite...would be SHINER BLONDE hands down!

I tried The Samuel Adams Black Lager yesterday, and I liked it a lot. Ranks right up there with Shiner Bock. Has a similar flavor to Shiner, but seems a little bit thicker and smoother. I tend to go for the darker beers, but I haven't yet met one I won't drink as long as it's cold and not skunked.

greyloon · Post by **greyloon** » Sat Aug 11, 2007 5:56 pm

New Belgian Brewery's Fat Tire for American, Negra Modelo when I'm in a Mexican food mode. Guess this is one of those threads that may never die.

I don't much care for beer. I like Liquor. But...... Shiner Bock, Shiner Light, Shiner Blonde, or Coors Light. And they all have to be super duper cold. Even better if ice is trying to form in it.

bbump · Post by **bbump** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 8:35 am

1) Dogfishead 90" IPA - Great flavor, wonderful hops and 6%

2) Broken Halo - a lighter one still nice flavor, cheaper and 5%

3) Pale Moon - Tx Micro very nice Rye beer and 5%ish

4) Boddingtons - Nice English summer beer
