I thought having a thread deadicated to Beer (and beer related stories) would be a good idea. 

enough said.


I LOVE BEER, and that's an understatment. I don't drink as much (or as often) as I used to, I don't drink to get drunk (that's just  a happy coincidence), I never drink (more than a couple of beers) and drive, however I rarely pass an opportunity to have a cold one. I like all kinds of beers, but my favorites are the dark ones, bitter and with a strong taste.

I would like to know about the good beers of your side of the world, which are your favorites and whatever stories you'd like to share.

I won't even try to make a rank because that'd be impossible and probably would lead me to madness, but I'll mention some of the ones I like the most

Victoria (Mexican)
Choppe (Mexican
Bohemia(Mexican)
Negra Modelo (Mexican)
Cucapah Obscura (Mexican micro brewery)
Lowenbrau (German)
Heineken (Netherland)
Steel Reserve 211 (USA)
Bavaria (Netherland)
Foster's (Australia or England; depends how you see it)
Samuel Adams Imperial Stout (USA) I've tried it twice it was great but a bit overwhelming

I'm going to be drinking a bunch of Lagunitas tonight. The venue I'll be at has the IPA for cheap!

This is probably the most potent beer I've every had.  14.5%  I found it at a little bar near me that had it on a cask.  $8 for an 8 oz. pour.  Took me an hour to drink it.  I've had it in a bottle too.

I made some homebrew that was pretty potent. It ended up being like 13-14% and you could certainly taste the alcohol, but it had enough other flavors to make it still drinkable and enjoyable

@Oldman, that looks awesome, it's as dark ass coffee. I'm sure that'll take me some time too.

It is awesome.  I don't know if you can find Goose Island out in Baja, but if you can pick it up, all their stuff is pretty good.

In the grand scheme of things, pop and concentrated juices are just as bad if not worse for you than the occasional beer.  Moderation is the key with anything, and a casual pint or bottle of beer isn't going to hurt you in the long run.  So, @Anik, you can post pics of coke and frutopia all you want, but just know that they are probably every bit as harmful for you as beer, particularly if the person drinking the beer isn't an alcoholic.

@RWLawman Of course, you're right.

I just saw "The Beer and Other Elixirs" so I thought I'd share some of my favorites, that's all. I don't have anything against alcohol.

Cranberry Juice (like real cranberry, not ****tail) with ginger ale. It's very good as long as you find a good ratio that you yourself enjoys.

Also:



Four Roses is the best whiskey/bourbon I have ever had. I went on a tour and they were giving some samples at the end of their higher end stuff. That **** was smooth going in, lots of taste, the alcohol was not overpowering, and it had no burn or after taste. It felt like an experience unto itself. On top of it all of the bourbon we sampled was 50% alcohol by volume or more which surprised the **** out of me since it didn't taste that way one bit.

I love me Cranberry Juice straight as well, but the ginger ale just blends well with it so I add it depending on my mood.
