Zen Traveler Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Best beer on the planet bar none[] I have always strived to get my homebrew to taste as good as a Chimay, guess those trappist monks of Belgium have got the jump on me[:|] It's been way too long since I've made a batch of Homebrew! My favorite beer was Newcastle until I found the correct mixture of Munton's Nutbown Ale and light malt. Several batches later I started adding frozen raspberries to the wort and that became a hit at the parties as well as for personal enjoyment. Then along came my discovery of Belhaven Scottish Ale in the 16.9 oz bottles and I haven't had the urge to drink anything else unless I am dieting, and then I settle for Amstel Light. For those of you that like Newcastle, Bass, or numerous other brown Ales, I highly recommend picking up a bottle of the Belhaven Scottish Ale or a slightly more bitter beer, Belhaven St. Andrews Ale. Both are less sweet than McEwan's Scottish Ale {edit} and imho, considerably more enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Hazed and infused~Boulder Brewing Co. The hoppiest beer that I have ever tasted!! If you like a hop heavy brew, try some Rogue Ales. My favorite beers are Brooklyn Brown, Guinness, and Harpoon IPA. rogue beer hazelnut - 100 rating the others are good too, I work at a liquor store now so I know my beers [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rplace Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 With out a doubt my favorite beer is the beer I make myself. Since one of you have had it I'll try to narrow down my commercial choices. Celebrator Dopple Bock...always at the top of my listHoegaarten - Yummy darn fine beerBrookln Brown - they nail the styleGuinness Stout - All other stouts are measured against this for good reason...but you need the right mix of gas and a bartender that knows what he/she is doing. If you don't get a shamrock on the head leave the bar.Sierra Nevada Pale Ale - It is always in my houseFat Tire Ale - I wish I could find more close to meChimay - White, Red or Blue...Liquid goldDuval - Another fine Belgium beer.Sam Adams - Sure it is border on BMC and is not too cool to like nor is it trendy, but they give a lot back to the home brewing community and in general ever product they put out is good if not excellent. I would have to pick the Winter Lager as their best with Boston Lager as a close second. Stay away from the Octoberfest...so many "real" O-fests out there. If I had to pick it would be a toss up between Guinness and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I just had a new (to me) beer this weekend. Dogfish Head 120 minute IPA. I hard beer to track down and at about $9.00 for a 12 ounce bottle it is not cheap. Typically sells out of stores in days when it is on the shelf. Well worth the effort to find one if you like hops. See my review of it here http://morebeer.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=19363&highlight= This beer will now make it on to my must have list.

kaiser SET say Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 TKD, Bellhaven is an excellent brew sir[] Triceretops, many of us are really envious of your local 4 sure So many taps, so little time[ip] My favorite Sammy Smith outside Winter Welcome is the nut brown but I also like Corsendonk's brown ale very much[] After reading through this thread I have determined we need a Micro-Klipsch gathering sometime in the not too distant future or maybe a Micro-Klipsch annual weekend where each respective area of the country has their own little get together[] Cheers/Prosit[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogfish IPA another 100 rate beer For Sam Adams I dislike the black lager, Honey porter is so so. I compare them all to the cherry wheat!

BigStewMan Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 RPlace--congrats on making good beer. I've tried twice and both were horrible. We have a place in Huntington Beach that you go there and make the beer. They give you the recipe for the type of beer you want, they have all the equipment, etc... mine turned out very bitter. Tried again at home with one of those home kits, followed directions exactly (yes, I had witnesses) turned out tasting like apple cider. Decided to leave it to the pros.

If by kits you mean Mr. Beer or The Beer Machine...they are crap. Pick up the book "The Complete Joy of Homebrewing" By Charlie Papazian All you need are common house hold items and the ability to follow directions. If you can boil water you can make GREAT beer, better then most you can buy. Sanitation is key and it is a lot of fun. Find a local home brew shop to get the ingredients or go to http://morebeer.com It really is a fascinating hobby ripe with the science of chemistry (starch, sugar, water ph, salts) and microbiology (yeast). Probably the biggest key to making good beer is using a liquid yeast not dried, packaged yeast. As a bonus it is way cheaper then home audio[<)] I can make a 5 gallon batch of a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone for about 25 bucks. That is two and a half cases of beer. My local beer store sell a single case for about $30. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuisis Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 My friend and I split a case of 120 minute and Immort ale from Dogfish Head every year. They make lots of kick *** beer. Raison de extra and old school barley wine are excellent also. If you buy it by the case it's only about $6 per bottle. There are so many great beers out there now that it's hard to try most of them. Rplace if you ever get the chance you should go to the Penn State Microbrew fest not just your run of the mill drunk fest, this one has seminars by famous brewmasters like garret oliver.
