I just thought she was illiterate, and couldn't enunciate. I asked what they had in darker stuff, and she mentioned what I thought was something I hadn't had before. Then I got it, and realized I had had Smithwicks and liked it. I never did figure out what she actually called it, but now I see she was saying "smitticks" evidently.I just found Smitticks as they call it in Ireland. I really like it! I saw a travel show on the brewerys and I had to try it.. I really like it!

- February 12, 2013, 12:22:51 PMYup, I'll go along with Smithwick's Irish Ale, and Fat Tire. Guinness is OK but I prefer Murphy's. New Glarus Brewing Company is just a beer glass throw away from me. Their Spotted Cow and Black Top go down pretty well. We have a lot of micro brew restaurants in the Milwaukee area that brew thier own beers. Menu changes so fast I couldn't tell you which ones I like best but I mostly go for the ambers, reds, and darks. For me life's too short to drink cheap beer!

I always have that and a couple of different types of Guiness in the fridge.. but ... it is NOT better than Guinness!! (Guiness Draught and Guiness draft at the pub... in any event).

- February 11, 2013, 12:04:16 PMUp here in Canadastan 
I like Alexander Keiths India Pale Ale; in the U.S. I like Fat Tire; first had Fat Tire in Portland Oregon 5 winters ago, went down with a couple of co-workers on a work-related mission. Our plane got in late, it was midnight by the time we checked in to our hotel, we were THIRSTY!! and the engineer suggested Fat Tire. So now, every time I am in the states, I have at least one. I don't drink a lot, but do enjoy one once in a while. Same with Guiness Stout; I really enjoy one once in a while.

- February 07, 2013, 14:56:10 PMFree beer of course! Seriously, I like Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat Beer, which is brewed right here in MO in Kansas City. I also like some of the Sam Adams beers and Blue Moon beer. We have a microbrewery in Columbia (about 65 miles east of here) that brews outstanding beers. I especially like their Green Chili beer. They also have a great restaurant there. Columbia is on I--70 right in the middle of MO. If you happen to stop there, check out Flat Creek Brewing Co.
