Too freakin cold to ride (so no drinking restrictions), No project bike or major bike projects for this winter ... yet, so...
I'm a "light" drinker, so I expect my beer to be GOOD and full-bodied is good for me.
Anyway, my favorites are:
1) Smithwick's Irish Ale
2) Murphy's Stout.
What's yours?
I'll take a Sam Adams Cherry Wheat!!
Dan
I'm mostly a Jack drinker. But a pint of Guinness on ( draft) is always enjoyable. On hot days when we are ridding shock top is a great choice, no more than when riding.
Grolsch beer !
Never had the Cherry Wheat... will give it a try.
I like Bud light Chelada or Bud Chelada (both taste the same), and on those warm summer days Blue Moon (Coors) or Shock Top (Anhieser Busch). I have tried most of the rest but I like the light beers better than the dark beers.
IF THE BEER HAS A TWIST TOP BOTTLE... I DO NOT DRINK IT!!! ;) ;) ;)
Pabst Blue Ribbon
Guinness
Any with alcohol in it !
Sam Adams on a good day. Natty Light on a bad day.
Redhook Longhammer Ale at their brewpub, connected to the big tank in Newington, New Hampshire,
Varooom
I'm kind of fond of this stuff, for obvious reasons
(https://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.oregonlive.com%2Fthebeerhere%2F2009%2F01%2Fmedium_drifter_7pk.jpg&hash=074ff001151bb2d877852c1b2cf35e0578d3c3d4)
You a clever cat Lefecious.
I'm with Terry G... Guinness on cold days and Pabst in the summer! ;)
I'm a Jim Beam in water drinker but when I do drink beer ... Moslson Canadian or MGD
I have 2 not in really in any real order:
1. Cold
2. Free
On April 1st, I will be 31 years completely sober. I used to drink a lot. My favorite domestic beer was
Shaeffer, followed by Miller High Life. Mt favorite imports were Kirin, Asahi, (Japanese) and San Miguel (Philippine), and Dortmunder. I never got into Lowenbrau, like so many of my friends did. Used to drink beer either mixed with cheap pop wine, like boone's farm, or as a boilermaker, usually with decent bourbon. I decided, 31 years ago, that my consumption just had to stop, so I quit, as they say "cold turkey". Since I quit, I replaced my alcohol consumption with something a little more adult. I have become what some might call a coffee connoisseur. Not a coffee snob. I can't stand starbucks, always tastes like it's been burned....I do like it strong, black, no sugar....Here is a picture of two packages I just received from a past exchange student from Sao Paulo....You won't fine these in your local piggly wiggly.....I'm working on the dark roast, and the other one is from the mountains....absolutely spectacular
I hear you troll... my consumption is very limited... which is why what I drink is really important to me. Like most things in life moderation is the key. I think my American Indian heritage conflicts with my Scottish/Irish/Sailor heritage... my father and grandfather (fraternal) were alcoholics - which told me to be REALLY careful. It almost got me whilst in the Navy... but like you I fixed it without a lot of problems.
Lately, I like sampling the Belgian beers. Three very good ones are.
1) Orval
2) Duval....both a med lager,very lively.
3) Draak a more robust Ale...very smooth & moocho-tasty! :D
And my favorite domestic, Sierra Nevada.
I used to be a big Black & Tan fan.....Half Harp half Guiness.... Preferrably in a liter mug.... Now I stick to a Michelada with Dos XX and lots of salt....
Bruce
Pacifico...Mexican beer from Mazatlan! :)
now mostly - KRÜGER (https://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.citycat.ru%2Fbeer%2F01_029%2F1tomsk_kruger.jpg&hash=dfa434b7b725fce8e56da4717007658da25c154c)
1.) Shiner Bock.
2.) Blue Moon.
3.) Fat Tire.
There was a draft I had in South Hampton that was awesome but I don't remember what it was, or much else either! Tiger beer in Singapore is guaranteewd to give you a wicked hangover. Most of the brew here in Brazil isn't very good unless you add a dash of salt. They have a black beer here if you like something similar to mead. There are a whole bunch of microbrews in Maine that are fantastic. Sea Dog, Gritty Mcduff, Geary's, and Shipyard are all favorites. Then again I like em all!
My tastes are pretty mild,
Corona
Leinenkugel(sp)their summer shandy is awesome!
Blue Moon
Guiness
and for the redneck side, I really like a few Busch Light's after a day at the shop
I'm into Kilkenny, Bollekes (brewery De Koninck), Hoegaerden (brewery De Kluis) and plain stuff like Jupiler and Stella.
Also like Westmalle Dubbel (Trappist), Orval, Chimay, Leffe, etc..... Belgiium is full of Beers (with a Capital).
I brew quite a bit of my own beer... mostly I make IPA's but occasionally branch out into others. I've made some Irish ales that I thought were pretty decent and some coffee stout (with 4 cups of espresso for flavor...) that was amazing. When I'm buying beer it's usually cheap stuff in cans for hydration purposes when I'm out fishing :D
If you have never had Innis & Gunn then try one. The Original and the Rum Cask are both very good and go well with a steak.
Slainte!

99' Drifter 1500
:P Labatt 50.
I'm St. Pauli Girl all the way.
Nothing makes me enjoy a beer more than huge german tits right on my bottle.
OK; this list is getting real interesting so I thought I'd mention that I'm married to one of the many great, great, great, grandaughters of the very prolific brewmasters from Germany who started Piel Beer in NY City. You may remember Shultz and Duly, voiced by Bob and Ray? Great family that has quarterly get togethers and they don't drink much beer; wine goes down well with the foods that we all prefer. The stories of the brothers who started the place are ribald and more fun to listen to than you'd imagine. Prohibition was a real business challenge and the new Ken Burns documentary trailers look very good.
Now, on a more serious note, we're expecting snow tomorrow but my 2005, 1500 needs a front tire. I've been using stock Dunlops since I bought my '99 but have often heard talk herein of better tires; just can recall where. What's the best white wall out there; I think it'll go good with the two tone black/gray?
Thanks,
Varooom
A COLD ONE !
Spanish beer that I can rarely get in Texas called Alhambra Reserva 1925.
Negra Modelo. Mexican Beer, dark, champagne bottle. Especially good after an afternoon of scuba diving!
I like the ole fat tire beer myself.
lot of good choices here... guiness is a fav but have you tried a shor of rasberry liquor in it?? (chambord or razmataz) ... called a black beauty and is awesome!!!
... latest and greatest choice though is Southern Tier's CHOKLAT... rated 100 out of 100 points on the beer scale.
FAT TIRE
Yep, Fat Tire is good...
When I drank... I chose Southpaw Light. Less than 7 bucks for a twelve-pack short-necks.
I've been dry since 2004.
Congratulations for the effort...today is the 32 anniversary of my being sober...
Thanks, and congratulations to you brother. It's because the road is hard that makes the destination that much sweeter.
I rarely drink, but when I do it's Guinness or Sopporo black if I can find it. Murphy's if not. nothing clear and yellow.
WAY back when, I was introduced to Sapporo, and Kirin and Asahi..(mix that with a shot or two of Suntory)...all local beers, when I did an r&r in Tokyo...but, as I remember from those daze...Carta Blanca Dark when I could get it...
Hacker-Pshorr's Octoberfest. Best beer ever made. Hard to find though
A cold one!!! LOL My preference is pale ale, like "Alexander Keith India Pale Ale". However, a would never say "no" to a "Fat Tire" .....and I'm not talking the tire on the bike!!! ;D
Regards and such,

I am more a social drinker but i am very picky with beer ( never said i have good taste just picky ). The ones i actually like the flavor is monte carlo with tomato squeezed in, tradition I found when I visited Guatamala. Pilsener of El Salvador. dos xx and tiger.
Originally from a small town called Stevens Point, WI where they brew Point Special Beer. My all time favorite is a brew they make called Point Amber. If you ever see it and like red beers, it won't disappoint.
STEVENS POINT!!! You know what SPASH is...
I like the new Cream Ale that Redhook is putting out in honor of their worker who got killed when a keg exploded this spring, Ben Harris Beer. It's got some of the Genny Cream Ale taste of Rochester, NY of the 1970's but a lot more class. They call it Ben's beer. Very fine company!
Varooom
My favorite used to be Lienenkugle Northwoods, but they either don't make it anymore, or no longer ship it out to the east coast.
Normally I's say "The next one!" but I had a "couple' of Atwater Double Down Imperial Amber Ales over the weekend. Mighty tasty. (I wasn't riding)
Great topic. Here are mine:
Fat Tire, Red Molly and my go to beer Sam Adams Boston Lager. You can get Sammy just about anywhere.
ive made the perverbial switch from fat tire to sam adams boston lager. prety good s///t.
Give the Sam Adams Cherry Wheat a try.
Dan
When have the occasion for a beer I'll usually go for a Murphy's Irish Stout.
Guiness Stout. occasionally
She has taste!

Was there ever any doubt......I ride a DRIFTER!!!
Actually, no, but it's nice to have confirmation!
I ain't so picky give a Natty Light or a Bud or a bottle single malt scotch and bag a nut's in the shell and I am happy son of B_t_ch...
Its not to cold here in the OBX to ride...most of the year it OK...in the evening it gets little cold sometime's got to pry me fingers off the grips..LOL But I know what ya mean when ya say to cold to ride.. I use to live up in Western Massachusetts....it freaking cold there in the winter, one of the reasons I moved here.
Cheers..!!
Guiness..well if you count stout as beer..

Graduated from it, myself! Nice to know somebody else knows the place.
Smithwicks!
Just had Hibernation Ale from Great Divide Brewing Co. It was part of a "pick your own six" pack from the Krogers. It was definitely the best of the six I picked.
Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale
Free 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.

Just discovered Imperial Stout from a microbrewery near the RV park here in Las Cruces, NM that might be better than Guiness!

Have you tried the Smithwicks? Guiness bought their brewery and now make it. It is similar to their stout. I think its better than.

Simply Budweiser
I've drank Smithwicks for a long time and I really like it. 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). 8)
Up here in Canadastan :o 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.

I do like Fat Tire... Right now I have Harp, Smithwick, Guinness (3 versions), Fat Tire and Murphy's in my beer fridge. And, all this talk is making me thirsty... but still have to work!!!

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!
Smithwicks is different from Guinness and compliments it well... I make a BlackSmith... half Guinness and half Smithwick's.
Yup, 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!
Hear-Hear!!
Tooheys Old. A black beer found mainly in NSW Australia. Nothing better!

So THAT'S what that waitress the other night was trying to say!!! 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 have not had any alcohol since 1994. Noticed that I had a problem and decided it was time to do something about it. But, back in the day my favorite was ice cold Lonestar "Longnecks", PBR and my favorite in Germany was Zirndorfer Hell.
The title should read (for me at least) What is you favorite BEER! today.
Today it is Stone Ruination. Tried it last week and thought it a bit to hoppy. I had the rest tonight and I'm impressed. Very good beer.

Recently found a new beer. Batch 19. Not a cheap beer, but man it's good.
Coor's says they dug out an old recipe from pre-prohibition, and this is it.
Good stuff. This is the real deal...
GB does it taste ANYTHING like Coors?! If not, I will try some!

Nothing like it. I should have mentioned that... If I even knew it was made by coors when I first saw it, I might not have even tried it.
Hmmm... come to think about it, I'm on my way in 10 minutes to go pick up a 6-pack of Batch 19.... My mouth is watering....
Franklin has quite a few places listed on their website...

+1 for Batch 19!
Not too light, not too dark.
It's probably the only beer Mrs Moosewayne and I agree on--she'll drink motor oil if its in a pint glass.

Negro Modello is pretty good too, if you like a dark beer.
Oooo, You can't ever go wrong with mexican beers. Those are pretty much the tastiest.
GB delivered some Batch 19 to me while in Ohio! Pretty good lager, IMHO. I am still a Guinness, Murphy's stout kinda guy, but if I wanted a lager, this one would be on my list! Thanks GB.

A man after my own heart! Can't beat a good stout, as far as I'm concerned. I drink lighter stuff most of the time, though - my Drifter's shocks appreciate it!!
WOW Chief you must be special, GB gave you beer, Troll gets to sleep and eat at his house.....I get told to stay in Marion...wow.....
Well, I'm 17 years clean and sober, but I used to love Ice cold San Miguel.....and Coors light. PBR was good to me too......but only icy cold.........Liked Vodka and Grapefruit juice, Rum and Coke and a 7 liquor combo we discovered in Japan called a Hop, skip and go naked! Tasted like Strawberry koolaid!!!!! Oooohh, we had a barracks drink called a buzz bomb.....My-lime 20% alcohol mixer and Vodka........wow!
San Miguel light or dark? Suntory and a bottle of Asahi ...mixed! Sometimes I miss it, but 34 years come 01 April Kirin was good for a change of pace!
San Miguel Light,........and liked the Kirin. 150yen a bottle I think at the time. I was at Iwakuni........a grunt "swing'in with the wing". Did alot of shopping trips to Osan, Korea. My CO was flying a desk, but liked to take one of the old C-47's over to Korea to buy tennis shoes and boots. We'd ride along. This plane had been in service since 1939! We had two others for parts.

I'm an IPA guy all the way . . . the higher the IBU's, the better! Here are just a small few of my favorites:

I'm always hoppy to hear a good cheesy pun! (I'm done now, I promise) :D
For the India Pale Ale (not the IPA) guys. Ballantine India Pale Ale is back after over twenty years....not the triple X brewed by Falstaff (which is still and has always been around), but the India Pale Ale. Bought my last 6-pack in the mid 1990's. At that time, the triple X was $2.50 a six pack and the India Pale Ale was $4.50 a six pack. The latest version is brewed by Pabst and is just what an English India Pale Ale should taste like IMHO.
So that means I was drinking this stuff before the craft brew revolution and before it was called "IPA." It is only recently back on the market. I have already gone through several cases. Give it a try, although it is not being distributed in every state. Those old enough will remember it. I'm 58.
As an aside, when there was no Ballantine India Pale Ale, I was drinking Wild Goose India Pale Ale which was brewed in Maryland. When they went out, the closest other India Pale Ale I could find that I liked for regular drinking was Full Sail India Pale Ale out of Oregon.
The Ballantine is 7.2%, but you'd never know it. Nice tasting without being harsh and smooth on the finish.
When visiting my buddy in Alabama, I'll have a few of these. haven't seen any round here though.
I'll bet no one remembers Elephant beer.
My new favorite is a craft beer from Port Perry Ontario from the old Flame Brewery in a little brown jug.
You can have the Blond I'll take the Brunet any day! The Red's not bad either.
My old favorite is New Belgium's Fat Tire beer from the Southern States which you can't get in Canada unfortunately, I've tried. I wish I had a Fat Tire (not necessarily for my bike). :P
That Fat Tire is good stuff. Used to only be able to get it out west -- whenever my co-worker or boss went out there, I'd have them pack-mule me back a six or so. now it's available locally. Their other brews are pretty good too.
Heineken Old Brown. I am curious if this is globally available since Heineken would rival their own fake export product. They can not change taste on "oud bruin" since it isn't either bitter or sour. People who do not drink beer on a regular basis buy this.
(https://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi67.tinypic.com%2F1zh0506.jpg&hash=b4e2c74ad68149e67f0e9b4ee0bc434ddf7e7ad9)
When I was in NY, I really liked Yuengling. Very good, but I think the farthest east they go on distribution is maybe eastern Ohio.
I'm a sporadic drinker, and generally settle for Blue Moon, but like trying different ones if something catches my eye. The one attached made me smirk, so I bought a six pack. I can't say it's all that good, though, as I generally like the more full-bodied or darker beers. Not a fan of Guinness though.
My Favorite beer is Ginger Beer! The stuff with pieces of ginger floating in it is usually the good stuff. Many micro-facilities doing excellent Ginger Beer these days.

I hear you on this. There are many beverages other than beer or alcohol.
What about scotch, any scotch drinkers? My favorites are 18 year old Glenmorangie Single Malt which I don't buy very often due to the price up here in Canada (only at the duty free store) next 18 year old Glenfiddich Single Malt , Johnnie Walker Black Label and 10 year old Glenmorangie which is about 1/4 the price of 18 yr Glenmorangie here in Canada.

Oh, yeah! Lived in Scotland, went back for a visit in 15 - did a Scotch "tour". Personally, I like - as a treat - a peaty Scotch... one of the few left is Laphroaig. I drink nothing younger than 18 yo. I have a small cask which ages whisky quickly... its about 50 years old now.
Wow, I'm talking to a scotch connoisseur. Here I thought I was enlightened but obviously if you have your own cask for aging that's a whole different level. You buy scotch then put it in the cask and age it some more? Where did you get this cask?
I know what you mean by a peaty scotch, I have tried a few like that. I will see if Laphroaig is available in Canada (and in my price range). Scotch for me isn't something I drink in large quantities. It's just for sipping on occasion. A bottle will last me for some time. A scotch tour will be on the top of my agenda when we go in a few years.
Used to drink much more than I did. But I started getting migraines from drinking and could not function the next day. I still do try to live "for the old P" but it is like playing Russian Roulette; I may get a migraine and I may not. Now I just limit myself to a beer or two and drink lots of coffee. Coffee makes the world go round!

Used to drink much more than I did. But I started getting migraines from drinking and could not function the next day. I still do try to live "for the old P" but it is like playing Russian Roulette; I may get a migraine and I may not. Now I just limit myself to a beer or two and drink lots of coffee. Coffee makes the world go round!
And here I thought all this time it was Tea!
Damn Zoar, I was just in Binghamton last month for training. I did drink a share of Yeulings went I was there. One at a time of course! P.

My condolences.
Binghamton was just in the news... Again. The crappiest economic recovery and poorest economy and one of the worst places to live in NY state! I live in Ithaca and this area is BOOMING economically and rated as one of the best places to live in the USA!
And not even an hour away from each other!
Amazing what a few miles and bad, stupid, myopic, ignorant and arrogant politics... or GOOD, smart, astute, far-reaching politics will get ya.
I forget. What was the big industry in Binghamton before; IBM, Corning, or some such companies?
Shoes!
Shoes, shoes, and more shoes! The industry died 45 years ago and no one had enough brains or forethought to replace it! Bad governance. Bad leadership. They tried to bring in the PRISON INDUSTRY.... Wow, truly a dumb and economically horrendous idea.
Corning is in Corning NY and they are still there. In fact, Corning NY would be a cesspool just like Binghamton were it NOT for Corning. That is about all Corning has. Another example of NO diversification. If Corning Inc moves Corning NY will be just like Binghamton. An economic, cultural and social failure.
Meanwhile other places less than an hour away THRIVE.
The reasons are not mysterious.
Diversity and sensible investment in sustainable, growth potential businesses which attract smart people, and attracting diverse cultures and interests, funding the arts and cultural diversity.
One thing to avoid: BOOM and BUST industries.

Yuengling Brewery is in my neck of the woods. The brewery tour is a must do thing here. So much history in that place, starting before Prohibition.

I like Tea.
I am drinking a Tea now!
Here's to your health!
Older thread yes! Also rather important! lol Like some here, I drank way too much in my 20's and early 30's. Don't usually keep beer at the house except in the summer. Much prefer draft with friends at a favorite bar. Top pick; Blue Moon. Not crazy about IPA's but do like Sierra Nevada. For something light; Corona or Dos XX. Still enjoy Coors Banquet occasionally.
