Up here in Minnesota for the holidays, and I've been trying several different beers:
Blue Moon - surprisingly good Leinenkugel's Honey Weiss- good Leinenkugel's Apple Spice - ok Winter Hook Winter Ale - ok Winter Bourbon something or another ale - ok Samuel Smith Imperial Stout - very nice Hacker PSchorr Oktoberfest - very nice
The liquor store up here lets you buy singles, I know that's nothing new for you big city folks, but for us small town peoples, it's a revelation. I'm going to head up there later and try 6-8 more varieties.

I went to Chicago this last week and while I was there I sampled a Polish lager. God help me if I can pronounce it but its something like Tyskie.
What was surprising to me is that for a dark lager it went down VERY smooth and I didn't get the full feeling after one or two that comes with so many other dark beers. At least IMHO. If I can find the name of it I want to see if Specs carries it.

Good place to go for many different beers is Flying Saucer Draught Emporium or the Brewery Tap in downtown H-town

Leinenkugel's has a very good variety of beer. YOu can find the Sunset Wheat in Valero stations in Webster believe it or not. Blue Moon is good in a pinch, the rest I've never heard of.
Munich Spaten lager is OK if you like your poop to turn green! ;D

When we took a play to New York a couple of years back, I discovered a beer there that is actually brewed in Pennsylvania called Yuengling (pronounced ying-ling)...awesome...best beer I have ever had, bar none. I bought a case of it and brought it back to Texas and my friends here really enjoyed it. No sign of it on Texan shelves yet. I found the website if you want to give it a gander. www.yuengling.com

I have tried several "new" and "old" beers lately due to the high cost of everything.
First off, I tried Lone Star again after a long hiatus. I was actually surprised at the smooth taste and pleasant aroma. Not as harsh as Miller or Bud. Ice it down with a littel rock salt added in the chest and damn! Good for cooling down after doing yard work.
Second, I tried Pabst Blue Ribbon after an even longer hiatus. Same as with Lone Star, very surprised by the smoothness and taste. A lot better than anything from any of the mega brewers.
Third, I tried Lienenkugel's Summer Shandy. This is a seasonal brew that is mixed with a little lemonade for a very fresh and clean taste with a great aroma and no bad aftertaste. For Coach, it would probably go good with Twinkies! ;D
We let this thread lapse longer than we should have, but "Never fear, Beer Man is here!" We won't let it sit inactive like that again!

Beer is a wonderful thing but it is more wonderfuller in Europe. I enjoyed my beer excursions in Germany. They have local breweries that don't put any preservatives in their beer and therefore the beer must be kept refrigerated. Every brewery has their own recipes. I got spoiled on that kind of beer in Africa where I had a Czech friend who had a brewery and he wouldn't put preservatives in his beer. I would take home a couple of cases but it was hard to keep it cool and from spoiling because I didn't have a big enough refridge to keep it cold. We didn't have electricity and I had to work with generators. It was hard on the beer and the beer drinkers. The African beer was nasty and scary. I guess you had to develop a taste for Chibuku carton beer.

I have never tried any African beer, but I have heard that it is fine if you want to tempt death. If I want to tempt death with beer, I 'll just drink Iron City!

I never got any furthur than smelling the stuff. But this Czech beer that I did drink was great. The guy who made the beer was also a gourmet cook and man could he cook. We ate crocodile and all sorts of game and good food at his house, he also got us some great wine. He was a good fellow but hard on his wife who eventually left him.

I've been drinking a lot of Shiner Bohemian Black Lager and Shiner 99 when I can my hands on it. Both are excellent brews.
