Well, hardly ever. I (mostly) quit when I noticed my waist expanding faster than the current deficit (that was somewhere in my mid to late 30’s). When I did (or do) drink beer, I mostly enjoye(d) dark beers.
Caldera brewing IPA (in a can)
Standing stone DIPA, straight from the tap into growlers
For the pregame and first inning, Full Sail Limited, it is similar to Corona but way better, with lime. Also full sail IPA for the late innings.

This is a great thread.
-Stone Brewing Co. Arrogant Bastard Ale is one of the best dam ales ever created
- Ballastpoint Brewing Co. Big Eye IPA is way wicked.
- Deschutes Brewing Co. Cinder Cone Red Ltd. It’s like drinking liquid candy
- Anderson Valley Brewing Co. Boont Amber Ale. Smooth and sweet
- Bear Republic Brewing Co. Red Rocket Ale. When you want to get f**ked up with good shit.
Arrogant Bastard is amazing, Double Bastard sounds good but don’t do it- trust me.
If you ever want a good beer that will hit you like a truck try Jew’bilation 12 from He’brew. In fact all the He’brew line is pretty good.
My go to beer used to be Sam Adams before I started boycotting everything from Boston, now I’d prefer a Sierra Nevada.
Ballast Point: I love the Yellow tail Pale Ale also
Deschutes: Porter and Mirror Pond PA are personal Favorites
Lost Coast Brewery: Great White. Without question my favorite, especially for pre-game.
…I can’t believe I once wore a powder blue leisure suit with two-tone brown high heel shoes. And no amount of alcohol seems to erase these painful memories…
My girlfriend thought I’d look good in it. The things we do for love…
A friend signed me up for the beer of the month club...
…knowing I don’t drink beer. He figured he could come over and drink the beer he got as a gift to me. All the beers were from micro-breweries aroung the USA.
One of the beers was “Trout Slayer Ale” from a micro-brewery in Montana. It was damn good. Give it a try if you can find it.
I got revenge on my friend by re-gifting most of the beers I received in the mail. Smartass.
and when you buy it by the jug (1 or 2 gallon I think) to take home, if you have an old jug from before and trade it in, I think you get like a dollar off.
…tend to find it mostly in bottles rather than in the cask and real ale out of the bottle doesn’t do it for me. It kind of sneaks up on you too – >5% alcohol.
The brewery, Greene King / Morland, doesn’t produce much worth drinking.
Murphy’s Stout
Widmer Droptop Amber
Newcastle Brown
Eye of the Hawk – Mendocino Brewing Company
Gordon Biersch Marzen.
If you like Gordon Biersch brews, I recently found out that Trader Joes and Costco’s store brand are brewed by Gordon Biersch…. and they are way cheaper and just as good.
someone mentions Lost Coast! All their stuff is great. Humboldt County: shit town, great great exports!

that commercial makes it look like so much fun. i think the blonde girl in the orange is cathy lee crosby from “that’s incredible” and nailing joe theismann fame.
I have still yet to find that perfect beer, these are the beers I most often choose.
Stone Pale, IPA, Arrogant Bastard, Ruination, Levitation
Lagunitas I.P.A., (or anything else they release)
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Fat Tire
Shiner Bock
Deschutes Mirror Pond Pale Ale
Deschutes Green Lakes Organic Ale
Firehouse Pale Ale ($5.99 at Albertsons for a six pack in SD)
And last but not least, anything from the tap at Pizza Port (I hope some of you have heard of the place).

Red Tail Ale. It’s the only beer I know that consistently tastes as fresh and lively as a good home-brewed beer.
I think the finest beer in the world is actually Pilsner Urquell, and if I lived in the Czech Republic and could get it fresh on tap I’d probably go around with a light buzz all the time. But here, you never know whether it’s going to be light-struck.
…to this pub where Havel took Clinton a couple of years back. They just don’t settle for a light buzz there – seeming to aim generally for somewhere between ‘crippled’ and ‘comatose’. The pubs only tend to sell one drink as well – whichever of the two big beers they prefer. No faffing about with soft-drinks or wine, no TV or music – the guy dishing out the beer (I couldn’t really say barman, because I don’t recall seeing a bar as such, just this beer filling zone working at overdrive) comes round with a bit of torn cardboard and a pencil and just marks with a pencil line each time you order more and that’s your tab. It works out at about a dollar a beer (these are not small beers either).
Just a highly efficient, stripped down venue for getting you as drunk as possible in the minimum amount of time.
Not necessarily that particular place, but still, I get a picture of a place where people at least take life a bit more seriously than hereabouts. I mean, I don’t see the group you describe being too concerned about Brangelina or Balloon Boy.
1. Simpler Times! Lager. If you’ve never tried this beer, head on down to your nearest Trader Joe’s and grab some. They sell it for $3 a 6-pack, and it has a surprisingly wonderful taste and a 6.2% alcohol content!
I have a few big favorites
Pliny the Elder and Pliny the Younger
Speedway Stout
Anything by Anderson Valley Brewing Co.
When I’m just hanging out I drink Budweiser or Coor’s Original.

The Moose Drool Brown Ale was also good (same micro-brewery).

1. Bud Light because it’s cheap and goes down easy. Sam’s Club 20-pack bottles for $12.
2. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

I saw it on a TV show and was able to find some here in the states. I got sick off it one night and puked by brains out (not drunk).

I agree, amazing. Sweeter than you’d expect, did not taste strong at all, and one glass will hit you like a wall on an empty stomach
Neo8234 - October 21, 2009
LOVE that stuff
chairmanofthebar - October 21, 2009
I should add
they refused to let us buy it by the pitcher because of the alcohol content
Neo8234 - October 21, 2009
We were lucky...
Our waitress let us get a Growler refill. My wife didn’t believe how strong it was and was tanked after 1.5

I went to Prague for a weekend in 2006...
…to this pub where Havel took Clinton a couple of years back. They just don’t settle for a light buzz there – seeming to aim generally for somewhere between ‘crippled’ and ‘comatose’. The pubs only tend to sell one drink as well – whichever of the two big beers they prefer. No faffing about with soft-drinks or wine, no TV or music – the guy dishing out the beer (I couldn’t really say barman, because I don’t recall seeing a bar as such, just this beer filling zone working at overdrive) comes round with a bit of torn cardboard and a pencil and just marks with a pencil line each time you order more and that’s your tab. It works out at about a dollar a beer (these are not small beers either).
Just a highly efficient, stripped down venue for getting you as drunk as possible in the minimum amount of time.

I'm a lightweight, but I love:
Anything from Wasatch Brewing co … They’ve got a great Apricot Hefeweisen ….
Also I’m currently vacationing in Hawaii & loving the Longboard from Kona brewing co …. It’s on tap everywhere here … So good!
