Fat Tire


Shiner Bock

1. We seem to go different directions in our BREW preferences...

I like my beer a bit....chewier.

I'd be happy with six of these:

2. Hmm, I've never tried that

and I've never had success with chocolate beer, but perhaps I'll give that brew a chance if I see it sometime.

Chewy, eh? Do you like oatmeal stouts? This one is good ...

[Richard Steele]

3. Yes, the folks at Breckenridge Brewery do good work!

I'm pretty much an 'easy sell' for anything with "STOUT" in the title.

My current fave is from a fairly new Microbrewer here in NC:


This stuff has been getting GREAT reviews;
don't be surprised if it shows up at a store near you in the next few years.

12. Cool, I'll keep my eye out for it

I do like the Breckenridge. In fact, I don't think I've had a Breckenridge beer that I didn't like.

4. A question after my own heart.

Goose Island Honker's Ale

Brooklyn Monster Ale

John Courage Amber

Fraoch Heather Ale

Smithwick's Ale

New Glarus Belgian Red

[Richard Steele]

5. I just tried the Brooklyn Monster Ale over the holidays...

I was kinda disappointed.
Brooklyn usually does such great stuff; maybe I expected too much?

6. I can't explain it.

I too tried it over the holidays, and was completely knocked out. It was heavenly.

[Richard Steele]

7. Well, there's no accounting for taste, is there?

Apparently, you are not alone; lots of people think it's great.

Just didn't quite hit the right notes with me;
the low end seemed abit muddled and indecisive,
while the top was just too 'hoppy'.

[mac56]

8. Ah well, there you go.

It's good we don't all like the same thing, or else we'd all be drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon.

[fishwax]

10. I've tried a few of those

I'll have to seek out the Wisconsin Belgian Red, though--that looks intriguing :toast:

[sazemisery]

9. I like...

I can only drink 4

[fishwax]

11. I like a lot of the flying dog beers

I've had a few that I didn't care for at all, but most of them I've liked (alas, I can't remember which is which :))
