What's your fav. beer?

For you guys that make your own beer where do you get supplies and is it hard? I go enjoy wheat beer and lagers. I thought about making beer but it's seems hard any info?

    Probably Spaten Uhrmaerzen Oktoberfest, also like Paulaner Hefe Weissen, and the occasional guiness. Never touch domestic beer except microbrew.

    I make an English bitters that is great. Use a lot of hops. I make a good stout, too. I am a big fan of Guiness. Used to have a girlfriend that liked Guinness, rare for a girl.

    I tend to like the littler Mexican beers, Negra Modelo and
    Carta Blanca are my favorite when you can find them.

    Drinking a can of my favorite right now - Old Milwaukee.





    Well, I never HAVE claimed to be a man of refined tastes, unless we're talking about Scotch. In that case, I prefer a good single malt, my favorite being The Glenlivet, with just a splash of water, if you please.

    .218--How about a Michelob Honey Lager?

    I'm not much of a drinking man. I've seen too many lives wasted away by booze. However, a cold Miller Lite once in a great while with a well-prepared meal sure does hit the spot.

    idsman,never tried that one,but the
    Amber Bock is good.I like MGD pretty good too.

    I don`t drink during the week,
    unless I`m out to dinner with Mrs Bee,
    then I`ll have 2 or 3.

    Now the weekends,while out of town for a show,
    I`ve been known to step it up a notch.

    Guiness is my favorite, but because of the price I only get it on holidays, and occasionally when we go out to eat someplace nice. Other than that, you can beat on Old Style on a hot summer day, with the Cubs on the radio.

    Bottled Favorites are Bass Ale and Bohemia, but I work on the boder near Tecate, Mexico and am friends with the manager of the Tecate Brewery. So I drink Tecate Beer quite often.

    Tried brewing my own a while back. Let me know if you would like a bottle of "Crazy Osuma's Camel P*ss" I used too much suger so it has half the taste and twice the alcohol.

    way to go ROBSGUNS, Miller high life, miller lite, and coors lite. Of course as I look out my office window, I see the inventory of 200,000 cases building up for our beach season and think that any one of these brands has been my favorite at one time or another. SOOOO MANY BEERS, SO LITTLE TIME.

    When in doubt...empty the magazine!!

    Miller Lite.

    My Dad had a Red Strip poster in his liquer store years ago, that I will never forget....made me want to drink beer and get married...never did know her name...

    I forgot to answer the original question....where to get worts...Frugal Home Brewer in Waukesha, Wisconsin...and Home Brewing Depo in Milwaukee. Midwest Homebrewing Supplies ( midwestsupplies.com ) and The Brew Hut ( thebrewhut.com ) These last two will mail order rapidly...

    Buy your hops as fresh as possible, or frozen. I stay away from pellets, as they are messier, and tend to cloud the brew.

    Get a copy of "The Brewmaster's Bible" as there are very good directions for brewing from extract (the cheater meathod), and from mash, which in my opinion is the only true beer. The book contains many good recipies, and many techniques which are hepfull for developing your own style of brew...

    keep lots of extra uppers for your ar..you can change often enough to keep the thing from over heating...what ever caliber fits the moment..~Secret Select Society of Suave Stylish Smoking Jackets~

    I like Hefe Weizen, Heineken, Corona, Dos Equis, Miller High Life (in the bottle), Miller Lite, Killian's Red, Guiness, Bass Ale, Grolsch, Amstel Light, ...

    You know, it's easier to just say I can't stand Pabst, Busch, Old Style, Milwaukee's Best or any other ultra-cheap crap.

    I also enjoy several types of home brews, but I've also had a few that were terrible.

    Beer is good.

    I like many kinds of beer, but my favorites have to be Spaten's Oktoberfest and Franciskaner's Hefe Dunkel. If I can find Boddington's on tap, I'm there. I also make my own beer, though I haven't had the time lately. If you are starting out, get Papazian's book The Joy of Homebrewing and try to get with some other brewers. There's nothing like seeing how it's done first hand. My favorite mail-order supply house is Beer, Beer, and More Beer (www.morebeer.com). If you order more than $40 worth, shipping is free.

    WOOF.

    There is a bar in Dana Point, CA, very close to the water, down by the marina, it makes the best micro brewry beer in the world, I think, I had forgot about it. Its the best beer I have ever had, its a dark beer, dont know what it is or what they call it, but man, its good. I could have been a little biased though, I had just walked from Oceanside to Dana Point, it was a nice day, but I was pretty dry when I got there. Talk about young and dumb?

    I used up my entire life's quota of alcohol early in life, but when I used to drink I liked Dos Equis (XX) a lot -- then one day I drove down to Tijuana and ate in a restaurant where they served Tres Equis (XXX) which is a paler premium beer. I quickly found one or two places in L.A. where one could find imported XXX and began buying that too.

    When I couldn't get the Mexican beers I would drink whatever sounded good -- Heineken (Clint Eastwood's brand), Michelob, Bud, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Hamm's, Coors, Rolling Rock, Busch, Miller -- I went through phases. At midwestern weddings, I used to drink the local drafts like Falstaff or Old Crown Ale, which could be pretty terrible if they'd "gone off." I believe I've also tried Carling Black Label, Drewery's and a few of the other defunct old favorites.

    Perhaps it shouldn't surprise anyone, given all that, that I'm now a sober 'oldtimer.'

    I'm with supermonkey. Make mine a Fat Tire.

    I always keep a stock Bud Light on hand as well...just to make sure all the bases are covered for guests. Glasses are always chilled in the freezer, along with small tumblers for Jack and martini glasses in case it's not just the guys hanging out.
