Last night my cousin came over and I had a six pack of Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat because a friend of mine who had it said it was pretty good, so we drank a bit and watched Jay Cutler be...Jay Cutler. That got me thinking this morning that what this board needs is a favorite beer thread on top of the best whiskey/bourbon and best burger thread. I'm not a huge drinker, only socially and when I am peer pressured into it. I'm a very open minded beer drinker. I will try anything. If you urinate in a bottle, slap a weird foreign label on it, and let it chill in the fridge...I'm more than likely to try it. Here are my top 5 in no particular order.
1. Stella Artois...it's a good beer to get on tap. It's sweet with a bitter kick. In Europe this is their Budweiser. But here it is a welcome departure from the Domestic mass produced swill from the Busch Family.
2. Yuengling Traditional...A great amber beer that is hard as hell to get around here. My buddy is able to get this stuff once a year and it's a great time when he gets it. If anyone knows how to get some around here let me know.
3. Blue Moon Belgian Pale Ale...It's a very, very good beer. I love to dip my nose into the bottle and get a whiff of the beer before I drink it. I love the smell. Blue Moon has a great smell. Great taste and even better with a slice of Orange.
4. Lobotomy Bock...One of my Albertson's Beer Cooler raids discovered this gem. This is a very good tasting hammer of a beer. 10.5% alcohol. Gets on top of you fast. This is another hard to find beer.
5. Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat...If you can imagine taking a beer and pouring it over a bowl of Fruity Pebbles...this is it. Sound awful? It's not. It's great. Everything about it is great. Except for the morning after.
