Summer Beer Thread

watching Guinness come out of that tap was a sight to see.....smooth as butter.....

Going to Ireland for my upcoming honeymoon, of course the Guinness Factory will be our first stop. I've had it in the UK before and you are right, the beers are fantastic. Nothing is better than a warm Guinness on a cold rainy evening in London.

God ______...that's cool.

Side note: IT IS NOT OK TO TAKE SOME FROM THE NORMAL COOLER TO MAKE YOUR 6 PACK!!! Although...the 4 out of 6 pack of Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat I had to put back, led me to the freezer where I found no more Sunset Wheat, but a sixer of Optimator.

I always confirm with the beer/wine person of that specific store. Most places it's not ok to break a 6-er for a set price Create Your Own 6-er.

The beer guy at a Kroger in Sugar Land gave me the go-ahead when we first moved there to put whatever I wanted into the create your own 6er, which sold for $9.99 no matter what beers were in the carton. Let's just say I was filling mine with top notch DIPAs and Quads.

He no longer works there. The beer selection has also gone to ____.

HEB and Whole Foods individually price the beers placed on the create rack.

You'll enjoy the factory tour and the tasting afterward. Great view of the city up there.

I'm NOT a Guinness drinker. We were 4 in our group and the other 3 couldn't drink the stuff. I took it for the team and finished their pints.

BTW, enjoy the Irish countryside.

Hi all, I'm not trying to brag but man..... I am currently on my first European trip and currently I am in southern Bavaria region and the beer is fantastic...... I am an avid home brewer and have been longing for some fresh balanced ( key word) lagers. Too many American Brewers try gimmicks with there hops and adjunct additions and quite honestly miss the mark. I am currently in Berchtesgaden, Germany and the hofbrauhaus Berchtesgaden bier is phenomenal being that its a small local brewery made with mountain spring water. Tomorrow I will go to Salzburg and maybe tour Stiegl brewery. Then on to Munchen. If any of you ever have a chance to visit this region, do it. it's amazing history, culture, food, beer, and scenery ( the alps and numerous crystal clear lakes)are amazing! 😉

If you are a soccer fan, Bayern Munchen has a great gift shop and Beer Bar where you can sit and watch practice while you sip a few.

While living in Holland we made a long weekend trip to Luxembourg and Heidelberg....Heidelberg is a University City and was rockin'. We stopped in Bastogne on the way and saw the American Military in Luxembourg. I wanted to visit General Pattons grave.....

Sienna Plantation HEB in Missouri City , which is blocks from my house, has a fine variety of beers.
