Beer thread

I'm currious what is your favourite beer, gamers on the forum?

I'm sure you like to grab a bottle from the fridge from time to time and dive into gaming world, don't you?

Are you more into big brewery names or you prefere small local brands?

As for me, local brands are more than fine but when I choose something more recognizable, it's most likely a Budweiser.

Im in AUS so for full strength beer Id say Hahn Premium or Crown Lager but mostly lately Ive been getting this light beer called Tooheys Blue Ice,very easy to drink that one.

Oh,and dont believe what they say about that well known Aussie beer called 'Fosters',its damn terrible.

I am a beer snob to the fullest, but not my choice....I just can't stand the taste of Budweiser, Crown, etc. It grosses me out.

My favorite beer is "6 Geese-A-Laying."

*Drool* You just reminded me of my love for sparkling ale. Memorial Day is here, so it is the perfect excuse to go get my some alcohol.

Among local brands in my country there's an extremaly drinkable Raciborskie. Delicious and refreshing since 1567

Quite honestly I am not sure how anyone can play video games without a beer. Like Alex, I too am a snob when it comes to beer. I absolutely refuse to drink a large variety of beers.

Some favorites:

Revolution's Anti-Hero -- What I have in the fridge right now.
Bell's Two-Hearted Ale -- What I usually have in the fridge.
Flying Dog's Raging Bitch -- For those CS: GO nights.
Three Floyd's Zombie Dust -- What I have when I can find it; usually at the pub.

All-Time Favorite:

Bell's Hopslam -- Sadly, being seasonal, this one is limited to a winter release only.

I'm probably the only one here that doesnt drink beer. I have in the past, but beer is not for me. I need quality in my life. Beer was created for the lower class, enough said. And no offence with that comment either, I just prefer quality. Im a healthy guy what can I say..

This comment makes no sense. Nor is beer "unhealthy." Excessive amounts, yes--obviously--but too much of anything is always a bad thing. In fact, studies--now we can all take these studies with a grain of salt, I guess--have proven that beer is in fact healthy for numerous reasons. Again, not an excessive amount of beer.

And life-pointer: Not associating yourself with something "lower class" doesn't place you any higher on the social hierarchy.

Um, you do know that beer has been around for thousands of years in its earliest forms (9500 years ago in the Neolithic era) before a "lower class" even existed; before a class system existed. Basically since humans began cultivating grains. You're not special or "higher quality" than anyone else. You make yourself look like an asshat and prejudiced by making statements like that. Not to mention proves you have no idea what you are talking about.

To get back on subject, my go to beer is Yeungling. When you want a good, light but not heavy lager that is refreshing at the bar or at a picnic, that's the one for the occasion. Other than that, I've been hitting up bars lately that serve craft brews from local and national breweries. Probably my favorite craft company is Flying Fish in my native state. Haven't had one from them I haven't liked yet. Anderson Valley seems to make pretty good beers. Also enjoyed a few from Lagunitas but a couple of their beers have missed the mark for me.

Bought a six-pack of Three Floyd's Alpha King Pale Ale for the first time; it was a beer I have yet to taste--best decision I made all day. It is too early to tell, but I think it might weasel its way into my top five.

Hmm. I'll have to keep an eye out for it. Never heard of Three Floyd's. May not be in my state.

The brewery is in Indiana, I am in Chicago. You might actually be able to pick it up at a Binny's or something like that as I believe they are pretty renowned.

Awesome man. I've only really ever had maybe one or two Jack and cokes, but that was a long time ago and they were not even a full glass (never liked the taste of alcohol). Also never taken any drugs so plus one to me?

 

[Oberon]

Not even beer on hot days guys?
Haze: Surely you can appreciate how hot Australia can get in the summer? You need a beer then...Oh wait..you're in Tassie right? I forgot it doesnt get hot there.

 

[Haze]

Haha. Yep. Freezing cold at the moment, so on a "healthy" diet of coffee

Now we need a "Coffee thread." I found a k-cup on my table a few moments ago and cannot wait to wake up tomorrow; problem is, I cannot sleep tonight.

 

[Haze]

Yes. A coffee thread is needed!
