Beer

[Jax Husky]

Mine changes all the time, but when I can get a Long Trail Ale, I never pass it up. Pilsner Urquell is a go-to summer beer for me. And Guiness is my football game beer (drink one 14oz can per quarter). Dogfish Head is making some great IPA's (try the 90 minute). There are really too many good ones to list.

Honorable Mentions:
Dale's Pale Ale
Intuition Jon Boat (local here in Jacksonville)

ETA: When drinking crappy domestic swill, I go Miller Lite.

When you start feeling the autumn chill, go for any variety of Innis & Gunn. The rum cask is especially warming.

Hacker Pschorr
Franziskaner
A couple of German wheat beers that are always good during tailgating.


I'm also fond of several of the varieties of Redhook's beers.

And for anyone giving you grief over Bud Light or any other mass produced light beer, don't worry. They won't sneak up on you and leave you lying in the parking lot hammered drunk and they won't overpower any food on the menu.

Yes, they definitely have their place. Show me a beer snob that won't drink some form of a mass produced domestic, and I'll show you a guy that has a 3 beer max.

Sounds like me.

Not that there's anything wrong with that J/K

I go for most things Long Trail or Sierra Nevada. Love my Dales as well. Founders makes great beers but it's expensive. Coors Light for or Bud Heavy for cheap stuff/drinking in bulk.

Butch, unfortunately you aren't a really hot 20 year old female junior.

Gotta agree with Chin on the Hacker Pschorr ... and Spaten Oktoberfest a close second. For a local flavor I've been hooked on the Hartford Steam Nurse lately.

And I also agree on the domestic light theory ... nothing wrong with and ice cold Coor's light after mowing the lawn in 95 degree heat!

This thread has me stooooked for fall seasonals and tailgating.

Then I guess the screen name is apropo

Lagunitas is a very good brewery out of Petaluma CA, enjoyed all of their stuff that I've tried. On par with Dogfish Head or Long Trail.

 

[YearoftheHusky]

Delirium Tremens
Moa Breakfast 12
New Belgium Cascara 22
Kronenbourg Blanc or 1664
Kentucky Bourbon Double Barrel Ale or Stout
Lost Coast Great White
Sweet Water Happy Ending

Some of those I have been working on lately.

 

[Husky92]

Too many good ones to name, but most are covered here.

Lately I've been enjoying a Hooker Munson's Chocolate Truffle Stout. Not a light summer beer, but delicious nonetheless.

 

[sanchez42885]

for local brews Two Roads White IPA , Workers Comp Saison, and Road 2 Ruin Double IPA are great- not a fan of the pilsner however

Ten Penny Ale is also a good one- only in growlers

If anyone is ever in the Mystic/Stonington area on a Friday- Sunday check out Beer'd Brewing Company. Its a nanobrewery and you can only get growler fills there but they always have a nice rotation of new IPA's and their Whisker'd Wit which is always on tap is awesome!

A nice lineup there! Since our palates are so close, try a stone IPA (not the ruination, though that's also very good). It's a knockout ipa.

I just saw 4 packs of 12 oz bottles of Ten Penny Ale, and I think some other brews from Burnside at Liquor Land in Hamden.

Oh for the"Beer Snob Drinkable beer", the Sessions ales from Full Sail are quite good. Come in short bottles. Still waiting for Rheingold to be re-resurrected (though that actually wasn't that great, it was more of an hipster beer after PBR's went from uncool to hipster cool to hipster passe).
