Favorite beer

I had the Sweetwater Blue tonight. It's their fruit beer. Very very good. Tried a taste earlier this week from KG's stash.

Also had some sort of Oktoberfest, but can't remember what it was.

 

Just about any Nut Brown Ale works for me.

 

Their Blue is almost certainly their best beer, most of which I find fairly mediocre. But Blue is a nice summer beer, though the blueberry flavor does linger a long time, meaning it's not a particularly good session beer.

As far as Oktoberfests go, I like them better than most lagers, but I still detect the distinct odor of feet. Paulaner does a pretty good one, though. Brooklyn has a new one out called Post Road. The Sam Adams one is serviceable, as Oktoberfests go. For fall beers, I lean toward pumpkin ales, myself. I really dig the new Southern Tier PumpKing and the Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale.

 

You drink with Kevin Garnett?

 

Kevin Garnett endorses this in Manilla.




"Pale yellow, airy head. Aroma of methanol and egg fart. Soft and medium bodied. Glue dominates the picture. No bitterness. I wonder what quality control means at Asia Brewery Inc? Do they check if rats survive drinking it, or are they just happy if their product turns out to be a liquid?"

This weekend, my former college editor and I broke bread over Geary's Whiskey Infused Hampshire Special Ale ... wow.

 

might be yuengling....

 

The Brooklyn Post Road is actually their Pumpkin Ale, and it's pretty good. They also have an Oktoberfest, which is OK but nothing special.

This weekend I had the Great Lakes Octoberfest, and I thought it was outstanding. But then again, I've decided I really, really like every Great Lakes I've had, especially the Eliot Ness, which might be tops on my list right now.

 

Great Lakes is one of those breweries that can do little wrong in my books. Their O'fest and Xmas seasonals are titties, and Edmund Fitzgerald is quite possibly the perfect porter (and Mrs. Fly's fave beer).

 

I have heard beer called good and bad, delicious and terrible, shitty and spectacular, but never heard beer called titties!

Fantastic.
