I'm too young to drink beer.


So I stick to bourbon. ;D

In all seriousness though, I just can't drink beer anymore for some very odd reason. I used to enjoy my micro brews and such but now all beer just gives me a headache after two pints, if even that much. I'm ok with that though, because, I much prefer the taste as well as the personality of bourbon and whiskey vs that of most beers.

My favorite brewery has to be Stone. I absolutely love nearly all of their brews. So any of them.. count me in any day of the week.

I could really go for a while, but I'll spare you all since most of you have mentioned some of my favs already.

I also like Three Floyds, Dogfish head, Rogue, Green Man ales, brugge brasserie, etc. I could go on for days haha.


I also like me some fine bourbon and some rums. Vodka's here and there. Some of my favorites;

Buffalo trace, kraken, crystal head, kilo kai, Root, Snap, etc.

I don't always drink beer... but when I do, I DON"T drink Dos XX...

Actually, when I do drink beer, I like:

Sammy Adams & Sammy Adams light for lager
Moose Drool, (Montana), for brown lager

My preference, however, is a nice smooth dram of Bourbon whisky, neat.

I'm English so I've been used to the typical English beers for most of my life... there's nothing really that special that's widely available. I found some great beers though from a company called Samuel Smith's. Now, however, I live in Germany so I'm spoiled for choice. Every beer I taste is awesome and I love the fact that law states that no companies can add anything bad to their beer so they're all great tasting. As I live in Cologne I tend to drink Kölsch beers such as Reissdorf but I also like beers from Hamburg like Astra... :)

You can never go wrong with that!

For light beers, my favorite is Budweiser.
For everything else, whatever is the special at the Rocky River Brewing Company. They brew some great beer!

For light beers, I usually go w/Bud Light or Budweiser. There's a restaurant/brewhouse called BJ's and they have this amazing dark beer called "PM Porter". It was the first dark beer I'd ever tried but it has hints of chocolate and molasses and it has a nice finish. It's served in a big glass too so I usually have a nice buzz after finishing it lol.

I tried different beers across the world and ended up opting for the German “Pilsner” and the Irish “Guinness”. I have my occasional “Miller Lite” or a “Bud lite” when I have to have wake up early and not have massive hang over because normally I would not normally go to bed with a few shots of “Jack Daniels”- whiskey, just kidding, I save my whiskey for those special nights only… :D

Guinness is and will forever be one of my favorites! Especially when they do those special mixes at my pub! deliciously smooth!

Really? I tried every beer there and sent everyone back after one or two sips. I was extremely disappointed in a local brewery like that.
