KRC Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Where is it manufactured? Is it available nationwide? I don't remember ever seeing it in the premium beer section. 225345[/snapback] Belgium. I have found it various places around the country and the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

col_forbin Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I like to drink!!!!!!!!!! Doesn't matter what, why, who, or where. Hell I don't even care if it's cold or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 When I went to Disney, one of the waitresses (at EPCOT's England restaurant) said that Stella Artois, a Belgian beer, is the best-selling beer in England. I found that interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadBuffaloDisease Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I LOVE the taste of cold! Now Coors OTOH... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanfromAlbany Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Yup. It is considered one of the best beers in the world by most beer critics. 225341[/snapback] KRC -Have you tried Ommegang's Witte beer? They brew it in Cooperstown and I see it in a lot of beer store here in NY but I'm not sure if it's available out-of-state. Very refreshing, tastes great. Nice summer beer.

Kevbeau Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Yup. It is considered one of the best beers in the world by most beer critics. 225341[/snapback] I thought so too, but some uppity Beligian corrected me and it's pronounced "who-garden." I'd also recommend some other Belgians, like Leffe, Kwak, Triple Karmel (pretty sure it's Belgian) and Chimay (Blue is the best). As for Coors Light, it's my beer of choice for all landscaping activities and post hockey game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three are good, but like you said the blue (Grande Reserve) is the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanNC Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Microbrews and homebrews are often stereotyped as being heavy and dark, but you can homebrew any style of beer you want. Hell, I could easily clone Coors or Budweiser if I wanted to, I'd just substitute about half of my grain bill with corn and rice and voila!.... you have your typical American style light beer. I just brewed a Hefeweizen for my wife, it's a very light German wheat beer, lightly hopped. The yeast strain unique to the style produces clove & banana-like flavors, thus it's often popular with the ladies.

No matter what I tried that he and his son said were "great" were always very bitter or just seemed "off". Sorry, but I just like the mass produced, know-what-I'm-getting beers. I like consistancy.

Grant Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I don't get the appeal of the "...and TWINS!" marketing campaign. Someone explain why imagining yourself in a threeway involving incest is attractive, let alone helps sell beer. Talk about appealing to the lowest common denominator.

MadBuffaloDisease Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I had stella Artois beer when I was there, its good beer. I thought it was very Heineken-like, which to me is kind of skunky. My favorite beer is Bass ale. I occasionally go to the local liquor store where they have virtually every brew and "microbrew" available, and keep coming back to Bass.

Stella and Heineken on tap are much more tolerable (but not worthy of raves if you ask me). I will agree that there have been moments where Bass has been the best beer I've tasted. Generally my favorites are some of the Brooklyn Brewery offerings (Weisse, Pennant Ale), Saranac (Caramel Porter when they had it was great, and their Pilsner is tasty but light enough), and Bass. If I've gotta drink a light beer, it's Yuengling Light or Blue Light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best I ever had was a chocolate (yes, real chocolate) porter than I brewed with my bro back about 10 years ago. I've GOT to get back into brewing.
