KSK Commenter BONUS Draft: Beer
It’s Memorial Day weekend, so let us choose our favorite brews. I have stated many times that I am a beer whore and NOT a beer snob, so any beer suits my fancy. But if you’re more particular, this may be for you. If you missed last evening’s draft, here’s a quick chance to make up for it.
The rules: Pick any beer. If it’s obscure, leave a link. PICK ONE BEER ONLY, COMMENTER LARRY BURNS. Once 10 other people have picked, you may pick another.
My pick? Chimay.
Delicious and TWICE the alcohol!
Enjoy the weekend. Missing your cheerleader? Try a Google search. I’m sure something will turn up.
UPDATE: Different varieties by the same brewer or label are fine.

Worm, I would have gone with Red Tick personally.

May 25th, 2007 at 9:33 am
Good old Budweiser & lots of it!
May 25th, 2007 at 9:33 am
SHENANIGANS! Are you taking all four Chimay beers?
I’m taking the Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA. The hops are fucking incredible. Now that I’m thinking about it I’ll never get any work done.
oh yeah, it also has 20% alcohol!
May 25th, 2007 at 9:34 am
assuming Jason meant Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, I will take the Porter
May 25th, 2007 at 9:34 am
and i’m a complete beer snob.
good pick beaver
May 25th, 2007 at 9:35 am
Are we allowed to repeat breweries?
May 25th, 2007 at 9:36 am
No one said anything about imaginary beers, but I feel bad about duff. I’m gonna go with something more contemporary this time around.
Amstel Light…the beer drinker’s light beer.
May 25th, 2007 at 9:36 am
thanks UM, i’ve been drinking anchor steam since college. and i graduated 14 years ago. i’m an old man compared to most of the commenters here.

May 25th, 2007 at 9:42 am
@BBD Damn, mine too. Looks like I’m picking up another imaginary beer.
Samual L. Jackson Brew

Being from Texas and all – and since Guinness has been taken.
I choose Shiner Bock.
May 25th, 2007 at 9:43 am
Natty Light. Fuck your quality. I want to be piss drunk within the hour.

Ommagong Witte. Can’t find a link to this, but it’s on of THE best witte beers out. Brewery is near Cooperstown.

@ Beaver:
I’ll take Canadian moonshine, Molson’s. Not the Ice bullshit, just give me the thick.
May 25th, 2007 at 9:50 am

May 25th, 2007 at 9:53 am
I’m on board with Burnsy here, plus I like my beer to double as potato gun ammo.
Keystone Light, especially in $11.99 30 packs.
May 25th, 2007 at 9:53 am
Best price/booze ratio out there, plus the wide mouths help-
I choose for my third Mickey’s Fine Malt Liquor.
Cause it’s fine malt liquor, dammit.

May 25th, 2007 at 9:53 am
Being from the great state of Michigan, I must take Bell’s Oberon
May 25th, 2007 at 9:54 am
devang, great call on ommagong
burnsy, molson brador will also you fuck you up in a hurry.
May 25th, 2007 at 9:55 am

sierra nevada bigfoot ale
expensive but good, especially ifat a party and someones dadpayed.
May 25th, 2007 at 9:58 am
did i steal from jason my bad.
i thought taht bigfoot was mroe specific is that still stealing?
May 25th, 2007 at 9:59 am
blue moon
and a question about the rules, someone has already picked Sam Adams, does that encompass all varieties, or is for example Sam Summer Ale still up for the taking?
May 25th, 2007 at 9:59 am
Yes, Devang. Thank you for the correction. I meant XXX. I don’t want this to later turn into my old “You never specified which Ricky Williams you were taking” fantasy draft routine, which I’m sure is 8 million other adult males’ 15th round routine as well.
WV: kzile (Is that where the KSK guys have been this week?)

Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout
at some point i’ll have to take a light beer.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:00 am
Three Floyds Alpha King
http://www.threefloyds.com
May 25th, 2007 at 10:01 am
I suggest unless there’s specification that the person picked the most common variety, and the others are open to pick. F’rinstance, I picked Sierra Nevada (intending to pick the pale ale). Flubby chased it with the Porter, etc…
May 25th, 2007 at 10:01 am
ok so i took the bigfoot
May 25th, 2007 at 10:02 am
thanks, jason, and congrats on picking the finest malt liquor. i have a mickeys cap collection somewhere.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:02 am
I am by no means a beer connosieur; all that shit tastes pretty much the same to me, and beer consumption is always a means to getting wasted ASAP. Unless I’m out to get trashed, I’m taking a Yoo-Hoo, a Coke, or some Jack Daniels on the rocks.
So in light of all that, I select Sam Adams’ Utopia Beer, the strongest beer ever brewed. A description from the review:
“To create the beer, Sam Adams’ brewers used two-row, caramel and Vienna malts, then all four types of noble hops, leaving the beer spicy enough that some call it “fiery.” The beer was aged in scotch, cognac and port barrels from February 2001 until late last year. The aroma has a “distinctive smell of cinnamon and vanilla with subtle hints of floral, citrus and pine.”"
Fuck you, I win. Have fun playing for second place pussies.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:03 am
My favorite cheap beer: High Life.
Truly, the champagne of beers.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:03 am
No, you idiot, I said a BUD Light!
May 25th, 2007 at 10:03 am
Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout. Expensive, but a damn fine stout.
@miamidiesel. Can you get the Utopia in Jersey? If so lemme know, I’d like me some.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:03 am
Stone Brewing Ruination IPA.
Other than Sierra Nevada (and Anchor Steam), there seems to be a serious East Coast-bias here. Not that I care.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:04 am
Red Stripe. It goes good with weed.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:06 am
since Guiness and Newcastle are already taken, I pick Young’s Double Chocolate Stout
May 25th, 2007 at 10:06 am
Oh, and now I’m on a mission to get some of that Utopia. If I don’t have a glass in front of me by noon, I will have to commit seppuku.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:07 am
I don’t think they make the Utopia anymore. It’s impossible to find now.

Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout.
I think anyone picking Bud Light should be bannished from this site for eternity. I fucking hate Bud light.

F.U.C.K
thanks for nothing miamidiesel.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:09 am
Shit, chief, you can drink with me anytime.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:10 am
Schlitz
And I don’t feel as if I need to justify this pick.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:11 am
@Swolestice
Sorry, i got that one already
May 25th, 2007 at 10:11 am
I think you should be banned, swolestice for not knowing how to use CTRL-F.
HINT: it doesn’t stand for CTRL-FUCK EVERYONE’S SHIT UP BY TAKING SOMETHING THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN TAKEN
Bud Light is yummy.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:12 am
@devang: i haven’t seen any utopia sold in jersey since 2003. i live in morris county, and there were a couple of places that had like one bottle from the entire batch and sold it for $200. i saw some random bottles pop up in nyc in 2005, but they were also from the 2003 batch, and i haven’t seen any anywhere since. i guess your best bet would be to ebay it. all i can say is if you can get your hands on it for anything under $500, and you love alcohol, go for it; you will not regret it.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:13 am
bud light is yummy, i agree with rob I. and as a high schooler my opinion on beer is far less evolved than his and i still agree.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:13 am
Just as a tribute to my Cegep (thats like college for us in Quebec) years:

Boddington’s… but not from a jackass bartender that doesn’t know how to dispense it.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:14 am
my cheap beer/lite beer pick: miller lite. less filling, taste great ! much like a nice vagina.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:14 am
See? Even high school girls agree. BLt’s are delicious.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:15 am
Shit. Just call me the Vikings.
I’ll go with Bass Pale Ale.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:15 am
nice first pick drew with the trappist stuff. trappist and monk beers are always good.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:15 am
Caffrey’s.
And I’m happy.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:15 am
hey rob not sure if you are mocking me, but i am a male.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:15 am
Stroh’s
May 25th, 2007 at 10:16 am
To further whet your appetites for Utopia, a quote from the brewer:
“Everybody thought that you couldn’t ferment a beer beyond 13 or 14 percent alcohol. We discovered that if you push fermentation up above 20 percent you encounter an entirely new world of flavors.”
And an excerpt from a review on the flavor of Utopia:
“The taste is astonishly unbeerlike. My first sensation was sweet vanilla, butter and mild candy spices combining into an elixir of toffee with a mouth-feel more like Drambuie. It then thinned out and became crisper and slightly piney, like a dry sherry or a mild single-malt scotch. It finished dry, clean and not too long.”
That’s right devang, a beer that tastes like a single-malt scotch. Don’t even try to tell me you’re not turned on right now. Like I said, the shit costs, but its absolutely worth it. And if anybody wants to petition Sam Adams to make more of this stuff, I’m all for it.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:16 am
@miamidiesel. I’ll ebay it and see what I can find.
BTW, I work in Morristown, so anytime you need an excuse to do a pub crawl on the green….
May 25th, 2007 at 10:16 am
Ahh, beer. One of my favorite topics, so I’m annoyed I can’t really join the topic since I’m Finnish and have tasted only Budweiser of american beers.
Still, going fancy and snobbish (?) in the first round:
Velkopopovicky Kozel dark.

Duvel Strong Golden Ale
Because I like my beer to have a special glass.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:17 am
my second pick: Duck Rabbit Porter. best porter I’ve ever had.
http://www.duckrabbitbrewery.com/index.html
May 25th, 2007 at 10:18 am
Rob,
Good call on the Duvel
May 25th, 2007 at 10:18 am

Miller Lite
May 25th, 2007 at 10:18 am
At risk of sounding like everyone I despise:
Hey devang and miamidiesel, I live in Morristown. We should definitely have a KSK Pub Crawl.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:18 am
@BDD- GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!!!!!
Mackeson’s Irish Stout.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:18 am
SMITHWICKS
Make sure you know how to pronounce before ordering.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:19 am
Jesse Wins with the boddington’s pick.
How ’bout a Hudy Delight? anyone?
May 25th, 2007 at 10:20 am
Anyone with a pair of testicles knows that Bud Light is designed for college girls and high schoolers.
If you’re in the market for cheap, light beer, I suggest Busch Light. Nothing beats a cold Shrub Light.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:20 am
Rob, I’m in. Name the date, and I’ll make it out.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:20 am
You know what else “works every time?” My third pick…
King Cobra
(Muh fucka)
May 25th, 2007 at 10:21 am
With the 92nd pick The Wormfather selects, out of Vermont State, Magic Hat #9.
*Crowd Boos*
May 25th, 2007 at 10:22 am
@devang: no shit, morristown? right now i’m taking the train from there to nyc everday for my internship. we’ll definitely have to get together and hit up the office, the muse, etc. sometime.
and for my next pick, i’m taking Hefe-Weiss.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:22 am
Craig +1
Always enjoyed at Moher’s in downtown Edgebrook.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:22 am
Nice pick, wormfather. I love the Hat. kinda fruity, but delicious. Like me.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:22 am
Being a St. Louisan it would be sac religious to pick something other than an AB product. So….

third pick: Fuller’s London Porter. second best porter ever. I’m really cleaning up with the dark beers today.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:24 am
Jesus beaverfever, what’s the matter with you? St. Ide’s
May 25th, 2007 at 10:25 am
Crazy Horse.
Malt liquor + Formaldehyde = Fucked up like Rick James, bitch.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:25 am
4th pick. Brooklyn IPA
May 25th, 2007 at 10:25 am
Since Hoegaarden is off the board, I’ll take Allagash White. It costs a little more, but it’s damn tasty.
And I’m not entirely sure Newcastle is off the board here. I’d take it myself, but the bottle I tried to drink last night was skunked…
May 25th, 2007 at 10:25 am
@ Swolestice
whoa, whoa, just looking at your comments in both drafts. Calm down their tiger. If a man wants to drink bud light or listen to aerosmith that’s his buisness.
I wouldnt be mad at you for front manning the Spice Girls and drinking Chantis, now would I?
May 25th, 2007 at 10:27 am
Newcastle.
Not taken, and it slid like Brady Quinn.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:27 am
@swolestice – if this is a race to the bottom for cheapest beers, I see your Busch Light and raise you with Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Nothing like a cold PBR when you only have $2.50!
May 25th, 2007 at 10:28 am
Sprecher Bavarian… b/c if it’s on tap you probably didn’t pay more than $4 for a pint, it tastes like heaven, and you’re probably eating some deep fried cheese curds and bratwursts with kraut.
Drawback… you are in Wisconsin so the likelihood someone strikes up a conversation re: Brett Favre’s retirement is increased 50 fold.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:29 am
Update: looks like there is one bottle of Sam Adams Utopia up on eBay. who’s gonna have the balls to man up and go for it? like i said, i’m in for $500. devang, rob, if i win, i’ll definitely make sure to share the wealth with you fellas during a night out in mo-town.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:29 am
Bottom feeder beers? see all your’s and go all in with Old Style.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:30 am
I’m a little overloaded with cheap beer (Keystone, Schlitz) but I can’t stand to see my next pick slide any further:
Stag
People have killed for this shit, literally…

May 25th, 2007 at 10:30 am
I’m gonna take Killians now, good cheap and can be consumed warm…because us alcoholics really cant be stuck waiting an hour for shit to get cold.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:31 am
Don’t you judge Me-
I too am a friend of the Blue Ribbon. My favorite form of the Blue Ribbon: the old 24 oz tall boy.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:31 am
Gotta represent the cheap beer right quick:
Rainier. Why didn’t you take this CC?
May 25th, 2007 at 10:31 am
My next pick: Sam Adams Black Lager. It’s stout lite, yes, but it’s great during the winter months when you want some flavor without that meal-in-a-glass feeling.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:32 am
2nd pick:
A. le Coq’s double bock.
Double the alcohol, yet still the same price in Estonia as normal beers. (13€ / 24 pack)
And it has a cool ram on it’s logo
http://www.beerguide.ee/tartu_bock.jpg
Perhaps, they should strike a deal with the rams and make the games that more exciting.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:32 am
OK – time to move onto quality beers.
Belhaven
some of these draft results remind me of my favorite bad Australian joke:
What do American beers and canoes have in common?
They’re both pretty fucking close to water!
ba-dum-dum.
thanks and I’ll be here all weekend!
May 25th, 2007 at 10:32 am
Flying Fish Dubbel
Best craft beer in New Jersey.
I’ll be at the bars in Morristown tonight if anyone wants to meet up. Check my profile for my email.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:32 am
@wormfather: killians is a good every-day beer. always makes me think of pizza hut crusts though, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:32 am
devang, when it was time to get fucked up quick st. ide’s was always there for me. and cheaper than a bottle of old crow whiskey.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:33 am
Damn, I can’t believe I missed Allagash White by two picks…
I’ll respond by going to the hard hitting Bavarian, Schneider Aventinus
May 25th, 2007 at 10:34 am
my fourth pick: Hofbrau Haus Dunkel. comes in liter mugs, is like 2.50 euros per liter, and is on tap only at the Hofbrau Haus in Munich, Vegas, and Cincinnati. good luck even finding that shit in bottles in the U.S.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:34 am
My 3rd pick: Beck’s.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:37 am
for my cheap beer that brings back memories of high school, i’ll take Milwaukee’s Best. i would have drafted meister brau, but i don’t think they make it anymore.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:37 am
After snapping up Crazy Horse for its alleged formaldehyde content, I’ll now take just a plain old good beer:
John Courage
May 25th, 2007 at 10:40 am
Rob, which bar? Might be tight, but I’ll try and make it out

When ordering ethnic food, I always drink beer from the same country. Delish.

Sam Adams Triple Bock
17.5% alcohol
May 25th, 2007 at 10:44 am
I have the low end covered with Mickeys, and the solid covered with Sierra Nevada, so I’m gonna take something a little high end now-
Maudite.
http://www.unibroue.com/products/maudite.cfm
As a bonus- it means “the cursed one”. I like a beer that puts me in my place.
In other news, if I don’t make a trip across the street to buy beer at lunch time, please kill me.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:44 am
Negra Modelo fell to me?!?!
I fucking win. No line in my beer though.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:45 am

Nothing beats a Kingfisher when you’re having Indian.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:45 am
I think anyone who can’t spell banished should be banished.
Sorry for not being here to man the repeat pick offenders. I feel like I’ve let you all down, but we’re interviewing a hot blonde for our new receptionist and for once I had to act like management.
Since I must take one quirky beer, I take Sea Dog, blueberry and raspberry. The bitches dig it.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:45 am
Shiner Hefeweizen… b/c nothing tastes better when it’s 110 degrees in south TX and you just ate 5 lbs of Cooper’s brisket, pork chop, and ribs.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:45 am
Rickard’s Red in Canada…best thing about crossing the border…
May 25th, 2007 at 10:45 am
That should read:
no lime in my beer.
Well, I don’t want no lines in my beer either… ruins the taste.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:46 am
Time to support my local brewery.
My 3rd pick: Red Oak. Available only on tap here in N.C. It’s as North Carolinian as Julius Peppers and held twice as much.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:49 am
i’m going Euro on this one: Peroni, from Italy.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:50 am
For an IPA, I return to the land of unemployment, Thomas ‘Hitman’ Hearns, and the Ford Focus.
1. Bell’s Oberon
2. Old Speckled Hen
3. Schneider Aventinus
4. Bell’s Two Hearted Ale
Delicious, and 7% for dat azz.
Jason, why wait for lunch? It’s already noon somewhere.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:51 am
Brooklyn Lager
May 25th, 2007 at 10:51 am
miami diesel- my first pick is also a 20 percenter.
chief- just had a speckled hen the other day. awesome stuff.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:52 am
To follow up my first pick and speaking of getting through college (and since Shiner was already taken), I am going to have to take Lone Star in round 2.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:52 am
fifth pick: anything made by Yazoo Brewing, out of Nashville. it’s local, delicious, and you can fill up growlers right from their taproom.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:53 am
I like the way you think, chief. Perhaps a Motor City Ghetto Blaster?
http://www.motorcitybeer.com/Ghettoblaster.htm
May 25th, 2007 at 10:53 am
My liver is the wolfman.
The only cure is the silver bullet. Coors Light.
Actually my two favorites have already been taken (PBR tall cans and Dogfish Head 120 IPA…fuck you, UM!)
May 25th, 2007 at 10:54 am
I pick the beer my fraternity roommate and I tried to brew ourselves during my second sophomore year. It was like brown paint thinner.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:54 am
Kronenbourg – mmmmm, mmmm, good.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:56 am
fuck, BDD starts the run on ethnic beers and i miss out on Kingfisher, which i thought only devang would be a threat to take. and of course the pirate sloth swoops in and takes negra modelo, which would’ve been my back-up. fuck both of you sideways. so my next pick will have to be Haywards 5000. That one’s for you, dad.
@UM – your first pick might be 20%, but mine set a record for alcohol content at 25.6% in 2003. on top of which, it tastes fucking fantastic. beer that both tastes good and has a record-setting level of alcohol? sorry, no one is beating that one today…
May 25th, 2007 at 10:57 am
As Billy Dee Williams said: “works everytime, Colt 45.”
May 25th, 2007 at 10:58 am
FOR SHAME!!! I’m going seasonal with Harpoon Winter Warmer, but the fact that Harpoon remains on the board is a testiment to our collective idocy (is that a word?).
May 25th, 2007 at 10:59 am
@miamidiesel. Take the Haywards 5000 or 10000. Comes in a big as bottle
May 25th, 2007 at 10:59 am
Permanent4-
good to see a fellow North Carolinian make a local pick. Red Oak is delicious.
For all my fellow DC residents out there, try the Porter at Capitol City Brewery. It is a delicous (and filling) adult beverage as well.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:59 am
@devang
Sorry Mark beat you to Colt 45.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:00 am
Me thus far:
1) Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
2) Harp’s
3) Mickey’s Fine Malt Liquor
4) Red Stripe
5) Mackeson’s Irish Stout
6) Newcastle
7) Maudite
8) Motor City Ghetto Blaster.
I just need to complete the 12 pack for lunch.
Oh, and miamidiesel? Just for that, I’m gonna pick next a fifth of Canadian Club poured into a party ball.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:00 am
Nimbus Old Monkey Shine.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:01 am
My bad.
I’ll take the Haywards 10000. Strong ass Indian beer.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:02 am
Banks – The Beer of Barbados
http://www.banksbeer.com/
May 25th, 2007 at 11:02 am
Jason, Motor City Ghetto Blaster is a great pick! I last had that at a bar named Alvin’s on Cass St. in Detroit…I miss the D sometimes.
UM, if you had Old Speckled Hen on draft in DC, PLEASE share the location.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:03 am
miami- spoken like someone who’s never tasted the Dogfish Head. it’s the tits.
chief- you have fantastic taste
May 25th, 2007 at 11:04 am
I know someone picked Guiness already, but does a Half and Half count as a new beer? If so, I’ll oblige.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:04 am
Where you at now, chief?
I used to drink at Foran’s after work when I was in the D.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:04 am
chief- had it on tap at Bierreria Paradiso (the downstairs beer bar at Pizzeria Paradiso in Georgetown). that place has the best beer in the city.
john john- isn’t it nimbus gold monkey?
May 25th, 2007 at 11:07 am
i went to school in Rhode Island so i feel the need to represent them. Newport Storm.
http://www.newportstorm.com/
May 25th, 2007 at 11:07 am
@jason: are we to open this thing up to whiskey? because then its really on…
@UM: i am not disputing the deliciousness or alcohol content of Dogfish Head. i’m just saying, i think Sam Adams Utopia is tastier, and the numbers bear out that it has a higher alcohol content. fuck, i’m going to have to find some way to get everyone on this board some of that Utopia to prove my point…
May 25th, 2007 at 11:07 am
the tap (and cask conditioned) beers are always switching at Birreria but the bottle menu is available online

May 25th, 2007 at 11:07 am
Balashi: It was a surprisingly tasty beverage the missus and I sampled while on our honeymoon in Aruba.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:09 am
@ beaverfever – which school?
I’m also a graduate of one of the finest of the dirtiest littlest state in union’s schools.
In the spirit of RI – Narraganset.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:09 am
@miamidiesel- no, no, whiskey is another draft, for another time.
I’m supposed to be working, but I’m jonesing for a beer. A beer, or a 12 step program, apparently.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:09 am
I’ve got your Marques Colston right here — Ellie’s Brown Ale from Avery Brewing Co. Small brewery, big taste.
http://www.averybrewing.com/BigBeers/docs/ellies
Avery’s got some good ones. If you dig the Pale Ale, Redpoint rocks, and Hoegaarden fans should try the White Rascal.
My picks so far:
1.) Allagash White
2.) Sam Adams Black Lager
3.) Red Oak
4.) Ellie’s Brown Ale
May 25th, 2007 at 11:09 am
Heading to the ATL for my third choice – Sweetwater 420
May 25th, 2007 at 11:11 am
Too bad I missed out on Vitamin K.
Budvar – a very nice Czech beer.
http://www.budvar.cz/
May 25th, 2007 at 11:11 am
I’d have to agree with UM. Birreria Paradiso in Georgetown has a great beer selection. Unfortunately, it is in Georgetown. They also have delicious meat & cheese plates.
RFD in Chinatown also has a great beer menu. First time I ever had Magic hat was at RFD. Memories…
May 25th, 2007 at 11:14 am
rfd is the place to go after wizards games. they’ve got great beer but the birreria has the most unique stuff.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:14 am
UM, I can’t thank you enough for that information. And I’ll be on the lookout for the 120 minute IPA…I drink the 60 minute regularly at Stoney’s, my neighborhood bar.
Jason, I’m a stateless bastard these days…I can still say that Michigan is the only state I’ve ever lived in.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:15 am
Hoegaarden
May 25th, 2007 at 11:15 am
as a high schooler i have not had many differnt types so all the ones i have were picked already.
See BDD i followed the rules this time (well except the law tih beer you know)
May 25th, 2007 at 11:15 am
What, no one wants to select the gigantor can of Foster’s? Fine, more for me then. My 5th pick: a gigantor can of Foster’s. Even if Foster’s isn’t really Australian for beer
May 25th, 2007 at 11:16 am
judkowitz with the money pick!
May 25th, 2007 at 11:17 am
Sam Adams Oktoberfest please…
May 25th, 2007 at 11:17 am
Warsteiner dark.
I think that covers all my favorites.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:17 am
chief- they had one keg of the 120 ONCE and by the time I got the text message alerting me to the fact it was kicked.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:18 am
@ don’t you judge me, i graduated from URI. how about yourself ?

Brahma Chopp – The official beer of Brazil and Carnaval do Rio…
Any beer that brings back memories of me dancing with fine ass Brazilian women in Rio is a fine, fine beer.
http://brahma.com/
May 25th, 2007 at 11:21 am
jd: Hoegaarden’s off the board, yo.
miamidiesel: Foster’s is still good when you’ve got a hankering for Australian football, which is almost as awesome as the NFL, but with more widespread recreational drug problems.
And fuck it, since some folks here have almost ten picks in the bag, I’m taking my fifth pick now — Blue Star from North Coast brewing. An American wheat beer that doesn’t suck.
My picks so far:
1.) Allagash White
2.) Sam Adams Black Lager
3.) Red Oak
4.) Ellie’s Brown Ale
5.) Blue Star
May 25th, 2007 at 11:21 am
Chief- I’m in Ann Arbor now, but I was just in DC on Wed. for work. And by in DC, I mean Rockville, MD. And by Wed, I mean 11-8.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:26 am
is there not one steeler fan here that will pick Iron City Beer just out of respect for the Steel City and their team ? I know the beer sucks, but like i said show some respect steeler fan.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:28 am
Since newcastle and negra modello have been picked, I’ll go with Brooklyn Brown Ale.
I love newcastle, but one of the best/worst decisions I ever made was to get a keg of newcastle when I graduated from college. Let’s just say that the hangover from 15 pints of Newcastle is the equivalent of the hangover from about 37 miller lites and a few tequilla shots mixed in for good measure.
I really want to walk over to the Dubliner right now and have a Guiness for lunch. Thanks BDD.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:29 am
@ Beaverfever
your cross-state rivals, Providence College
My picks so far:
1. Pete’s Wicked
2. PBR
3. Belhaven
4. Sam Adams Triple Bock
5. Kingfisher
6. Narragansett
for my 7th pick:
Heineken Light
May 25th, 2007 at 11:30 am
Jason, I’m a U of M product. Lots of great drinking spots in A^2…enjoy.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:31 am
wow, three of brooklyn’s beers off the board by my count. good stuff.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:31 am
yes, rivals indeed don’t you judge me. at least you didn’t go to Brown. nice call on Naragansett.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:34 am
I haven’t heard anyone claim Old English 800 yet… not that I am claiming it.
Eazy E would not be happy.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:35 am
I’m a U-M guy also. Maybe lunch will be at Ashley’s…
I choose for my next Long Trail Ale.
http://www.longtrail.com
Tasty, and from Vermont.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:35 am
Rolling Rock
Drinks easy on a hot day, even better when the sun goes down, excellent ’round midnight
May 25th, 2007 at 11:38 am
I just realized that one of my favorite beers is still available.
Pilsner Urquell
May 25th, 2007 at 11:38 am
OMG, how could I forget the best beer I’ve ever tasted in my entire life?
Becks Oktoberfest
I’d trade all my picks for this one.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:39 am
my final pick, i hope other New Yorkers here especially the upstate ones will appreciate it, Genesee any and all varieties. genny, light, cream als, and 12 horse ale.
https://www.highfalls.com/
May 25th, 2007 at 11:40 am
Continuing with my affront to quality and quest for retardation, I’ll take a trip to my home in Washington state and select Rainier Beer. Nothing says getting drunk like a brew that tastes like the slush on one of its namesake’s slopes.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:40 am
Cooper’s, it’s Australian…
“I see you’ve played knifey spooney before.”
“PBR?… sheeyit! they don’t give out dem blue ribbons for nuthin.”
“No Busch? You gotta be kiddin me? Where them blue labels and gold tops at?”
May 25th, 2007 at 11:41 am
My 6th pick: Victory Prima Pils. I generally don’t go for beers I can see through, but that one actually tastes good.
My picks so far:
1.) Allagash White
2.) Sam Adams Black Lager
3.) Red Oak
4.) Ellie’s Brown Ale
5.) Blue Star
6.) Victory Prima Pils
And I may be the 3rd biggest Steelers fan I know (next to J.J. Cooper and his wife) but there’s no way in heaven, hell or purgatory that I’m picking Iron City. I refuse to drink a beer that offends my taste buds. If that makes me a snob, so be it.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:42 am
I’ve got to go with Icehouse here, even if it is a shitty beer. I’ve always referred to the upper section of Bank of America Stadium (Panthers) as the “Ice House Section” because that is where all the degenerate-rednecks sit while wearing old Kerry Collins and Wesley Walls jerseys.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:43 am
Time for a nice cold Carib.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:44 am
hey burnsy, speaking of washington state beer do they still brew Olympia ? “it’s the water”
May 25th, 2007 at 11:45 am
GOD DAMN YOU BDD, GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!
May 25th, 2007 at 11:45 am
@beaverfever – If I went to Brown, you wouldn’t catch me admitting it. Brown – the Ivy for Stupid Rich kids.
@jason – great VT pick.
I’ll have to take another VT pick – Catamount
May 25th, 2007 at 11:46 am
Whew. I’ll take the icy cold Kalik to match BDD’s Carib.
And with that, I’m done with my picks.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:47 am
has anyone tapped the rockies yet?
kidding. i want modelo negro.
no one took that yet did they?
May 25th, 2007 at 11:48 am
River Horse Summer Blonde
You can ridicule my state all you want but we have some fine craftbrews. And all my Bud Lights are born in Newark.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:49 am
Jason, I went to Ashley’s for my 21st birthday. Great place, but I like the food at Red Hawk better.
from the other side of town:
and anyone who has seen Deer Hunter knows that Rolling Rock is the best around
For my final pick before heading out for some two-wheeled joyriding, I’ll take Fat Tire Ale
May 25th, 2007 at 11:51 am
With that Brown hating, it’s too bad Otto Man isn’t here.
“Weren’t you at Brown, Otto?”
“Yup, almost got tenure too.”
May 25th, 2007 at 11:51 am
Abita Turbo Dog from outside of New Orleans, LA.
http://www.abita.com/brew/index.html
Can’t find it everywhere, but still delicious. Can’t believe it fell this far. Didn’t think I would get such value with my first pick.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:52 am
the first beer i ever drank in new orleans was Dixie beer. not a great beer, but brings back good memories. i select Dixie with my tenth and final pick.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:52 am
Beaver, I didn’t see it when I was up there for Christmas, but that is my uncle’s guilty pleasure beer.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:54 am
Rob,
I know one of the engineers at the Newark Brewery whose sole job is to taste the batches everyday.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:55 am
Sam Adams Cream Stout
May 25th, 2007 at 11:55 am
nice Simpson’s reference chief. and where the hell is otto man. seems wierd without him here.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:55 am
chief, i was counting down the picks until i could snag fat tire (totally forgot about it at first). I’m not big on Sunshine so I’m going Mexican with this pick.
Pacifico
May 25th, 2007 at 11:56 am
pepe- they’ve had the Abita Turbo Dog at Louisiana Express in Bethesda, MD if you’re ever nearby.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:57 am
Pete’s Wicked was named, but not their Summer Brew. Done.
For the Morristown crew – no matter how long your bar crawl lasts, please don’t go to Jimmy’s (unless one of you works there. You know, cuz then it’s ok).
May 25th, 2007 at 11:57 am
Anyone take Oskar Blues Scotch Ale yet?
http://www.oskarblues.com/brew/
In a can, no less.
May 25th, 2007 at 11:58 am
Jimmy’s was knocked down last month. It will soon be replaced by a bank.
Good riddance!
May 25th, 2007 at 11:59 am
Carlsberg: ‘Probably the best beer in the world’
Their über-confident slogan worked on me.
May 25th, 2007 at 12:00 pm

I believe Jimmy’s is shut down. They’re building a bank there
May 25th, 2007 at 12:00 pm
@rob i
Thank Jesus. That place was a douchemagnet. It was as if all the d-bags who couldn’t make it down to Point Pleasant for the weekend decided to gather at one lame bar in Morristown.
May 25th, 2007 at 12:00 pm
BDD, I’m pretty sure that one is still available… and made up. You even went to great lengths and created a website for it.
May 25th, 2007 at 12:06 pm
No, it’s real. And it’s fabulous.
May 25th, 2007 at 12:06 pm
2 words gentlemen (and ladies)…Olde English
May 25th, 2007 at 12:06 pm
swolestice: It only seems right that anyone wearing a Kerry Collins jersey is drinking beer to get blitzed.
My 7th and final pick: Trappistes Rochefort 8. Ranks right up there with the Chimay Blue. In fact, I seem to remember one reviewer calling it “The Scarlet Johansson of beers,” which would probably make Capt. Caveman run out and buy a case of it right now if it didn’t cost so damn much…
My picks:
1.) Allagash White
2.) Sam Adams Black Lager
3.) Red Oak
4.) Ellie’s Brown Ale
5.) Blue Star
6.) Victory Prima Pils
7.) Trappistes Rochefort 8
Pretty strong line-up, no?
May 25th, 2007 at 12:08 pm
a web- 2 words: scroll up
May 25th, 2007 at 12:09 pm
In that case, I’ll take Baron Von Jizzhammer’s Dutch Oven Ale. Actually, I’ve had Oskar before. It was on the list for the 100 Beers Club I paid way too much to join at a bar in college. So was Coors Light. I got ripped off.
May 25th, 2007 at 12:10 pm
permanent- i think your final selection was your strongest by far.

has anyone taken killian’s irish red yet? i want it want it want it.
also does vodka count as beer
May 25th, 2007 at 12:13 pm
Those in the area should check out Rock Bottom Bethesda. Granted, it’s just another chain brewery but they have a true Master Brewer and he’s quite good. Their seasonal specialties (especially Trouble and Courage) are fuckin’ great.
May 25th, 2007 at 12:14 pm
matt- you’re waaay too late
May 25th, 2007 at 12:15 pm

6. milwaukee’s best
7. peroni
8. newport storm
9. genesee
10. dixie
May 25th, 2007 at 12:16 pm
unless i’m mistaken, no one has taken schlitz gay yet
May 25th, 2007 at 12:16 pm
Pick 4 – Paulaner Hefeweizen with a lemon.
May 25th, 2007 at 12:16 pm
I never do a recap, but here we go…
1) Duff Beer (Cant belive I used the first pick overal on something that will never amount to anything, I feel like the Texans)
2) Amstel Light
3) Samual L. Jackson Brew
4) Magic Hat #9
5) Killian’s
6) Harpoon Winter Warmer
7) Becks Oktoberfest
Ok and since we’re definitly signing undrafted free agents.
8) Honey Brown, all I can say is that this shit is tasty!
May 25th, 2007 at 12:18 pm

For my next pick…
Brooklyn smoked weissbock

May 25th, 2007 at 12:39 pm
BDD…that’s what you get for listening to a Jaz-Z comerical.
But in that spirit, I’m taking…
Anheuser World Lager
That shit was suprisingly good.

May 25th, 2007 at 12:40 pm
Fudd Beer
Even though it made all those hillbillies go blind.
May 25th, 2007 at 12:48 pm
Sierra Nevada Torpedo Ale (only available at the brew pub, sorry for anyone living outside of Chico, CA). Man, is that stuff good. Strong like Bigfoot Ale, but tastier.

May 25th, 2007 at 12:50 pm
Damn it, Rochefort 8 was snatched out from under me! Great value as a 7th pick.
I’ll take the Bear Republic Racer 5 IPA.
May 25th, 2007 at 12:51 pm
Busy day at work kept me from the draft, but to recap:
1. Sam Adams Utopia Beer
2. Heffe-Weiss
3. Beck’s
4. Haywards 5000
5. Foster’s (gigantor can)
and since it looks like i’m actually going to be busy the rest of the day, i’ll close out by going to another limited edition Sam Adams, the Sam Adams Chocolate Bock. A nice dessert beer to top off all the other ones on my list, this is the absolute best chocolate beer I’ve ever had (the only other one I ever had was a Dark Chocolate Stout from Brooklyn Breweries, which tasted like diarrhea). Chocolate Bock is usually available around Christmas time every year, though I didn’t see it this past year for some reason. Even so, its not too hard to get bottles of this stuff, either online or in some random grimy liquor store. It gets bonus points because even girls who don’t like beer at all will drink this one and become very, err, amorous (by which i mean let me do stuff to them).
May 25th, 2007 at 12:51 pm
I can tell you all that there’s now a 4 pack in my work fridge of Dogfish Head 60 minute IPA.
Two of them gave their life, so that I might be slightly less unhappy.
May 25th, 2007 at 12:54 pm
my bonus pick is grolsch, not a bad beer and the swing-top caps are cool.
May 25th, 2007 at 12:55 pm
Next, Leinenkugel’s Red (since the first guy who picked Leinie’s was non-specific, so I will assume he’s rolling with the Sunset Wheat… which by the way, tastes just like the milk after a bowl of Fruity Pebbles).

I’m taking Deus. Its beer from belgium that goes to france to grow up as Champagne. And it has about 20% alchohol.
May 25th, 2007 at 1:05 pm
Brooklyn ‘55 Pennant Ale … that is my JAM.
May 25th, 2007 at 1:06 pm

May 25th, 2007 at 1:12 pm
good pick MDZ
May 25th, 2007 at 1:13 pm
roto- already got it
May 25th, 2007 at 1:13 pm
I’ll take Boh’s light. The finest beer in the MD area
May 25th, 2007 at 1:16 pm
Gotta rep the local stuff here in the middle of CA:
Firestone Double Barrle Ale.
Lovely stuff, visited the brewery.
May 25th, 2007 at 1:17 pm
erm – Double Barrel ale.
And I’m not even drinking yet.
May 25th, 2007 at 1:21 pm

I saw a couple of Deliriums, but I didn’t see my pick – Delirium Nocturnum.
May 25th, 2007 at 1:29 pm
i was thinking what beers are associated with certain nfl teams ?
for example: iron city – steelers, genesee – bills, and someone associated icehouse with the panthers. anymore thoughts ?
May 25th, 2007 at 1:29 pm
Sucks to be me then. Someone missed in the 280+ posts. Ban me for life.
Can I settle for the High Life then?
May 25th, 2007 at 1:34 pm
Screw it – the High Lfe only ever once led to anything halfway decent (for me anyway – anonymous intimate relations with a waitress in Bloomington, IL).
So, finally, Victoria Bitter – VB to those in the know.
May 25th, 2007 at 1:36 pm
high life was taken around 10am. however, i don’t think miller genuine draft was taken.
May 25th, 2007 at 1:37 pm
Sam Adams Old Fezziwig Ale. Soooo good.
http://beer.about.com/od/beerandbreweryreviews/gr/SAFezziwig.htm
First I got Summer Brew, then the Old Fezziwig. I’m seasonal, like patio furniture.
May 25th, 2007 at 1:40 pm
Damn…i am always fucking late…teach me to live on the West Coast and decide to show up to work late….I miss a beer draft!
Since all my original picks are out…I am going to take my first three picks, since clearly you all have been on the ball!
(since such classic picks as PBR, Rainer and Pilsner Urquell are out, yes, don’t ask how I just managed to link those 3 beers together)
1)Molson Canadian (shit I miss University)
2)Pipeline Porter – Kona Brewing Co
3)Scuttlebutt Wee Willie Irish-Style Stout (www.scuttlebuttbrewing.com)
May 25th, 2007 at 1:41 pm

May 25th, 2007 at 1:47 pm
I am PISSED. Cant believe I missed two commentor drafts. Listen Gay Mafia, when you say vacation, you better mean vacation. I come here for three straight days and nothing but the two days I have late shifts at work, you guys do this. ARRRGGGGHHH.
Anyway, Unsilent Majority, hands down, won the band draft, nobody else was even close.
With my one and only pick in the beer draft (since everything is pretty much taken) I select Flying Dog Gonzo Porter. Its thick, tasty, and dedicated to HST. Plus, Ralph Steadman does all the illustrations on Flying Dog’s labels.
(If this is already taken, I would be willing to trade picks for next week’s drat.)
May 25th, 2007 at 1:47 pm
I noticed two Abita’s have been selected, but not the classic (and best). Thus, for my fifth pick I will take Abita Amber.

Full Sail Session Lager

Because I like stubby bottles, and “session” has so many underlying definitions to it.
May 25th, 2007 at 1:53 pm
@Peter
There’s nothing to trade, the draft is over, we’re now signing UFA’s.
Sorry man, but nice pick.
May 25th, 2007 at 1:55 pm
@devang
ommegang.com is the link , for one of your earlier picks. brewed a little more than an hour away from me.

Jeremiah Red Ale (http://www.bjsrestaurants.com/list.aspx)
There aren’t a ton of BJ’s Restaurants in the eastern half of the US, but their beer is pretty phenomenal.
May 25th, 2007 at 2:04 pm
Amazing late round pick up, Erdinger, a fine, hi-density wheat beer from the masters of beer brewing, the Germans.

May 25th, 2007 at 2:19 pm
By the way Drew, I HAVE stepped over my mother to get a beer. She got too shitfaced and fell down at the bar. I simply stepped over her to get my next pint. My father had to drag her out and throw her in the car. Expected me to help too – pfffffft, it’s HIS wife, he’s had plenty of practice picking her up.
True story.
May 25th, 2007 at 2:24 pm

Thanks. I’ll check it out

Kokanee
http://www.kokaneebeer.com/
Only problem is I have not been able to find it since I moved out of the Northwest
May 25th, 2007 at 2:32 pm
If it is still available – I will take the Bahamas finest – Kalik. It’s a great holiday beer in that you can drink about a million of them at the beach, on a boat, golfing, or whatever outdoor activity you enjoy all day.
If it has already been taken – my bad!
May 25th, 2007 at 2:32 pm
@Pirate Sloth.
That is a fantastic story, my jaw is now on the 2nd floor (I work on the 9th).
May 25th, 2007 at 2:44 pm
I’m signing Highlands Oatmeal Stout, another fine North Carolina beer.
so for my draft, I have Young’s Double Chocolate Stout, Duck Rabbit Porter, Fuller’s London Porter, Hofbrau Dunkel, anything from Yazoo Brewing, and Highlands Oatmeal Stout.
I dare anyone to say they beat me, overall top-to-bottom, on the dark beers.
May 25th, 2007 at 2:48 pm
Peter, GREAT choice with the gonzo.
I’ll go with the Three Floyds Dark Lord.
May 25th, 2007 at 2:49 pm

Tastes like a Heinken with more personality and less skunk.
May 25th, 2007 at 3:18 pm
I came into this late and was about to start shitting down some necks until Dave manned up and picked the best beer of all time with 3 Floyd’s Dark Lord Russian Imperial Stout.
Close behind that for hilariously delicious is Goose Island’s Bourbon County Stout.
Championship.
May 25th, 2007 at 3:29 pm
Sorry American Oil, the Molson’s mine. I took the moonshine a long time ago.
May 25th, 2007 at 3:30 pm
I went to Halifax some years back for a cousin’s wedding, and I really enjoyed the 2 or 300 Alexander Keith’s I drank that week.
May 25th, 2007 at 3:43 pm
Three Floyds bourbon barrel-aged Dark Lord Imperial Stout…..it was drafted first in a recent draft of ‘greatest THING ever’ so it seems appropriate to enter it here as well.
May 25th, 2007 at 3:45 pm
burnsey….I could have sworn you went for the Molson XXX….damn…it just isn’t my day, I guess I should head home from work now…

Great – I can come in here in the 320s and still nominate Australia’s finest – Little Creatures.
It takes a certain intimacy with your beer to name one after the yeast. Gotta love those Aussies.
May 25th, 2007 at 4:27 pm
Theakston’s Old Peculier
See it here
May 25th, 2007 at 4:37 pm
@ trickdaddy
I took Gonzo Porter about 25 posts back. Way to check through the thread. The least you could have done is check the past fifty posts.

May 25th, 2007 at 5:15 pm
I am late to the party but I was working before they sent me home and suspended me for the weekend. Thanks guys for Memorial weekend off.
Being from Minnesota now living in Tempe I will take Michelob Golden Draft Light. The thirty five sided beer that I can drink for thirty hours straight and have.
May 25th, 2007 at 5:16 pm
I guess not many New Yorkers?
I didn’t see anybody draft the Brooklyn Brewery beers.
Put me down for all their drafts…
Brooklyn Lager
Brooklyn IPA
Brooklyn Weisse
Monster Brew
and so on.
Done and done.
May 25th, 2007 at 5:18 pm
My second pick is staying local to Tempe. Four Peaks Brewing Company which is literally a ten minute stumble away. I will take Ts. Golden Pilsner.
May 25th, 2007 at 5:19 pm
Third pick:
Spaten Optimator.

May 25th, 2007 at 5:22 pm
Brother Thelonious
Belgian Style Abbey Ale
Like a Belgian “Dark Strong Ale”, the beer is rich and robust with an ABV of 9.3%. The package is a 750 ml bottle with a traditional cork and wire finish and features a label picturing the jazz master himself.
Vital Statistics
Style: Belgian Style Strong Dark
Color: Dark mahogany
ABV: 9.4%
Bitterness: 32 IBU’s
May 25th, 2007 at 5:24 pm
Wow, I’m late. And I’m thirsty.
First pick: Asahi. The 2nd best sake bomb beer. Fuck you, BDD, for taking Sapporo.
May 25th, 2007 at 5:55 pm
Whatever. I waited a few minutes. I grow impatient.
1st pick: Asahi. See above.
2nd pick: Samuel Smith’s Pale Ale. The Oatmeal Stout was already taken…
3rd pick: Pyramid Weisen varieties. That includes the Hefe and the Apricot. Great Bay Area beer.
4th: Maccabee Beer. #1 beer in Israel. Fighting for the tribe on the board.
5th: Lost Coast Great White Ale. Once again, Hoe and Blue Moon were taken. This is the Colt Brennan of this draft.
May 25th, 2007 at 5:59 pm
oh, this is for the rapture- hit control-F and type in “Brooklyn”
May 25th, 2007 at 6:03 pm
Ah, I almost forgot one final beer.
Samuel Smith’s Nut Brown
May 25th, 2007 at 6:11 pm
And I’ve waited a bit now after taking two so close. So now I chose Sol Cerveza.
May 25th, 2007 at 6:12 pm

Someone’s gotta be sober enough at the end of the night to drop you fuckers off in front of someone else’s house, put you on the wrong train or in a cab going in the opposite direction of which you live.
May 25th, 2007 at 7:26 pm
You know, 2 years ago at the Seattle International Beer (SIB) Festival, I had a smoked bacon-flavored beer. It was so god damned tasty that we kept going back for more 4 oz refills.
But then I got drunk enough to not remember the name of said scrumdiddilyumptious beer. Damnit. But I’m choosing that one. It was some foreign-ish type beer.
Hmmmmm bacon.
May 25th, 2007 at 7:36 pm
Wait . . . Wait . . . 347 comments and still nobody’s pulled the trigger? You pussy, wannabe beer snobs.
I’ll do it then, Olde English 800.
I still love this shit and I’m damn near 30. It’s delicious, always, always does the job, and is cheap. You know each one of you has succumbed to this liquid crack at least once in your life.
May 25th, 2007 at 7:43 pm
God dammit, I missed this draft because I was drinking beer.
Since Sweetwater 420 is off the board, I’ll take one of their others.
Sweetwater Summer Hummer. Its a white ale brewed with coriander and orange peel.
Atlanta’s contribution to the beer game.

Old Towne Pale Ale, fuckers. I’m down but now out.
May 25th, 2007 at 9:12 pm
jammq- OE has already been mentioned twice. come on people.
I was so moved by this draft that I went to Birreria Paradiso. The Dogfish Head 120 kicked my ass. After that the Speckled Hen was practically flavorless. I also tried the Dogfish Head Immort Ale. Tasty shit in its own right.
May 25th, 2007 at 9:14 pm
Olde Town, that’s a new one for me. The beer sounds pretty good but then there’s this…
http://www.churchinabrewery.com
now i’m confused.
May 25th, 2007 at 9:22 pm
I’ve had the dogfish head 90, but I haven’t been able to find the others around town.
The 90 was good though.
May 25th, 2007 at 9:28 pm
the 90 is amazing. the 120 has more alcohol and is a bit sweeter but the 90 has the best balance of the three.
May 25th, 2007 at 9:37 pm

May 25th, 2007 at 9:53 pm
Sorry, kind of hard to keep track of 359 comments, especially when YOU ARE ACTUALLY DRINKING BEER.
I then pick El Presidente, the best Dominican export since phat asses, merengue, and baseball players.
(Flubby took Dos Equis very early, otherwise I would have taken that).
May 25th, 2007 at 9:56 pm
St. Ide’s was taken already. All the good Malt Liquor was taken already(goddamn what an oxymoron that is). Even Crazy Horse was taken. You could go for Ballantine’s XXX(the stuff in the green 40 oz.), but that shit sucks.
May 25th, 2007 at 10:05 pm
That’s what happens when I use CTRL+F and a person doesn’t know how to spell. IT IS ST. IDES not St. Ide’s. Right…
OK then I’ll take OB beer. It is from Korea. Had it once at a Korean BBQ spot in NYC once and it was refreshing….ahhhhhhhhh.

which beers tonight um?
May 25th, 2007 at 11:45 pm
Is the Olde English 800 the same as Ice 800? That was the malt liquor of choice just after high school. There’s a picture of a cat on the back side of the label. We used to say, “If the cat winks, you’re fucked.”
May 26th, 2007 at 2:05 am
Why do I always show up late for these things? Damn Pacific time zone.
Anyway, Bridgeport makes a killer amber called Ropewalk. I usually don’t like amber because they remind me of Amber Lancaster. But this was a pleasant experience.
[sob]

May 26th, 2007 at 9:34 am
the ice axe made by the alaskan brewing company for one restaurant in Talkeetna. It is stronger than wine. one beer and a hanburger and you’re feeling pretty good.

La Fin Du Monde
May 26th, 2007 at 4:15 pm
Thank you Drew for picking yuengling near the top of the draft order. Spent a few weeks in the Philly area and fell in love with that beer and here it is four years later and I am still pissed cause I cant buy it in Cincinnati.
That being said my pick is any of the beers on tap at the Hofbrau House in Newport,KY
http://www.galenfrysinger.com/hofbrau_house.htm
May 26th, 2007 at 5:18 pm
Samuel Smith’s Organically Produced Ale
To the three of you that picked the Oatmeal Stout, how do you do it? To me that shit is like drinking a loaf of bread.
May 26th, 2007 at 6:21 pm
And I’ll wrap this up with Schnitzengiggles.
“I want to stick my dick in it!”
May 26th, 2007 at 11:57 pm
No one from Chicago here?
I’m going with 321.

wtf? did he mean to post this in his kkk message board?
May 27th, 2007 at 3:43 pm
The best ever is Red Seal Ale from the North Coast Brewing Company in Ft. Bragg, CA. Awesome bitey red ale with a nice hoppy finish. The perfect thing for foggy Mendocino Coast afternoons.
Or perhaps the Boont Amber or Hop Ottin’ IPA from Anderson Valley Brewing Company in Boonville. It’s a hard choice. But basically NoCal rocks the hops!
May 27th, 2007 at 4:33 pm
HAHAHA. Looks like we all deserve to be drunk during this weekend. Polished off some Dos Equis Amber and some Silver Bullet this weekend along with some Sam Summer.
Will be downing more brews tonight. God, I love summer.
Heartland Brewery’s Stmbling Buffalo Ale is the Tits. And I love the name
May 27th, 2007 at 10:46 pm
I too love Boddington’s.
The bartender at Fado’s in Denver knew how to pour.
May 28th, 2007 at 1:17 pm
Several good ones left:
Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter
St. Bernardus 12
Rochefort 10
Goose Island Imperial IPA
Stone’s Double Bastard 2006
and the most elusive beer of all time:
Westvletern Abt 12
Since noone’s still picking I’ll just take them all.
(Why do I always have to hit Publish twice in order to post?)

Gulden Drach (Gold dragon) 10% baby!
May 28th, 2007 at 7:11 pm
Well, I’m way late, but I feel the need to represent the Northwest:
Pyramid Snow Cap and Mac and Jack’s African Amber.
And for whomever asked earlier, they still make Olympia; you can usually buy it by the can at hipster bars on Capitol Hill.
May 29th, 2007 at 9:19 am
Victory Golden Monkey – gotta love the 10% alcohol
May 29th, 2007 at 2:19 pm
Nice! Leffe Brown is still on the board.
Paraphrasing what BDD said in the original post, tastes good AND knocks you on your ass.
May 29th, 2007 at 4:45 pm
“Alec Brandon said…
No one from Chicago here?
I’m going with 321.”
Are you from Chicago? It’s 312 big guy. You know, like the area code.
And I apologize ahead of time if you happen to suffer from the MJF shakes and just mistyped it during a spastic convulsion.
