Author Topic: Favorite Beer? Dean Kollet Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 591 From: Florida State University Registered: Jul 2003 posted 12-30-2004 03:37 PM                     my roomate and I brew out own, so I guess that's my favorite. I'm working on a new Cherry Wheat, I do have a name for it, but it's rather unappropriate. I also like Pilsner Urquell a lot, and Guiness is my 3rd.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 12-30-2004 04:32 PM                     Michael, how much do those glases hold? They look like about a litre and a half each. I very seldom drink beer, or anything else that contains ethanol. I do have a very small glass, once very few months or so. I do think beer is quite interesting however, and am a regular visiter to the Great British Beer Festival, held in London each year. This event, and various smaller beer festivals around the Country is organised by CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale, whose aims I strongly support, though I personally don't much care for 'Real Ale'. Camra supports and promotes the idea of having a wide choice in drinks, and places to drink them, available. The Beer festival also has sections for traditional cider and perry, it is one of the few places where you can still buy perry, bottled beers, including a large section for international beers, food, books, etc. There are many hundreds of beers on offer, thousands of people attend every day, people of all ages (there is a family room for children), sexes and races are to be found, singly, in couples and in groups. You seldom see anybody drunk, and trouble is almost ukknown. Contrast this with the pubs in the area where I live, which have few costomers beyond their twenties, are frequented largely by larger louts and vodka lout-ettes, and where there is trouble almost every night. Croydon is not a pleasant place to be on Friday and Saturday nights. There was a television series a few years ago, called 'The Beer Hunter', presented by a man from CAMRA by the name of Michael Jackson. I remember that the started the first programme by syying 'My name's Michel Jackson, but I don't sing and I don't dance; and I don't drink Pepsi, I drink beer'. CAMRA supports the survival of the small independant breweries, and their products, the traditional pub and sensible licencing laws. web page quote: Michael Schaffer That's not a wine glass, Joe. A wine glass has a much wider and shallower vessel. In Croydon this style of glass would be thought quite unsuitable. The correct procedure is to drink the beer, or more likely some strange blue or orange liquid containing lots of alcohol and sugar, from the bottle, and then use the bottle to hit somebody in the face before throwing up the liquid on the next passer-by.  |  IP: Logged Bruce Hansen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 847 From: Stone Mountain, GA, USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 12-30-2004 06:13 PM                     Anything cold and alcoholic, like most of the women I have dated.  |  IP: Logged Christian Volpi Master Film Handler Posts: 349 From: Arlington, NE Registered: Apr 2004 posted 12-30-2004 07:56 PM                        quote: Stephen Furley The correct procedure is to drink the beer, or more likely some strange blue or orange liquid containing lots of alcohol and sugar, from the bottle, and then use the bottle to hit somebody in the face before throwing up the liquid on the next passer-by. Sound like my kind of party! I think we need to get some more of the Film-Tech ladies contributing to this thread.  |  IP: Logged Will Kutler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1506 From: Tucson, AZ, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 12-30-2004 10:41 PM                     No beer/ale I have had in the US can come close to what I had enjoyed in England... The pubs I visited brewed their own, and were served out of the keg. These beers/ales had the smoothest beach-nut flavor w/o being artificially or overly sweet, and finished w/o a bitter aftertaste. The alcohol content was also very high as compared to what is available in the US. Guiness and any of the decent imports are getting quite expensive in the US. Some of the microbreweries in Portland,Oregon were pretty good.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-30-2004 11:07 PM                     Yes, Michael, I know the Guiness that is exported is different than the beer available in-country. That's why I said it was my "Jacks or Better" beer. It's a poker metaphor. You have to have a starting hand of a pair of Jacks or a hand that is more valuable, else you must fold. If they don't have at beer AT LEAST AS GOOD as Guiness (exported) then I will drink no beer at all. I must agree with you, though. There are some MIGHTY FINE beers in Germany! I only passed through Germany (and Switzerland) on my trip from Belgium to Italy. There were some fine trappist ales to be had in Belgium as well. In Italy, we drank wine. That was twenty years ago. I would LOVE to go back there even if only to have a few drinks!  |  IP: Logged Robb Johnston Expert Film Handler Posts: 147 From: St. Louis Suburbs Registered: Nov 1999 posted 12-31-2004 12:27 PM                        My Beer of choice is made by the oldest Brewery in the US. Yuengling Lager. It is pronounced Ying-Ling. Based out of Pottsville PA, it is slowly spreading across the east coast. If only they get to enter Missouri soon, so I can stop sneaking it in (heh) The closest thing I have found to it is Michelob Amber Bock, but it is a bit sweeter than Yuengling. I miss PA  |  IP: Logged Christian Volpi Master Film Handler Posts: 349 From: Arlington, NE Registered: Apr 2004 posted 12-31-2004 02:19 PM                        quote: Robb Johnston it is slowly spreading across the east coast If it's the oldest brewery in the country then it must be moving reeeeeaaaallllyyyy sloooooooooow.  |  IP: Logged Don Furr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 509 From: Sun City, Ca USA Registered: Nov 2002 posted 12-31-2004 04:25 PM                     Miller Lite ONLY when the weather is warm, the salt spray is blowing in my face and I can't possibility purchase a margarita Don  |  IP: Logged Matthew Taylor Expert Film Handler Posts: 186 From: Essex, UK Registered: Mar 2004 posted 12-31-2004 04:51 PM                     I Like; Fuller's ESB McEwans Champion @ 7% ABV Theakstons Old Peculiar Most beers brewed by the Adnams brewery of Southwold I hate; Budweiser  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 12-31-2004 05:08 PM                     I dont drink beer at all and never (except for a sip by accident about 10 years ago which I spit out, I think it was Budweiser) up until this year. Most beers that Ive tasted make me gag after a few sips, I dont get why people like it, but hey whatever floats your boat. I did try some beers while in Germany and Amsterdam a few months ago, and they were excellent over there.  |  IP: Logged R. Andrew Diercks Expert Film Handler Posts: 232 From: Marion, Iowa (In the middle of everywhere) Registered: May 2003 posted 12-31-2004 05:21 PM                     I am a corn belt typical beer drinker. Bud Light is typically my choice, but Coors and Michelob will do fine. I do enjoy a Sam Adams on occasion. I have tried a few microbrews and I definatley prefer the pales above the stouts. I would love to try authentic German or English brews. I actually detested beer until I discovered nickel ($.05) pitcher night in college.  |  IP: Logged Brandon Willis Expert Film Handler Posts: 216 From: Richmond, VA, USA Registered: Apr 2004 posted 01-01-2005 01:20 PM                     Killian's Irish Red.

So after not expanding their sphere of influence for oh 160 years, it is now expanding rather quickly  |  IP: Logged
