Admin_2 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 What's your favorite beer? Pics will help. I went to a liquor store today, and just walked down the beer fridge section for what could have been 20 minutes. I probably just stood there and "fire watched" for minutes at a time. Beer glorious beer. I wish Thailand could get 5% of the beers that are available in other countries. Anyway, back to the original question. What is your favorite beer?

Admin_2 Posted August 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 For now: http://gonewengland.about.com/cs/bostonattractions/l/aa080300a.htm There are many many more to come, and I'll be visiting my favorite bar in the next few days which has over 100 beers on tap and an additional 380 types of bottled beers! I don't think I'll get a Heineken or a Singha... Wish me luck! :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stramash Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 on occasion, a nice bottle of Skullsplitter (perhaps the most honestly named beer in the world) Skull Splitter is our strongest ale: which is named after Thorfinn Einarsson who was the 7th Viking Earl of Orkney. Sophisticated, satiny smooth with a deceptively light character, it is a tribute to our colourful forbear. On the nose, this strong beer has a fruity malt character, with hints of dark fruit, spicy hop, dates and figs. On the palate, rich and complex with sweet toasted malt, molasses, fresh and dried fruit and hints of warming spices. Appearance A crystal-clear, rich tawny-red colour beer; a tight, smooth head with hints of red and amber colour Aroma Juicy, almost fruity malt character, together with a medley of fresh and dried fruits, dates and figs, hints of ginger and cinnamon spice, hints of vanilla Palate A rich, fruity, wine-like complexity on the palate includes fresh and dried fruits, warm exotic spices, and light summer citrus fruits Key Ingredients Very best pale ale malt ? and plenty of it ? together with crystal and chocolate malts provide a rich, fruity backbone which is perfectly balanced by the spicy herbal character of East Kent Goldings hops Oh, and it's 8.5% second up is what may be the oldest style of ale still being brewed with a history stretching back 4 millennia. Brewed in Scotland since 2000 B.C. heather ale is probably the oldest style of ale still produced in the world. From an ancient Gaelic recipe for "leann fraoich" (heather ale) it has been revived and reintroduced to the Scottish culture. Into the boiling bree of malted barley, sweet gale and flowering heather are added, then after cooling slightly the hot ale is poured into a vat of fresh heather flowers where it infuses for an hour before being fermented. A light amber ale with floral peaty aroma, full malt charachter, a spicy herbal flavour and dry wine like finish. Recommended with : Rich and Spicy foods Drink slightly chilled from a fluted glass. 5% abv And on a night out at a bar or club in the city centre, will always try and go for proper Czech Budvar. ah...

I actually do feel like a tourist...awkward at times. I got carded when I tried to buy beer, which was funny...though I think they have to card anyone that looks under 40. :idea: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stramash Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 That's Disneylands for CarianM. Is this a freudian slip? In Welsh, Cariad means 'loved one', but when that is changed to Carian, it means 'my loved one.' :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagle Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I like guinness and sierra nevada pale ale. There is a Scottish amber ale that I loved but can't remember the name. A friend made a similar batch at home but his wife found it in his basement and drank most of it before it was ready. Now I'm thirsty ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
