One of the only complaints I have had with the forum thus far is the BCM bashing. Personally I probably drink more BCM (PBR) then homebrew for a few reasons: Its cheap so when I want to drink a lot it doesnt cost me much in both money and time spent on homebrew, If I drank only homebrew I would be 600 lbs, etc. I think BCM and good beer both have a valid place in the drinking world.
So my girlfriend has always wanted to branch out from Bud Light (basically the only beer she drinks). She has never branched out because she has found something she likes, its pretty cheap and she saw no reason to explore anything else.
But she has been supportive of my relatively new hobby, but hasn't really enjoyed anything I have brewed other than my raspberry pale ale. We came to an agreement that I would make a list of commercial beers. She has to try a new one every two weeks to help her explore the world of brews.
So I need help compiling a good list...I have a bunch in mind to get us started but I won't be delusional in thinking I am a beer expert nor have I tried everything there is to offer.
Any suggestions you have (anything from APA to barleywines) I would greatly appriciate!
From myself and everybodies suggestions, here is my starting point to see where to go:
New Castle (Brown Ale) or Dundee Honey
Widmer Hefewisen (Hefe)
Hoegarrden (wit)
Paulaner (Wheat)
Kolsch (need specific suggestions)
more to come
