I don't know if that's your OPINION or whatnot, but I never said I liked boring beers. I like what I like.

Anyone in the Cincy area of Ohio, how is Barrelhouse? Brewed in Cincy, and I saw this online somewhere. I've had a beer brewed there, the Wooden Shoe Lager, made for a place in Minster Ohio using an old time recipe, but I haven't had anything under the company name. I'd like to know more...

My neighbor gave me a Busch one night and I had to hold my nose to drink it. Won't even try Natty. Bud is alright in a pinch, like the mexican place I mentioned. It's the only thing they have, and it comes in 32 ounce frosted glasses. I used to love Amber Bock, but I drank 2 half gallons...

Appreciate everyone replying. Sometimes, and I don't know if anyone else feels this way, it feels like there's a stigma for not liking pale ales, stouts, whatnot. I frequently hear that I might as well just drink Bud because I don't drink real beer or something. There's a feeling out there...

GF and I are thinking of going out for the green beer for St. Patricks day. She's not a beer drinker, but said she'll bite the bullet for this day cuz it sounds fun. But... since Dayton is crappy, and we live north, we don't know where to go. Anyone know which bars will be serving and have...

Sitting around tonight, I had a Sam Adams Pale Ale (after a large Baileys Irish Cream over ice). I just don't get it. To me it was overly flat, not carbonated enough, flavor is muddy, and it lingers after you drink it. Half hour later and I'm still getting that sour flavor. Which is strange...

So I was thinking about what I really like. Then I came to the realization that I don't know. My tastes seem to be all around. So I thought if I post a list of my likes/favorites/regulars (difference being regulars might be cheaper and easier to get ahold of then favorites or just to keep...

Recently tried this from our local spirits store, he's got a great beer cooler. German pilsner, got it in the 8 pack can - half liter packaging. Not bad. It was a little bitey at first I thought. I'm wondering it might be because of the cans. Half liter cans make for a fun time trying...

I don't even know how to describe this one, but I had a great beer this past fall. I was going up the annual Oktoberfest in Minster Ohio and they had a specialty beer this year. This is a small small town out in the boonies in Ohio. But they throw a hell of a bash each year, drawing more then...

Yeah, someone told me they call that cooler the "beer cave". It's great, I need one just like it at home. Though he needs to hang coats at the door to it, cuz I browse around in there for a few minutes, freezing most the time. He keeps a pretty good selection. Turk, I'm suprised to...

Direct link: http://www.smoky-mtn-brewery.com/ Yeah, it's owned by Calhouns. Brewed at the Smoky Mountain Brewery, and they distribute it to their sister restaurants. In Gatlinburg there's the Brewery (which has kick ass pizza and wings), Calhouns, and Cherokee Grill. They all serve the...

Well I used the search button, but didn't come up with anything for a few of my favorite things. I guess since they sell it, even at a local level, it's a commercial brew. Whenever I go to to Gatlinburg, I get my favorite microbrews. Velas Helles (obvious style in the name) and ThunderRoad...

Mike, I live in Tipp, out close to the airport. We're pretty close. Turk doesn't sound far off either. Thought I'd mention it to you, since we're all new here it looks like. Boston Bistro, is that the place down on 48? My grandparents live down in Clayton next to a guy that owns...

Hey all. I'm Matt from Tipp City, Ohio (north of Dayton on I-75). I'm 25, like beer, and thought I'd join a forum about it. I'm toying with the idea of possibly trying a homebrew sometime, but thought I'd hang around here for awhile first. So anyway, hi. :mug:
