Well, the only time I drink it is when I go visit my family up there, that may have something to do with the enjoyment factor. Keep in mind, not all of us are homebrew masters yet. A ton of people here are all about arrogant bastard ale and I am not a fan.

 

[Steelers77]

I'm in the wrong forum

 

[Anthony_Lopez]

1. Harpoon Leviathan IIPA
2. Allagash Dubbel
3. I don't think I can commit to a third... Those are my two favorites without a doubt

I had the opportunity to visit Shipyard a few years back and I really enjoyed the tour and samples, the Ol' Thumper stood out at the time, but I haven't picked up any since that tour. I believe they ferment using the Ringwood Ale yeast which has an odd character to say the least. Many seem to complain the Ringwood strain is a yeast with a bit of fruity character that seems to produce diacetyl fairly easily. If I recall the Shipyard podcast on The BN Sunday Session correctly, Alan Pugsley brewed using open fermentation at a brewery in Burton-On-Trent and when he came to America to work with Shipyard brought the yeast as a tool. Maine does rock though.

Its hard to decide.

But if I HAD to pick today it would be without a doubt:

1) Two Brothers Cain & Ebel
2) 3 Floyds Dreadnought
3) Two Brothers Northwind

 

[BeerMeChasay]

hmm

1. guinness atop the guinness store house and throughout dublin

I would have to agree that is a bit of heaven isn't it lol. Just doesn't taste the same of here.

But my 3 would have to be:
Pliny the Elder - Had one the other day and WOW
Ninkasi Total Domination IPA - I don't think I will ever get sick of it
and Arrogant Bastard or the Oaked Version both delicious

PS bad thread to come across while at work. I'm thirsty now

How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?*

I've got seventeen different opinions on this matter, all of which depend on how I'm feeling when I fancy a pint.

Anyway.

Piddlebrook Bitter, brewed by The Rainbow, on the high street in Allesley, on the old Birmingham Road outside Coventry. Glorious pint, fresh as a daisy, only £1.50 per pint.

The Ship Inn brewpub, in Milford, NJ, brew a Mild that's the best example of the style I've tasted in the US.

Whatever I've brewed that I happen to have in a pint glass at any given moment.

Cheers,

Bob

[skadalajara]

Sheesh. How does one choose?

If I were to be stranded on a deserted island, I'd prolly have to have

1. Sierra Nevada Torpedo. But it'd have to be brewed right there. I suspect it doesn't age well.
2. Green Flash West Coast IPA.
3. Sheaf Oatmeal Stout. I'd never starve with that beer.

Of course, if I really was to find myself on a deserted island, I'd figure out what could be fermented locally and brew my own.

 

[9/9]

At the moment, in no particular order:

Bell's Hopslam
Duck Rabbit Milk Stout
Terrapin India Brown Ale

 

[EoinMag]

How long is a piece of string?

Having lived and worked in bars in Germany I like my pils of all sorts, with my favourite being Koenig Pils, Warsteiner with a good cellar regime can be fantastic too. I like Aventinus Hefe Schwarzbier as one of the few strong beers that I drink and when it comes to it one of the other best ones I like is Koestritzer Schwarzbier which is a really good beer too.

I like my Irish Guinness and it's my go to drink in an Irish bar, but I'd not drink it outside of Ireland.

Too many beers, not enough time.

The best beers of the lot are English Real Ales, they are not to be beaten and too numerous in taste, quality, flavour and style to even bother listing, but a particularly good cask conditoined ale when it's running nicely is "Old Speckled Hen", a noteworthy bottle is the Newcastle Brown Ale.

 

[EoinMag]

I also think that Belgian beers are totally overrated, I'm a much bigger fan of the lighter German styles, if you want a 9% beer, you should really be drinking wine

 

[usurpers26]

Hmm, big fan of IIPAs...so I'll just go with my latest top 3 - probably changes weekly...

-Averys- Maharaja
-Southern Tier- Unearthly
-Shmaltz- He'Brew Bittersweet Lenny's R.I.P.A.

 

[Danek]

My three favorites ATM are:

Oaked Arrogant Bastard
Ellezelloise Hercule Stout
Thornbridge Jaipur IPA

 

[TheH2]

Pick 3..... I'll pick 3 for the season. Ask me in the summer and it would be completely different.

Bell's Third Coast Old Ale
Corsendonk Abbey brown
Unibroue Maudite

Comments: Belgian beers are great. I don't drink them because of their ABV, I think of them as great beers, some of which happen to have high ABV. They are very complex beers and perfect for sipping. Wine tends to finish very hot, a good belgian beer does not finish that hot.

I like DFH, just went to their alehouse. But Midas Touch had to be one of the worst beers I've ever drunk. I almost threw up in my mouth and may have committed abeertion. Most people I talk to love the beer though.
