"What is the best beer you have ever had"

[falc0n26001]

The last great beer I can remember having was coming back to San Francisco after living in Portland for awhile. The first thing I did: I drove to the Mission, flipped a coin between Taqueria Cancun or Farolito (Cancun won), got a super al pastor burrito, and went to Dolores Park. On the way I picked up a bomber of Anchor Steam. It was so amazing I nearly cried. Sitting in the park eating a burrito and drinking Anchor Steam.

The stupid generous pour Lively gave me from the keg of DH is the most hedonistic beer experience of my life. #2 is probably the 1996 Iris he opened. #3 is drinking Peroni, eating salume on the coast of Como in Spring.

Partying with that dude is no joke.

As he says, "Prepare for the Vortex".

The best beer I've ever had has to be the 3L bottle of Supplication opened at my buddy Adam's wedding last May. It was an outdoor wedding on a beautiful spring day, tons of great beer and even better company, but a few friends and I surprised Adam with this bottle and his reaction was priceless. Probably my favourite beer experience to date.

Busted out my 3L Supp for my wedding last September -

Any beer I drink alone in the dark in front of the pale light of my computer while I type out reviews on BA because that's the only way my life has meaning.

Hey there Talkbeer family, this is a good question. You see it all started with a box of mint-condition 1918 liberty-head silver dollars. You see, back in those days, rich men would ride around in Zeppelins, dropping coins on people, and one day I seen J.D. Rockefeller flying by. So I run out of the house with a big washtub and... hey! Where are you going? Anyway, about my washtub. I'd just used it that morning to wash my turkey, which in those days was known as a walking-bird. We'd always have walking-bird on Thanksgiving, with all the trimmings: cranberries, ***** eyes, yams stuffed with gunpowder. Then we'd all watch football, which in those days was called baseball...

Eh, why didn't you get something useful, like storm windows, or a nice pipe organ? I'm thirsty! Ew, what smells like mustard? There sure are a lot of ugly people in your neighborhood. Ooh, look at that one. Ow, my glaucoma just got worse. The president is a Democrat! Hello? I can't unbuckle my seat belt. Hello? There are too many leaves in your walkway...

2010 Vanilla Rye with my dad and wife after the Giants won the Super Bowl. Not sure if it was because I was so f'in ecstatic or so f'in drunk.

Any beer on the mountain after my last run for the day snowboarding. Preferably snowing and at least sub 25. I guess this could also apply to any beer on the mountain while snowboarding.

At a birthday dinner in NYC with some family at this wonderful French place. Food was amazing, sommelier was great and atmosphere was perfect. Switch to beer, order a Sculpin. Got served a generic pilsner, sent it back. They then come back with a witbier. I'm a little frustrated with them and they decide to comp me my next beer. I noticed √225 Saison on the menu, for $16 a bottle. Gimme. Amazing experience passing it around to my dad and uncle as they usually consider most of the craft beers I get them to try as too "extreme."

Or at this tiny festival in bumblefuck WV on this random farm. On a headful, beauitiful sunny day. Meeting some new friends and enjoying some afternoon bluegrass and the sky just ******* opens up into the craziest torrential downpour. Everyone bolts back to their ez-ups for cover. Neighbors ez-up literally collapses from water pooling because they set it up all stupid. Next thing, 10 people just sitting in puddles around me. Decided to break out two growlers of Mosaic Promise I bought, everyone enjoyed the **** out of it. After they kicked, we grabbed some Yuengling cans and did some mud slides down the hill.

double dry hopped oak theory, best beer ever made

Best beer - VSB

Best beer experience - Much tougher as I have been a drunk for a long time. Top of my head:

Setting my beer on the floor of the car to go into the the podunk Wisconsin police station to yell at them for giving my buddy a speeding ticket without showing us the radar gun. Shockingly, they had nothing on hand to show me the statutes I was requesting. We were all surprised my 17 year old self didn't get arrested considering my friends could hear me yelling at the cops while they were still inside the car across the street. My lawyer aspirations were shot down with a vengeance.

Sipping on a Bud while trying to convince my friend to jump off the bridge into the Chicago River after a Bears game in November is pretty high on the list. He did, and it cost me $150. Totally worth it.

But the time I took my dad to my local dive bar tops the list. There might have been tears. I don't want to talk about it.

After climbing a huge ass mountain on Kodiak Island in November in the snow. Successfully stalking, shooting, and butchering a nice black tail buck. And then walking down the mountain, in the dark, in serious bear country with a bloody carcass on my back. That first imperial ipa from the Kodiak Brewing 2+ gallon pig we had in camp was as good as it gets.

The best beer I have ever had would be the ice cold Molson Canadian that was being served on draught at The Gorge. It was ~100 degrees out and Ziggy Marley/Slightly Stoopid/Snoop Dog was the lineup. Let's just say there were a lot of other things happening that day/night that contributed to how awesome that beer was!

 

[peepmachine1]

A cold as **** Miller High Life after an 80 mile bike ride on a 95 degree day.

Hell yeah, I second that comment!!!

 

[iong516]

Stenciled Pages, or Loerik for rar cobwebby ticker points, but I'd drink Stenciled every day over Loerik tbh.

 

[tmclain90]

I would say my first experience with a sour beer. I've never had something like that. Camping with some buddies and somehow an Upland Kiwi Lambic landed in my hand. It was so jaw cringing and mouth puckering. It was pure liquid bliss.

Fresh ice cold celebratory Sip of Sunshine after you been hunting hard and finally tag a turkey. No beating that!

Just had some Sip about a week ago. Good stuff. Only ever had a few Lawson beers. Their IPA's seem to be on point.

New Glarus Staghorn + Friday fish fry + fat joint + more Staghorn.



I love Staghorn.

 

[davey101]

Getting to try OG Rare, King Henry and some other choice beers on BobZ's porch on a warm summer night. Awesome beer, but better stories!

Dime would approve!

Just had a Unicorn Siberius at the Wrecking bar here in Atlanta last night. Honestly, one of the best beers i've every had. Better than any BA cake I've had and rivals barrel aged huna. If the beer laws here didn't suck I would be begging them to bottle it.

VSB, SR-71 and Framboise Fermier

Favorite semi accessible beer:
Tree house Green and Doppelganger
