ehh, for the most part malt liquor is beer that has too high an alcohol content to be considered "beer."

I tried this beer Chimay and its one of my favorites by far in terms of pure taste. It sounds very homo, like if you asked for it you'd expect the guy behind the counter to punch you in the face, but its really good. Authentic imported stuff from a monastery in Belgium, one of those beers that comes in a 24 oz bottle with a cork like champagne. Very expensive though, like 10.30 for a single bottle which is roughly equal to 2 beers. But it's 9% alcohol, so really its like 4 beers.
The taste is amazingly complex. But weighed on a taste/cost basis, its not the best beer.

better imo, you don't even notice the alcohol. they have it in big bottles at grapevine for $7.99, chimay is about the same. they also have it on tap at the alamo at lakecreek (which i get free because my wife is a manager at the south lamar one), and at the Draught House on medical - where i am going sunday to get hosed.

Killians Irish Red is a good choice. That is the honorary "UT Owns A&M Beer" by which we got drunk on it before and after the game at College Station 2005. Shortly thereafter Mookie spilled an aggies Killians and the aggie proceeded to punch him in the face.

Am currently trying a 6 pack of Quilmes. Not bad. Haven't really found a mainstream beer I like. About the only time I end up drinking a mainstream domestic (Bud, Coors, etc) is if my choices are limited. Fortunately, nowadays most parties and business events have at least Dos Equis available.

Beers I like (off the top of my head):

Non-Major Domestic
New Belgium (Fat Tire, Mothership Wit, 1554, Sunshine, Skinny Dip, etc) - every beer from this brewery is flavorful and well made.
Shiner (Bock, Kolsch)
Sam Adams (Pale Ale, Oktoberfest, original, some of the xmas seasonals are good)
Sierra Nevada

European Imports
Guinness
Paulaner (Munich, Hefeweisen, Salvator, and the extra-dry one)
Bitburger
Hacker-Pschorr
Franziskaner Weissbier
Duvel
Baltika - decent
Samuel Smith (Oatmeal Stout)
Ayinger (Celebrator)
Kronenberg 1664
Edinger
Schneider Weisse

Mexican Imports
Dos Equis
Negro Modelo
Pacifica
Tecate (when I feel like drinking for volume and not getting a buzz)

im drunk off m ass....what's the best beer in your opinion

Well, that's a required starting point... One that can do that easily!

Besides that, high quality beers actually still taste good at room temperature!

I don't drink much of a variety, but I'll try to think of a few:

Plisner; Warsteiner. The authentic stuff from Germany. Not the piss water exported to the states.

IPA; Deschutes Brewery Inversion. 6.8% asskickin beer.

Hefe-Weisen; Pyramid Hefe-Weisen. I have never had any other Americam Hefe-Weisen that tasted as good as the German stuff.

Porter; Deschtes Brewery Black Butte Porter, 5.2%

Stout; Deshutes Brewery Obsidian Stout, 6.4%. Better than Guinness when put on a nitro-tap!

Fruit Hefe-Weisen; My own brew which I call 'Cran-Razz'. A Cranberry-Raspberry Hefe-Weisen that I make and comes in at 6.5%. I used to make a stout I called Onyx Supreme, at 7.5%, but it's more convenient for me to buy the Obsidian Stout, and I swear, they stole my recipe... It tastes almost identical!

Yep, I have a thing for the Deschutes Brewery (http://www.deschutesbrewery.com/Splash/default.aspx) beers. There is a curious thing about the northwest. We have the some of the softest, if not, the softest water in the world. The micro-breweries here can make any type of beer relatively inexpensive here. I heard Portland has the most breweries per capita in the world! I never fact-checked it, but it sure sounds right to me.

Now as for non-beers, my favorite malt beverages are lambics. Real Kreik (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kriek) and real Framboise (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framboise) although I don't recall any specific brand, and only having the two of several types of fruit lambics. Been a very long time since I had any. The two wiki links are pretty general on these. These two specific lamics use one part malted grain and one part cherries or raspberries. The yeast is a native airborne yeast so a true lambic is only make in one area of Belgium. Sweetness is part of the final product by the sheer quantity of grain used where the malted grain is too much to completely convert the sugars to alcohol, and they end up about 12%. Real lambics have no sugar added like wiki reports.

Now my favorite alcoholic beverage which I need to brew again is Mead (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mead) but making it is like giving birth. It takes an average of nine months to ferment, and can be hard to maintain a proper temperature for fermenting that long. Summers get too hot here for them. Yep, I don't have air conditioning. If I started one now, I'd be OK if it finishes in the late spring, but sometimes they take a year to ferment! The last batch I made not only got too warm, but I used too much honey. 15 lbs for 6 gallons. It came in at 15.3% and sweeter than I like.

I should start a batch again. Maybe I will???

If I ever get air conditioning, I might make a batch a month. I can then heep then properly warm, and not too warm.

Well I was confusing it with a non-alcohol beer thinking someone was pulling a prank, but I did a quick check on wiki. If it is the German import, I'll bet it's real good!

wiki link:

St. Pauly Girl (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Pauli_Girl)

wait... I just read the bottom of the wiki link:


St Pauli Girls Beers were first introduced into select US markets in 1965. National Distribution began in 1975. St. Pauli Non-Alcoholic was first sold in the United States in 1991. St Pauli Girl is the Number two selling German beer in the United States

Looks like they make three types. Pilsner, Dark Amber, and Non-Alcoholic...

Well, I'll revise my thought. Any German brewer making a non-alcoholic beer is blasphemy! How dare they!

LOL... Kinda different typing without editing as my viewpoint changes...

Yeah, we don't drink Fosters at all. Popular misconception, that one. Like our wine, we export the crap and keep the good stuff, and that's what Fosters is about... :lol

Ah, I just returned from Denver and the Great American Beer Festival, where I sampled many upon many a one-ounce tasting of the best American breweries have to offer.

Some favorite previously unknown (to me) breweries:

Foothills Brewing Co. in North Carolina
Redrock Brewing Co. in Salt Lake City (which also won Large Brewpub of the Year along with a handful of medals)
Lost Abbey (okay, I actually knew about these guys from my trip to San Diego, but I always love them. Tomme Arthur, the brewer won Small Brewing Company of the year with Lost Abbey/Port Brewing)
Surly Brewing Co.

Many many others.

The boys up in Fredericksburg represented in fashion winning a gold for their porter and a bronze for their red. St. Arnold also won a gold for Lawnmower.

I really like Arrogant Bastard Ale, but that may be because I was brainwashed by the label.

Orval is great too.

i like Stone Brewery's beers. Scott, do you usually attend a few of those events a year? all i can do is dream atm since my daughter is still quite young. must be great for a burgeoning pub owner like yourself to mingle with fellow craftsmen. good luck again on the pub.

Has anyone Tried INDIO, its bottled in Mexico but not sure if I can buy it here. Its really damn good. Lee anywhere in Austin that has a good variety of beer that isnt a bar of course. I know of one place down south.

Being that I live on the border, Indio is very easy to find. If its legal i would gladly ship some up to you. (of course from your wallet). Dirt cheap when you bring it from Mexico and pretty expensive on this side.

lee, right now my circuit consists of the GABF every October and the Craft Brewers Conference every April (next year in San Diego, which is becoming one of the best places in America for beer, IMO, if it isn't that already). The CBC is more of a seminar/learning conference, but a conference full of the best brewers in the world is obviously full of great beer.

It really is great to get out and meet like-minded folks and make good contacts, not to mention drink their beer!

Thanks for the best of luck wishes!

Chimay and Maredsous are my two favorite brands of postsummer 2007.

I highly suggest both to everyone.
Man, 1 Chimay Blue a day, that's how I roll.

I bought it once just because of the label. I didn't care for it much, but the stuff sure is potent!

I just got back from the coolest place just over the PA/DE border.
It's a warehouse of booze called Total Wine. It's the only place I can find any Shiner product around. I got to stock up on Bock and Hefeweizen and for the first time I get to try the blonde, 98 and Kolsch.

There's a place a few miles from me called the Victory brewing company that have some really good stuff. I got some of the Hop Devil ale and Golden Monkey.
