By popular demand, the beer poll! Not all of the aboved beers are ones I drink. I'm more of a shooter/mixed drinks gal. All beers are assumed to be brewed to Canadian standards where applicable :p
Oh, no light beers either, those aren't even beers.
Yuo can choose multiple beers on this one :) My picks were:
Labatt Blue (my favorite), Molson Canadian, Sleeman Honey Brown and Heineken
Beer is icky =p
there are soo many good german beer sorts and none in in poll!!!!
Mmmm, Sleeman Honey Brown...
You forgot Richards Red (sp?) though.
Are Sleeman products available in the US?
M.
Now this a poll I can relate to.
Nalr "dribble glass" Xufade
There's 200,000,000 beers in the world, I couldn't list all of them!
I don't think Sleeman's or however you spell it, is available outside Canada, or if it is, not too far away anyway.
And beer is great, god I love it. Nothing like a beer, a smoke, a bowl of popcorn or peanuts, 10 friends, and a good hockey game on a nice big screen :).
Shiner Bock or Newcastle Brown Ale for me thank you. (Or any Bock really.)
Just a simple Budweiser will suffice. and yes a big screen TV and some nachos. Mooshead beer is good if you want exotic Canadian.
I listed Newcastle Forty :) Althuogh I spelled it as two words. That's one of my favorite imports but very expensive here :(
hmm id refine the poll.
List should be (no list is long enough there is about 23,000 produced beers in the world)
Trying to represent each region best i can with somewhat mainstream beer
Steinlager
Newcastle
Budweiser (eww)
Molson Ice
Chimay
rasputin
Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout
Red Stripe
Trois Pistoles or La Fin Du Monde (if you want canadian there is nothing better, even tho its Belgium style ales hehe)
Bass Ale
guiness
Sam Adams Lager
Ol St Nicks dark brew
Arrogant Bastard
im sure im forgetting some other good stuff but i dont feel like thinking about it right now
Red Stripe is maybe the worst beer I have ever had the misfortune of trying. Guinness is the own!
Bass Pale Ale
Becks Dark
Corona(with lime)
Killians Red
Moosehead
Warsteiner
Heineken
Those are my favorites off the top of my head :D
red stripe i like
guiness, its ok, but if you want a real stout beer thats not all pansy try Old Rasputin, puts guiness to shame.
;)
Of the specific beers listed on this poll, Heineken is winning! WTF?
Oh.. btw The Guiness pub Draught that comes in the tall black cans, usually in 4 packs witht he nitrogen widget in the bottom is pretty good. And a trick i learned with them..
When you buy groceries get a 4 back of those and turn the cans out so the bar code of the can is exposed on all 4 sides, if the grocery lady is in a hurry she will scan it and it will hit the can barcode and only charge you for one beer hehe
In regards to the beer choices being all (or mostly) Canadian, well, of course! Tilea is a Canuck, and I personally only know a few of the better known American beers myself. Most of you guys proll couldn't name too many Canadian beers :).
Also, sometimes a beer that shares a common name in the two countries is actually a different beer. And sometimes beers with different names are the same beer. I heard that Molson Export in the states is basically Molson Canadian here. I haven't tasted Export, so I don't really know, at least not the American Export.
And Budweiser sucks. I don't know how anyone can drink that crap, it tastes about the same as Club, Big Bear, Colt 45, or any other cheap malt beer that comes in a 40.
Actually ive done lots of research on beer, Ive worked making it etc.. . So im still into the subject just not up to date. I dont like to atually knock beers because most of the recipes are rather old and took along time to develop (YEARS). Budweiser is originally from belgium (as most beers find their roots. afterall Belgium > any other brewing country by leaps and bounds) , mass marketed here as an american beer, and made with the cheapest ingredients known to man. As for a poll id think it would be more interesting to list some beers for people to try that you have found to be really good.
(only recommend this stuff because most people don't get into beer so heavy that they can find anything outside mainstream, or they just won't have the taste for any of the more highly rated stuff)
For a Lager id recommend:
Steinlager
Darker Beer:
Newcastle Brown Ale
Stout:
Old Rasputin is nice
But yes there are tons of beer, most people just buy it to get drunk, that is where bud made its fame.
The people that actually drink them for taste go with something made on a much smaller scale. Well sort of, the tasty good beers on a smaller scale, but they number so many that its a shame to waste your beer drinking on the same old stuff all the time. But how can you help it when Arrogant Bastard is around, not much you can find better than this stuff!
Can't say as I've heard of Old Rasputin. I'll be on the lookout and give it a try.
Rasputin is a seasonal beer only brewed in winter. Comes from No Cal i think and is an old Russian Imperial Stout recipe. Its like 10 percent alcohol and will own you if you slam them hehe. Even tho its made in season you can still get it year round in some places.
