But when I did I always leaned toward stouts (Tooth's was a favorite in college), but I have mostly moved onto wines these days. <BR/><BR/>If I drink beer it is usually with sushi and then it has to be Sapparo. Damn that is good beer. After drinking that, any typical canned pilsner tastes like crap.Bruce Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10898228670873232050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5046172520958527381.post-58458252727344390592008-07-21T20:40:00.000+01:002008-07-21T20:40:00.000+01:00Earl ... thanks for interesting and thoughtul comm...Earl ... thanks for interesting and thoughtul comment :D<BR/><BR/>Words etc: we got there eventually! :D<BR/><BR/>renegade - I don't know what to say except maybe have a beer ;)<BR/><BR/>barmaid - welcome to my humble blog - at first given the subject matter I assumed you were a real barmaid.

I know the artist who 'did' the picture label for the beer, his name is Ed Org and his work is both stunning and affordable. He used to exhibit regularly at quality art and craft shows, but I'm not sure whether this is still the case.Barmaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15409207093456246202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5046172520958527381.post-4925019874479331132008-07-19T23:09:00.000+01:002008-07-19T23:09:00.000+01:00I'm a rea totaler.

Not because of the cost, but cold...ICE-cold American-style pilsners or lagers just go down the easiest for me. It's to do with the heat. The stronger, tastier stuff I leave for the other 9 months of the year.<BR/><BR/>As for your list, I've never had Hobgoblin Ale. I don't know if it's even available in the States. I'll get Gia on that. (She just started work at a craft beer distributor as a new market rep) Same goes for the Stinger...funny because I spent some time on the Hall & Woodhouse website just two days ago. A friend of mine was inquiring about Badger Ale and wanted me to find out if it available over here.<BR/><BR/>I've had and loved both Old Peculiar and Old Speckled Hen. The last pub Gia worked at had both on draught. Yum! Dragon Stout I've seen, I think, but never tried.<BR/><BR/>Here are five faves of mine:<BR/>1. Souther Tier IPA (Southern Tier) - a triple-hopped IPA that is surprisingly smooth and complex. We taste-tested a bunch of IPA's last week, and this was my favorite. By far.<BR/>2. Double White Ale (Southampton) - I've mentioned that if I want a Belgian-style beer, I'll drink a Belgian beer. This is one of the exceptions. An incredible American take on White Ales. Spicey and delicious.<BR/>3. Post Road Pumpkin Ale (Brooklyn Brewery) - One of my absolute favorites. Won't be available until around Sept. 1st, but by far my favorite Autumn beer. The best pumpkin ale I've ever had.<BR/>4. Rodenbach Grand Cru (Brouwerij Rodenbach N.V.) - This one is for Gia. An incredible Flemish sour that is difficult to describe without actually trying it. Very unique.<BR/>5. Arcadia Scotch Ale (Arcadia Ales) - Arcadia is an interesting American brewer. All they make are handcrafted British-style ales. They use British equipment and malted barley to go along with American hops and ingenuity. The result are a whole line of fantastic ales. I met the brewer about a year and a half ago. Interesting guy, interesting beers.<BR/><BR/>So there you have it. Mostly small American craft beers (except Rodenbach) to go along with your mostly European list.
