Does anyone love beer as much as I do?

I've been feeling a lot of genuine rage at big american beer lately. As a hobby brewer, I am constantly seeing small craft breweries trying to compete with the established big three (Miller, Coors and Busch) and getting pushed out of the market because they can't keep up in the advertising department. So i'm curious.

What beer have you been drinking? Who brewed it? Does it matter to you?

For myself, lots of Ninkasi, Rogue and Dogfish head, particularly Ninkasi's Believer double red. Very tasty.

    Never taken a sip of beer and enjoyed it.

    I'm a whiskey kinda guy.

    I had a couple of Elysian Men's Room Red last night.

    Then I had a lot of cans of Miller High Life because they were a dollar.

    My brother-in-law is the head brewer at the tiny pub here in Estacada. He's also a prolific homebrewer.

    So of course, I mostly drink Miller High Life.

    Er, the craft beer market is better now than it's been in decades, particularly for breweries like Rogue and Dogfish Head.

    This is a joke post right?

    Also I never really drink any of the beer from the big three. Most of it seems really shitty, to me.

    I'm not really sure I see the thing you are talking about in craft beers not being able to compete. There are a ton of independent breweries out there making a lot of awesome beer. In Bloomington, Indiana, where I went to college they had Upland brewery, which was great.

    I don't drink as much beer as I would like to

    I've never had "good" beer because I'm a poor student, but the shit you drink to get drunk and not for taste tastes like a gorilla fart, to the point where I don't even drink it to get drunk anymore.

    I've been drinking a lot of these lately:

    I'll bring them to a hangout and all of my friends will be disgusted. The mere smell of an opened bottle has them revolting, it is amazing.

    I had some Sam Adams Octoberfest for a while.

    My fiance bought it for me.

    I'm pretty non particular about beer. I'll pretty much drink whatever.

    My favorite though is Boddingtons Pub Ale.

  • TankHammerTankHammer Atlanta Ghostbuster Atlanta, GARegistered User regular
    I love seasonal micro-brews and Sam Adams. I do not drink beer that comes in a can.

    It took me some time to develop a taste for beer but I'm glad I did. It's easy to find and goes with more things than hard liquor and I feel a little too much like a pretentious cock ordering wine with a burger and fries.

    Ninkasi, Deschutes, Rogue, Amnesia, Bridgeport, Cascade, Full Sail, MacTarnahans, New Old Lompoc, Widmer... basically everything in Portland.

    Prefer a stout or a porter to anything else but beer is great in all forms. Not the biggest fan of IPAs, in fact, they are my least preferred form of beer. If it's no beer or an IPA though, I'll take the IPA.

    I try not to drink the Big 3 when they're there (mostly because they're awful)

    I don't drink very often.

    I get drunk really easy though, that's a plus.

    I still have the same bottle of whiskey I bought in spring.

    I do not drink alcohol and never plan to.

    I honestly do not understand the appeal.

    The past two or so months my buddies & I have been regularly pouring 8-12 shots of whiskey into our glasses with whatever left for a mixer.

    I am slowly destroying myself...
