More important question: what beer will everybody be drinking as we collect the sixth ring?

Personally, I'm going to stay with PBR. I could go exotic, but this isn't about drinking. This is about watching.

What does everybody else have?

since we intend to drink quite a bit this SB, gotta go easy. will be drinking Heinkin Light.

 

[wartyOne]

Me and the buddies are grabbing a keg for this occasion. Most likely will just be bud light. I even took off work Monday cuz win or lose I will not be able to function at work

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I have a particular aversion to Bud Light. As a professional brewer, I have to speak to its awfulness. As somebody who has judged beer competitions, I can honestly say it's one of the worst three commercial beers I've ever drank.

What are your favorite styles?

I've gone through the Ale renaissance, but now, German Pilsners are my favorite. I don't mind stouts and IPA's if paired with food correctly, but when I'm session drinking, it's definitely the German Pilsner.

Lager and ales for sure. Haven't tried to many pilsners yet.

I'm not sure if you'd know this one over in the US... I'll be drinking Little Creatures Pale Ale. Brewed in Fremantle, Australia.
The game starts at 10am Monday morning here, though, so maybe I'll wait til the 2nd half to crack one open.

 

[TobyTyler]

yep, I am.


Warty isn't as old as us, he's a wannabe "old and dusty". haaa

Ya, I guess he can be in the group; fetch drinks for the old guys and stuff like that.

 

[TobyTyler]

by THREE touchdowns? wow

as of today i'm leaning by 10 points or there abouts?

That's where I'm at; 10-13 points. If things go right though, and the Ravens are not on top of their game, this could get ugly

I recently worked with a guy who worked at Little Creatures. Very much know about those guys.

Cheers.

The Ring Ceremony is next season, so I don't know what drinks I will become introduced to by then. Will try a pilsner if I find a place to go. (Yes, I know you meant while we are winning the game. Probably whatever my parents have - they're throwing an SB party so I'll go over there.)

 

[TobyTyler]

Corona with the lime during and Crown Royal for celebrating after

Ah yes. Drank a bunch of those last weekend. Can't go wrong there; gotta have the lime though.

Yep, can't stand bud light. I remember now that you were brewing beer. That's cool.

Might as well wait on us, right?

What's your favorite beers?

My favorites right now are all German Pilsners. Bitburger, Warsteiner, Krombacher are among my favorites at the moment. I shy away from IPA's, though Sierra Nevada's 2012 Celebration was fantastic.

Real quick:

American Standard Lager: PBR
American Pale: Sierra Nevada (still), Chama River (local brewpub) makes some wonderful single hop pale ales.
American IPA: Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA is great, SN 2012 Celebration, Marble (another local brewery) is stellar, Stone Ruination. Some of these are considered doubles, but the line between IPA and Double IPA is so blurred anymore that there really isn't a difference.
Hefeweizen: None. I don't like the style, and think it's mostly garbage.
German Pilsner: As previously stated, Bitburger, Warsteiner, Krombacher. Spaten is excellent as well.
Bohemina Pilsner: Pilsner Urquell is good, for the style.
Stout: Dry, I don't really care for, but Lion Stout is a great example. Sweet, Young's Double Chocolate Stout, and Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout (technically an Oatmeal Stout, but also classifies as a Sweet Stout). American, Deschute's Obsidian. Foreign Extra, I still really like Guiness Foreign Extra, but my previous employer, La Cumbre does make a world class Foreign Extra (Malpais; Silver at the 2011 GABF and 2012 World Beer Cup). Imperial, Old Rasputin and Sam Smith's Imperial.
American Wheat: Mostly a craft brewery style. The commercial examples are largely awful.

I don't drink Belgians anymore because the hangovers are horrible, but in the category of Witbier, Avery's White Rascal is good.

New Glarus makes amazing beers.

I could do this all night. I'm going to have to cut myself off unless somebody asks a specific question.

Paulaner makes one of the best Octoberfests on the planet.

The Hefe is good, but I just hate that style.

 

[Bemular]

Oh yeah! Gotta have the lime!

So, I see you will be drinking some "WTF-is-that-beer-called-again"? - Beer! LOL!! I have never even HEARD of the stuff you're drinking! - Dem be some crazy-ass beer names my brother! -

I just hope there is cause for the after the game shot of CR!

 

[KingFlea]

My superstitions dont allow for me to drink or eat before or during a 49er game on gameday So I will be starving by 10 pm..yea I really didnt eat before the Packers game. I hope to be drinking some Jack Daniels by 10 or so though

This thread made me bust a Paulaner out of the fridge.
