Personal Favorite Beer

[gob]

Sounds like a man to hang out with after 18.

I drink beer almost as a thirst quencher...I don't keep it at the house as a norm anymore...mostly a wine drinker (wife drinks wine, or mixed drinks) these days.

But...I've been building a liquor cabinet. Ideally I wanted a top shelf for people that would appreciate a quality drink...neat (I have a golf buddies/friends with good tastes in spirits) and another for mixing.

I've started with Tequila and Scotch from a research stand point and have kinda made a decision on the top shelf for each of these spirits. I'm not going to hijack to beer thread, and to keep it readable length, I'll keep this to one spirit.

Tequila

imo

Blanco, you can spend a lot of money and get a better product, but it's still only aged a few days compared to the other Tequilas, all will have alcohol burn, and again, imo best for mixing. I buy a 87 rated (Tequila.net user rating)Blanco...Espolon…<$20...I've had 92+ rated Blancos and I would save my money.

Resposado...up to a yr aged. This is where you start with a sipping Tequila. $30 to $100+ IMO for a novice it's best with an ice cube. I've had 2 really good Resposados recently.

• Clase Azul ($100), (90 rating) very smooth from start to finish, a little fruity...some alcohol burn, but less than Casa Noble. I like it, it's a good sipper, pricey, fancy bottle has to be part of it.
  
• Casa Noble ($45), (93 rating) also very smooth, more vanilla, nutty flavor, a bit of alcohol burn at the end of the swallow, but it's not lasting like a Blanco...an ice cube mellows out the finish

Anejo...up to 3yrs aged...This is a true neat caliber Tequila...smooth to the finish very little alcohol burn...$50 & up

Extra Anejo...up to 5 yrs aged...this goes in the decanter in the office... you only offer this to people that know something about good Tequila...neat...always...>$70

So far I bought the Casa Noble brand Resposado and Anejo. To be honest...the ratings were part of it, but to bag both bottles for around the same price as a good tasting but lower rated Tequila just seemed like the best way to go. To put a cap on Tequila, this week I'm looking for the single barrel extra Anejo from Casa Noble.​

Sorry beer drinkers...I'll share the Scotch via DM...I'm not to Burbons yet, but would be interested to hear your thoughts.

Too bad big8 didn't come over from rivals. He was a pretty on point for cocktails. I am pretty much only somewhat knowledgeable on bourbons. I stick mainly to beer.

I still like a nice cold beer, or a nice room temp one...but, not active enough these days to be a daily drinker of the suds...it took a year to work my gut down to a reasonable level...lol.

I've done a little bit on burbons.

FTR...Bottingtons would probably be my go to beer.

I am partial to German beers myself (A studyboard trip during college and a return to Germany for Oktoberfest will do that to you).

My personal favorite beer is Lowenbrau and it is impossible to find in the US so my second favorite is Hofbrau. Please share what your favorite beer is.

I've had Lowenbrau in the U.S. Been a while, but I have had it in Louisiana of all places!

For what its worth Lienenkugles (sic) makes a good brew

I like their Summer Shandy on a hot day at a Reds Game!

Absolutely.

I'm a craft beer guy, but not every beer can be an 8% IPA or a heavy coffee porter. An ice cold Bud can out of a cooler is one of summer's great treats.

I mean at some point a big juicey IPA is a big juicey IPA, and that's what this is. But this sucker is really a nice version. Tree House is awesome overall.

I remember High Life in the clear bottles in the 80s. It was a go-to monster case back in the day.

Damn I've been drinking a long time, how am I still alive?
