I love beer, Washington has kick ass beer everywhere, what is your favorite beer? Had to post something for #500 and as I sit here drinking another Alaskan Winter Ale (brewed with spruce tips) I thought through my buzz that this is the best damn beer Ive ever had. Expensive but 6.4% alc. gets my approval. In fact im going to go buy a shiatload of it as its only around for 3months.. Ill pass ya a few if I see ya on the water...Cheers.

Alaskan Amber

About this time of the year we Tony and i get on a Guinness kick...i cant help it..as soon as they stock it at Costco we are back on the kick...i actually loose weight drinking Guinness, so it is not as thick and weight adding as people think...its more of a eat less with dinner drink...maybe so you can drink more...hahaha

I do like the Alaskan Winter Ale, and that is another of my moms boyfreinds favorites...he drinks Henrys pretty much the rest of the year..i like going over there and drinking his beer...i always buy him a coulple of cases for xmas...hahha...(but this year i got him his fav football team jacket)

most of the summer i like Vodka and Cran...nice summer drink!! soooo refreshing...
springtime is a mix of everthing...but most of the time i fall back on my cheap box wine...i like Sangria the best...im a fruty kind a girl...hahaha

but if i had to pick a normal beer...right now they dont have Guinness, so it would have to be St Pauly Girl....i like that pretty good...and it goes pretty quick at the fishing clubs...i was the beer girl, but next year will be the treasurer!! yeah me...hahahaha...

mmmmmmmm...beeeeer....wish i could say it on here like Homer Simpson...hahahaha

Anything cheap it quanity not quality

Personally I like darker beers and ales, black butte porter, becks dark alaskan amber,etc. Recently a friend at work got me into brewing my own. Nothing like beer on tap. I got a 1200.00 fridge in the garage to keep my kegs. Ok, OK, the fridge in the garage wasn't 1200.00, the new one for the wife in the kitchen was and I got the old one. Nothing wrong with it, she just kept saying that she never did like it, so now I got a beer fridge I brew all kinds of ales, they got clones for just about everything out there. Kinda fun and you can drink beer while you make more, gotta love that. Right now I have a batch of Alaskan Amber in the fermenter

AMBER BOCK

Alaskan Amber.

I'd have to go with Patron. Any beer can chase that down.

Sleeman's Honey Brown. Its Canadian. The Best!

Had Guinness while in Ireland...........the best. Not the same served here in the U.S. Love Black Butte Porter or Mac 'n Jack. In fact, I have four goats, the two males are named "Mac and Jack".

Alaskan Amber but a moose drool is good now and then.

Alaskan Amber = Estrogen Ale. It's the first beer a chick usually drinks and likes. Right up there with any of the Hefeweisen's.

Life is too short to drink Estrogen Ale or beer with fruit in it. (Mexican beers with a lime are an exception to that rule.)

I prefer a beer with some flavor.

Think IPA's. Think Porter's. Think Stouts.

Some of my personal recommendations would be:

Bridgeport IPA
Broken Halo IPA
The Immortal IPA (Elysian ROCKS!)
Diamond Knot IPA
Murphy's Stout
Guinness
Obsedian Stout
Black Butte Porter
Welsh (on tap only)
Paulaner Oktoberfest (on tap only)

If you are in the UW area, stop by the BigTime and make sure you get a pint of the Decade IPA when they make it.

Or, if you have a Keggerator at home and live in Seattle, stop by Maritime Pacific and when you order up a keg, have Julie dry-hop it for you.

Dry-hopeed Flagship Red. Yum!

By far, Oregon has a lot more cooler micro breweries than WA does. I love going down PTown for a day of beer drinkin.

Schafer, the best corn beer....j/king.

Alaska Amber actually.

Not only is Washington a great place to live for all the outdoor activites available, we do have some of the best beer around. About the only type of beer I don't care for are the breakfast beers. I have been known to drink water instead of crap like Coors light.
I've tasted and liked all the beers mentioned previously. One of the best Christmas presents I have ever received from one of my sons is an 8 month delivery of the "The Beer of the Month Club". On about the last of the month, a DHL driver would show up at the office with a 12 pack of 4 types of beer from 2 different breweries around the US. All of them were top notch. What a great son!
However, when it comes down to it, if I'm out in a pub I drink a Mac & Jack's unless I'm at Silver City then it's the Fat Scotch Ale at 9.2%.
For high proof, Dick's makes a seasonal barley wine at about 13%. It should be available now. I usually get it at the Red Apple in Silverdale.

Heh.

We used to kegs of Maritime's Christmas beer - Jolly Roger. Comes in at a 9+ percent.

"Keel Hauled" is the word that comes to mind after a night of drinking that stuff.


One nameless department at the UW got a keg of that for their christmas party. By the time it got late, people were photocopying body parts, the christmas tree got set on fire (and thrown in to the lake), etc.

It was a good time.

Evil high powered beer! I love the stuff!

1 or 2 red beers in the eve made with Henry's--Lil Clamato, dash of celery salt, couple 2 or tree dabs of Tabasco -remainder BEER-in a chilled mug

a couple 4-5 Kokanee's or Labatt's in the locker room after a hockey game (even better alcohol content in Canada)

In the bar--Alaskan, Fat Tire, Dunklevisen (sp), hell basically too many to list eh

When Timber is around---1 of his Mini Keg beers from one of his cases

When in B'ham check out the Boundry Bay Brewery and their winter brew , Cabin Fever.

Mac & Jacks or Manny's
They are basically the same beer.

The best beer is always the one you are in the process of drinking. How you chose that beer depends on season, location, state of sobriety and capital (loot, duckets, greenbacks, doguh...). Brand loyalty is a corporate construct. That is all...
