MoeRedskins Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Is there going to be any theme to the drunkeness, or is it just a chance to get as many different types of beer in you as possible? Smithwicks was a new one that I just tasted, very good, and also be sure to get yourselfs some Molsen XX, 5.4% alcohol, but it doesn't taste like crap, like those other ice beers. Its awesome.

skinsphan Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Translated, it's Flemish (or French, can't remember ) for 'devil'.Very, very, very, very strong hoppy flavor. Overwhelming, actually. Probably the 'hoppiest' beer in the world. If there is one with a more pungent flavor, I've not tried it yet. If you try Duvel, be sure to do it last because the abundance of hops will ruin the taste of every other beer you try. I like it personally, but I have to be in the mood for it. Definitely a sipping beer. Duvel uses hardly any hops they use mainly spices such as coriander,orange zest stuff like that.thats how the Belgians do it,they love strong beer.IPA's and stouts have the most hops.you can't taste the hops in the stouts because of the roasted barley overpowers everything.I suggest trying out a local microbrew, the beer will be fresh and hopefully tasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tizzod Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 oh but wait.... if we're including such delicacies as OE and Colt 45, we must include Mad Dog as well. MMMM packs a punch! Nah, gotta go with Boone's, baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hefeweizen with some lemon in it is amazing. I get that at bars in Bburg sometimes...it's too expensive though. If you want a good mexican beer, i'd go Sol, not that corona trash.

PleaseBlitz Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 well you could expand it to an "alcoholic beverage" tasting party instead. Mad Dog will work quickly on your guests, trust me. It may just even turn into another type of party...... Well if you really want to get crunk: + = Crazy delicious. Jungle juice baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoEd Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Yuengling is what I used to drink when stationed in MD, great beer no matter what the price. Bitburger if you can get it, distinct German taste my personal favorite Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is a very smooth beer and it has a European flavor to it Grolsch flip tops are great tasting not to mention the bottles are really cool. Pabst Blue Ribbon with a tsp of salt and tomotao juice for the next morning might be pretty good also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 im partial to wheats and ales myself, and german hefeweizens, Shiner is a solid bet there. If you want to add a ghetto wine, f Mad Dog, gotta go with Wild Irish Rose, even has the Irish in the name! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Grundle Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Chimay. Best. Beer. Ever. Lots of other great ones too. Fuller's ESB, Fuller's London Stout, Paulaner Hefeweizen, Salvator Dopplebock, etc. Agreed...go to Total Beverage or Total Wine and get a couple bottles of Chimay. It's expensive, comes in almost a corked wine bottle, and is made by some monks in the mountains somewhere, but it is the BEST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoony Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Chimay. Best. Beer. Ever. . Which Chimay? Theres a blue one and a red one I've seen. Blue is much better I think. And though Chimay might arguably one of the finest beers that Belgium exports, don't ever confuse it with the best beer ever. Not even close. The best Belgian beers are not exported. They have no preservatives in them and don't last on the shelf long enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsfan1311 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 If you were from around the Chesapeake area I'd suggest, http://www.clippercitybeer.com/home/default.htm If you can't get those, any of these may do.... Fat Tire Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Saranac Black & Tan Yuengling Black & Tan Bass Ale Blue Moon Harp Dos Equis Amber I agree, that Guinness sucks....but I have tried a beer combo, that has Guinness in it, that's pretty good...it's called "Dawns Early Light". You basically fill a pint glass, about 2/3rds of the way, with a good lager, and float the top 1/3rd with your favorite stout. There's ton's of beer that I like, but those should do nicely....hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tour at New Belgium (who makes Fat Tire) in Ft. Collins is pretty cool - plus you get samples. The tour is free daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashburnskinsfan Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Coming from Ireland, here are a few thoughts if you want a genuine Irish (as in Republic of Ireland) experience: Stout: Guinness, Murphy and Beamish (may be hard to get Beamish but it is heavier than both of the others) Smithwicks Harp Neither Smithwicks or Harp are great beers but they are the real thing. Murphys was my preference over Guiness ... a little smoother but also a Cork vs. Dublin thing! Paddy or Jameson are the whiskeys of choice. Bushmills is from Northern Ireland. And drinks called 'car bombs' and 'Black and Tans' for a Paddy's Day Party? :doh:. I wouldn't recommend you ordering any of these in a Dublin pub.

feeshta Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Which Chimay? Theres a blue one and a red one I've seen. Blue is much better I think.And though Chimay might arguably one of the finest beers that Belgium exports, don't ever confuse it with the best beer ever. Not even close. The best Belgian beers are not exported. They have no preservatives in them and don't last on the shelf long enough. Bingo, we have a winner. Although you are off about the shelf life. They don't have any preservatives, that is true, but the best of these beers actually improves with age like a wine. They recommend storing it in a cold dark place for about two years for the best taste. The best in the world is Westvleteren Abt 12. Brewed at Saint Sixtus Abbey in Westvletern, West Flanders, Belgium. It's really in the sticks, trust me. It's on a single lane road outside of the tiny town of Westvleteren about 15 miles from the north sea in far western Belgium. Not the easiest place to find, but the only place you will likely ever find the beer(although we did see it on the menu in Brussels for 95 euro a 12 oz. bottle). It is only sold legally at the abbey, and at a small cafe across the street from the abbey. It's actually pretty cheap too, about $27 a case equivelent in 2005. When you buy beer from the monks, they ask you to sign an agreement that you will not resell the beer for profit. They make three brews, all of which are incredibly good, called the 6 8 and 12, but the 12 is the best. Comes in an unlabelled bottle with a yellow bottle cap. The bottle itself has a raised band around the neck with the word "Trappisten" on it, meaning trappist or monk brewed beer. The other 2 come in regular unlabeled bottles with a green cap for the 6 and a blue one for the 8. They do have a web site, which is here. http://www.sintsixtus.be/eng/index2.html Belgium does have a lot of good beers though. All of the trappist beers are very good. Chimay may actually be one of the lesser of the 6 trappists, as their quality has suffered due to high demand. Interstingly their Brewmaster defected to a canadian brewery called Uni Broue, and I have heard that their beer is better than Chimay from a very reputable source. It's about $50 a case too, so much less than Chimay. Some american microbrews even do a decent rendition of a belgian triple as well. My favorite american beer is Victory Golden Monkey. Merry Monk is another one that's pretty good as well. I'm also a big Weissen fan, but they never taste right here in the US. Bitberger is a decent German Beer, but like most german beers ends up almost always being about half skunked by the time it gets to the US. Same is true of Heineken, which is really excellent when fresh, but spoils quickly. As for the comment about Duvel being the hoppiest, it's nowhere close. Some microbrews. are really outragious.
