...But for a lager, nothing beats a "Grolsch". I know, i know,unpronounceableto anyone not speaking Dutch.
However the Belgians make far better bier I must admit. A well know brand as an example would be "Duvel".

Bier drink je met verstand..... n met nutjes! ;)
Guinness Is Good For YouMy rec room is a shrine to Guinness
I have to admitt that the one time I tried Guiness, at a friend's urging, I found it to be too heavy of a beer for my tastes.
While working in MA back in 2000, I used to frequent a resteraunt called 99 Club and tried Killian's Irish Red beer. That became
my beer of choice. I also enjoy an occassional Michelob Amberbach or Sam Adams Boston Lager.
I'm still looking for that elusive Buzz Beer that Drew Carey and his buddies used to make. Anyone here have some they'd care to share?
My favourite beer of all time has to be Cooper's Pale Ale. It doesn't make you full and on a hot day it's very refreshing.. Cooper's Sparkling is my next favourite. Both these beers are brewed in the bottle and are the only beer with a "BEST AFTER" date. I enjoy my wines as well as living in a wine growing area one has to try all the local produce :P
I believe that Sam Adams has a "BEST AFTER" date as well. Also, the commercials say that they will buy it back if it is past its date.
My favorite would have to be Yuengling. Oldest brewery in the US, run out of my home state, and they makea great lager. There is also a German beer that I had where you could taste the barley in it. That was also a great beer. If only I could remember the name!
Since moving to Washington the beer of choice has been Kokanee. However, while I was living in Dallas, Tx I was rather fond of a cold Corona and lime slice.
What I really liked was many of the local beers in Germany that aren't exported and only available in that imediate area. And so I've started to do home brewing as well to try to recapture some of that wonderful local fresh flavor.
Soem great brews mentioned already. Hmmm, I have a number of favortie brews, depending on my mood, and the weather. Typically, I prefer Yuengling Amber, Tecate, Leinenkugel's Amber (from Wisconsin), or theCanadian brews (Molson's, Labatt's,and Moosehead). I like the brews of Saranac (F.X. Matt brewing), but they are hard to find out of NY state (it seems). I also enjoy Irish red ales (Smithwick's), and am very partial to English style brown ales (Newcastle is a favorite, but Sam Adam's and Leinenkugel brew a mean brown ale too). ValleyForge Brewing Co. makes a greatimperial stout, but forstouts, can't beat Guiness (nectar of the gods). Guiness and Yuengling porter are good hearty beers fo the colder months, and nut brown ales in the winter are a personal favorite.
Mieke, I like your idea of the nude beer tasting event. Have someone cook up some sausages and hire a band and you would have a perfect day.
As a friend of mine always says. "Life's too short for bad beer."
