bobad, Those all look very interesting. Tell us about Abita Beer. That Raspberry Wheat beer sounds kinda scary.

Nice selections, all good. If you can find it, Shiner Holiday Cheer is my holiday choice this year, can't find the camera for a photo. Brewed with Texas peaches and pecans, but not as fruity as it sounds. Mmmm, good!

My family enjoys ogling the "strange beer" section at one local supermarket, featuring the likes of stuff like "Dirty Bastard Ale" and "Dead Dog Beer". It makes the beer Sunil drinks (when he's letting himself go, not being limited to Corona) sound normal.

Possibly one of the worst beers I've had but with a great name:

"Dirt Cheap Beer"

From the Dirt Cheap Liquor stores around St. Louis. They also have Dirt Cheap Whiskey, Dirt Cheap Vodka, etc.

I must say that I like the thought put behind Dwight's stacking of the various beers.

You can't just go overboard with one brand as you'll topple the whole stack.

Variety is the spice of life, or so I heard.

I'm still hurting real bad over here, Dwight.

If you recall, my brand, Henninger, made a decision to drop 12oz. bottles and only supply 16oz. cans.

Problem is that they have not yet delivered any cases to my supplier. It's been about 5 or 6 weeks. I'm such a creature of habit.

My replacement of choice has been a beer called Hansa. They come in 16oz. bottles only, which I call "Space Shuttles," because their emblem has a very 'space program' type look, and the bottle is shaped a little like the space shuttle. Problem here is that you're not always ready to have multiple 16oz. beers.

As a backup, I've been drinking Peroni, Stella, Pacifico, and I've just bought a case of Corona.

EDIT: I failed to mention that the "Space Shuttles" seem to have a bit more alcohol, so you sometimes feel like your going to the moon.

Sunil, I empathize... \:\(

Beer in a can, even you favorite brand, is a sad substitute.

Your backup beers are good, though Stella is hard to get here.

Sunil,
Not going to get much sympathy here, bottles are 640ml (21.6 oz) that is one hangover per six pack, but they are only sold individually or in 12 packs.

We have half dozen different brands of local beer, but only two things separate them, they all taste the same, borderline bad. There are imports, but it is a craps shoot as you never know how long or how it was stored, sun aged beer seldom wins any gold medals.

Price, Heineken is the most expensive; Singha is next, then the rest. Second difference is alcohol content. They advertise either 5.4 or 6.4 %. The 6.4, called Chang (elephant) varies from 2% to 13%, it therefore is the favorite. The locals feel they have hit the lottery when they get back to back 13s. Any case could contain any mixture; Chang uses the same quality control throughout, from brewing to packaging. A novel approach that seems to work, the owner is the second richest man in the country.

I feel only a little bit better, Rad, but thanks Mabro.

The story reminds me of Jamaica back in the late '80s.

They only had three beers on the Island being Heineken, Red Stripe, and Dragon Stout. All three were brewed on the island, and of course, all bottles were recycled.

I swear the Heineken and the Red Stripe were one and the same. The Dragon Stout, however, was real. It kind of tasted like cold teryaki sauce, but a little bit sweeter and thicker. It was the only dependable choice.

Whatever happened to Little Kings Cream Ale? Sold as an 8-pack in green 7oz bottles. Served nearly frozen it was about the smoothest drink you could have. Above 40 degrees it was more like sewage. I believe it was around 12% alchohal too.

Judging from one personal experience (about 30 years ago), everyone who drank it either died or wished they would.

I imagine that would have nixed it's market share.

Gotta admit it; after a lot of taste tests, I went back to the King of Beers. I stay with cans because the bottles kept cutting my hands and knees.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

I am offended that not ONE mention of Shiner Bock, the “Best Little Brewery in Texas”.

Due to fear of PB moderators, I’ll refrain from mentioning that my second and third choices are Negra Modelo and Corona, brewed by the Modelo Brewery of Mexico, by the family of billionaire wife of native Texan Tony Garza, U. S. Ambassador to Mexico. ... \:D

No anti-Mexico sentiments here. I drank about two cases of Dos Equis Amber a week for about 12 years.

You know though, the Dos Equis label says that the beer was brewed by some German monks who ended up in Mexico in the 1800s for whatever reason.

Schlafly micro brew in St. Louis has my favorite seasonal out right now, Imperial Stout. Winter always brings an end to fishing but a start to good beer. Schlafly brews all the good stuff during the winter. Right now they have their ESB and Coffee stout as well as the Imperial Stout. I'm looking forward to the Barley Wine which is aged in oak barrels, a bottle of that stuff will certainly take the winter chill off (10.5% ABV).

Give me a beer with a high level of IBU and malt, a pond boss mag, and a warm fire and I'm happy.

Since this is the 6 beers of christmass I better list them out. Schlafly: Barley Wine, Imperial Stout, ESB (extra special bitter), Coffee Stout,
Dogfish Head: 90 Minute IPA (India Pale Ale)
Meantime: IPA

Only in college. Even then only when money was realy tight. I don't know if it was the volume I drank of that stuff or the actual beer itselff but Mickeys used to give me the worst hangovers. Horrible. I cringe just thinking about it.
