Michael Hardner Posted September 8, 2023 Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 "Best Beer" means nothing just as "Best Car" "Best woman" etc. The best car is the slightly used Dodge Caravan. The best woman is my wife. The best beer is the cheapest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way you worded that makes it sound like they make the best beer in America. Solid stuff? Generally beers are either lagers or ales. Then ya got yer malt liquors, which are also might fine, might fine. Here's me enjoying a BA Johnson from Sawdust City. Its all subjective and everyone has their own tastes and preferences. Have been to 25 or so breweries 12 states (Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, California, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Minnesota, New York, and Missouri). My preference is for the stronger ales (9.0% ABV or greater and at least 70 IBU). However, have developed a taste for the German varietals lately such as Dunkelweizen, Bock, Maibock, Oktoberfest, etc. What separates one from another is their ability to make more than one style and does their product not have the stale almond flavor in the back. When brewers get lazy and either do not clean their equipment or crank up the yeast.. that is when you get the off taste. Anyways, that is my 2 cents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougie93 Posted September 9, 2023 Report Share Posted September 9, 2023 13 hours ago, OftenWrong said: I always thought you were a complete philistine. Now I know... best beer for the money is Dortmunder Actien Brauerei ( DAB ) Export a fine German Pilsner style laager, $2.75 for tallboy at the LCBO, which is cheap by today's prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceni warrior Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 Woodforde's Wherry. Brewed on the Norfolk Broads and named after the iconic sailing barge. My favourite draught ale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impartialobserver Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 It is too bad that more Canadian micro brews do not find their way into the US. Had one from Torque Brewing in Manitoba once and it was fabulous. Had it when I was in Minneapolis and apparently it was illegal to sell it so the guy gave it to me for free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
