I'd probably be the only one there (if not the whole forum) that has a Khaler Trem on my bass! If I ever make a trip though, I'll bring some of my local Blueberry Grail Ale!

Members xdamagexx Posted December 11, 2007 Members Share Posted December 11, 2007 i live in a DRY county in Arkansas the closest store/bar is half an hour away. so needless to say i don't drink often and when i do i mainly prefer cocktails. i like beer but with my job, if i drink one beer people can smell it for hours. so i tend to shy away from them. So needless to say i don't have much beer drinking experience. so ya'll recommend one ya'll talk about thats not a mass beer. i can do bud, michelob, red stripe, corona, DOS XX . i guess i mainly drink friends beers. hehehe, but i have tryed some sam adams that was nasty. ( it was thick, dark lager i think. i tind to like light beers, on the sweeter side. i don't care for Mickeys. Fosters is ok but i would pick over it. can anyone one half way recommend something to try.. i doubt i will find it here but i could find it when i go to memphis. thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big fan of the different Leinenkugles if you can get it. Try Honey Weiss first or the Red. I like the Creamy Dark, but if you're not a fan of Darks, I'd try these first. Pete's Wicked Ale Wanderlust is quite good, and Sam Adams Winterfest is excellent... not nearly as dark as their Blacks or Scottish. You may like IPAs, but they're too bitter and hoppy for me. I like reds, stouts and very dark ales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thunderbroom Posted December 15, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 15, 2007 Finally made it to Binnys. I was a little disappointed by the microbrew selection. There was far more than any other store I've been in; however, I now realize that they only stock a fraction of the stuff they have on their site at each store. I was really looking forward to getting my hands on Goose Island's Bourbon County Stout and Three Floyd's Alpha King Ale (among other things). A huge positive is that they have quite a bit of stuff from one of my favorite breweries...Dogfish Head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members flatcat Posted December 15, 2007 Members Share Posted December 15, 2007 You lucky bastage! They have my absolute favorite German beer, in stock. I can't get it here any more. Bitte ein Bit! I don't think Furstenburg makes an export, but I don't know. I had one in Germany last week and it was awesome. I had a Bitburger too, vom Fass, and I can't even tell you how happy I was. If you like a pilsner, look no further, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Super Bass Posted December 16, 2007 Members Share Posted December 16, 2007 Ahh if you're gonna go german it has to be dunkel beer rather than weiss beer! Oh btw, if any of you guys ever come over here theres a restaurant/bar/steak house place that specialises in wacky beers. They have different ones each week. I haven't been there myself yet but its supposed to be great. Its across the road from Christchurch cathedral in Dublin city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You clearly steered me right with the 1554 recommendation. If you're an IPA fan, give 90 Minute IPA a taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thunderbroom Posted December 16, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 16, 2007 I checked Sam Adams site. I didn't see a Bourbon County. The only one I've heard of is Goose Island's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the 120 but am afraid to drink it. I'm getting ready to try one of the new brews here momentarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thunderbroom Posted December 16, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 16, 2007 Which makes sense because I meant Goose Island. That's the reason I went to Binnys today primarily. So you're sayin' it's great, huh? Better than 1554? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thunderbroom Posted December 16, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 16, 2007 Have you had any of Goose Island's specialty brews like Matilda, Demolition or the one with the french name? They had all three today, but without knowing anything about them, I didn't want to take a gamble at $9 a four pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members willsellout Posted December 16, 2007 Members Share Posted December 16, 2007 Allagash is one my favorite breweries. Their Belgian white is sick. The Trippel you got should be tasty. They are totally underrated. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
