The unofficial all things BEER thread!

[cecilbturtle]

Don't rip me cause i don't exclusively drink craft beers. I love beer in general.

drink what you like! ive been a professional brewer for almost 10 years and the thing that irritates me most are beer snobs. especially the ones that tell you what you "should" like and "should" be drinking.

there are a whole lot of good beers out there and there are a whole lot of bad beers out there. but my opinion of good or bad is definitely not everybodys.

so ill say it again. drink what YOU like!

come to think about it, our beer is a lot like our snakes. so many different "styles" to pick from. not everyone is into the same things but i wouldnt let anyone tell me what to drink just as i wouldnt tell me which snake breed or morph i like best.

sorry for rambling

I was at sweetwater a couple weeks ago (someone mentioned them a couple pages back) and I really enjoyed their new porter. 420 was pretty good too...well, all of them were good.

Was also introduced to a beer called (I'm certain I'll misspell it) schneider's aventinus, or something like that. Very interesting beer, and very good.

Laughing skull was very good as well. I tried so many awesome beers that weekend I can't remember them all.

While at home, I normally stick to guinness or newcastle.

When doing wine tasting, I have a very simple and to the point definition of a "good wine":

A good wine is one that you enjoy.

I believe the same can be said about beer.

Qualifying multiple beers and ranking from most to least favorite can be quite a bit trickier however.
