Well for Christ's sake, what was his beer of choice?

When your testicles drop you'll stop drinking sissy foo foo banana drinks and you'll acquire a taste for the IPAs.

I'll drink any kind of beer you want to throw at me, but IPAs taste like straight urine. And not just any urine. We're talking the kind that comes out of a rhino inflicted with chlamydia that's been sitting in the African sun around a pile of elephant sh*t.

I brew beer as well. When I'm not busy with work I try to do things that I really enjoy that allow me to be creative and be a solid host. As most of you know I live in Knoxville these days. Nothing helps curb the feelings of UT fans knowing they are going to get their asses kicked like showing up with a fresh keg of beer and/or a big brisket. I've brewed much longer than I have smoked (9 years and 1 year, respectively). I brewed all the beer for my wedding and have two weddings coming up in Nashville that me and a friend are brewing for. If you haven't brewed your own I would highly recommend it. Nothing like getting the roration down to where you are brewing a batch of your beer while drinking another.

And Ray - if you're ever in the Nashville area let me know. I'd love to try some of that home brew.

Back in 2007, I had the pleasure of going to the GABF in Denver. What a variety of beers. I stood in the Sam Adams line about ten times in order to keep getting Utopias 2007 samples. Almost 26% ABV and, at the time, supposedly the world's strongest beer. No carbonation, very thick and sweet. I stumbled out of the convention center...

If you want to knock your dick in the dirt .... Bacon Maple beer:

Bro, my buddy owns a liquor store in tampa and sent me one of those for my bday, wow, it tastes like bacon, and you aint finishing the bottle without getting tilt.

 

[Durty South Swamp]

Rogue and Cigar City are definitely quality, didnt come to mind as I was posting but theyd be up there on my gold standard list as well.

SAS, why are you so angry about anything that isn't your preference? Disagreeing or plainly stating your preference for something else is never enough, youve got to break out the pitch fork and burn the motha down unless shes on board with your opinion. So Angry

SAS ain't angry Durty, he's just preaching the gospel. IPAs are pretty much Satan's urine 😉 but if you like them then I'm cool with that.
How much ABV was in that maple bacon beer by the way?

What this guy said. I don't get the love for IPAs. I feel like they just got big a few years back and now everyone has to say they like them or be shunned by the "beer snob" crowd. I am a beer snob, and those things are just awful.

IPA's are yak piss. And what's funny is back 5-10 years ago I really didn't mind them.

You had an affinity for yak piss?

I'll even freely admit that I can drink the occasional IPA that doesn't taste like an entire field of hops ended up in the glass by accident. I don't mind a little hop flavor in my beer. But don't make it the only thing you taste.

had a Founder's Dirty Bastard tonight......nice malty beer.

if you like imperial stouts, this one is damn fine

Nope. I didn't become a Fin Head until 3 or 4 years ago.

Am I the only one that likes Bud Light Lime? I didn't bother to go through the entire thread.

Prepare for massive judgment.

 

[divits]

I'm not a big fan of the boutique beers or beers with fruity accents. I was at a bar the other day and the bartender went on and on about how I should try this certain beer so I relented. Just as I figured it would, it tasted like the water left over from boiling old socks. Disgusting.

I'll stick with a good lager like Yuengling or Rolling Rock.

 

[WobbleGator]

Fat Tire and Yuengling are the only beers that I like so far.
