Official GCMB Beer Aficionado Thread

[Durty South Swamp]

I don't think Ive ever seen a thread dedicated to quality brews so let's start one. Rules are simple and short. Post about your favorite craft beers. Anything from a microbrewery, anything foreign or imported, anything unique. No budweiser or coors light posts please, this is a thread for quality craft beer selections.

My gold standard list would contain (but not be limited to) the following:

• Southern Tier - double IPA, creme brule, black IPA, pum king, etc.
• Terrapin - Hopzilla, hopsecutioner
• Stone - their signature IPA, arrogant bastard, etc.
• Bells - 2 hearted among others
• Dogfish Head - too many to list
• New Glarus - spotted cow among others
• New Belgium - Fat Tire
• Kona - Fire Rock, longboard
• Big eye - a few good ones
• Innis and Gunn - a couple of very fine selections, all infused with bourbon/whiskey

As you can tell I'm an IPA guy, the hoppier and higher abv content, the better. So what are some of your favorites?

It's about time Durty started a beer thread.
There have been a couple of aged Ales in whiskey barrels that have recently hit my palette.
I'm not a hoppy IPA guy so I like the Ales - "Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale" and the other is a Tennessee based Ale (in the fridge) called Hap & Harry's Tennessee Lager (Hap was a member of the Jack Daniels family in Lynchburg). So far both have been very smooth...

Right now I'm drinking a Swamp Head Stump Knocker but usually it's a home brew

Gatorhunter - what kind of home brew do you cook up?

I love Fat Tire. Locally up here, Olde Mecklenburg Brewery in Charlotte (QCG can likely verify without starting a poll) is really a first-class outfit, and their best brew IMHO is their Copper Ale. Very tasty and very easy to drink.

I'm an IPA guy as well and to me Dogfish Head is the gold standard. Durty listed some good ones, and I would also throw in some Florida beers like Funky Buddha hop gun and Cigar City jai alai. Outside of IPAs one of my personal favorites is Rogue dead guy ale.

Let it just put it this way to you, bro, did The Bandit drive across the country to smuggle Coors Light?

Hellz no.

Obviously you haven't been watching tv. Guys are zip lining through the rocky mountains to get it.

You don't need 1/3 more water in your beer.... any beer.

EXACTLY!!!!! Those bullets are golden not silver.

Most recently a summer ale with lemon peel and spices. Not my style but i brewed it as a crowd pleaser to take on vacation with another family. It turned out pretty good. I did an IPA a couple months ago. It turned out to be my favorite that I have done thus far.

Anything but gross light beer and gross IPA's. I don't want my beer tasting like water or piss.
