Only Sam Adams I can stomach is the cherry wheat, which is delicious.My only new find this year:http://www.hopcity.com/barking-squirrel/
Pick up some Dragon's Milk...yep it costs a bunch, $16 for a 4-pack(around here).But one will do you good.Stan said:Love imported beers from Europe, Australia, Japan, etc.Won't even touch American beers, they're awful. Almost like drinking a 50/50 split between beer and water, pathetic.
I am a fan of several of Sam Adams seasonal brews, including the Summer Ale, Octoberfest, and Winter Lager. Their Christmas Ale is very good, too -- my niece gave some to me for Christmas, bless her.Mike Frezon said:I still like the Sam Adams. And my favorite is the Summer Ale and I WAS very bummed this year, Adam, when it gave way to Octoberfest.
I've recently had some Shiner Bock I really liked and some Dogfish Head IPA that was really good. I have concluded that I don't lean towards beers with lots of hops (bitter) and tend to prefer those "lighter" in flavor.
I saw on some TV program on beer that American beers were geared for a hotter climate and for more thirst-quenching than flavor. The ultra light beers like Michelob Ultra qualify as 'near-beers' at best IMO and are made for people who don't really like beer. I like hoppy ale type beers myself, mainly IPAs. I particularly like Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA, though I am open to others.Stan said:Love imported beers from Europe, Australia, Japan, etc. Won't even touch American beers, they're awful.

Worth every expensive penny.
A-B has done that for years. Usually at the breweries closest to flooding.Dennis Nicholls said:I see that A-B has halted production of beer to can instead drinking water for the TX flood victims.
