BEER!

Postby guy07 » Fri Jun 04, 2010 7:11 pm

That's right, this is a beer thread. Post stuff about beers you like, questions you have and other stuff like that.
I'll start with introducing you all to a new find of mine:
Rickards Dark

The true Canadian beer! I mean, it's got maple syrup in it. Can't get much more Canadian than that lol.

I've been meaning to try that out, so far I've only tried Orion, Arashi, and Kirin... keep going back to Orion though. I am going to check if they got Rickard's the next time I go for a beer run... you've aroused my curiosity from the maple syrup you mentioned :uhoh:

The thicker and darker the beer, the more antioxidants it has...
...so Guinness is good for you :awesome:

...and the choice was clear, sorry but quantity won this round :sweat:

Ya, I've seen those around. But Heineken has to be drunken in pints. I don't know why, but it seems to taste better in a 500ml can than anything else. Don't ask why lol.
Also, Rickards Dark doesn't actually taste like maple syrup. It just tastes like a dark ale but not as heavy in flavour. Guess the syrup neutralizes it a bit. I'm not sure if it's available outside of Canada tho. I sometimes have a problem relating to other beer enthusiasts because I mainly drink beers that are only available in canada. Stuff like Rickards, Steamwhistle, Moosehead, Waterloo Dark and Buzz beer. (The Drew Carry Show, anyone?)
Image
Buzz beer is pretty cool. It's made with hemp so I'm not even sure if it's legal in the states. Can you guys grow industrial hemp? It doesn't get you high or anything, just ads a sort of strong bitter/sour taste to the beer.
I've tried the international favs like Bud, Heineken, Guinness and Beck but somehow I like the less common beers more.

Japanese beer sucks when you are used to Euro beers or Micro brews.

Not a huge beer fan, tho Guinness Extra Stout is pretty yummy cold or room temp. Liquid pumpernickel ^_^

Normally tho I'm for some kind of rum concoction with Captain Morgan Private Stock(Rum and Bawls, Rum Pineapple juice and 7-UP, Rum and Frappuccino, Rum and Cream Soda, Rum in a glass)
