JohnnyHector Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Drank a sh*t load of Yuengling over the weekend down in Miami -- My latest beer of Chioce is Killians Red. Meh. Faux Irish ale made by Coors. Try a Smithwick's instead if you come across it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crusher Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I would happily enjoy any beer any of you decide to purchase for me in Jacksonville. Just so you know. You don;t have to worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrissey Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Brooklyn Brewery is OK, but Sixpointis by far the best brewery in that borough now. They used to be only available on draft, but about a year ago, they started canning (not bottling) so that homebodies could enjoy their delectable concoctions. However, at $9.99 for a 4-pack, it's not cheap, so imagine that the additional cost is to cover the health insurance premiums and pension for the union brewery workers to justify the pricetag, slats. too bad they contract brew their canned beer at Lions Brewery in PA.

slats Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 That's a commitment brew, remember having a bottle of that last winter. I was in this beer bar in NYC years ago that had it on the menu with the disclaimer that they wouldn't sell you more than two. Well, I had my two and ordered a third just to see if I could get away with it. They served me. Then I fell down the stairs going to the bathroom.

It's 11 now, use to be 13 I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybroome Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I'm not a real big beer guy, but occasionally I do like a Guinness. Smooth, creamy, and packs a decent punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smooth, creamy, and packs a decent punch. what do you mean when you say "packs a decent punch"? Guinness by the way has the same ABV as Bud Light, 4.20% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyHector Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 too bad they contract brew their canned beer at Lions Brewery in PA. I'm aware. I've been to their brewery in Red Hook to pick up kegs and it's tiny...way too small to even think about canning or bottling. As for this somehow invalidating my claim that they're the best brewery in Brooklyn, I don't think one ounce of Brooklyn Lager has ever been brewed outside of Utica. They're not the only craft brewery to contract brew after outgrowing their original facilities (though I will admit that they're not exactly forthcoming about their arrangement with Lion). Southampton, Smuttynose, Ommegang, and plenty of others still contract brew some of their selections and as long as the quality doesn't suffer noticeably, I couldn't care less what facility produced it.

Guinness by the way has the same ABV as Bud Light, 4.20% Well I said I'm not a real big beer drinker. I usually drink Kentucky Bourbon or Canadian Whiskey. Beer, while tasty, still makes me piss too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombdirt Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Thanks for the suggestions, everybody. I've tried a few of the beers mentioned (Yuengling, Blue Moon, etc. Blue Moon is excellent) and I'll have to seek out some of the others to see if I can get any of them around here. In any case, I have some serious drinking to do. You know, for "research." Also, this looks super intimidating: The OP cited Sam Adams, I didn't think he was quite ready for Samichlaus. I see the words "malt liquor" and I think of this: Or this: And oddly enough, I like both of those. I have plenty of hazy memories involving both O.E. and Mickey's. Good times.
