OT: recommend me beer!

good american beer sounds like an oxymoron like military intelligence or government efficiency

You, sir, are an idiot.

(Either that or you don't search too hard outside the Coors/Miller/Bud Lite end of the market)

Stuff by New Belgium (who do Fat Tire), Russian River, Doghead Fish, Sierra Nevada, Victory, Goose Island a boatload of other microbrews are really very very good.

Hef, New Castle and Stelle are my choice...But Mr Panda if you come to the USA, you must drink PBR Pasbt Blue Ribbon (the good stuff)

Do you have to do this whilst wearing Raybans and overly tight trousers?

american beer.. not so good.

australian beer.. very good!

Josh - you'll have to hook a brother up. I'm staying with friends in Adelaide before I hit Melbourne and one of them works for Coopers so I'm doing the brewery tour and getting show some of the other good bts and bobs

I'm in Melbourne from the 20-24th Feb (hopefully hooking up wth Mr Nice for a gig whilst I'm there...)

Where's good?

[Sherlock Ohms]

anything over 5% and doesn't taste like camel piss!

So that rules out almost all the Kiwi beer I've ever had ...

:P

Blue Moon, it's a lovely beer. Served with a slice of Orange - not sure if you can find it easily in the US but it's brewed in Colorado.

Actually reminds me of a beer i had in Berlin, i think it was called Paulaner or something simlar.

Assuming the Paulaner was their Hefe Weizen, that'd be because Blue Moon is Molson Coors take on that beer (and was originally aimed at the ladies if I'm not mistaken)

If you get a chance try somemore of the original Weizen/Wit styles, Franziskaner/Erdinger/Weihenstaphen Wiesse beers, or Hoegaarden for a Belgian Wit

I also love me some DC Brau. Brewed by two top DC Djs



The first brewery in DC since the prohibition was sacked!

I still need to hit up the brewery for the tour.

Diggin blue moon lately but it's no surprise since I like all the Weizen/Wits I've tried. Hoegaarden is good stuff; there was a strip club called Star Garden in LA that had it on tap perhaps for all too obvious reasons. Just had Maui Coconut Porter and it was very nice. There's a craft beer renaissance going on in the US as far as I can tell; seems everywhere I go there is a huge list of delicious stuff I've never heard of available. Had some Allagash and Chimay earlier today (the Allagash was black and bitter like Guinness, the Chimay was a white ale).
