    I can't really remember a beer that's been overly dry. What I do remember is that around 30 years ago I used to drink wide mouth bottles of Rheingold Extra Dry and that beer was dry and very inviting on a hot summer day. I wish they still brewed it. What's a real dry beer for y'all??

    Duvel, many triples, most gueuzes, quite a few saisons. Oro de Calabaza, Bam Biere, Saison-Brett, Westmalle to name a few.

    Hmm, I find Wicked Weed's Grand Cru pretty dry for a Sour.

    Gueze, sours, saisons.... these are beers my stomach cannot tolerate. I drink Duvel and Orval and will have to pay more attention, as I do not get the dry quality. Tripels, I don't care for at all. Thanks for the suggestions. Keep 'em coming.

    Half Acre Daisy Cutter has always seemed really dry to me. I love it.

    I've never had a biere de champagne but if they are any more champagne-esque than Duvel I likely will hate all of them. I love Duvel but its champagne characteristics are the worst part about it.

    IPAs and DIPAs. I don't understand how people call 'em "juicy". All are so dry and give me cotton mouth.

    Try Brooklyn Black Ops. It's a chocolate champagne beer and I think it's fabulous!

    Yessir and you always run the risk of misunderstadning when you speak. I mean it is as dry as champagne. Brut as far as beer is concernered. Just lovely with bubbles and dry bubbles.
