I'm "famous" for touting <insert beer name here>

st. bernardus abt 12. that's one beer that i have 24/7. all time favorite.

 

Schlafly!

 

Lately, I've been all about Drake's.

Also, it's not a brewery, but I talk up the Tap Room at the Coddingtown Whole Foods like nobodies business.

 

I'm a bit of a homer, and I probably tout Surly Furious more than any other brew.

Agree. Hell, I got the warning and delete for a clean joke. Used to be fun here.

 

Some people might say I talk a bit much about Bourbon County Stout

 

Common knowledge amongst my friends that I am obsessed with 2 things:
-Just about anything Jackie O's
-Columbus Brewing Bodhi

 

Pretty much anything from Lagunitas.

 

From the past its Maclay of Alloa.
From the present, Harveys Imperial Stout.
In the future, but still not yet, an admission that the USA produces the worlds most exciting and justifiably well made and sought off beers in the world.

 

How about a “Back to the Future” circa 2001?

The late beer writer Michael Jackson, who was very knowledgeable of the world beer scene, was an advocate of the beer in America. In an old article (2001) he discussed the wonderful combination of beer quality and choice of beers in America. Over the last 11 years the American beer scene has got even better. Read Michael Jackson’s statements below:

“Scarcely anywhere in Europe, perhaps nowhere, is it as easy to find under one roof beers brewed in the Czech Republic, Germany, Belgium and the British Isles as it is in New York, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C, Chicago, Seattle, Portland or San Francisco. No country in Europe could remotely approach the 50-odd styles of beer that are judged each year at the Great American Beer Festival. Remember, all of those are brewed in the U.S.

I know of no brewery in Europe that matches skill and adventurousness in the manner of the Southampton Publick House (with its Eisbock and Saison, for example) or classic styles and an individual touch as Brooklyn or Victory do. I don't think any European brewery is as committed to eclecticism as Dogfish Head or Hair of the Dog. If anyone in Europe is as enthusiastic about big, bold, flavors as Great Lakes or as stout-hearted as Kalamazoo, it is an extraordinarily well-kept secret. No European city has as many breweries as Seattle or Portland, Oregon”

Hey, I remember that article. And to think at the time I thought MJ had flipped his lid.

 

I used to use that article to "prove" to Germans that U.S. beer could be great. And to think I believed that their arrogance and ignorance was unique to that country and beer culture....

 

My friends would tell me it's Jack's Abby

 

I can never STFU about Jester King. It doesn't help that people coming over to the house are always asking about it after seeing their funky labels in the fridge and we have about 6 brewery glasses floating around the house.

 

In a good way, or in a god awful way?

 

I give Founder's much love to the uninitiated.

 

BBC Coffehouse porter is my go to extra, and I always try and rep the Gandhi Bot

 

In a great way. Best substance I've ever consumed

 

La Cumbre Elevated IPA. Have some, and you will be too.

 

Jolly Pumpkin, their sours are great and no one really talks about them much.

That and Rodenbach grand cru.
