Hank Kingsley Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 Carlsburg I loved this (and Smithwicks) in Ireland, but I've yet to see Carlsburg anywhere in the States (well, Naples).
Giuseppe Zangara Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 I can find Carlsburg in just about any Publix up here. As for my favorite beer, jeez where to start? Lately, I've been loving Dogfish Head's 60 Minute IPA.

C Dubya 04 Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 Dog Fish Head is quality. Right now though my favorite beer is Victory Hop Devil Ale. Anyone who likes good beers should track some Victory down.
AboveAverage484 Posted June 15, 2006 Author Report Posted June 15, 2006 Victory Hop Devil is great, I agree C-Dubya. I'm ready for Dog Fish Head to rerelease their seasonal World Wide Stout with 18% alcohol baby.
Red Baron Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 I should mention LotC that I can only drink Rickards on tap.

I've had it and I do like it, though not as much as the 60. The 60 has a stronger hop flavor—which is odd, considering—and I love really hoppy stuff. Have you had their 120? It's...okay. A little too much like gin, I think. The only time I had it, I was splitting a 12oz bottle with a friend; it took me about 20 minutes to finish just six ounces, which makes me think I could never take a whole bottle. Their World Wide Stout, in spite of being almost as strong as the 120, is very, very drinkable. I can't wait until its available again.

I mentioned it already but I can't recommend it enough: Ayinger's Celebrator Dopplebock. I praise it because it was the beer that turned me off of the crap beer that I had been drinking and on to higher quality import and domestics.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 I like the Celebrator—I have one of those little rams hanging off the handle of a cabinet in my kitchen!—but I have a mild allergy to spending ten dollars or more for a four pack. So I don't drink Celebrator very often. Right now, I'm enjoying Dogfish Head's Raison D'Etre. I haven't had it in over a year; it's just as good as I remembered.
AboveAverage484 Posted June 16, 2006 Author Report Posted June 16, 2006 Yeah, I can get it for 9.99 for a four pack. I just like it enough to spend that much, and yes, the ram thingies rule! As a matter of fact, if they sold that stuff in 1.49 40 oz like they do King Cobra, 95% of the country would be drunks.
Guest Vitamin X Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 Where does Inc find these "indie" beers? At my Publix, they seem to have rather standard fare, and the closest I can get to anything that's not your typical Sierra Nevada-Newcastle-domestics crap is at wineries, and even then.. I guess due to where I live.. it's mostly Latin American beers and whatnot. I have a fondness for Heineken, but I'm more of a lager guy, I suppose.

Surprisingly, I looked around for places in Miami for you VX and couldn't find anything either. It appears that Tampa is the hot spot for beer in Florida, although it's quite a ways away from Miami, IIRC.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 I do most my beer shopping at select Jax Liquors locations (there's several here, but only a third of them have a good selection), World Market and Broudie's. The last of those is a liquor store out at the beach; they also have a couple of locations in St. Augustine, but neither are quite as up to snuff as the one here. Occasionally, I'll find something a little left-of-center at Publix, but that doesn't happen very often.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted June 17, 2006 Report Posted June 17, 2006 Shiner is a decent, affordably-priced lager, but little more than that. They have a light beer that's arguably better than any light beer I've ever had, but that's not saying much. I like Dos Equis okay. I prefer the amber to the regular lager, but really, I never drink it unless I'm eating at a Mexican restaurant, where it goes great with the cuisine.
Mik Posted June 17, 2006 Report Posted June 17, 2006 Saranac samplers are usually good w/ the Christmas 12 pack probably being my favorite. As I was born and raised in Pennsylvania, I believe I am fully obligated to mention Yuengling. I also like Magic Hat #9.

Hmm, well I've found a natural foods store called Wild Oats over in Miami Beach, so I think I might do some beer shopping there as well, if you found some things at World Market. I'm going there anyways on Sunday. What lagers do you like?
Lord of The Curry Posted June 17, 2006 Report Posted June 17, 2006 Any Torontonians or those visiting the city should make the effort to visit the Beer Bistro on Front Street. They have a ridiculously large selection of taps and something around 100 + bottles. Also, they make the best ketchup you'll ever have in your life. Smoked tomatoes = delicious catsup.
