    If I have to drink only beer for the rest of my life, it would probably have to be hefe-weizen. But can I please through some oatmeal stout in there for diversity?

    My list of fav beers is longer than my list of fav wines, I’ll spare ya’ll the long list. I’ve been drinking them craft beers (aka micro-brews) since before it was legal for me to do so. IPAs are my top favorite!

    I’m starting to think I like the new-world Shiraz style (as opposed to old-world Syrah, which I really like), although I’ve not had too many and there were a couple of crocks in there.

    QOTD - Belgian ale and wheat beers, including German HefeWeizen. Yum!

    Gary,
    What a nice show offering the co-pilot’s seat to a Vayniac. Nice. I felt I was invited to a private wine tasting and enjoyed the comraderie. Thanks for the shout out to Bern’s in Tampa. Looking forward to your re-visit. Sold a ‘99 Sartori Corte Bra Amarone for $60.00, and a 1970 Haut Liberal.
    Do you remember Fizzies? You might be too young. But the grape fizzies and root beer were my favs.

    i like sam adams, too
    recently had a long neck bottle of the belgian chimay red
    herbs & spices in the beer. delicious.
    also had a belgian style beer from quebec which was expensive (yen1,100) but worth it.
    recently i’m all over the belgians. could be a result of living in japan with their clean, crisp, flavor-challenged beers
    thanks for the shows

    I had so much fun watching this! What a nice man.
    I’m not much of a beer drinker. For me it’s all about wine. However, if you’re going to press me, I have tried some microbrews that I like, but a staple may be a St. Paulie Girl or Red Truck; and, if we’re going with Mexican food, a Pacifico w/lime.

    QOTD: Sam Adams Irish Red, Red Hook - Long Hammer IPA, Red Hook - Summer Blonde

  25. about 3 days ago

    no longer a lurker

    Stella Artois, Samuel Adams Black Lager and Samuel Adams Cream Stout.
    I hope this QOTD will encourage you to another beer show as you said you wanted to, or a WLTV first (I believe) whiskey show.
    Thanks, keep changing the world.
