QOTD: I’m an IPA guy, and the best is brewed during fresh hop season out here in Oregon. My absolute favorite is Bridgeport Hop Harvest Ale, an Imperial style IPA. However, it’s only made once a year in a very limited amount so the rest of the year I primarily drink Bridegeport IPA.

Definitely a Guinness – can’t beat it. And yes, the cliche is true – it does taste better in Ireland!

I grew up in Wisconsin. Ever since I was old enough to drink, I have always enjoyed Leinenkugels brewed in Chippewa Falls, WI. Some of their brews are bad, some of them are really good (octoberfest, original, and their honey weiss to name a few). You should check them out!

Shiner Bock for sure, and GV this was a great show. Enjoyed your guest and the interaction between you guys. Good comments and nice to have a regular fan in front of the camera. Shiraz rocks and is our current favorite after working all day.

Enjoyed the show on Shiraz…been looking to try some more since we haven’t had many shiraz/sirah varietals.

QOTD: Carl likes Hefeweizen. I have never learned to enjoy beer.

QOTD: So hard since I love beer so much, I’d have to go with Guinness though. Possibly a nice Leffe Brown could upset it though.

QOTD: Has to be either a brew from North Coast, such as Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout or the MacPelican’s Wee Heavy Strong Scottish Ale from my favorite Oregon brew pub, Pelican Brewery.
