4 and 1/2 cases.....just so you know...

You are missing out on real true craft beers, the rest are big batch lager and pilsner water.   

To revive this thread , (haven't read the replies in a while), I have sampled some of those "craft beers" you speak of & I really don't care for the taste!    reminds me of those foo foo drinks w/ the little umbrellas not to mention they're bitter as hell!

And as you have mentioned before taste is very subjective.

 My favorite all around Ohio Brewery is Great Lakes. Three Floyds out of Indiana is a great place to spend the afternoon ( home of the Dark Lord). Cigar City out of Tampa also offers a variety of brew to tantalize your palate, on my last Jai Alai.

Currently I am just south of Blanco Texas, home of the Real Ale Brewery that recently released their seasonal Ccoffee Porter.

The micro brew beer craze is spreading across this country like wild fire. My son-in-law probably has the best beer selection in Texas with over a 1000 different types of Imperial Stouts, Porters, and IPA's. We sampled Sam Adams Utopias last evening, taste more like a liquor than beer.

You must be a fan of all things beer to like some of the crafts, and not liking the good stuff is what happens when you drink beer **** all the time.

Good list......good list!

This thread is making me thirsty. I'm going out to the garage to make an Arrogant Bastard Ale clone and drink some homebrew!

Black and Tan is my go to beer. DO NOT ORDER ANY KIND OF B&T IN AN IRISH PUB! Coors has been making something called "Third Shift", kind of a blue collar thing I think. Amber ale, similar to what AB was making a few years back with "American Ale". Winter calls for dark stuff though. The darker the better, like Mackeson's Triple Stout.

Living in Germany for a couple years turned me into a beer snob.  I will still drink Natural light if I am feeling thirsty but usually if I want a good beer I reach for an O'Fallon or Schlafly (both STL brands).

Erdinger Hefeweisen was my absolute favorite while I was in Germany and their Dunkle was a close second.

I will still drink Natural light

Me too, but I was afraid to admit it....

By the way, I brought those Nattie Light cannons to the Spider Ride this year....funny how no one seemed to want one?

Lately I've been drinking Natty Daddy, 24 oz can, 8% alcohol for $1.60 ... yes, I am cheep

That for sure doesn't suck.

A beer run to Ohio for that overrated rot-gut beer?

TOTALLY AGREE w/ Pokey (this is a once-a-year event, apparently). Horrible beer. All the bars in Cincinnati have the stuff now and sorry, but it's just not a very good tasting beer. Now Fat Tire, Boddingtons, Bells, Cleveland Brewing's Elliot Ness, to name a few, are beers worthy of a trip.

Why on the black-n-tan and Irish bars? That makes no sense. The original B&T is Guiness and Smithwick's, both Irish and a good Irish bar knows how to mix them properly.

Surely you can agree with me on something more than once a year.
