I like just about anything Sam Adams makes, but i particularly like their:
-Scotch Ale
-Summer Ale

One of my all time favorite beers is Alaskan Brewing Companies Alaskan Amber.

There's a GREAT brewery in Idaho Springs, Colorado called Tommy Knocker and some of my favorites from them are:
- Ornery Amber Lager
- Butt Head Bock

Another well known brewery around here is in Breckenridge, called ironically enough, Breckenridge brewery. My favorites from them are:
- Avalanche Ale
- Vanilla Porter (I especially like this one)

Flying Dog brewery is good:
- Road Dog Porter
- Old Scratch Amber lager

Dog Fish head is good as well:
- I'm not typically a big fan of IPA's, but their 90 minute IPA will tastes great and will knock you on your butt. Pricey thought. Around here it goes for about $9.00 for 4 bottles.

And my favorite porter is Deschute's Black Butte Porter.

Thanks Cingular

Currently my two go to beers are:

True North India Pale Ale: Tasty, only decent IPA I can found. A very enjoyable beer though best served in a glass, it looses something from a bottle.

Steam Whilstle Pilsner: Nothing to crazy just a really well done Pilsner. It has just enough extra aroma, flavour and mouth feel to make it stand out in the world of lagers.

It's extreamly difficult finding a decent selection here as there is a monopoly set up in our Beer stores.

Gonna try to make it to the Oregan Brewers Festival next year.
Full Sail will be the host brewery for 2009 and I will definitely be there!

Sorry to hear that Birdie, have you tired the all malt lagers? I don't know to much about them but I believe, as the name states, that they are without hops?

However a beer without at least a little hops is not the most flavorfull.

Well, I recently found out that I have celiac disease, but haven't had the second test done yet so can't say with 100% certainty that I have it strongly enough that I have to go on a gluten free diet. I'm doing my best to just not think about it because there's so many good beers I haven't tried and want to.

Recently checked out Octoberfest from Sam Adams and it was a bit different at first, but definitely good.

**Spulat** · 09-16-2008, 01:41 PM

I could use a bit frosty beer about now.

-and the day has only begun.

O'Newcastle, how I miss you so. I should have picked up a six-pack when I was in Lucky last night.

Would Texans be interested in a Brewpub gathering?
