I'll look for that one (like I need encouragement...). I'll be having my last supper at the Stone Brewery on Sunday before heading to Mexico... Looking forward to a nice Imperial Russian Stout, that's become my favorite from them. I think its the best beer brewed in the US and #2 in the world.


Good taste Rob!!

Yuengling claims it's the oldest - in America.  Not bad stuff, either.  I like their porter.   There are so many microbreweries now that it's probly impossible to narrow it down and still have a functioning liver.

BUT, if I had a cafe, it would serve Arrogant Bastard Ale (Stone Brewery) and 5 Hour Energy Drinks and would have bouncers.


.....and carry the complete line of THE BEST DEFENSE hair care products.....  ;D

I, too, am interested....
Why, yes....I'm the right-wing extremist Obama warned you about... ;D

I just wish Texas was as free and independent as everyone thinks it is...   :'(

Yuengling is a good call for a "lighter" beer, Kent.

As for my personal #1, it is the Starkbier that they serve at the Paulaner Nocherberg at the Starkbierfest every year. It is only available for a few weeks and is high alcohol, great taste. I've made it to the last 3 events and plan on making it in 2010 also. One of the teams I train turned me on to it in 2007 and it has become a tradition. Although you can get it bottled, or at least a version of it, the real stuff is supposedly only served at the Nocherberg in 1 liter steins. I have been given credit for 5 in one evening, but I have repeatedly insisted that I didn't finish the last one. They also have great bretzels at the Nocherberg.

Here's a pic from our table in 09:




(PS- see how little I care about going off topic outside of D&T and TBD forums  ;D)

Actually, that pic was this year... the "Debacle of 5" was in '07.. two of the three guys on the right were there... but I did not need to get carried home.

What you describe sounds like what the Germans call "doppelbock," or doublebock, which, as they explained it, was originally the thicker stuff at the bottom of the barrel, which the monks who brewed it drank during lent to give them the nourishment they needed while fasting. 

Thus, I should think, the 5 brewskis you downed in '07 were the equivalent of two or three medium rare sirloin steaks. 

The doppelbock we drank in the aught mid-60s in Kassel also had the extra alcoholic content, which you didn't notice so much because of the thick body of the beer.  More than once I failed to remember how many I drank or how I got back to post when we were finished celebrating another day.  My head tried to remind me the next morning, tho, without any of the joy the beer had provided earlier.
