Last night my older DS and I went to a Food and Beer tasting thing.. I went because he asked me if I would, (none of his friends wanted to go) so I said yes even though I dont like beer. But I liked the beers thay had us tasting! Who knew there were so many different tastes in beer?? We tried 4 different beers and I really liked them all.
So do you like beer and have you ever tried any different varieties (like Belgian, small breweries etc)?

When we went to Epcot for the Food and Wine Festival, we did a "bar crawl" and tried all the beers from all of the different countries. Our favorite, hands down, was Tsing-Tao, which is from China. I was super stoked when I found it in a grocery store here in town!
Here are some pics of me enjoying these tasty beverages.

I mostly just experiment with different varieties of Sam Adams when I want to try something new. Old Fezziwig Ale is the only one I couldn't get behind.

The beer god has spoken.

I do like beer, but I prefer it to go with the more "traditional" beer foods like pizza, wings, and German food. Most other times I like wine or mixed drinks. I guess I like it all!

Portland has a lot of microbreweries and I think everyone in my town has been a beer snob at one time or another (until you realize that dark beer has a lot of calories!) Like Wvugrrrl I discovered my currently fave beer at Epcot, Japan's Kirin. It's light and crispy and heavenly. The only kind of beer I don't enjoy is fruity beer.

Ooohhhh, I love the fruity beers! Lienenkugle BerryWiess is a favorite, but not something I would want to drink all the time. Years ago, there was a microbrew called Zebra and they had a raspberry and a peach beer and I loved both of those also.

My beer of choice however, is Corona.

I love beer, and I'm not snobby about it. My only requirement is it taste good! Dark, light- calories be damned! I'll drink most any kind from standard stuff like Budweiser to microbrewery blends. In fact, I spent last Saturday afternoon at a local microbrewery. I haven't developed a taste for the fruity beers though. I'm glad you found something you enjoyed, Sheila. It sounds like a fun event! What kind of food did they offer to go with the beer?

I'm more of a wine drinker, but on occasion I will have a beer. My beer of choice is usually Guiness.

Me too Although I'm not a big beer drinker, but if I had a choice, and one was available, it would be fruity

I've never tried beer...........the smell gets to me .......I wouldn't be able to raise a glass to my mouth without getting a whiff of it......My grown-up kids always joke about my not ever having a taste of a beer.....................it's wine for me rella

My husband is a beer affecianado (sp?). His favorites are from a Quebec brewery (actually, I think they brew it in the states now) named Unibrew. Beers called Dragon's Milk, La Fin Du Monde, and some other ones I can't remember. He prefers microbrews and can definitely tell a different taste/consistency between all beers. His general favorite is Leinenkugel's Red or any hefeweiss. I suppose you could call him a beer snob, but he'll take a regular beer too. He calls it liquid medicine! Personally, they're all the same to me, beer is beer. But hand me a strawberry daquri or Mai Tai and I'm good to go!!!

When I do drink beer (I normally sail with the Captain) its Miller Genuine Draft and Michelob.

Even though my hometown (15 miles away) is the home of Sierra Nevada, my refrigerator has Guiness in it

DH says to tell you one of his former favorites (he no longer drinks beer like he once did ) was Dead Guy Ale.

We do have a case of Spaten in the house for the rare occasion when Walt just has to have a beer with his pizza, but that is VERY rare. He won that case from the local radio station. And he considers it sacred. No cooking with that beer for me.
