What's your soul beer?

[Squatch]

You know...what beer would you sell your soul to have, if you were stranded on a deserted island...say, Greenland or Ireland.:P

[Chomskyite]

1. Miller Genuine Draft

Poured into a glass.

[shugh514]

34. Redhook ESB

Extra Special Bitter Ale

Honorable mention - Dogfish 60 minute IPA

served in a frosty pint glass

[m_welby]

60. blech!! gnat pi** in a glass n/t

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

65. I like MGD well enough...

but to sell your soul? Don't think so.

[Fleshdancer]

2. Isahi super dry

I know Japanese beer isn't the fashionable answer, but it's damn good stuff.

[Squatch]

3. Well, since most Japanese beer is brewed by German expats...

it's ok to enjoy.

[Fleshdancer]

7. lol! I had no idea

Good! It's nice to know I'm still being true to my German heritage
:toast:

[DS1]

27. That's a VERY good choice for those conditions

Something like Sam Adams, my stuck in a chilled basement soul beer, would be too much for a desert island

[Fleshdancer]

37. I think so too, Isahi is a very clean, crisp beer...

perfect for a deserted island. :)

[Squatch]

38. Are you sure you don't mean "Asahi"?

[Fleshdancer]

43. oops. yeah, that too. forgive me, I'm running on a sleep deficit n/t

[Schema Thing]

41. Agree

[leftofthedial]

4. Left Hand Sawtooth Ale

[m_welby]

59. thats fine stuff n/t

[leftofthedial]

62. left hand makes great beers

so does o'dell

If I had two choices, the second would likely be 90 Shilling

third would be Rogue's Brutal Bitter (that would be #1, but it takes me a day or two to recover!)

[ghostsofgiants]

5. Barq's Root Beer

[Zenaholic]

6. Victory Hop Devil

Local beer brewed in Downingtown, PA but has gained national exposure. Yummy. :beer:

[Squatch]

9. We have Troeg's Hop Pocket...tastes like a freshly shorn lawn

Blech!

Too much hops.

[seemunkee]

13. BLASPHEMY

too much hops!!! No such thing.

[Squatch]

14. Beer shouldn't be "green"

[seemunkee]

11. Haven't tried it but heard good things

Maybe I'll go get a mixed six pack of different IPAs this weekend.

[seemunkee]

8. Dogfish Head 60 minute IPA

Hoppy goodness

[Squatch]

10. I love their stuff. Their Raison is amazing.

[ceile]

12. Smithwick's

Wouldn't be a problem if I was stranded in Eire though!

[StuckinBFE]

26. I would differently give up my soul for Smithwick's

I fell in love with this beer in Whistler one spring break, have been on the search for it since. I occasionally find it here in the states, ok well it only happened once and it was on the east coast.

[ceile]

29. We just got it here in TX

The company refused to export it for many years. I guess they finally gave in, but it's only in Irish pubs. Go figure. :eyes:

[seemunkee]

32. Little local place has it here

i climb with the guy who runs it(read free pints)

[ceile]

52. Sweet! n/t

[progmom]

15. while i might sell my soul for chocolate...

i don't think i ever would for beer.

;)

[Squatch]

17. Sam Adams makes a Chocolate Bock that's pretty good

Samuel Adams® partnered with Scharffen Berger Chocolate to develop their newest innovation, Samuel Adams® Chocolate Bock. Tettnang Tettnanger and Spalt hops were hand-selected from the world's oldest growing area and combined with a complex selection of malts including two row Pale, Munich and caramel to create a rich and satisfying brew. This dark beer has a big, malty character that is combined with the subtle sweetness of chocolate. The chocolatiers at Scharffen Berger crafted an exclusive blend of chocolate for Samuel Adams® made with cocoa beans from Ghana called forastero. Samuel Adams® Chocolate Bock was aged on a bed of this chocolate to create its unique layers of flavor. As the beer matured, the fruity, tart, earthy and chocolate aromas were infused into the liquid to give the brew a complex, full-bodied taste with a velvety finish. A hint of vanilla was added to meld the symphony of flavors together.

[progmom]

19. mmmmmm

might have to try that. :9

[Squatch]

20. It's about $13 a bottle.

[progmom]

23. mmmmmmmm

might have to get someone to buy me one. ;)

[seemunkee]

33. Try Young's double chocolate stout

[Dr.Phool]

16. Old Leghumper

Only available at the Thirsty Dog.

So many legs, so little time.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

44. LOL!

What a great name for a brew! :beer:

[the_spectator]

18. Any good ale from England in an English pub -

It always tastes so good, but I find it loses something when carried across the herring pond to us here in the U.S. - never tastes the same.

My favorite beer here in the U.S. however, hands down, is Magic Hat No. 9! It has a definite peach taste, which you might think wouldn't work in beer, but in fact, it works out just wonderfully!

[Initech]

21. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

Greatest beer ever!

Either that or maybe Guinness & Bass Ale.

[XemaSab]

57. Guiness and Sierra Nevada

and Guiness and Red Tail Ale make some really, really, really yummy black & tans...

[CrownPrinceBandar]

22. Shiner Bock or Old Peculier...............

but I probably could find OP in Ireland, so my soul is safe on that point.

[ceile]

35. Shiner?

Don't get me wrong-I love Shiner. But it's so prevalent here (Austin), that the only time I really crave it is when I'm on the east coast where it's unavailable.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

42. I got my taste for Shiner............

when I lived in Austin back in the late 90's. And now I have come home to WV, I can't get it here. :( Never thought I'd say this in my life, but I miss Texas.

[ceile]

50. Well, you DID live in Austin....

one of coolest places on earth. Austin and Houston are the only places I would EVER live in this state.

[ceile]

51. Have you looked into ordering it online?

[CrownPrinceBandar]

54. Yeah....

but I rather go back there and drink it "in person".

If its not a personal question, have you lived in Austin for awhile? I lived there from '93 to '97, and I have been told that the late 90's, post-"Slacker" period were the salad days of Austin. I have heard stories that Austin isn't nearly as cool now as it was then.

[youspeakmylanguage]

24. Carlsberg

That's my "premium" favorite. Too expensive to drink on a regular basis.

[swag]

25. Fat Tire

[lovelaureng]

66. Fat Tire

I agree 110% with you on this. The gods smile down upon us whenever this
is brewed.

[swag]

67. I'll hoist one to your good name forthwith.

[Fenris]

28. Elysian Fields Pale Ale

[Ryano42]

30. Anchor STEAM!!!!

Yum diddy Yum Yum! :9:9

[Xipe Totec]

70. And a nice loaf of San Francisco sourdough!

It don't get no better!

[MercutioATC]

31. A cold island or a warm island?

Cold - Guinness Stout

Warm - Bass

[Squatch]

39. Warm Bass? Blech.

[MercutioATC]

55. I guess you're right...

I was thinking of a cold Bass on a warm day.

Perhaps a warm island with an artesian spring that'd keep the beer cold (yes, I know there are no artesian springs in the middle of the ocean...this island would have to be pretty close to a bigger land mass).

[In_The_Wind]

36. Blackened VooDoo Lager

ya buyin ~

[mac56]

40. Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale

Or my own homebrew.

[Catfight]

[GoddessOfGuinness]

69. My dream vacation

would be brewery hopping in Belgium. :-)

[Left_Winger]

49. I doubt if many people here would know of it...

Hasseröder. It is made in Wernigerode, Germany.

www.hasseroeder.de

Good stuff!

[Lady Effingbroke]

53. Newcastle.

[WeRQ4U]

56. Terminal Gravity IPA - brings a tear to my eye.

[m_welby]

58. tough one

can I just bring my brew equipment and be on an island full of barley and hops?

If I had to choose, I'd go for a Ten Penny Ale from olde burnside brewing in east hartford (ct). one of the best ales I've ever had.

[jandrok]

61. Trappist Westvleteren 12 (Yellow Cap)

http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/313/1545/

[m_welby]

63. wait! I revise that !!

Actually it'd be 'delerium tremens' damn, thats a great belgian ale (and the cat like it too!).

[barb162]

64. coca-cola

[Reverend_Smitty]

68. Guinness or Sam Adams

it's a toss-up they are both so good in their own ways
