Recommend a Good Beer!

[blackboltss]

Never been much of a drinker up until a couple of years ago. I can not find a beer that I enjoy, is it something that you have to have a taste for because it all pretty much taste the same 2 me. I enjoy Crown, margaritas, fireball, and I got some makers mark today and its pretty good. Rum/Whiskey drinks is pretty much what I stick 2. Recommend something that I can find Local please. I am going to Florida next month and I'll pick up yuling (correct spelling?) I hear good things about that.

Winn-Dixie has a make your own 6pack thing so I think I'll try that out before I buy something I don't enjoy.

Andygator, good stuff from Abita.

If I have to drink beer it's a toss up between Fat Tire, Corona Extra and Michelob Ultra. Three very different brews, but those are my go-to when I'm not feeling the usual vodka water mix.

Chimay. I like the blue.

To me nothing beats an ice cold Corona with a lime. Dos Equis is pretty good also. If you're in the nola area, check out World Market. You can make your own 6 pack there too. Rouses also has a good variety of beer.

MILLER LITE!
Please don't put fruit in beer, LOL.

Which Craft in Houma has an extensive selection of beers. Go and tell them what you like and they can help you choose.

Guinness (just one,maybe 2, they're filling), Dos Equis (dark), St Arnolds Lawnmower (especially when hot, like after lawn mowing), and when on draft, good ole Abita Amber!

Corona with a lime cut and stuck off in it, Michelob Ultra, and Budlight if you're tight on money. College had got me stretched a bit thin so Budlight has been my regular go to lately.

This is obviously a recommendation from someone with impeccable taste. I tend to vacillate between the red and blue label...

Chimay is more of a sipping beer, if I want a few beers with a meal, Shiner Bock is a good one. I stay away from Corona, but Modelo and Negro Modelo are pretty good if you are feeling south of the border. Hoegaarden, Leffe, are good choices if your local store has them. A nice Lambic is good every once in a while if you are feeling 'fruity', I like Lindeman's Framboise. The Lindeman's Cherry (Kriek) is good too.

It may come as a shock to people, but I like beer.

I don't know where you're located, but in Metairie there's a store called Dorignacs, and they have a fabulous liquor department. In that department, in the aisle of beer, there are mini-kegs of Warsteiner - "Eine kunigen unter den bieren" Man! If that ain't true! It's a pilsner, and the kegs cost $20, and I keep three or four in my beer-fridge at all times. Its taste is similar in style to Fat Tire, but infinitely better in - "quality". If you get to Metry, drop a sawbuck on Dorignacs, and try this stuff. It really really will make your day.

Whole Foods also has a great 'build your own six pack' section.

No need to continue this thread.
It will only go down hill from here!

 

[Fred_G]

Also, check with the local stores, sometimes they have tastings, sometimes free from one vendor, or an open one you have to pay a little to get in, but usually worth it depending on what they are offering.

The Andygator is not bad, the Abbey Ale is not bad, but Abita has not impressed me with their offerings. But everyone has their own taste.

I usually have Abita Amber or Andygator around just to drink when I want something better than Miller Lite. Usually when I want something good, I go for a stout or IPA. Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout is one of my longtime favorites. Old Engine Oil is another good one.

Really wish we got Dogfish Head here. There are quite a few others my friends in other states have (and not necessarily local stuff to them) that I can't find anywhere. I've been meaning to send one some money to pick me up a sampling.

and it's ON THE SHELF! Found some at a store this weekend and almost lost my mind.
I've ONLY ever seen it in Restaurants

 

[JHenley17]

They started bottling it last fall. Had a very expensive night that I don't remember when they hit the shelves.

Corona or magic # 9

 

[YoungMarine]

Corona is probably one of the worst Mexican beers there is. Mexico tap water might actually taste better. Try a Bohemia or Negra Modelo the next time you're at a Mexican restaurant
