Actual good beer thread

How bout a GOOD WINE thread? I'm a bit of a wine-o.

I'm afraid to become a wine snob, because as Modern Drunkard Magazine puts it:

FKR said:
Beer snobbery is less dangerous.
While wine snobs have been around long enough to be nearly universally despised and even hunted for sport in certain parts of the South, beer snobs are so new they’re considered by the general public to be as harmless as those people who carve elaborate sculptures out of Spamâ€"someone to be viewed more with bemusement than with the scope of a high-powered rifle.

My wife likes a local brew called Tuckaleechee very dark along with the Samuel Adams listed already Yuengling. My favorite beer is cold and free. But she calls me a puss because I always buy Bud light.
 
Yuengling

Yuengling probably has the best taste/$ ratio of any beer I've had. I tried to find some in Chicago last year but the guy at the store said they don't sell it West of Ohio. I like to Smokey and the Bandit a case or two back whenever I'm far enough East.
 
PG sorry to hear you can't get Yuengling, It's one of the few I will drink with the wife. How about Guinness that's another one She will drink.
I must have messed up my taste buds in College, use to buy a 40oz of something good then a milk jug full of Sterling Light draft it cost $1.00 or $1.50 with out a milk jug.
 
Last night I bounced through McNellie's in the course of the evening and got the She's Crafty flight. "Flights" are about $10 and they bring you a tray of 5 double glasses with different beers in them.

Beers were as follows:

North Coast Scrimshaw Pilsner: it was OK, didn't have much flavor though
Big Sky Moose Drool: Awesome, but it has a slightly thick viscosity that actually feels like drool. If you can keep that from bothering you it's really good.
Tallgrass 8-Bit Pale Ale: we've been over this. I used it as a palette cleanser.
Ommegang Abbey Ale: I'm not good with beer terminology, but this is one of those ales that tastes like apple cider and banana. Didn't care for it.
Left Hand Milk Stout: this was my favorite beer for a long time. I still really like it.

Before that, I had Marshall Brewing Co's Big Jamoke Porter with dinner and I liked that a lot too.

I also had a liter of Spaten Lager at Fassler Hall, which is a pretty good generic German lager. Spaten's Oktoberfest and Optimator are also both pretty good.
 
Took the family to Yamato Hibachi this evening.
Gave the keys to the wife & ordered up several (large) Sapporros.......good stuff.
Damn, hibachi is expensive.

Oh Yeah! The last time the wife and I went to the Hibachi place in Stillwater, I had to roll a hundred dollar bill out of the wallet.
I'm a sushi addict, and after 4 rounds plus some hot saki, and the meal we left a whole lot lighter in the wallet.
Since then I've found the little place on the other side of town that has a 15 count plate of Sashimi and Sushi for 1/3 that. I love that stuff.
 
Oh the beers we can't get in Oklahoma.



I'm going to Chicago for Christmas and I'm coming back with a couple boxes of Goose Island.



I used it to make some ghetto pad thai today with ramen noodles and sriracha. elephant dung was awesome.

Goose Islands Matilda is one of my favorites!!
 
Here are a few good ones I've tried recently:

Bellhaven Scottish Stout - tasted like beef jerky in a glass!
Left Hand Brewing Black Jack Porter
Left Hand Brewing Fade to Black
Left Hand Brewing Milk Stout - not as good as Young's double choc. Stout, but tasty
Marshall Sundown Wheat
Marshall Big Jamoke Porter

The Bellhaven, Fade to Black, and Jamoke were the best of the bunch. :D
