My favorites in the USA:

Firestone Double Barrel Ale

Anderson Valley Boont Amber Ale

Budweiser Budvar (or as its known in the USA "Czechvar")

Pacifico Clara for Cinco de Mayo

Yuengling Lager for a cheap pitcher

Taj Mahal with a Curry

The "Best Bitter" at my local brew pub when its on.

Worst beers: Anything imported from the UK with the exception of Theakstons Old Peculiar. Top of the list of #######: Bass Ale, which is something you can only get in America and tastes terrible. Any type of Dos Equis.

Really? It's not available anywhere else?

According to mr. beer dude...

My Question is: Hello Mr. Deer Dude-What are your thoughts on Bass Ale? I don't really know much about it and would like to hear what you think. Thanks!

Answer: Bass Ale is a lightly hoped pale ale with a soft, flowery, and nutty character. It's not overly aromatic or bitter. Bass Ale has been around for some time. The Bass Ale Red Triangle was the first registered trademark (1883) in England and possibly the world. Bass Ale is British-style pale ale and is brewed by one of the largest breweries in England, Bass Brewers Ltd., which was founded in 1777. The first recorded import of Bass Ale to America was in 1799. The US import version is slightly stronger in alcohol then its English counter part.

I read LHA's response as it's ####### HERE.

He's English, I think he'd know it was there

If anyone knows where to get Tennants Lager in or near Pennsylvania, give us (me or Oath) a shout I've called all over the state and can't find a drop of that yummy floor cleaner in a big yellow can!

I don't doubt that. I'm curious why it tastes bad here though...or even why the alcohol content is higher. I'm wondering if it's a marketing issue or they have a different division for exports to US.

Not in the form you get it in the USA.

Bass you get on tap in the UK (its just called Bass, not Bass Ale) is a totally different beer to Bass Ale in the USA, which is more of an IPA than a regular bitter. The reason for this is that British Beer does not travel, IPA is a super hopped up version of British Beer which is much more robust and travels much better, however it does not taste the same.

Perhaps they sell Bass IPA in the UK, and its close to Bass Ale in the USA, but regular Bass is totally different. That said, Bass is a substandard pint in the UK and the USA version I find just rank. IMHO of course.

Nope. I think you'll have to take a trip up to Canada to get some!

Now you've got me curious to try Bass in the UK. Maybe my tastebuds are all screwy but over the years, I've always been impressed with it's flavor compared to other beers out there (certainly better IMO than Newcastle).

San Miguel is one of my favorites.

[Lewis 0]

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

Harp

Dos Equis

Love trying microbrews from the US, there are too many to list.

I used to do the homebrew thing, but have not made any for a couple of years.

[Jenn! 918]

Miller Highlife - the champagne of beers, of course.

[doodlebug 3]

I don't drink anymore........

but when I did :energetic: ..... I used to go to Boston Beer Works which has a site near my town and get it fresh from the tap. They'd bottle it for me and I'd take it home and drink it if I wasn't hanging out at the bar with my friends.

My favorites were:

in the Winter/Fall -

Winterworks Holiday Ale

A Beer Works Classic! Rich and strong, this tawny red ale is brewed with vanilla bean, cinnamon, and orange peel to give it a decadently sweet flavor, in combination with its warming alcohol undertones.

Season: winter Color: amber Alc./Vol: 7.0%

Pumpkinhead Ale

A Beer Works Favorite! Pumpkin is added to the mash tun and kettle to give this beer its unique color and sweet palate. Vanilla, allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg are added to the kettle and during conditioning to produce its wonderfully decadent aroma.

Season: all Color: orange Alc./Vol: 5.0%

And in the Spring/Summer season -

Bunker Hill Bluebeery Ale

A sweet, very light, golden ale made with fresh Maine blueberries to produce a big, blueberry aroma.

Season: all Color: gold Alc./Vol: 4.0%
