DU beer check. My favorite is Okanagan Spring Lager brewed

[ohiosmith]

in beautiful Vernon, British Columbia.

[TXlib]

1. I brewed 15 gallons of beer this weekend

5 of british bitter, 5 of belgian dubbel, and 5 of bavarian hefeweizen.

Yum!

[mac56]

9. You've inspired me, TXlib

I gotta make a batch.

[TXlib]

23. I've also got 21 gallons of mead going.

And I'm ordering a 5-gallon pail of tupelo honey to make 15-20 gallons more.

[TXlib]

25. And all three were all-grain recipes!

[mac56]

28. You, my friend, are my new hero.

I'm still a lowly partial-grain-and-malt-extract brewer.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

2. Malzbier by Brahma (Brazilian)

Dark 'n' sweet

[Kellanved]

13. interesting

It is alcoholic? I find this interesting, as "Malzbier" usually (in Germany and the Netherlands) is non-alcoholic, a traditional type of beer-related soft drink.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

16. Yep it is -- site says 3.7%

A bit less than their regular beer (which is 5%) but alcoholic, yes.

[JVS]

30. How is Karamalz consumed?

What is the idea of this? The only person I knew who drank it was my landlord who used to add it to generic beers for "more flavor"

[Kellanved]

36. by 10-year olds (of all ages)

It's a "pop" , plain and simple. Karamalz and all the others ( most major brewers and some minor have a "Malzbier") are beer for children. The newer marketing ploys, like added lime, are just to keep it "hip".
When the adults get their beer, so do the kids.

OK, even I drink some "Malzbier" sometimes and I like it a lot better than most soft drinks. However, I much prefer the Dutch style, which is a lot more malty in flavor, blond and not sweet.

[JVS]

37. I tried it. It was bad

[Kellanved]

38. depends on what you expect

For me it's a childhood memory, nothing I would label "good". As a beer it is beyond horrible: sickly sweet.

[CPschem]

3. Anderson Valley Hop Ottin' IPA

so good.... so hoppy... kicks my arse.

[LiviaOlivia]

8. Anderson Valley!!!!

I just ordered 2 cases of their spring wheat beer. I can't remember
the name of it so I'm trusting my neighborhood Korean grocer(he's great).

[CPschem]

14. haven't tried their spring wheat yet..

but if it's as good as their other beers then you're all set! enjoy!

[LiviaOlivia]

19. Anderson Valley is Best of the West

Hands down. The ales are excellent. High Rollers wheat.

Anderson Valley is out of Boonesville, Ca

[CPschem]

20. Agreed. Glad they found their way east.

the ipa and pale ale are superb. i need to stop this.. i'm getting thirsty.

[LiviaOlivia]

24. You callin' me an Easterner?

Born and raised west of the Rockies my friend..I ain't no flatlander.

[phantom power]

4. Stone IPA

Cuz you can't have too many IBUs...

Dogfish Head's IPA is also awesome. A bit lighter on the hops, brings out some other flavors. Their Raison D'Etre is also very cool.

[Mr. McD]

Great Belgian beer.

[On the Road]

17. Another Vote for Stella

Although some of those Belgian framboises beer are absolutely luscious, however unbeerlike they may be.

[JVS]

[blindpig]

31. not fair! too hard!

gods, I love beer!(1 hr 45 min & counting)Spaten Oktoberfest(Marzen) is a favorite, as is their Optimator. Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine is too tasty to stomp your ass like that. EKU 28, I miss you so....I could go on but I'm getting thristy.

[Nlighten1]

32. Blue Moon

[m-jean03]

39. Guinness...accept no substitutes.

[HydroAddict]

40. Call me a wus...I don't care...

Corona Light with a lime! mmmm....think I'll go get one.

[analogman]

41. My British neighbor once told me that American beer is like sex in a boat

"Fucking close to water"

[President Jesus]

43. 15 years ago he would have been right

but seriously, starting in the 90s, we Americans have been brewing some kick-ass beer, and any honest European who's been here will tell you that.

We got nuthin' to be ashamed of anymore...well, except the obvious...but that will clear up nicely in 8 months :)

[President Jesus]

42. lately it's been Harpoon IPA

yee haw that's good...and it just broke into NYC market!!!

[BrewerJohn]

44. Right now I'm going with the old trusty Sierra Nevada

Pale Ale. Tomorrow it will probably be something different though.
In fact, tomorrow I'm hosting the annual spring potluck of our local homebrewing club. I have some Duinen Dubbel, Trappistes Rochefort and Traquair House Ale tucked away for that.
