Best beer

thanks, marty. since we're logrolling here, i agree with you wholeheartedly on the hop/malt balance thing--the trap i think many of these young gun microbrewers fall into is overamping the hops and/or alcohol to give their potions more "character"--the net effect is that they alienate a lot of potential acolytes, whose taste buds just aren't that acclimated to extremes--sorta like a green day fan being exposed to death metal. to which end, i just quaffed at gordon bierch--while i generally eschew all things franchised or cloned, i gotta say their beer is very good--it's accessible without being cloying. damn good brisket, too.

Aventinus

Anyone remember Andeker? Brewed by PBR from 1972 through the mid 80's. My favorite beer during the mid 70's. PBR's Michelob.. same price, but I though it was much better. Wish they'd bring it back.

Guiness stout and Heineken satisfy me still ;-)
