Beer - the liquid of the gods (best, bottle, coffee)

[sheena12]

I love beer. On a hot summer night like, say tonight? Beer. So good. I really learned a lot at college and beer drinking has proven to be a real favorite.

Oh, yeah! Ha ha, I really learned how to drink bier when I lived in Germany.

I sat on the porch tonight, symphony from the crickets and cicada's, sipping a cool beer.

Beer is good anytime of the year. A nice pilsner or hefeweizen in the hot summer months, a brown ale or fresh hop ale to usher in the autumn, a spicy Christmas ale for the holidays, an imperial stout or barleywine to keep you warm in the dead of winter, and a tart white ale/Belgian wheat to welcome spring. Or a hoppy IPA, which is great anytime.

I hated beer until I went to Hungary earlier this year and got stuck into the European stuff. Also helps that alot of beers cost less than $1 for a 500ml can Going there with Australian dollars I was living like a bloody king

Heineken and Steffl are nice, but unfortunately you can't get Steffl in Australia.

Also trying out some Stout. At first I was not enthused but the coffee-like flavour is beginning to grow on me. It depends on the brand I guess.

Beer is great year-round, but at it's best in summer, IMO.

if beer didn't cause the exponential growth of manboobs and beer gut, it would be the liquid of the gods indeed .

I'd stick with scotch.

When I was but a wee lad, my Dad would send me to the fridge to get him a can of PBR. Id always open it up and take a couple drinks before handing it to him. He'd always tell me to not do it, but would I listen? Noooo. Anyway, fast forward about 15 years or so and I found myself liking beer but not loving it or thinking of it as a "deliciously refreshing drink". First and only time I ever thought of beer as that was when I was in Army Basic and we got a 2 week leave for Christmas. I stopped in at a restaurant and had a mug of Budweiser (draft). It was the most delicious thing Id ever had in my life. Of course, it couldve just been that I really needed a drink. I dont know, but since then I have not be able to recreate that moment of bliss or euphoria or whatever you wanna call it not even during sex. Alas, it doesnt really matter now as I have a bad case of acid reflux and cant take a sip of beer without it giving me hours of pain and discomfort. That and after years of not drinking, a half bottle of beer gets me buzzing. So I just dont drink anymore.

I too like beer. All year long. I like best the beer I brew myself.

I didn't sit on the porch (too hot), but I did sip a cool one.

My friend made some hefeweizen that was so good he had people offer to pay him to make more. I tried some Christmas ale, but did not like spices. Don't like stouts or IPA, but Belgian wheat is one of my favorites.

Beer is indeed great year round. Octoberfest is one of my favorites.

I don't care for PBR or Budweiser. I often choose beers from Sam Adams, Saranac, Blue Moon, Sea Dog, Shipyard, and Shock Top.

The Tom T. Hall song brings back old memories.

I'm going to need a couple after my long day out in the jungle.
