OT: Absolute Favorite Bottled Beer?

Submitted by Togaroga on

On the cusp of another St. Patty's Day filled with drunken debauchery...or, more accurately, workplace drudgery with no hint of inebriation, I was thinking about what is my absolute favorite beer.

I've been drinking Sam Adams almost exclusively. I went through an IPA and Rye-PA kick last fall, but I'm into mellower and crisper (word?) brews right now.

I know my vote right now would be for Sam Adams Black Lager.

But, I know what you're talking about. I used to work for Belgians. Every Belgian beer - not just each brewery - has its own glass. Its impressive, considering that such a small country has hundreds of beers.

I have a Franziskaner glass that I brought home from Oktoberfest a couple years ago. Of the many German Hefeweizen that exist, this one ranks at least in the top 3 for me (Paulaner and Schneider are probably the other two).

Franziskaner is also the beer of choice at the annual German Park fest that takes place 3 times each summer north of Ann Arbor. I'm already counting the days...

That beer is simply flawless. It isn't as magically delicious as some of Sam's other offerings, but it is scientifically proven to be flawless. I don't remember the research method, but it is conclusive, trust me.

I would also highly recommend Sam's Boston Ale. It is similarly flawless but bolder and bigger, on account of it being an ale.

Gulp-tastic!!

Mainstream beer... Heineken Light... it just goes down smoothly.

I also like ice cold Sol too. I'd throw Leffe blond, or others, but I typically like them off the tap better.
