Guitars for Real Musicians

Craig · Posted: Sun Dec 27, 2009 8:18 pm Post subject: Beer

Well, it was bound to happen. Any forum with musicians has to have one of these threads, I reckon. I like beer and I'm darn proud of it. I drink what my budget allows at any given moment, so sometimes it's Pabst/Miller/Coors, and sometimes I splurge a bit and get some English, Belgian, or German stuff.

Today I had a bottle of Paulaner Original Munich Lager (German of course!). Seems that the lighter amber German lagers all have a certain "floral" head to them. Good stuff, went down smooth as silk.

Feel free to discuss what you like, one good brew deserves another!

Beer - seldom touch the stuff, but if i do it is usually Michelob. Whiskey, on the other hand, suits me just fine! Particularly 'Old No. 7" - Cheers!

I don't drink beer too often, and when I do it's not to excess, so my opinion is not as informed as some others' may be. But I prefer Guinness; it's got a unique taste, is rich, creamy, and substantial. Plus, it's dark as hell, comes in a pint, and is Irish--doesn't get any cooler than that.

I have a bottle of Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout in the fridge, waiting for the right moment to savor its rich stouty stoutiness... Very Happy

I happen to be lucky enough to have a lot of micro-breweries around me. There is always something new to drink. Very Happy

Living in the Phoenix valley, there is a former micro in Cave Creek (outskirts of the valley) called Crazy Ed's. They used to make their own beer but have farmed it out to a Mexican brewery now. It's called Crazy Ed's Chili Beer and despite how it sounds, it's actually not bad. They put a serrano chile in each bottle and if you like hot stuff, it might be your thing. Like a spicy Corona would be the best way to describe it.

Check out the website; it's got a cheesy yet funny intro.
