Just looking for a new beer to drink. I used to drink Stella Artois and Peroni a lot, but they have become too light for me. I really have been liking Sling Shot lately.

weird, I had a sling shot last night. first time, not bad.

I like Hoeegarden and another one I enjoy is Hitachnio White Ale
 
Anything by Ninkasi Brewery in Eugene, especially their Double Believer Red. You have to like hoppy beers though. The Abyss by Deschutes is about as good of a Stout as you will find.

I agree with ppilot, Ninkasi makes some great beer.

If I had to choose one, it would be McMennamins Hammerhead. But others I like are Rogue Dead Guy, Full Sail Amber, Bridgeport IPA, Cascade Lakes Rooster Tail Ale, Bridgeport Ebenezer Ale, etc etc etc. Actually, there arent many NW micro brews that I dont like. :cheers:

When camping, I enjoy some good ol PBR!

You going to the international Beerfest this weekend? I enjoy it a lot more than the zoo that has become the Portland Beerfest.

I'll probably go on Saturday.

Portland Beerfest has become a zoo. I try to go early on Friday to avoid the long lines.
 
Damn, that's a tough question. That's like asking me my favorite pizza. So, my first answer is "yes". However, if I had to choose by type. here goes:

Pilsner: Pilsner Urquell
German-style lager: Spaten
Belgian-style ale: Duvel Trippel
IPA: Bridgeport
Porter: Black Butte
Stout: Guiness (better at St. James Gate)
Imperial Stout: Goose Island Bourbon County
Brown Ale: Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale

There are many others I love, but that's just off the top of my head.

^^Not familiar with many of those, but I'm not a huge beer fan. Is Mirror Pond better than Ram Porter? Sam Smith's better than Newcastle?

Mirror Pond is Deschutes' Pale Ale. Black Butte is their porter. I rectified that mistake above. And I think BB is much better than Ram. As for the difference between SSNB and Newcastle, they're very close.
 
There is this one beer at Rheinlanders... I cannot remember what it is called. I think Hefewiez (no not hefewiezen) and it is SO freaking good. It tastes like banana necco candy.
 
Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA.

I really love IPA's.

Stone Brewing IPA is very tasty... so is Lagunitus. Boulder Brewing makes Hazed and Infused which was amazing in some batches at Old Chicago... then they changed the recipe or something because other times it wasn't nearly as good. Boulder also makes Mojo which I like too.

The had a beer at the McMenemin's Road House mini beer fest last weekend that was like a Porter-IPA... it was a dark IPA with the hoppy goodness... never had anything else like that but it was good.

For Christmas beers I like Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale... though from year to year different batches of the others can be tasty too. Oh heck all the Christmas beers make you happy.

Oregon is a great place for beer. I was in the military traveling around when McMenemin's sprung up. Prior to that we were sorely missing something... and it seemed those types of establishments really took off here first. Now... will not say McMenemin's are all that... but they opened the door for many other places that are. In fact... this thread has convinced me to take the family to the Roadhouse again tonight. =)
 
BTW... the brewers dinner before the Oregon brewfest used to be good... but then one year it kind of sucked and I didn't go again. It used to be an annual trek to the brewfest for me and my friends from wherever they are... but now we've all drifted in other directions.
 
Appletini hold the tini ;)
 
Some excellent selections. Pilsner Urquel is infinitely better if you happen to buy it in the Czech Republic (turns out they make great beer not just churn out porn stars). I actually love their Budvar as well they have a "strong" one that is something crazy like 12% or whatever the max is for beer before it's a barley wine.

There's also a beer I like that reminds me of the PG I want us to go after:

Coors Light in the bottle. If I drank anything heavier than that, I'd weigh 400 lbs. instead of only 300.
 
Widmer Hefeweizen is my all time favorite, I always have some in the fridge. The wife loves Blue Moon but I prefer Hoegaarden if I feel like a white Ale. Bridgeport IPA is my favorite IPA that is sold across the country, but my local Rock Bottom has a IPA that is by far my favourite (Desert Trail Pale Ale). I'm flying up to Portland next Tuesday to visit with family and friends and a trip to the Portland Brew Fest is on my itinerary, I'm going to go Thursday during the day, to minimize the amount of traffic.
 
Mac and Jacks....you can only find it on tap and it comes out of Redmond WA. Got hooked on it in college and it remains my favorite, but that is probably cause you can't find it everywhere.

other than that, widmer hef and drop top are very good. and every once in awhile i have to go back to the college days and drink PBR or Busch Light.

I feel that we'd get along given our similar taste in television shows.

lol I'm glad somebody got it.. even though I messed up. I should have said "Easy on the Tini" Repped for getting it though!
 
I'm a big IPA fan. I like Bridgeport's IPA, Ninkasi, Hopworks, I coudl go on, but, I'll start to crave a beer, and it's not even 9, so I'll stop.

Have recently started brewing my own beer, focusing primarily on IPA's, since it is what me and my friend like the most. So far, the three IPA variations we have made have all come out tasting really good. A lot of our friends aren't big IPA fans, because of the bitterness involved, but they have really liked all of our's. We've managed to pack in all that hop flavor we love, and seem to be able to avoid a lot of the bitterness. At least so far. Call it dumb luck.

Calling Widmer's product "Hefeweizen" is like calling ketchup "Marinara Sauce."
