Colt .45?!?!?!?
Even when I was 16 I was able to recognize that stuff as swill. I prefered the Bull at the time, but Mickey's and King Cobra would also do. The best thing about the Bull is getting all that glitter on your hands as you peel off the label in a drunken stupor.

Bell's is, I think, one of America's best breweries. I am only fortunate enough to drink their beer if a buddy or I get near Chicago and bring bottles back, which is very very rare. Great, great beers. You lucky sod.

this will be printed for the bride to read. lately she has been buying "free range" grocery items. i have mentioned bottles of beer or scotch are not caged during their maturing processes; didn't impress her.

JasonG,
Thanks for the tip on the Paulaner Salvator. I bought the last 3 bottles from the store I went to last night. I cracked one open as soon as I got home and enjoyed every last drop -- minus the ones my wife nabbed.

By the way Tom,
Took your advice and tried the Lindeman's Framboise - fantastic!

BTW, I much prefer the Framboise to the Peche. The Peche was a little too sweet for me.

I'm glad you liked it... Paulaner's Oktoberfest and Hefe-Weizen are both good examples of their respective styles as well.
I had the opportunity to try Sierra Nevada's Bigfoot Ale tonight for the first time. I took one sip and broke into laughter. According to the label it is 9.6% alcohol, and according to my mouth the other 90.4% is hops extract. It's tasty, but ridiculously exaggerated. Sierra Nevada claims that it rates ninety bitterness units (IBUs); by comparison, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale has 37, and Budweiser is in the neighborhood of 15. I'm glad it's finally available in Ohio.

C'mon guys, Shiner Bock. No discussion needed. It's the best beer you can find. For Valentines they made it with Chocolate @ $12 a bottle (32oz i think)
