Re: At the end of the day, what\'s your brew?
That is sooooo tough of a question!
When I am in the mood to brew, usually a nice pale or brown ale. I aint brewed in a long time though...
Otherwise, depends on the day. There is such a selection of brew available here. Microbrew selection is great. There's a few breweries in the area. I do tend towards a nice wheat, or move to a brown ale or stout. I do like things like Widmer Hefe better than the spicy/clovey German styles....
Don't go much for American Rice beer(Bud) or Corn beer(Coors). Bud advertises the best grains, yeast, and water(Oh, they have a specail hop in a sealed contianer that they wave over thier beer too). They don't say that they use lots of Rice as part of the grains. It is cheaper than barley, and has a good sugar content, hence alchohol in the end.
Coors does the same. They use a lot of corn in thier beer. They do it because it is cheap, and has lots of sugar(again, makes alchohol, keeps body light).
Ever note that Bud is the King of beers? But, it never got the beer of Kings? Budvar has that title in Europe, and has for years. Budwieser has been trying to leverage them out of that for years now.
If I had to grab something quickly from the shelf, probably be a Sierra Nevada Pale. Great local(90 miles away) micro brewery success story.
