My SIL got Me into craft beers, Mannys summer ale in Seattle,WA, White UFO and Blue moon are my favorites. Having a Blue right now...

Bourbon barrel aged... anything, Nut Brown to stouts. I'll drink it... Just came back from two breweries that are a mile from home.

Since we're getting into warm weather, my choice for a refreshing beer is Leinenkugel Summer Shandy. Just the right amount of citrus, not too much fruit like a lot of the flavored beers.

My nemesis- if I wanted to drink whiskey, I' d buy whisky, and since a really bad night my freshman year of college in Kentucky, drinking their signature bourbons to serious excess, I jave been unable to stomach anything that has a whiskey or bourbon character without booting immediately.

Guinness has to be frosty cold or a person can't stand to chew and swallow the stuff.

= blasphemy

You'll never get a refrigerator chilled Guinness stout or any other stout in Ireland or GB. Drink them at "cellar" temp which is about 55F.

Stout/porter is not something to chug down quickly to quench thirst, that's what chilled lagers are for. Stouts are wonderful for sipping. Drink them like red wine or even good whiskey.

A really good summer seasonal beer is Abita strawberry lager, it has the perfect amount of strawberry taste, my usual beer is natural light in a can, bottled beer can get skunky when exposed to sunlight even for just a few minutes.

I know the sunlight is supposed to be bad for the beer, but I'll chance it. Natural Light was a favorite of mine for some years, but no matter what beer, or what soda pop, or even V-8 or other juice, I don't like drinking it from a can anymore when I can either pour it into a glass, or preferably buy it in a bottle to start with. So anytime I buy any drink in a can, it's only because I couldn't find it in a bottle.

Strawberry? What's with all this orange, lemon and fruit business anyway? Beer is supposed to taste like beer, not kool aid or fruit punch. Verboten in the fatherland for sure.

It does taste like beer, very good beer.
