Craft Beer

[CalPolyTechnique]

I'm a big craft beer guy and thought I'd start a thread for likeminded folk.

Gimmie your Top 3 currently (and your favorite session beer).

1. Blind Pig IPA by Russian River Brewing Co.
2. Pillbox Porter by Lanikai Brewing Co.
3. Passion Fruit Shipwrecked Double IPA - Mission Brewery

*Session Beer: Firestone Double Barrel Ale

*I consider a "session" beer anything that has an ABV of ~5%

You are entitled to your opinion but IMO that is 100% not true.

I haven't had a single craft beer that didn't suck and get dumped down the drain.

Buds the best filtered water on the market.

I'm on a red ale kick right now. I gotta give that one a shot.

Your opinion is factually wrong.

If that is the case then you have not had a good craft beer. I live in the land of awesome craft and micro brews, PACNW. There are too many awesome beers to name.

It crushes any craft beer in the market and it's not filtered water. You are thinking of Coors lite.

How's it wrong?

Lol, no, no, I've had a ton of Budweiser in my life. It's barely beer flavored water as is Natty Lite, Coors/Lite, Miller, et cetera.

Trust me, I'm not knocking Bud. If you stuck a sixer in front of me right now I'd drink it, but not because it's great tasting.

I'm teasing you.

Bud? hehe No way. Not to mention, Anheuser Busch uses way too much formaldehyde in their beer. I can't drink their products because it gives me headaches because of their high content of formaldehyde.

As for Heineken. I can't stand it or any beer like it. (Rolling Rock, Molsen, etc) That style/flavor of beer tastes skunky. Nasty stuff.

My favorite beers are Negra Modelo, Modelo Especial, Shiner, Stella Artois, Magic Hat and similar beers.

It's a cardinal sin to put fruit in beer. Beer isn't supposed to be fruity. That's girly beer. (no, I do not put fruit in Tecate, I prefer not to ruin it)

I tend to agree, all that pumpkin spice, oatmeal stout, drinking liquified bread doesn't do it for me. If I mow the lawn or out fishing, i want something light and crisp.
