I'm with you Trouty. I don't drink when I work and that's about it. Started with the seedy London club scene back in the day and haven't stopped since.

Dude, your old Taylor Swift avatar was amazing! I just wanted to tell you that. Your posts often make me laugh out loud, also want to tell you that :)

You have a beautiful sense of humor, Dr. Chicken! We're very fortunate to have you on this fansite. :)
 
Trouty.

Tomorrow is Sunday and I have $250 parlays as you can see from another thread that I started. I am your typical Coors Light, Bud Light, Heineken Light guy. In your honor, I will get a 6 pack of something that is your favorite.

I want at least 6% alcohol content and easy drinkability. As you know I am a light beer guy.

Thanks in advance for suggestions.

Rather than get a six pack try 6 different beers? Try and get a porter, an IPA, a red ale, a lager, a wheatbeer and a bitter if you can. If you're used to light beers you probably won't like them all but you'll have 6 totally different beers and if you like half of them then you can start experimenting with different porters, IPAs or whatever you liked

Easy Shunpike, my all-time favorite, hands down beer, that is light yet full bodied -- Weihenstephaner. Both the regular (world class lager) and Hef are absolutely incredible. The regular is a robust 5.1, and the hef is 5.3 abv. They are great "sipping" beers and should be drunken out of a pint glass to open the aroma, proteins, and taste (tho, I should take my own advice, I always just drink them out of the bottle, now).

They aren't your 6.0 that you requested. If you want a higher abv beer, go with Stone Brewery IPA (6.9) or Skulpin IPA (7.0). Both are hoppy IPA's but are incredibly well made, notes of citrus and mango but forward taste of pine -- which usually sets people off of the IPA love fest if they aren't used to it. A six'er of either of these two will have you drunk if you don't have a tolerance, especially the Sculpin, so if you're not looking to get that high, I would go with the beers I mentioned in the first paragraph. These two beers also need to be drunken out of a pint glass (tho, I also never do).

I live in Cali, and the two listed in the second paragraph are locally brewed but very popular across the globe. The two in the first paragraph are German imports and should be able to be found at any shop that specializes in craft brew.

Good luck @Shunpike

This is also a great idea @Shunpike, if you're looking to becoming a connoisseur :)
 
Too late for this week @Trouty and @daschoo . But I will be listening to your advice next two weeks. Today it is Bud Light for me. I will watch Dallas game sober with my son who is a Cowboys fan. Then by 4:30PM, I will start drinkingmy Bud Lights and be ready for Giants-Packers game. Should be a good game. Good luck to both of you today along with my son.

Thank you, Shun. I'm not a beer snob, you can never go wrong with a good, light American lager like Bud Light (and great price).

That Giants/Packers game will be a doozy! Wonder if ARod shows up and excited to see how OBJ rebounds.

Godspeed brother, enjoy your Sunday with the lil guy :)
