The Beer Thread

I can't stand cherry beers. I just don't think the 2 flavors work together. Young's does taste a bit of chocolate. Chocolate goes well with alcohol/ though. Coffee, caramel, and chocolate work really well in stouts. It is a little sweet, but nothing like a cherry beer. Don't forget that chocolate is not sweet. The beer does have a little sweetness to it, but it is not some overly sugared drink.

I've had a cherry wheat and raspberry wheat. They taste too much like cough syrup.

Breckenridge Brewery Vanilla Porter is delicious. Now i moved on to the Brau Brothers sampler i picked up at Discount Drinks in Wyandotte, man i love that place.

I love vanilla in general. I may try one. What's a really good one? I heard Vanilla Cream Porter. Is that a a Sam Adams?

I've come full circle. I'm drinking light beer now. Got sick of packing on the pounds drinking ipa's. Now I just drink them on special occasions, like saturdays.

Funny but I can see that happening but I've noticed that since I don't drink much beer, when I do I want it to be something flavorful. I tend toward Oberon when available or something like Two-Hearted. I have a really bad mold and yeast allergy. I once had a Hakker Pschorr (spelling is way the fukc off) and it was really tasty but I sneezed for like 2 days and my eyes watered as if I'd washed my face with cat hair. Light beers taste too watery to me now. But like I said, I drink maybe 3 beers when I'm out. If I'm not driving and hanging at a neighborhood party or the patio I might do a 6 pack.

I have never had a cherry beer that was even drinkable. Dark Horse has raspberry beer that is pretty decent that my wife likes. Their blueberry stout is pretty decent as well.

Shock Top Pumpkin Wheat is the best ****ing fall time beer I've ever had.

its a personal preference, but I like quite a few cherry beers

New Holland has a nice pumpkin ale. Also, I think their Zoomer Wit is better than Oberon.

Try Mackinaw Brewing Company's Cherry Heritage Lager. I liked that one quite a bit and it didn't really taste as cough syrupy as say Cherry Wheat from Sam Adams. That's not to say I don't like Cherry Wheat, because I do, but I can get where people are coming from when they say it has a cough syrup taste.

Bought a sixer of Shorts Pandamonium Pale Ale last night for the game. Did not like. It tastes very "earthy", almost like there was a hint of tomatoe or something in it. Not very good IMO.

I also tried the New Holland Ichabod Pumpkin Ale last week... it was decent, not spectacular, not bad... just average.
