STRONGBOW CIDER

You cider people might like

9/5/2008 4:29:08 PM

^ never heard of it...where is it available locally? and on tap or bottled?

strongbow is the best, hands down, but it's expensive...woodchuck is pretty good...hornsby's only if i'm desperate

9/5/2008 4:30:21 PM

I got it bottled at Total Wine because they were giving samples. I only had the pear version, but it was good. I want to try the others. I do love Strongbow if that tells you anything, and I agree with your rankings. Original Sin is good too, at least if I'm remembering correctly.

[Edited on September 5, 2008 at 4:33 PM. Reason : now I want some, but I don't have any cider left at home ]

9/5/2008 4:33:53 PM

... and bring me a bottle because of the recommendation?

9/5/2008 4:34:52 PM

9/5/2008 4:35:15 PM

I saw a guy vomiting cider on the sidewalk during the middle of the day in Manchester

hope that makes you want it more

For the ACE stuff, go to World Market. They have it there, along with a lot of other interesting beers. They also sell singles for $1.89/each.


Here is my current collection for taste-testing (thanks to a trip to Sam's in Durham):



I've tried the Nut Brown Ale on the left... wasn't impressed. I'd give it a 6. I also tried Newcastle and liked it a lot. ON TO THE NEXT!!11

I like the Duck-Rabbit Milk Stout and the Red Fox from Fox & Hound.

9/6/2008 1:48:49 PM

Duck Rabbit
Bud Light Lime
Corona
German lagers are good
Sam Adams Oktoberfest
Killians Irish Red

Skwinkle...i went to TW and, apparently, the only thing they carry is the pear...i'm not a huge fan of pear cider (woodchuck's, at least)...i didn't get any ($10/6-pack ain't cheap for something i likely won't enjoy)

[Edited on September 6, 2008 at 2:59 PM. Reason : there'll be a bottle with your name on it if i pick up another flavor ]

9/6/2008 2:58:58 PM

^^^ What's wrong with Newcastle?

About the ACE, World Market has ALL the flavors available.

9/6/2008 3:31:20 PM

You don't like it?

9/7/2008 3:21:58 PM

J00se!

9/7/2008 3:25:43 PM

Cheap: Bud Select
Rolling Rock

Good: Chimay Ale
Kingfisher
Killian's

9/7/2008 3:30:40 PM

I really like Bud, Miller light , some beer i had a mitches once...carolina (something-something) and blue moon with a big wedge of orange in it because i'm gay or something

9/7/2008 3:37:13 PM

I tried the Nocturnum tonight... good stuff!

9/7/2008 10:37:23 PM

I like Tremens better than Nocturnum.

I stole some Celis White from the microwbrew of the month club I got for my bf tonight ... pretty good.

Magic Hat No. 9

9/7/2008 10:52:22 PM

Killians and Blue moon are both cheap beers made by American brewers although killians is ok it is by no means a good beer in snob terms.


Was in Tennessee last weekend and went crazy in the beer store. Not sure what all I got but Japan makes a good beer and the Philippines cannot.

9/7/2008 10:58:01 PM

obscurity does not a good beer make

9/7/2008 10:59:17 PM

Tried the Sunset Wheat... it actually does taste like Fruity Pebbles beer. Interesting.

9/8/2008 7:43:08 PM

PBR
Unibroue Maudite

pretty much anything Unibroue, actually

9/8/2008 7:48:57 PM

guiness, dur
slightly cool

9/8/2008 7:52:17 PM

for what? getting drunk for cheap? pbr or coors light

other: magic hat no. 9, highland gaelic ale, i enjoy lots of beers.

9/8/2008 7:56:30 PM

i am so glad sam adams oktoberfest is back

9/8/2008 8:22:26 PM

Tried the Chimay Grand Reserve (Blue). Damn, that was some tasty stuff. I think I have a new favorite.

9/10/2008 5:40:30 AM

Had Sam Adams Oktoberfest the other day for the first time, and that is some hella good shit.

9/10/2008 9:41:20 AM

I have discovered entirely too many things I want to try from browsing http://bobwoodshed.org/beer/

9/10/2008 9:50:21 AM

i don't have a favorite beer i don't think, but Sam Adams Oktoberfest is damn good.

9/10/2008 10:12:48 AM

i would bathe in chimay if it wasn't so expensive

9/10/2008 10:39:53 AM

Heifenweizen with Lemon

Not saying Newcastle isn't bad (although not the biggest fan myself)...but I doubt you'd find too many people that would say it's better than a Sammy Smith Nut Brown Ale. I've had a less than stellar Sammy Smith yet...and although I'm not particularly fond of Brown Ales...I find the Sammy Smith one very delicious.

9/10/2008 1:01:15 PM

Guinness and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

Suppose to say "never had a less than stellar Sammy Smith yet." My bad.

actually, my better half wanted me to get some strongbow because she liked it, and i can't find it anywhere around here. help?

9/10/2008 2:49:45 PM

Oskar Blues Gordon Ale
Dogfish Head 90-minute IPA
Lagunitas Brown Shugga
Lagunitas Cappucino Stout
Avery Maharaja IPA
Bell's Two-hearted Ale

Has anyone tried Dogfish Head 120-minute IPA? I'm dying to try it again, but it's fairly pricey here. $20 at the only bar the serves it around here (Cape Canaveral, FL).

While I'm glad I tried it once, it's definitely not something I would buy regularly if it were available here, it's way too sweet for my tastes.

Only one week till Stone is available in NC!!

9/10/2008 3:07:16 PM

it's sweet? the 90-minute is the most bitter beer i've ever tried

at least for $20 its 20% alcohol so you get 1% for every dollar
