Best (and worst) beers you've ever had

[WarAJEagle 5]

Back Forty Brewery's Kudzu Porter. Very nice.

I'm quite a fan of their Truck Stop Honey, and Lazy Magnolia's Southern Pecan.

Truck Stop Honey is my favorite. Their Naked Pig Pale Ale is good too. Glad to see some Alabama microbreweries making some good brew!

I've had so much good beer lately, I'm kind of at a loss. Most of it was locally brewed stuff. The standouts were Pisgah Pale Ale and Summer Ale and Green Man Brewery ESB in North Carolina. My favorite was Southern Gentlemen by Lazy Magnolia. It was their Southern Pecan beer aged in bourbon barrels...un freakin real good.

Southern Gentleman...I must find thee.

Best: Hopageddon Imperial IPA by Napa Smith Brewery OR 60 Minute IPA from Dogfish Head.

Worst: The skunked case of Heineken that we bought in Dothan while on the way to the beach in 1985. It was so skunked we could not even funnel it. OR a 6-pack of beer we bought in Nashville in 1986 called "Quitting Time Beer". Neither of us could even finish one beer and we decided their company slogan should be "If you drink Quitting Time Beer then it is time to quit drinking."

I had a pack of skunked Corona a while back. Bought it that way. So disappointing to get to the beach and then just take a nice cold swig of awful.

The GOOD: I've been feeling the Snake Handler Double IPA lately.

The BAD: Practically any American domestic

Had Snake Handler on tap at the brewery last year. Awesome beer.

[ToomersRevenge 284]

Had Snakehandler last night, it's good. El Gordo wasn't bad either, just pretty rich.

[Dom1ni0n 51]

Best thing about Snake Handler, you only need 1 or 2 to do the job.

I haven't tried El Gordo yet...isn't that the one that's 13% ABV?

[ToomersRevenge 284]

Yea it was 13.6 or 13.9. Not hoppy at all. It had the flavor of a coffee stout but wasn't really thick like most I've had.

[Dom1ni0n 51]

That doesn't sound too shabby at all. I think I'll try it the next time I visit GP.

[ToomersRevenge 284]

It was very good.

I had some Gulden Draak this weekend. An absolutely amazing beer. It starts off with a bit of a grape fruit flavor, but finished tasting like a rum aged in oak barrels.

[BustemBigBlue 175]

My current favorite is Ballast Point Sculpin IPA. Can't imagine a more perfect IPA

[Dom1ni0n 51]

It was very good.

You were right...it was just as you described. Different...a tad bit on the rich side, but overall, I enjoyed it!

I love this beer.

Mt Takhoma Blonde Ale

[AuburnSoldier 117]

Lagunitas IPA is really good. Has just enough malt to offset the hops.

Left Hand 400# Monkey is another great IPA.

If you're into stouts Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro is exquisite.

The worst beer I've had lately was lienenkugels summer shandy. I don't know if it tastes like pine sol, but it wasn't good.

[AuburnSoldier 117]

I might be the only poster keeping this thread alive, and I might drink too much... but Paulaner Oktoberfest is phenomenal. I had a couple tonight and it might be my new favorite.

Anybody had the Sam Adams Oktoberfest yer? I've seen it in stores but can't bring myself to drop 18 bucks on a 12 pack.

[ShocksMyBrain 9,362]

I imagine Sam Adams Octoberfest is the exact same as last year.

Ayinger and Hacker Pschorr are my two favorite Oktoberfest/marzens.

[AuburnSoldier 117]

I never had the Sam Oktoberfest so I wouldn't know what to compare it to.

I was a miller lite guy. I only got into crafts after moving to oklahoma.

OK has a low point beer law. You've got to go to a liquor store to get anything over 3.2%. Even buying on a military post the domestics are low alcohol, so i started trying imports and American micros. Overall a good decision.

I personally love the Sam Adams Oktoberfest. It's one of my favorite beers.

It's relatively the same in Alabama. State enforced, or ABC stores don't sell beer at all.

The only advantage is that as of 2009, package stores are now allowed to carry more local, national, and internationally crafted brews. The drawback is the sometimes the cost.

Yea but I can buy high gravity or high alcohol beers anywhere I wants without having to go to the ABC!
