As an amputee I can win bar bets by hopping across the room with a glass of ale without spilling it. Word of warning, this bet gets harder to win the more you win. Kind of ironic, winning an adult beverage free of hops by hopping.
My favorite beer is whatever town's local brewery I happen to be visiting. And I've made entire road trip vacations with planned stops at local gastropubs.
You should run through the Pittsburgh area sometime. We've got some great local breweries here. North Country, Hitchhiker, Beaver Brewing Co, Church Brew Works, just to name a few.
Admire your journeys, sir. I similarly like to visit local breweries while on vacation or passing through cities while traveling. Craft beer makes me so happy. Cheers!
Here in Germany we have a saying "Kein Bier vor vier" which means "No beer before four (pm)" Nobody I know seems to pay attention to this and besides, Radler (mix of beer and lemonade) exists and I‘ve seen some people drink that during their lunchbreak so yeah lol
I visited prague a couple years back and have to say that drinking a full liter stein of cerny kozel (a dark and very tasty brew with maybe a 2, 2.5% alcohol level) in a rock n roll bar was quite the experience.
My favorite beer is Elliot Ness by Great Lakes Brewing Co. I adore Amber lagers and they're a bit tricky to find when I leave WI. Really the best part about being from here is the beer variety. I don't drink if it's not worth it. Oktoberfest beers are also good. Essentially if it is like a light meal I'm game. The redder the better is my motto.
"Give beer to those who are perishing, wine to those who are in anguish; let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more." - Proverbs 31: 6-7 ♥️🍺
My favorite is Saint Arnold’s SANTO, a “black Kölsch” or dark lager, brewed by Texas’ oldest micro-brewer, and a company that has resisted all offers from Im-Bev and others for many years. I drink it late at night when it’s cool enough in Houston to be outside, on my heavily fanned backporch, listening to the sounds of night and petting my loyal companion Mulligan, an Irish Wolfhound I rescued many years ago.
DrDizzlebeat - Yes, kölsch is pale and in the EU, is protected to only be brewed in Cologne. Those rules do not apply in the US. Also, the brewery owners at least halfway agree with you on the name; their website describes this beer as ”a black Kölsch, which technically doesn’t exist as a style, but this is as close as we can come to describing it. Essentially it is brewed using a Kölsch recipe with the addition of Munich and black malt. It is light bodied and floral yet with a distinct dark malt flavor.” And having traveled to many parts of the world, and spending some 18 months in Germany & Austria, I can assure you that this is a distinctive beer with a smooth light body but dark flavor, and is a welcome delight in the hot Houston, Texas summers when flavor is a must but heaviness a burden.
I have a lot of favorite beers, but I always love to crack open an Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier during the cold Autumn and Winter months with my cousin. Pair it with some roasted meat and extra sharp, hearty cheese; it's delicious!
Left Hand Nitro Milk Stout. Stouts are almost always tasty, and milk stouts in particular tend to have a really smooth flavor profile. Nitrogenation in lieu of carbonation changes the mouthfeel and eliminates some mild sour notes, making for a truly tasty brew.
When I lived in Bavaria for a year, I loved Hasen Brau. Now, stateside, I enjoy Bud Lite Lime. In my family, we've always called beer, "liquid bread." ;-)
You talk of Bud Inbev dominating the market in 2017 by buying Miller, but didn't even touch how the big guys (Bud, Miller and Coors) dominated and destroyed the regional beer industry in the US in the 70s.When I came of drinking age in the 80s, the beer choices were sad, and Michelob Dark was considered classy AF. Thank God for the rise of the craft brewers. From tiny taprooms to large new regional breweries the choices of quality beer styles is astounding. Even some old regional brewers are experience a renaissance. I haven't had a Miller/Bud/Coors brew in more than 20 years.
I'm a cider man too. And rum. Is that "Groot" as in the Guardian of the Galaxy? Yeah, that's going to be easy to google. ETA: It's spelled "gruit" like "fruit" but with a g.
Hilarious! Miller High Life is my daily tipple AND I'm a Jeopardy fanatic. Until I moved away from the town, you could find me every weekday afternoon sitting at the bar of my favourite pub, High Life in hand, watching Alex Trebek (R+I+P) on Jeopardy!
I'm particularly fond of Chimay Grande Reserve, Hoegaarden witbier, Foothills Brewing People's Porter, Guinness Draught and Extra Stout, Samuel Adams Oktoberfest, Edmund's Oast The Abider, and last but certainly not in anyway least, Arrogant Bastard Ale. They are all so good when you're relaxing or enjoying a particularly hearty meal. Also! Never drink to be drunk, eat something with it to make the experience worthwhile and help prevent a hangover. Eating something will delay metabolism of the alcohol.
Ooo. I do love a good cider as well. But my favorite would probably have to be Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale. I love bourbon too so it's a natural fit. I'd love to drink it anytime I'm with friends or in a place of enjoyment.
Dark Horse Plead the Fifth, if I'm having a dark beer Bell's Hopslam, if I'm having a non-dark beer Bell's Two Hearted, if I'm having several beers and trying not to get too hammered
I'll never forget popping into a tiny bar in North Manchester, IN (very small town) and seeing that of their 4 beers on tap, one was Hopslam. I couldn't believe my eyes. I became good friends with that keg that night. The three other beers were Bud, Miller Lite, and Coors Light. Crazy.
Back 1991, there was a message on the local popular radio station that said a truckload of TUI was overweight at Bulls and all the Beer was Free to avoid the fine, great advertising though. Didn't have any petrol that day, Bummer.
I will sometimes drink Guinness instead of cider, mead, or wine. I am told that, as an American, I might be confused as to what beer actually tastes like, and that I might discover that I really am a "beer guy" if I ever get to visit Europe.
Apparently, beer is great with Korean fried chicken. So, if you can manage to get your hands on genuine Korean fried chicken, make sure you have it with a pint of the good stuff.
For me, it's Guinness. I'm surprised you didn't mention some of the fun historical facts about beer such as the expressions, "rule of thumb", "Scot free", and "mind your P's and Q's". Plus, how the invention of the thermometer greatly advanced brewing.
I like mainly lagers, porters and stouts... I don't like most IPAs or even pale ales in general. I tried to like them, but after awhile I realized I hated most pale ales.
I enjoy IPA and nut brown ales. There's one nut brown local to upstate NY called Messiah that's really tasty. I also really like the Scottish ale from Arizona of all places that's called "kilt lifter".
A wheat beer, Octoberfest, or stout for me, depending on the situation. Occasionally an IPA, but it's not a go-to. Also, I'm an involuntary teetotaler.
Amazing video. I would be having a SweetWater Goin’ Coastal in a frosty mug at my favorite waterfront restaurant, Skull Creek Boathouse on Hilton Head, with a live band playing softly in the background in the company of my beautiful wife.
Didn't know there are people who use the terms beer and ale interchangeably cos in an average English pub you rarely see beer on tap unless it was one of those international brands whilst ales you'd find it hard to see them in a glass bottle. Personally I love locally brewed ales on tap....always try the stuff on tap first and if none are that nice then I'd go for an IPA if that fails then I guess I'd risk it and ask for a pint of snakebite and black.
I couldn't pay attention to the episode cataloging the great board games you have back there. It's a pity you can't have a history of Board games episode. kudos to you for having Arkham Horror back there.
The Back Hand of God by Crannog Ales in BC, Canada. I believe it's a stout, but I'll call it a beer for this. I actually don't like beer at all (cider is my thing), but even I find BHoG to be very tasty. They don't ship it anywhere, and they grow the ingredients right there on the farm where it's brewed, so you have to go to the BC interior to find it.
My favorite probably will differ anytime you ask, but at the moment: Bell's Two Hearted. I feel bad for the lack of fidelity to my Catholic roots, but hoppiness is the best.
I have no real favorite beer. It really depends on the where and when. On a hot summer day, very few beers can beat a wheat beer of almost any style, while a spiced, alcoholic, darker beer is wonderful on a late fall or winter evening.
Fun fact: in the US, Budweiser’s on-package advertising emphasizes it’s “only” four ingredients: water, barley, rice, and hops. One of those doesn’t belong, and they’re leaving off a pretty important one with yeast. But I guess that doesn’t matter much to InBev
As an amputee I can win bar bets by hopping across the room with a glass of ale without spilling it.
Word of warning, this bet gets harder to win the more you win.
Kind of ironic, winning an adult beverage free of hops by hopping.
Nah bro the puns are wild 💀

That sounds delicious, we do Beermosas in WI. Any hoppy citrus IPA beer with pulpy orange juice.
It's always 4pm somewhere.
Here's to alcohol, the cause and solution to all of life's problems.
At least you'll forget the cause for a few hours...
Ok Homer
@@ericknutson8679 I read that with "OK boomer" intonation and then had to ask myself: Is Homer a baby boomer?

Truest statement ever
I visited prague a couple years back and have to say that drinking a full liter stein of cerny kozel (a dark and very tasty brew with maybe a 2, 2.5% alcohol level) in a rock n roll bar was quite the experience.
It's one of the most popular drinks
Now imagine it beer tasted good...
What you blasphemer
At one point my father had a collection of Beer Wisdom glasses, one of which said: The best beer in the world is the one in my hand.
Drinking beer while watching this. Good times!
Killian's Irish Red is my beer of choice.
It’s 5:00 somewhere!
As was I, NovaNihil! Cheers!
I like lindemans framboise. It a Belgium lambic and I enjoy drinking it with my dad after a long day watching the sun set on the black hills
I like it too, so good!
Best beer ever is Spotted Cow from New Glarus brewery im Wisconsin.
I wish we could get that in NC! So delicious! 🍻
@@mcussen Not sold anywhere outside of wisconsin as far as I'm aware.

My favorite beer is free.
My second-favorite is cold.
My third favorite? New Belgium's 1554, followed closely by Fat Tire.
You forgot to speak about Student's t-test at the Guinness brewery.. Seems pretty much historical to me :)
I have a particular like of Newcastle Brown Ale.
Favorite beer-Yuengling Lager from the oldest brewery in the USA.

4. Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin'
5. Sierra Nevada Celebration

Kölsch beer by definition is pale and only to be brewed in Cologne, what you're drinking is probably closer to Irish Wolfhound piss. Cheers

Great video! I enjoy all kinds of beer, but my beer of choice would have to be Leffe, a Belgian blonde beer.
I've never been a fan of beer but I was a fan of Spuds Mckenzie as a little kid.
When I lived in Bavaria for a year, I loved Hasen Brau. Now, stateside, I enjoy Bud Lite Lime.
In my family, we've always called beer, "liquid bread." ;-)
"Give me a woman who loves beer and I will conquer the world." - Kaiser Wilhelm. 😋🍺♥️
Dead Guy Ale is the best beer I've ever tasted, it's bitter but has a toffee undertone that makes it so savory.
Bell's Two Hearted Ale... Favorite Brew
You talk of Bud Inbev dominating the market in 2017 by buying Miller, but didn't even touch how the big guys (Bud, Miller and Coors) dominated and destroyed the regional beer industry in the US in the 70s.When I came of drinking age in the 80s, the beer choices were sad, and Michelob Dark was considered classy AF.

No matter where humans have gone on Earth, someone has found a way of making alcohol.
Breckenridge Brewery Christmas Ale. About 7% ABV. (I recommend the 1.32 gallon mini-keg so you share..)
Nothing finer than a Shiner!
I'm Australian and my favourite Australian beers are Carlton dry and VB. My favourite international beer is Heineken.
I loved Amber Ales and Hefeweizens. My go-to beer is Boddington's Pub Ale which I like to enjoy in the company of good friends and conversation.

When I'm hanging out with friends, I'm quite fond of sipping on a locally-brewed Monkeynaut IPA. (Straight to Ale, Huntsville, Alabama)
I only drink European pilsners atm. So tasty when at the right temp! 😋
Especially in summer (which we got an early dose of here on the East coast of the US last week)!
Candy corn, love it and hate. Favorite beer. Shiner Bock.

Best bear ever: Kodiak Brown Ale, served on tap at Humpy's great Alaskan Ale House in Anchorage. That was 20 years ago. Haven't tested it since
I actually don't like beers, as they're too bitter. I prefer mead, and I actually make my own because it's otherwise too hard to find.
Making your own mead is an amazing hobby, I know what I'll be researching this weekend!

The best beer is, of course, black Kozel.
Coopers Sparkling Ale, in Adelaide, in the Coopers Pub. 💚
never been a beer fan, but when i do have it it's usually blue moon belgian white. usually it's just hard sodas or hard lemonade for me
I enjoy amber ales.
Leinenkugel’s (Yes, autocorrect is screaming). Now, a brand of Molson Coors, but a historic taste tradition.
My favorite beer is Sour Apple Saison by Epic Brewery.

Stouts are the best, especially hazelnut and chocolate
I have never understood sour beer. When I was still drinking, I like most of the Mexican beers like Texate
Black and Tan with Sam Adams, or shandy with lidencugels
