hey all, just wondering what kind of beer fellow ss riders like, this pic of me ( on the right ) sipping a Fat Tire ( http://www.newbelgium.com/frames.html ) is at my favorite bar in downtown lincoln nebraska, the n-zone ( www.the-n-zone.com )... you will see my bike chained up there several days a week.
Actually it's hard to say. I drink a few differnt things according to what I'm in the mood for, but Anchor Steam is kinda neat because it's just a little different than anything else out there. Quite flavorful. . .
I wondered how long it would be before the favorite beer question came up again. What has it been, two months since the last time?
Well, since the last time it was posted, I jumped on the low carb bandwagon. The biggest sacrifice has truly been much reduced quantities (and quality) of beer I can drink. Whereas before I had no qualms about quaffing mass quantities of fine micros, or getting plowed on malt liquor, I'm reduced to the occasional...*gulp*...fizzy, yellow light beer. (Losing 30 lbs makes one do silly things, I've found, such as reprioritize weight loss over beer consumption.) However, that said, I've rapidly become an afficianado of all things yellow, fizzy and light. Bar none, Miller Lite is perhaps the king of all things light. Best taste for the calories (96), carbs (3.2g), and price (cheap). Sad but true. PBR, may ye rest in peace, brother.

Wish I could find the link, but I read an article recently which was describing the alcohol/carb content of Guinness and suprisingly enough it's on par with that of many common *light* beers. Who knew?
Anyway, I can't choose a single favorite for myself, but I've been digging the fruity summer brews lately. Bert Grant just came out with a mandarin hefeweizen that's excellent. Only problem is I got one six pack which is now gone (It lasted about a week, I'm a pretty moderate beer drinker.) and I haven't been able to find it again (Damn you Trader Joe's!). I did find a Buffalo Bill's Orange Blossom cream ale that was pretty tasty.
Had a Stone IPA to accompany my dinner this evening...
In no particular order...
Guinness
Kokanee
Bitburger (German)
Schoeferhoefer (Also German. Location hazard.)
And anything free and cold. Postride is good 2
