I applaud your fine fine taste.... Fruit Lambics are the only beer I can stand.

Cassis is another favorite.

I haven't had Cassis. I like fruit lambic beers, but only for dessert. I like Lindeman's gueuze too, but that's the only gueuze I've had.

If I can make it to the UK this Winter I'm going to pick up a Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) guide and seek out a good pub with real ale. The best I can find in DC is bottled bitter.

If your looking for cask conditioned ale, RFD (Bricks affiliate) usually has some on tap. Mostly domestic but occasionally from the U.K.

Now I know what people are looking at when they gaze into their pint glasses.
Guinness IS good for you. A pint ($2.00 on Monday nights) cured me of a two-day headache, wasn't even a hangover, when nothing else would.

I swear by Guinness--my father told me stories of Dublin General Hospital where they'd serve a half pint of guiness before bed, and that particular hospital had the lowest bed-stay rate in europe until they stopped in the 50's--It'd be interesting to find some literature supporting it--Those irish have a penchant for good stories!

I do enjoy Kriek, but I don't like my beer with fruity undertones usually.

I'm a big fan of Sleemans (brewed right here in Guelph)--their bottled "Sleeman Original Draught" is very tasty. I believe they just sold out to Ichiban breweries of japan, so I expect the beer quality to plummet very soon.

Funny thing is, i was never a beer drinker untill i had a "Rolling Rock" in New york once in Little Italy, having lunch with my brother-in-law.I liked it because it was light & when i returned to Canada i sought out lighter brews and ending up drinking a lot of Corona. Since then, I have evolved to the point where those taste like kool-aid and I drink Guiness, an Irish Red Ale( locally micro-brewed) or imports(Stella, Heineken, Boddington's). I even eat Guiness Ice Cream!

The short list.

I enjoy West Coast / California versions of the English Ales. Pale, IPA, Bitter, ESB, Ambers, browns, Porters, Stouts, Scottish ales which actually have 3 levels, Barley Wines, imperial Stouts, oatmeal stouts and such. I do like some Belgies but not across the board, sometimes they have this "wang' flavor from the yeast that brings me back to a real bad hang over from very wangy Belgians.

I also like the UK orignals: Guiness, Fullers ESB, Theakstons Old Peculiar, anything by Samuel Smith. It would be heavenly to try these again out of a pull tap and casked conditioned! Note to self: hit lotto do Camra tour of UK, then Europe.

i tend to stay away from "Spiced" ales like a lot of those Christmas beers, again stemming from a bad tangle with a vertical of years of vintage of Anchor Christmas ale on tap at the Stuffed Sandwhich in San Gabriel.

I like some of the German Lagers especially maibocks and doubles (the -ATOR brews) and Oktoberfest / Marzen brews.

In standard lagers I tend to go Mexican: Corona and XX dos ekkies plus the Amber, and bohemia is quite nice. If you can Get Negro Modelo or is it Modelo Negro anyway you are in for a treat.

Anchor, Sierra Nevada, Anderson Valley (Boontville), Stone brewing, and on and on and on.

Ben Franklin is quoted as saying: "Beer is Proof that God Loves Us!"
I am in total agreement with that statement!

Beer good!

I have to say I drink most anything. But I do love me some Guiness. However I also usually have Michelobe Lite in the fridge. I do wish I could find Wexford Cream Ale more often. Everytime I see it I end up buying about 10 packs. Then one beer that I used to enjoy was Mcaffreys Cream Ale. However they stoped exporting it, and more is the shame. For those that like Trappist ales, Give a try to La Fin Du Monde. It is a very floral brew made in Quebec and is bottled "on the lees" . And at 9% alcohol it is rather potent too. Hmmm, now i'm thirsty.
