I saw this on FaceBook - NASTY! There are much better things I could think of to do with Guinness. Straight up comes to mind, but if you're going to do something with it, THIS is not it.

I'm enjoying a Le Fin Du Monde tonight. It's 9% abv. I only have one left, or I'd probably have another one. It's been that kind of night.

That's probably my favorite beer. Good stuff.

ETA: That brewery is overall excellent. I also like their Blanche De Chambly and Trois Pistoles.

I'm not familiar with that beer, but I have a cousin who has a friend who flies with the Military Air Transport Service (MATS) to Germany. They ship things over and come back empty, so they are allowed to bring their own things back from Germany. Our friend brings back 8 or 9% German beer with ceramic caps. A couple of those will get your attention.

There are so many great beers around here!

I currently live in the town where Grolsch is brewed, so that's everywhere! It's quite heavy and bitter, but I do love it.
Absolutely hate Heineken, sickly sweet!

I really like Kriek, beer made with Cherries, really nice on a cold day.

This thread couldn't have come at a better time! I just finished the FAFSA for my son, which means I have my Income taxes done. And I boxed up my son's science fair project to ship off to Washington DC. So, tomorrow, after work, I'm grabbing a quality beer, and you have given me a bunch of wonderful ideas.

On another note, one of my favorites is Newcastle Brown. A Newcastle keg uses a different tap than a Coors, Bud, etc. tap. Just in case the house forgets to order a tap, I always carry a 1/4-20 nut, and 1/4-20 jam nut (thinner), made of 316 stainless. It spaces the tap plunger just enough to make a conventional tap work. Any other mechanical engineers out there with keg tricks?

And, for a non-alcohol beer Kaliber is the best.
