a nice cold Guinness.

I really like the rum. It's good on the rocks or with tonic. I haven't tried the Gale Force Gin but I'm not a huge gin drinker.

Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale when it's cold out (ice fishin brew). I definately like the ciders, like Magners, in the summer. Not really suds, but there's some carbonation in there!

in 35 some odd years of consuming brews,,,,,,,,,,
i've prolly tasted over 100's of beers and have
found that i now approach beer from a seaonal perspective.

my favorite all time winter beer is Samuel Smith's
Oatmeal Winter Harvest

in the springtime i'll reach for an
Anchor Steam or Pacifico or Rolliing Rock

summertime calls for yer favorite Booberry, among others;
Coddington's Blueberry Blonde is delicious
Boston Beer Works Blueberry or Watermelon is equally appealing before a SOX Game.

fall calls for a various sundry of Octoberfests and i was pleasantly surprised by,
Harpoon's Octoberfest at the OTW celebration last year.
Sam's October is an autumnal staple and rightly so, yummy!

my five favorites for everyday drinking are
(though i no longer tip them daily) in no particular order:

Stella Artois, BASS Ale, Sam Adams, Red Stripe, and Black & Tan.
i also never imbibe while feeshing, though afterwards sumtimes.
:bl: :bl: :bl:

i must give honorable mention to
Tsing Tao, Bertolli, and BBWorks' Oatmeal Buck Stout.

Wow are we related. My Grandfather would do the exact same thing. Small glass and everything.

Sierra Nevada makes several great BREWS!
:drool: :drool: :drool:

lol
 

Southern Comfort is also
the ice fishin drink for some reason too :rotflmao: :spin::hf1:

My Favorite's are

i like where your heads at

Purity, Body, Flavor - nothing like an ice cold Ballantine Ale tall can in between bombing out tins.

CaptMike, Kalik would be nice, but they don't sell them here! I dragged a couple of 6's home one year, and they just aren't the same.

Newcastles are real nice as long as they are fresh, right off of the truck. Like St Pauli Girls, if they sit at the store for more than a couple of weeks they start to turn. There is a liquor store that closes for the winter in Wellfleet on 6 close to PJ's clam shack, when it opens in March they restock with fresh beer and I'll drop in there and do the newkies for a couple of weeks.

Bass Ale is nice for a change of pace. Stella Artois are too.

Don't drink while fishing... But my current fave is Berkshire Brewing Co's Drayman Porter. OUTSTANDING!

You can find them, but they aren't the same....

good CALL,,,,,,,,,,,,,
and those two reminded me of LaBatt's and Molsen's.
a coupla fine beers from the Great White North.

i must confess that i've yet to try a Ballantine Ale.
sounds gooood, any suggestions?? saloon or liquor stores.
i live on the NShore, thanks! :kewl: :kewl: :kewl:

NIIIICE glASS there Raven!!
:bl: :bl: :bl: :bl:

if me memory serves,,,,,,,,,,,
 

i was just trying to recall some of the brews we used to drink
back in the late 70's early 80's; when i was younger and dumber and
didn't give a sheet about WHAT i drank. these may no longer be in production
or maybe youse guys didn't get them up here??

Little Kings,
Mickey's BIG Mouth,
Olde English 800 thru a straw,
Schlitz Red Bull, and
Lone Star.

ring any bells?
:laughs: :laughs: :laughs:

I too refrain while fishing. But my favorites are Molson Canadian and a Pennsylvania made beer called Yueng Ling....can't get it up here. I bring a case home whenever I vist my family in NY. Good stuff. and no, it's not Chinese

I love the Yuengling Black and Tan. I can't remember where I had it, but it definitely wasn't in Pennsylvania. Maybe Syracuse, NY? Good stuff.

Me too. I stock up on the B&T and the lager. Mmmmmm

I drink a lot of YuengLings when i get together w/ my Navy buds...they live in PA...it is good stuff.

Bud Light. If I am feeling a little dangerous... maybe a Stella Artois.

You might want to check it out again. My Dad said the same thing as you Mike and was really surprised when tried it again. The quality of the brew declined in the last years of production but they have it dialed in now. After fishing I'll toss back a couple and they go down real smooth, espicially if ice cold.

Kalik was bought by anheisuer-busch about a year ago and they're doing some limited release along the east coast now. It's the same beer made in the same brewery but it probably loses something in the transport. One liquor store I go to orders it for me. I wish they imported the cans that would be awesome for the boat/beach. Honestly even if they're not as good here as in the bahamas it still feels good to see that label haha. Regardless to each his own.

Where does one get these Belhavens? They look good.

I agree with the ice cold part. To me gansett's are real easy going, they don't taste bad they just don't really have a strong taste at all kinda like busch or something like that. I like them, great cheap summer beer. I have a hard time finding them in anything bigger than a 6er though.

The Narragansett Bock is a nice, dark lager. It goes down real smooth. I also tried the regular Gansett lager and it was o.k. There are so many other good beers out there that I wouldn't buy it, but I'd take one from someone elses cooler.

I'll bet that without that pure Bahamian water they just don't taste the same -

A couple of posts have reminded me of refreshing brews of my past...
- Mickey big mouths
-a plain old PBR, ice cold can
-Genesee cream ale

My Dad used to like his beer cellar temperature, not fridge cold. Said it had a lot more flavor. His fav was Yuengling.

I cant drink yet. But ill def. second the Boston Beer Works Blueberry before a SOX game. Me and my dad go there anytime we go to a game and he always lets me have a sip.:gu:

Summer: Landshark, Dos Equis, Corona

Winter: Amstel, Stella

All the time: Bud Light, been with me since high school....I mean since I turned 21

Sailor Jerry Rum and Coke if I wanna get frisky.

Sailor jerry is great stuff. That and gosling's are my go to rums. Good to see another landshark fan too.

my brother lives in the HEART of Coalcracker Country in PA,
and Yeungling's is the oldest American made Ale and it IS very
refreshing. Their ale, their B&T, and their lagers are excellent!!
always have more than a couple when there,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
