Wow. I have drunk exactly zero of those beers.

[Riobard]

I prefer an even number ... a 6-pack of lagers with 6-packs of loggers  ;>P

[BiBottomBoy]

Now that I can relate to.

Dogfish head 90 Minute

Elysium Space Dust

Just about anything imperial, especially a stout

[BiBottomBoy]

[dubdavie]

1.   Guinness  2.   Heineken  3. Peroni   4. San Miguel   5.  Estrella      and after one of each... any beer will do 

[BiBottomBoy]

I'd forgotten about estrella. that's so good!

[pete01]

1). Shiner Bock  2). Modelo  3.) Guinness  4). Heineken  5). Skol

[BiBottomBoy]

I find that guinness is good for one beer. After that though it just makes me feel so full

[dubdavie]

I agree Guinness is a heavy drink an takes a while to get used to its taste. The older I get I tend to opt more for the larger beers which are an easier drink particularly on holidays in warmer climates. 

[BiBottomBoy]

yep. I can easily do six lagers and not feel full. At one and a half guinness I'm stuffed.

[Midguy1]

My favourites  are (no particular order): 1. Wherry, 2. Stella Artois, 3. Abbots, 4. Everards Tiger, 5. Peroni.

[BiBottomBoy]

Stella and Peroni are awesome.

Jeeze, if we ever get out of the Covid Clusterfuck I'm gonna have to take any Angelino board members to where there's real beer!  

Art's District brewing downtown is good.  Karl Strauss (only the one downtown also has a great selection of better beers than their in-house) and Mikkeller (SHIT, never mind, just looked up spelling and it CLOSED), well if you're in SF try it there!  Think they're in SD too.  

Blue Palms in Hollywood is owned by the Art's District people, great beer selection and food.  

We're Pouring in Glendale is good beer and food.  

Wolf Creek in Santa Clarita is great food and some good beer.

I worry we're never going to be able to go to bars again

Well, 12 years of prohibition, for different reasons, followed on the heels of the Spanish Flu epidemic. History repeats itself but let’s hope the net effect of this time around is not the same as that governed by temperance a century ago.

Lately, I seem to be drinking beer from craft local breweries most often. But my favorite global/widespread brands are: 1. Goose Island IPA 2. Heineken 3. Singha (love it served in a beer tower with ice in Thailand) 4. Corona 5. Paulaner.

[BiBottomBoy]

I'd forgotten about Paulaner. That is  a very good beer!

stella

sam adams

grolsch

[BiBottomBoy]

stella and grolsch are great

Sam Adams is piss though

[daydreamer]

I'm guessing the Stella lovers mean Stella Artois, the Belgian beer.  Stella beer without the "Artois" is brewed in Egypt.  It's not for the timid, as every bottle is different.  I drank it occasionally when I lived in Egypt, but only if there was no other option. 

The company has been sold since I lived in Egypt, so I don't know if their quality control has improved lately.   It has been brewed under the Stella name in Egypt since 1897.  The label on the right below is the new version since being sold.

 

[lookin]

1. Downtown Brown

2. Guiness

3. Boddingtons Pub Ale

4. Old Rasputin

5. Corona

 

#2 and #3 make my favorite Black and Tan.

The egyptian stella looks sketchy as all hell.
