KSK Commenter BONUS Draft: Beer


It's Memorial Day weekend, so let us choose our favorite brews. I have stated many times that I am a beer whore and NOT a beer snob, so any beer suits my fancy. But if you're more particular, this may be for you. If you missed last evening's draft, here's a quick chance to make up for it.

The rules: Pick any beer. If it's obscure, leave a link. PICK ONE BEER ONLY, COMMENTER LARRY BURNS. Once 10 other people have picked, you may pick another.

My pick? Chimay.


Delicious and TWICE the alcohol!

Enjoy the weekend. Missing your cheerleader? Try a Google search. I'm sure something will turn up.

UPDATE: Different varieties by the same brewer or label are fine.

Good old Budweiser & lots of it!

Unsilent Majority said...

SHENANIGANS! Are you taking all four Chimay beers?

I'm taking the Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA. The hops are fucking incredible. Now that I'm thinking about it I'll never get any work done.

oh yeah, it also has 20% alcohol!

flubby said...

assuming Jason meant Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, I will take the Porter

Unsilent Majority said...

and i'm a complete beer snob.

good pick beaver

Unsilent Majority said...

Are we allowed to repeat breweries?

Wormfather said...

No one said anything about imaginary beers, but I feel bad about duff. I'm gonna go with something more contemporary this time around.

Amstel Light...the beer drinker's light beer.

BeaverFever said...

thanks UM, i've been drinking anchor steam since college. and i graduated 14 years ago. i'm an old man compared to most of the commenters here.

Shit, devang. stupid slow computer.

@Pemulis

Nice! "High Gravity" It's been a while.

Big Daddy Drew said...

Because i prize drinkability above all else, and i can drink about 40 yuenglings in a hour.

Group 5 said...

BDD- picked my sleeper! Nice pick.

Wormfather said...

@BBD Damn, mine too. Looks like I'm picking up another imaginary beer.

Samual L. Jackson Brew

IT'LL GET YA DRUNK! YOU MIGHT EVEN PUNCH A N$%GA

Being from Texas and all - and since Guinness has been taken.

I choose Shiner Bock.

Natty Light. Fuck your quality. I want to be piss drunk within the hour.

Ommagong Witte. Can't find a link to this, but it's on of THE best witte beers out. Brewery is near Cooperstown.

@ Beaver:

I'll take Canadian moonshine, Molson's. Not the Ice bullshit, just give me the thick.

MyBoysAreMyLife said...

@burnsy. YOu mean the Molson XXX?

John S. said...

hoegaarten

Bathroom Jones said...

I'm on board with Burnsy here, plus I like my beer to double as potato gun ammo.

Keystone Light, especially in $11.99 30 packs.

Group 5 said...

Best price/booze ratio out there, plus the wide mouths help-

I choose for my third Mickey's Fine Malt Liquor.

Cause it's fine malt liquor, dammit.

Being from the great state of Michigan, I must take Bell's Oberon

did i steal from jason my bad.

i thought taht bigfoot was mroe specific is that still stealing?

Pemulis said...

blue moon

and a question about the rules, someone has already picked Sam Adams, does that encompass all varieties, or is for example Sam Summer Ale still up for the taking?

Anonymous said...

Yes, Devang. Thank you for the correction. I meant XXX. I don't want this to later turn into my old "You never specified which Ricky Williams you were taking" fantasy draft routine, which I'm sure is 8 million other adult males' 15th round routine as well.

Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout

at some point i'll have to take a light beer.

Three Floyds Alpha King

www.threefloyds.com

Group 5 said...

I suggest unless there's specification that the person picked the most common variety, and the others are open to pick. F'rinstance, I picked Sierra Nevada (intending to pick the pale ale). Flubby chased it with the Porter, etc...

Anonymous said...

ok so i took the bigfoot

Trader Rick said...

thanks, jason, and congrats on picking the finest malt liquor. i have a mickeys cap collection somewhere.

Unknown said...

I am by no means a beer connosieur; all that shit tastes pretty much the same to me, and beer consumption is always a means to getting wasted ASAP. Unless I'm out to get trashed, I'm taking a Yoo-Hoo, a Coke, or some Jack Daniels on the rocks.

So in light of all that, I select Sam Adams' Utopia Beer, the strongest beer ever brewed. A description from the review:

"To create the beer, Sam Adams' brewers used two-row, caramel and Vienna malts, then all four types of noble hops, leaving the beer spicy enough that some call it "fiery." The beer was aged in scotch, cognac and port barrels from February 2001 until late last year. The aroma has a "distinctive smell of cinnamon and vanilla with subtle hints of floral, citrus and pine.""

Fuck you, I win. Have fun playing for second place pussies.

flubby said...

My favorite cheap beer: High Life.

Truly, the champagne of beers.

Rob I said...

No, you idiot, I said a BUD Light!

MyBoysAreMyLife said...

Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout. Expensive, but a damn fine stout.

@miamidiesel. Can you get the Utopia in Jersey? If so lemme know, I'd like me some.

San_Erino said...

Stone Brewing Ruination IPA.

Other than Sierra Nevada (and Anchor Steam), there seems to be a serious East Coast-bias here. Not that I care.

Group 5 said...

Red Stripe. It goes good with weed.

josh said...

since Guiness and Newcastle are already taken, I pick Young's Double Chocolate Stout

Group 5 said...

Oh, and now I'm on a mission to get some of that Utopia. If I don't have a glass in front of me by noon, I will have to commit seppuku.

josh said...

I don't think they make the Utopia anymore. It's impossible to find now.

thanks for nothing miamidiesel.

Group 5 said...

Shit, chief, you can drink with me anytime.

Bathroom Jones said...

Schlitz

And I don't feel as if I need to justify this pick.

MyBoysAreMyLife said...

@Swolestice

Sorry, i got that one already

Rob I said...

I think you should be banned, swolestice for not knowing how to use CTRL-F.

HINT: it doesn't stand for CTRL-FUCK EVERYONE'S SHIT UP BY TAKING SOMETHING THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN TAKEN

Bud Light is yummy.

Unknown said...

@devang: i haven't seen any utopia sold in jersey since 2003. i live in morris county, and there were a couple of places that had like one bottle from the entire batch and sold it for $200. i saw some random bottles pop up in nyc in 2005, but they were also from the 2003 batch, and i haven't seen any anywhere since. i guess your best bet would be to ebay it. all i can say is if you can get your hands on it for anything under $500, and you love alcohol, go for it; you will not regret it.

Anonymous said...

bud light is yummy, i agree with rob I. and as a high schooler my opinion on beer is far less evolved than his and i still agree.

Boddington's... but not from a jackass bartender that doesn't know how to dispense it.

my cheap beer/lite beer pick: miller lite. less filling, taste great ! much like a nice vagina.

Rob I said...

See? Even high school girls agree. BLt's are delicious.

pmk3 said...

Shit. Just call me the Vikings.

I'll go with Bass Pale Ale.

nice first pick drew with the trappist stuff. trappist and monk beers are always good.

Caffrey's.

And I'm happy.

hey rob not sure if you are mocking me, but i am a male.

My Insignificant Life said...

Stroh's

Unknown said...

To further whet your appetites for Utopia, a quote from the brewer:

"Everybody thought that you couldn't ferment a beer beyond 13 or 14 percent alcohol. We discovered that if you push fermentation up above 20 percent you encounter an entirely new world of flavors."

And an excerpt from a review on the flavor of Utopia:

"The taste is astonishly unbeerlike. My first sensation was sweet vanilla, butter and mild candy spices combining into an elixir of toffee with a mouth-feel more like Drambuie. It then thinned out and became crisper and slightly piney, like a dry sherry or a mild single-malt scotch. It finished dry, clean and not too long."

That's right devang, a beer that tastes like a single-malt scotch. Don't even try to tell me you're not turned on right now. Like I said, the shit costs, but its absolutely worth it. And if anybody wants to petition Sam Adams to make more of this stuff, I'm all for it.

MyBoysAreMyLife said...

@miamidiesel. I'll ebay it and see what I can find.

BTW, I work in Morristown, so anytime you need an excuse to do a pub crawl on the green....

the ghost of boris yeltsin said...

Ahh, beer. One of my favorite topics, so I'm annoyed I can't really join the topic since I'm Finnish and have tasted only Budweiser of american beers.

Still, going fancy and snobbish (?) in the first round:

Good call on the Duvel

Don't You Judge Me said...

it tastes like piss, but I have to do my part to support these ladies:

Rob I said...

At risk of sounding like everyone I despise:

Hey devang and miamidiesel, I live in Morristown. We should definitely have a KSK Pub Crawl.

Group 5 said...

@BDD- GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!!!!!

Mackeson's Irish Stout.

SMITHWICKS

Make sure you know how to pronounce before ordering.

pants said...

Jesse Wins with the boddington's pick.

How 'bout a Hudy Delight? anyone?

pmk3 said...

Anyone with a pair of testicles knows that Bud Light is designed for college girls and high schoolers.

If you're in the market for cheap, light beer, I suggest Busch Light. Nothing beats a cold Shrub Light.

MyBoysAreMyLife said...

Rob, I'm in. Name the date, and I'll make it out.

Bathroom Jones said...

You know what else "works every time?" My third pick...

King Cobra

(Muh fucka)

@devang: no shit, morristown? right now i'm taking the train from there to nyc everday for my internship. we'll definitely have to get together and hit up the office, the muse, etc. sometime.

and for my next pick, i'm taking Hefe-Weiss.

Always enjoyed at Moher's in downtown Edgebrook.

Nice pick, wormfather. I love the Hat. kinda fruity, but delicious. Like me.

Being a St. Louisan it would be sac religious to pick something other than an AB product. So....

In honor of my eleven years in Cincinnati, I'm going with Christian Moerlein.

third pick: Fuller's London Porter. second best porter ever. I'm really cleaning up with the dark beers today.

MyBoysAreMyLife said...

Jesus beaverfever, what's the matter with you? St. Ide's

naptown drew said...

Crazy Horse.

Malt liquor + Formaldehyde = Fucked up like Rick James, bitch.

MyBoysAreMyLife said...

4th pick. Brooklyn IPA

Permanent4 said...

Since Hoegaarden is off the board, I'll take Allagash White. It costs a little more, but it's damn tasty.

And I'm not entirely sure Newcastle is off the board here. I'd take it myself, but the bottle I tried to drink last night was skunked...

Wormfather said...

@ Swolestice

whoa, whoa, just looking at your comments in both drafts. Calm down their tiger. If a man wants to drink bud light or listen to aerosmith that's his buisness.

I wouldnt be mad at you for front manning the Spice Girls and drinking Chantis, now would I?

Newcastle.

Not taken, and it slid like Brady Quinn.

Don't You Judge Me said...

@swolestice - if this is a race to the bottom for cheapest beers, I see your Busch Light and raise you with Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Nothing like a cold PBR when you only have $2.50!

Unknown said...

Sprecher Bavarian... b/c if it's on tap you probably didn't pay more than $4 for a pint, it tastes like heaven, and you're probably eating some deep fried cheese curds and bratwursts with kraut.

Drawback... you are in Wisconsin so the likelihood someone strikes up a conversation re: Brett Favre's retirement is increased 50 fold.

Unknown said...

Update: looks like there is one bottle of Sam Adams Utopia up on eBay. who's gonna have the balls to man up and go for it? like i said, i'm in for $500. devang, rob, if i win, i'll definitely make sure to share the wealth with you fellas during a night out in mo-town.

I'm gonna take Killians now, good cheap and can be consumed warm...because us alcoholics really cant be stuck waiting an hour for shit to get cold.

pmk3 said...

Don't you judge Me-
I too am a friend of the Blue Ribbon. My favorite form of the Blue Ribbon: the old 24 oz tall boy.

gone said...

Gotta represent the cheap beer right quick:

Rainier. Why didn't you take this CC?

Permanent4 said...

My next pick: Sam Adams Black Lager. It's stout lite, yes, but it's great during the winter months when you want some flavor without that meal-in-a-glass feeling.

the ghost of boris yeltsin said...

2nd pick:

A. le Coq's double bock.
Double the alcohol, yet still the same price in Estonia as normal beers. (13€ / 24 pack)

And it has a cool ram on it's logo
http://www.beerguide.ee/tartu_bock.jpg

Perhaps, they should strike a deal with the rams and make the games that more exciting.

Don't You Judge Me said...

OK - time to move onto quality beers.

Belhaven


some of these draft results remind me of my favorite bad Australian joke:

What do American beers and canoes have in common?

They're both pretty fucking close to water!

ba-dum-dum.

thanks and I'll be here all weekend!

Rob I said...

Flying Fish Dubbel

Best craft beer in New Jersey.

I'll be at the bars in Morristown tonight if anyone wants to meet up. Check my profile for my email.

@wormfather: killians is a good every-day beer. always makes me think of pizza hut crusts though, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

BeaverFever said...

devang, when it was time to get fucked up quick st. ide's was always there for me. and cheaper than a bottle of old crow whiskey.

Trader Rick said...

Damn, I can't believe I missed Allagash White by two picks...
I'll respond by going to the hard hitting Bavarian, Schneider Aventinus

josh said...

my fourth pick: Hofbrau Haus Dunkel. comes in liter mugs, is like 2.50 euros per liter, and is on tap only at the Hofbrau Haus in Munich, Vegas, and Cincinnati. good luck even finding that shit in bottles in the U.S.

Unknown said...

My 3rd pick: Beck's.

BeaverFever said...

for my cheap beer that brings back memories of high school, i'll take Milwaukee's Best. i would have drafted meister brau, but i don't think they make it anymore.

naptown drew said...

After snapping up Crazy Horse for its alleged formaldehyde content, I'll now take just a plain old good beer:

Shiner Hefeweizen... b/c nothing tastes better when it's 110 degrees in south TX and you just ate 5 lbs of Cooper's brisket, pork chop, and ribs.

To follow up my first pick and speaking of getting through college (and since Shiner was already taken), I am going to have to take Lone Star in round 2.

fifth pick: anything made by Yazoo Brewing, out of Nashville. it's local, delicious, and you can fill up growlers right from their taproom.

That one's for you, dad.

@UM - your first pick might be 20%, but mine set a record for alcohol content at 25.6% in 2003. on top of which, it tastes fucking fantastic. beer that both tastes good and has a record-setting level of alcohol? sorry, no one is beating that one today...

MyBoysAreMyLife said...

As Billy Dee Williams said: "works everytime, Colt 45."

@miamidiesel. Take the Haywards 5000 or 10000. Comes in a big as bottle

pmk3 said...

Permanent4-
good to see a fellow North Carolinian make a local pick. Red Oak is delicious.

For all my fellow DC residents out there, try the Porter at Capitol City Brewery. It is a delicous (and filling) adult beverage as well.

2) Harp's

5) Mackeson's Irish Stout
6) Newcastle
7) Maudite
8) Motor City Ghetto Blaster.

I just need to complete the 12 pack for lunch.

Oh, and miamidiesel? Just for that, I'm gonna pick next a fifth of Canadian Club poured into a party ball.

RFD in Chinatown also has a great beer menu. First time I ever had Magic hat was at RFD. Memories...

rfd is the place to go after wizards games. they've got great beer but the birreria has the most unique stuff.

What, no one wants to select the gigantor can of Foster's? Fine, more for me then. My 5th pick: a gigantor can of Foster's. Even if Foster's isn't really Australian for beer

Brahma Chopp - The official beer of Brazil and Carnaval do Rio...

Any beer that brings back memories of me dancing with fine ass Brazilian women in Rio is a fine, fine beer.

jd: Hoegaarden's off the board, yo.

miamidiesel: Foster's is still good when you've got a hankering for Australian football, which is almost as awesome as the NFL, but with more widespread recreational drug problems.

And fuck it, since some folks here have almost ten picks in the bag, I'm taking my fifth pick now -- Blue Star from North Coast brewing. An American wheat beer that doesn't suck.

My picks so far:

1.) Allagash White
2.) Sam Adams Black Lager
3.) Red Oak
4.) Ellie's Brown Ale
5.) Blue Star

Chief- I'm in Ann Arbor now, but I was just in DC on Wed. for work. And by in DC, I mean Rockville, MD. And by Wed, I mean 11-8.

is there not one steeler fan here that will pick Iron City Beer just out of respect for the Steel City and their team ? I know the beer sucks, but like i said show some respect steeler fan.

Since newcastle and negra modello have been picked, I'll go with Brooklyn Brown Ale.

I love newcastle, but one of the best/worst decisions I ever made was to get a keg of newcastle when I graduated from college. Let's just say that the hangover from 15 pints of Newcastle is the equivalent of the hangover from about 37 miller lites and a few tequilla shots mixed in for good measure.

I really want to walk over to the Dubliner right now and have a Guiness for lunch. Thanks BDD.

I haven't heard anyone claim Old English 800 yet... not that I am claiming it.

Eazy E would not be happy.
