Since we are all metalheads, it is safe to say that the vast majority of us have a taste for beer! I can't think of a single thing I like to do more than pound down a few of the greatest tasting beverage known to man, and listen to metal. Well... except MAYBE sex. There are so many styles and brands of beer these days. lagers, ales, stouts, pilsners, pales, red ales, etc. Why does this glorious beverage blend so perfectly with our music? Some would say because of heavy metal and beer's common European origin. So I want to ask all you beer lovers out there, what are some of your favorite brews?!
I personally enjoy nice and heavy dark ales, lagers, and stouts, etc.. I don't drink light beer because I hate the watery taste. Living in America, I don't have full access to the better European beers that I would rather be drinking, but when I buy beer, I'm always getting Sam Adams, Guinness, Bass, Shiner Bock, Smithwicks, and whatever other tasty brews I manage to come across in any given local shop.

I'll drink anything, but newcastle brown ale is probably my favorite. If i dont get that then we usually have some variety of Sam adams, red hook or long trail ales. Shipyard pumpkinhead is a favorite of mine when its out in the fall.
I buy good stuff for home but if I'm at a bar or a show or something I'll drink budweiser or coors or whatevers cheap
SHREDDER S47 on
I agree on the budweiser at shows. It's not my taste, but when venues skyrocket their beverage prices, I'm perfectly fine with a Budweiser. Coors is a decent cheap beer as well. Maybe even better than Budweiser. My nickname for coors is a "yellow hammer" lol
MasterDeath on
I'm not picky, as long it's a cold one!
Some of my favorites are Pauwel Kwak, Duvel, Paulaner Salvator (any Paulaner to be exact), any Benediktiner, any Augustiner...
Dark, ^alcohol, hefe... BEER BEER BEER BEER
ZAKRAT on
Duvel is great!
But what i usually drink is lager, mostly Bavaria, but ill drink almost any beer :-)
Also good i a nice icecold cider Thatchers Gold
Hárbarðr on
Damn, i'd really like to try an Augustiner, never seen one for sale here.
Bayernpirat on
HELL YESS - AUGUSTINER IS THE STUFF
Stronthor on
Good call on the Salvator, that one used to be my favorite for a very long time! Come to think of it, it's been a while since I've had one... Gotta get that fixed soon.
19Philthy16 on
+1 for Augustiner! Edelstoff is one of my alltime favourites!
Yoschi29 on
I like nearly every beer except of the really crappy cheap ones here in Germany that are sold in plastic bottles. But yeah as MasterDeath said: If it's cold and tastes like beer I enjoy it.
My favorite is nevertheless from the brewery here in south-western Germany that belongs to the country: Rothaus Tannenzäpfle. Tannenzapfen are those things that trees with needles have as "fruits" and the beer is a little bit over the average price but I love it. Funny thing is, my best friend also does. :D
wolfskrieger on
No beer for me. I like to drink whiskey just like water.
Nater90 on
I'm not much of a beer drinker, I prefer a aged Whiskey, Scotch, or Brandy.
Rum is also good.
But I am a Stout fan, I would happily blow the froth off a few Guinness'
Steelforce97 on
2 mexican beers: Victoria and Leon.
1 german beer: Erdinger.
Yoschi29 on
Haha Erdinger is one of the most commercial ones here. If you like it you have to try out some others. :D
Steelforce97 on
Haha sure is, but here in Mexico i have no idea where to buy more german beer :(
Regd on
Belgian beer supremacy. Only Gulden Draak.
MasterDeath on
Nothing special but it's tasty of course. Pretty expensive beer. I drank 0,75L bottle few weeks ago and I was buying 0,33L ones about 6-8 years ago when they were in stores for 2€, now they're around 5€.
I absolutely agree with ya about the Belgian beers! One beer better than the another, and all are great. Belgian and German beers are top-notch
Regd on
Just last weekend I left 50 € at the bar, spent it on belgian beer of course. Gulden Draak just happens to be my favourite.
Chainbreaker on
Hell yeah Gulden Draak! Excellent taste, man! Also Mc Chouffe, Cuvee des Trolls, Karmeliet, Duvel, Westmalle, Ciney, Chimay,...
Regd on
All of those are great, I recommend Celis White, you should try it, it's one of my favourites aswell. P.S. Pour a 0,5 of Celis White and put a piece of lime in there. I'd like to know if you liked it later.
Chainbreaker on
Will definitively give it a try. Thanks for the advice!
BeefCakeAssThrash on
Cheap stuff, expensive stuff.. I'll drink anything! All beer is beautiful.. except for the alcoholfree ones, that is.
Skullfucking Ar... on
Only Hansa Pils, Adelskrone, Paderborner and Turmbräu! :v
MasterDeath on
Hansa is a cheap but a good beer. Gotta love 'em all!
DisgustingSemla on
Big fan of different craft beers, but from the bigger breweries I'd say Krusovice Cerne,
Jaybe666 on
wheat beer: Maisel's Weisse, Hacker P'schorr Hefe Weisse, Kösslarn Ur-Weisse, Franziskaner Hefe-Weisse, Weihenstephaner Hefe-Weisse, Schneider Weisse...
Zipfer, Wieslburger, Augustiner, Tegernseer, Freistädter
MasterDeath on
Hacker P'schorr is really good!
Jaybe666 on
hell yeah
Hárbarðr on
Schneider Weisse is really nice as well!
Edit: several months later, I tried Weihenstephaner Kellerbier, absolutely superb!
SAATANANVITTU on
The best beer I ever tasted: Samuel Smith's organic chocolate stout. A truly different experience. Something to enjoy with good music, really savour the taste and not to get drunk on.
On the note of what's my favourite affordable and easily accessible beer: Amstel, Jupiler, Karjala, any standard not-too-expensive beer basically. But I'll drink anything!
BeefCakeAssThrash on
while we're on the subject... when are we gonna get nice and hammered again?
SAATANANVITTU on
Well your birthday is upcoming... and I guess we should celebrate that (and carnaval!)?
Nater90 on
Oh you two ;)
alla2465 on
Well, don't forget that the whole crew needs to get hammered next month... Man, I really miss you guys haha
BeefCakeAssThrash on
owyeah :D
Antonio on
I usually drink Augustiner Helles on draught, in my favourite pub.
cambotero on
Xibeca, Voll-Damm, Grolsch.
sandmanforce on
I prefered the czech beers. My favourite is Gambrinus. Another fav, the austrian schwechater.
Jaybe666 on
schwechater is very cheap and a lot of people don't like it, but I think it's not that bad
I always have Schwechater or Ottakringer in my fridge, kind of my standard equipment :P
judascrust on
a few others I've tried and enjoyed a lot:
la fin du monde
wells banana bread beer - very tasty!!!
Samuel smiths oatmeal stout
wolfskrieger on
Tankard is the only band I will drink beer with.
Razmachine on
Hobglobin and The Trooper are my absolute favorites. But I mostly drink regular lager since that's the one available usually.
alla2465 on
Best beer I have had? Hmmmm, this one is hard, but if there is one beer, that I never get "tired of" is Tuborg Classic.To pick a favorite beer is really hard.. So I will just leave it at that I guess
Heinz on
I'm a fan of ales myself. One of the coolest ones was something available back in the late 90s; Sam Adams Triple Bock. It was more a wine or even a liqueur than a beer, made to be sipped from a brandy or wine glass, room temp. Not carbonated. Can't get that any more :(
Lyx on
Naabecker, Eichhofener and the all time classic Augustiner
stefke on
JUPILER!
Hárbarðr on
Don't know which is the best i've ever had, but i quite like Hertog Jan tripel and Grand Prestige, Maredsous tripel, many from Kunstmann and Kross, and La Chouffe. Oh, and for this time of the year, Pilsner Urquell is a perfect thirst-quencher!
KamikazeKris on
Awww yeah. Definitely Grand Prestige. If you ever have the chance. Visit the Hertog Jan brewery. They have you sample Grand Prestige at most of the stages of brewing. And in the end you get a nice glass from their vaults. As it turns out. GP gets a sort of wine like quality when it gets older. Absolutely brilliant.
Hárbarðr on
That sounds great, thanks for the tip, i shall do it whenever i get my ass up there.
Kathulex on
Tomislav and Lowenbrau because they are cheap and available. However, my favorite beer is Judas but that one is pretty rare. Never saw it outside of Spain.
Kastelan on
Why not "Pivo" beer or "Deep" beer?
hateandwhiskey on
Free beer is always the best regardless of brand or temperature. Always enjoy a cold PBR, but my money lately has been on Natty Daddy 25oz cans for 99 cents. 8% alcohol. Was drinking Steel Reserve at 8.1%alc but the Natty Daddy's got the extra ounce. I'm looking forward to Trooper becoming more accessable. Really like BADASS lager when I'm feeling wealthy.
Attle on
Wheat beer
GREXUMER on
Mexican: Modelo, Indio, Bohemia.
American: Miller Lite and Pabst Blue Ribbon.
German: Franziskaner
19Philthy16 on
If you have a chance, try Beer from the Ruhrpott Area: Moritz Fiege, Brinkhoff's No.1, Schlegel or even Königs Pilsener! Can recommend them all! God, now I'm thirsty!^^
19Philthy16 on
One Beer I'll never forget is Schlenkerla Rauchbier from Bamberg. Bought a bottle in local store, as I was trying every beer they had. I asked the shopowner if he had any recommendations, and he gave me this one and just said: It tastes like bacon! He also said, I should buy two bottles at least. The first sips tastes really weird, but if you finish it, you defenitly want more: And he was right! One of the most amazing beer I ever drank!
Totally worth a try! I was even told from a friend in the states, that some special stores have it!
Hárbarðr on
Hell yes, Schlenkerla Rauchbier!! they sell it from time to time in a small beer shop near my house, really good stuff!!
Queen Catsie on
Mainly Heineken (I don't have access to the finer beers), but I did like Trooper quite a bit.
KamikazeKris on
There is actually not much wrong with import Heineken. A bit bland but still okay. Don't ever try the one they sell in the Netherlands themselves though. Unless you like everlasting headaches and stomach ache that is ;).
Moonbeam Monkey on
Red Stripe any day. It's cheap, it's tasty and it gets you pissed quick. ticks all the boxes!
Stormblast on
I'm not that much of a beer drinker, but if, I mostly drink Gaildorfer Spezial.
Quickalex90 on
I love Guiness and Warsteiner the best
SHREDDER S47 on
Holy fuck this thread caught on. It's good to see all the quality beers being listed. SO many I've never heard of. I really want to try trooper. I have no clue whether or not it is available in my region
kereealazer on
If you can order from Bevmo.com they sell it. Major liquor store in California. It says you can ship on their website but don't know if they ship out of state.
Daniel Sodomaniac on
Big fan of Guinness, Jack D, Makers Mark, Jim Beam + coke, Coffee and whiskey to :).
Any cold lager beer is works to.
Nater90 on
I'm rather partial to Irishing up my coffee ;)
Mate of mine used to work at a coffee shop, Got asked at 9:00am by a customer with a hip-flask to put it in!
kereealazer on
BLUE MOON! Blue Moon Black Berry Tart Ale! Kona Big Wave, Schlitz, Grain Belt, Moosehead
Can't wait to try many more beers :D
Bert on
German beers are my favourite, mostly pils like Jever, Rothaus, Augustiner, Hopner, Furstenberg, Auerbräu, Andex, ecc.... even Paulaner and Bitburger were great in the past
longe666 on
Rochefort 10, Black damnation, prearis quadrupel, Chimay Blue, Augustijn, ...... Mostly dark Belgian Beers.
slaytanicarmy666 on
I love alot of different beers, but i dont care for budweiser. I usually drink labatt blue or molson canadian. Other favorites are Newcastle Brown Ale, Sam Adams octoberfest, Coors banquet, and Stroh's.
Claudandus on
Local and cheap brews mostly. Småland, Åbro Export, Fagerhult and the likes.
But if the economy allows it I'm more of a stout guy.
grime81 on
im a cider drinker!
BuriedUnderAFuc... on
Eh, i like mostly everything except mexican beer but if i had to choose my favourit would be a tuborg :3
Pommesgabel666 on
I hate beer! Taste like shit! I drink Whiskey - Cola
nwobhmbanger on
Alcoholic beverages can fuck off. Nothing pisses me off more than seeing an intoxicated bitch ruining all the fun.
butcheredalive on
I like pretty much any beer except IPA’s and Corona Familiar, though Modelo is my favorite
SILVERGHOST on
Jupiler all the time
Otherwise I am wine taster , especially Italian red wine
Absolute no go Maes and Heineken , taste like cat piss
bad_american1992 on
Weihenstephaner is the only "Wei" to go!
Thane on
Fuck beer... all of it tastes bad. Rum, Whiskey, and Vodka are the way to go. Especially mixed in with Cola or Dr. Pepper. Smooth and a quick buzz
MetalBrewer on
I'm from a brewery town, so I'm a fan of our local beers - Bass and Pedigree!
I'll try any beer once, especially when I'm abroad, try what the locals drinks, etc.
UnsafeAtAnySpeed on
Favorite: Probably Löwenbräu, 1664, Falcon and Norrlands Guld.
What i usually buy: This shit, because it's the cheapest beer you can get at the Swedish liquor store, if you don't want to go to the regular grocery store which only sells 3,5 proof beer at the highest.
sandmanforce on
All Czech stuff :) plus Hungarian Palinka
