I realized we don't really have a way of sharing Beers we like with team members which seemed ridiculous given it's one of the things that bring us together.
Tonight's delicious pick, New Belgium's 1554 Enlightened Black Ale:
Excuse the phone image; too lazy to get the camera. Very good dark ale, like a chocolate stout but more drinkable than average for beers of this nature.
Recommended for: Chilly weather when you want a good dark beer that doesn't drink like a meal.
I'm going to take one more stab at this thread:
Two nights ago, I had a 330ml bottle of Leffe Belgian blonde at Burgers and Brew. My decision regarding this beer was easy as I'd had it on tap a couple of months ago in San Francisco. Relatively speaking, this is a pretty common Belgian beer and is probably 'readily' available to anyone who spent any time at all trying to find it.
It is an excellent and very drinkable beer. It has a bit of honey flavor and lots of fruity undertones. After a second try at it, I think think this is my 2nd fav. blonde next to the Moinette beer from Brasserie Dupont. It was hard to order only just one! The burger, chili fries, and company were all fantastic as well.
I have been sipping root beer and drinking vicariously through the rest of you. I think we should have a team gathering at Burgers and Brew once the season starts.
+1 for Burgers and Brew Markus! I have been alternating between Trader Joe's natural "vintage" cola and Full Sail Amber - so nothing exotic to add. However the Full Sail "LTD" summer brew is pretty good.
I'm down for a Burgers & Brew meet-up. I'm trying to cut out most of my casual drinking and save it for special events so I don't have too much to add to the beer discussion these days.
Coors light (cause it let's me know when its cold) or Scrimshaw Pilsner have been making in to the fridge on these hot days lately.
The Alaskan Summer Ale is killer this time of the year too, but it's hard to find.
+1 for scrimshaw! It's the only pilsner I truly love. Gonna have to give that Alaskan Summer a try....
I just enjoyed a Peroni (Italian beer) while watching the F1 Grand Prix. Very smooth and no headache.
