Shared on Tue, 09/16/2008 - 10:49I guess in many ways I can be called a booze hound, but I prefer connoisseur. I love wines, in fact we keep a rather nice selection on hand to match almost any meal we might choose to make. I also enjoy several nice Ports. I also enjoy several varieties of Bourbon, Rum, Gin, Vodka, and I am currently developing my palette for Scotch (I like black lable, next up is Gold lable).
But in the long run, beer has always held a special place in my drinking routine. I like Guinness and most any dark beer, I am also a big fan of lagers. But given the choice I will normally focus on the micro brews, beer that has not been filtered to death or mainstreamed to the point that I can’t walk into any bar without seeing 3 taps dedicated to it…now there is one exception that I absolutely love, and that is Yuengling. I know that there will be about half of the people reading this thinking (I’ve never heard of it) well of course you haven’t, it’s only available on the east coast (except for Georgia for some reason, at least that’s what I hear). Now, all you light beer drinkers, put down your piss water and drink something real!! It is a fantastic lager brewed a short drive from where I live. And while they make about 8 different varieties, the only one people bother with is the original. It maintains a nice balance between the Hops and barley, while it is filtered, it does maintain a very full flavor. Just hit up any bar on the east coast and ask if they have a Yuengs and Wings special, if they say no, go to a different bar!!
Now that I have spilled the beans on my favorite, it’s your turn. Tell me what your favorite is and why. Even if it is (*blech*) Miller Light.
And if everyone is good, I may have another “Hate Me” blog later.
