    A huge pet peeve of mine is when I order a Sam Adams (or other brand of beer that has multiple styles) at a bar/restaurant, and the server brings me whatever the seasonal Sammy (or whatever brand I ordered) they happen to have on tap. There is a big difference between a Sammy lager (which is what I wanted) and a Sammy Winter Brew, Summer Ale (etc). I'm not saying they are bad beers, but they are indeed completely different beers. It's the same as giving a someone a Chardonnay of some brand of wine, when they ordered a Merlot.

    OK, I'm now getting off my soap box now and returning the thread to its rightful owner.
    I don't have that problem around here...they always ask which SA I want...
    What I do hate is when the put it in a cold, frosted mug/glass...
    I have to remember to ask for a room temperature glass...

        Ha...well I have to admit I'm a recent convert to beer snobbery...after my Doc limited my beer intake last year, I educated myself and started drinking the good stuff...

        A week from tomorrow I'll be heading up Fennimore way with the Nardy crew...

            Try their Uff-da Bock if someone has it and give your opinion........

            ....and of course if someone has Capital Maibock, that works for me.

              10w40 is a little light...........well, unless it's seasoned by a couple thousand miles.

                I have always enjoyed Fat Tire from the New Belgium Brewing Company. My buddy lived in Colorado for a few years and would always bring me a treat back around the holidays. Not sure if it's available yet east of the Mississippi but its a great tasting beer. Here is a link if anyone is interested. www.newbelgium.com/beer/fat-tire

                  I believe that was one of the beers I sampled while visiting my brother in Colorado.

                  I had to be a super light drinker as my blood really didnt adjust to the altitude till we left.

                  I had a hard time killing that 12 pack over a long weekend.

                    I became a beer snob after a trip to Germany with my wife. Hands down the best beer I ever tasted in my life was in Bavaria. (If you ever get a chance to try Altenmunster (Helles Lager), do it.......very tasty). Anyway, drinking good beer can be very expensive, so I started homebrewing. Good beer on the cheap, and it's fun.

                          There are a lot of great beers right in your back yard, one of them is from the Berkshire Brewing Company (BBC) located in South Deerfield, Mass. Their "Steel Rail Extra Pale Ale" is my favorite, a very smooth brew! I also like the Paper City Brewing Company's INDIA'N PALE ALE IPA (their website calls it "a classic rendition of the Style named after another one of the owners passions, the Indian Motorcycle. The bikes were fabricated in nearby Springfield Ma and at one time rivaled Harley Davidson. Jay's collection of antique bikes can be seen in Paper City's tasting room.") PCBC is located in Holyoke, Mass. I've seen those bikes, they're really cool!!

                          Here are their websites (http://www.berkshirebrewingcompany.com/ and http://www.papercity.com/), you can find them in most packies and even a few local grocery stores. Cheers!!

                            me I'm a steam beer lover. Anchor Brewery S.F. , CA Ben franklin liked it too.

                            Burned out on fat tire -FT collins is a fun place

                            like My own beer better. red brit ale , jalapeno brew, coffee in my stout recipe.

                            been working on ciders for last 3 years. the trick is getting it sweet without using potassium sorbate.
                            SUZUKI , There is no substitute

                              Yea we have lots of micro brews local, even a place a few towns over in Southbridge thats a brew pub. Been there a few times to see my friends Blues band play, always a great combination.

                              Got a trip to the packie line up on my ride home tonight, think its a rum and coke night. Can get a handle and 2 - 2 liters in the sissy bar bag easy enough.

                              Brother passed his Network + certification test so its time to party.

                                I am sure you have gotten the gist of the safety-related replies, but just wanted to point out that just because you are below the legal limit does not mean that you are not impaired.

                                You may be comfortable with the low amount you have drunk ("Two beers on my 220lb frame is nothing"), but tests have shown that mechanical skills are definitely affected when you are well below the legal limit. In fact, part of the impairment is the process of thinking you are alright.
