Beer Snobs Unite (Beer 101)

Personally I have just recently started to enjoy a nice beer (MGD,Bud Lite,etc don't count)... It all started with a Warsteiner Dunkle about 3 years ago and now has grown into trying anything I can get my hands on to (prefer stuff from the states). All that being said, I am still a MAJOR noob and would love some insight...

Currently enjoying
Stone Brewery Levitation
and
Oaked Arrogant Bastard

Let the Beer 101 begin!

edit: Dammit, can a mod please edit it to say SNOBS, not SNOOBS

What are you looking for?

I personally enjoy IPA's.

My fav. is Russian River Pliny the Elder


I also enjoy Dogfish head 90 min. IPA, still trying to get the 120 min.

Dogfish is good... Love the label on the doggy style (the story on the back)

I am open to trying whatever, hard part is finding them (anyone have good online source)...

Would love to start a beer of the month club on TS, maybe we send 6 packs out to those involved so we can try things we might not be able to find

This is one of my favorite beers. Its called Hoptical Illusion and, its from Bluepoint Brewing Company. I live close to this brewery , imo they have some of the best "craft beers" available. Dogfish is awesome too, but if you get a chance try this brew. The hops will creep up on ya!

Ptrans,

Would love to swap some six packs sometimes... We don't have many "amazing" breweries down here, but a few that have some killer seasonal beers

I like a good Konings Hoeven Quadruple Ale from time to time.

Ptrans mentioned a good one. Blue Pointe makes some great beers. My personal favorite that they offer is the Toasted Lager.

My favorite beer is Delirium Tremens. Delirium Noctorum is a great one as well.

I mentioned the other day that I had "Wells Banana Bread", which was delicious as well.

I too try to taste as many beers as possible. Always like trying new ones.

Other great ones are Chimay, Duvel, Purple Haze, Leffe, and Golden Monkey.

Hell of a first post... but.. it caught my eyes! lol. After just doing my first brew with a friend of mine..i've found some of the best beers are the ones you'd never guess to try...

Dogfish Head has a bunch of amazing beers - from the 60,90,120minute ipa's, to their Midas Touch and Indian Brown Ale.

Flying Dog and Purple Haze are some other Micro brew's that are coming out with some good beers as they grow too. But as GetLiquid mentioned, Chimay is an awesome beer, Harp + Guinness or Cider + Guinness,London Pride..I'd have to get out my list of beers i've tried and I could update with some more lol.

If you have a Total Wine around - i'm sure their far and in between but we have a couple here in SFLA and they have an entire row dedicated to single beers where you can make your own 6 pack etc... over 500+ beers.
