What beer is in your fridge right now?

[thevoice]

We haven't had one of these threads in awhile so figured I'd start one. For me, there's about 2/3 of a 12 pack of Sierra Nevada Tumbler and 3 cans of Buckbean Tule Duck Red Ale.

[student4ever]

Moose Drool, Alaskan Amber, Kroenenburg, Black Butte Porter, Trader Joes Bavarian Lager, and some Tecate. I'm sure there are more, but those are what I can remember off the top of my head.

None. I've been drinking wine or scotch. Sterling Chardonnay is in the fridge right now.

Some kind of gluten free beer my wife drinks, but I do have a variety pack of Sam Adams Winter selections in my garage that I have yet to put in my fridge because I think my garage might be colder right now.

[thevoice]

For me, that's the best part about winter. There's always plenty of cold beer in the garage!

[PACKFAN22]

50 bottles of a home brewed sierra nevada style pale ale. some coors light for my father in law. i also have a 5 gallon carboy of a hefewiezen home brew waiting to be bottled

Ah scotch......Glenlivet...:p

[LMoneyFresh]

None at the moment, but next time I buy some it'll probably be sierra nevada celebration ale. IPAs are my thing, and that's a good one. I have also been filling my great basin growlers with icky and esb when I get the chance.

A 6-pack of Lagunitas Brown Shugga' - a great beer for the winter season.

Speaking of Sierra Nevada, have you guys tried their 30th Anniversary Ale? I'm not a huge fan of Sierra (too malty for my taste) but they really hit the mark on that one.

Too malty? I've always found Sierra on the hoppy side. Are you an Anchor Steam fan? I find that stuff to be the hoppiest stuff around and far too much so for my tastes. Though it's been awhile since I last drank one, I believe Lagunitas' brews fall on the very hoppy side too.

I've got some Full Sail Amber Ale parked in the fridge and a seasonal brew from that I like. It might even be the Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale. On the next beer to buy list is a four pack of Old Rasputin Imperial Stout. Great stuff!

On the whole, though, I've become a big wine drinker in the past couple of years, so my beer consumption has gone way down.:( You can only consume so much booze, unless you're ready to develop a Santa Clause belly, and I'm not quite ready for that yet.

I'm a hop head through and through; so I love my IPAs. Anchor Steam is very good for it's style - though I tend to stay away from lagers. Old Rasputin definitely tops my list as far as Imperial Stouts go - their X Anniversary Barrel-Aged Stout is out of this world and is a must try if you're a fan of good Bourbons, but it's definitely a sipper.

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is fairly hoppy for Pale Ale standards but the trademark I've noticed with most Sierra Nevada brews (even their hop monster of a Barley Wine - Bigfoot) is a distinct biscuit/malty/toasty aftertaste that lingers a little too long for my taste buds. I do, however, enjoy their 30th Anniversary, their Harvest (fresh hop ale), the Tornado IPA, and a concoction I've been introduced to over here called the Big P (1/2 Bigfoot and 1/2 Pale Ale).

If you haven't noticed yet I'm a bonafide beer geek...I love my beer and have been home brewing for about 5 years now - not quite at "Santa Clause belly" yet but I'm getting there. :cool:

Maybe that malty note is why I like most of Sierra Nevada's offerings despite not being a hop head, though I have noticed in the past two years that I like hoppy brews more than I used to.

Home brewing is something I want to do at some point, probably at the same time I finally harvest enough apples from my orchard to make a batch of hard cider. I'll be asking for help when that time comes, but until then it's just one more hobby I'm not yet ready to go all in on as I have too many already.

Dude I am still do mad at you for not being black!!' jackass!!!!

[wolf_chatter]

Smithwick's, Samuel smiths stout, and for the homo's that come over that can't handle a real beer I have fosters lager.

[NVinVA]

I'm stocked up on Sam's Octoberfest, it's one of my favorite seasonals. I also have about 6 Sierra Nevada Tumblers from the 12-pack I bought. It's OK, but probably won't buy again.

Another favorite of mine is Trout Slayer, but I'm not sure if they sell that out East or not... haven't ran into it yet. Moose Drool by the same brewery is also fantastic.

[Nosebleed]

Beer snob here too, down to about a halfa sixer of Brown Shuga from Lauginitas and my home brews on tap. Nice little pale ale, a robust porter and a big "not for the pale" ale, that goes down nicely once you can get your mouth around it.

They have trout slayer on a draft at a local place in Cali.

[pfan8]

I believe I've got some Coors Light and Dos Equis for the commoners. Also got some Rogue Dead Guy (a personal favorite), Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat, Anchor Steam and some Land Shark. We also have a pale ale and porter from Ruby Mountain Brewery on tap.

[EZRowdy]

Currently have Downtown Brown by the Lost Coast guys and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

[Nevadan]

I am a fan of brown ales how is the DTB?

And can you get it at bens?

[shewolf11]

Budweiser. Which I never, never, never drink. It's only there because a girlfriend brought a case over for a party for some colleagues at my house. She said, "I would drink Bud Light but Budweiser gets you drunk faster and I had a rough day."

[Arlito]

currently have a homebrew kegerator on tap with a traditional ale (for my wife), a cream stout, a coconut porter that has some terrible after taste that I can't figure where it came from, and two empty taps. I also have a Sam Adams winter selection 24 pack and a Red Hook ESB 12-pack in the garage. Red ale in the fermenter.

[student4ever]

Just added Beltian White from the Harvest Moon Brewery. It's supposed to be their best beer, but after the first one, I'd recommend no one else bother.

[backthatpack]

Blue Moon will be in my fridge in fifteen minutes.....
