KilaKitu

Since I'm in Cambodia, it'll likely be a good, cold bottle of Angkor. Or three. Or seven.....

wat

maddogdelta		2012-08-04 08:14:39 AM

Shiner Bock or Guiness, depending on my mood...

Evil Mackerel		2012-08-04 08:15:25 AM

Spaten Optimator.

I think I'll be going with a New Glarus Spotted Cow

Double wide ipa by beulevard brewing in KC

Something that isn't Eco friendly... Why do the envirosnobs have to try to be such downers for a great day as this? Between them and the stupid hipsters I'll run out of beers that I like. That said... I'll probably have a couple of Yards from my Beers of the Revolution sampler... And then a Rolling Rock or 5

Opeth1429: Schneiderweisse and Franziskaner (sp?).

Naming beers is like naming indie rock bands. First one to name a beer that someone else has heard of loses.

hefeweizens ftw

pxlboy		2012-08-04 08:28:33 AM

tfresh: A nice micro brewed German Pils or Flander's red...

OH wait... you can't find one! everyone is brewing overhopped IPAs. They don't appreciate nor can correctly balance malt wiith noble hops as god intended it!!!

Stop the overhopping!!! No one wants 120 IBUs... beer shouldn't be an endurance exercise to see who can enjoy the bitterest PoS out there.

Also this.

Still have some Bell's Oberon, sour sounds like that will be my choice today.

Just a coincidence, but going to Lost Rhino and Catoctin Brewing today.

/And hit a few wineries while we're in the neighborhood

phamwaa		2012-08-04 09:52:26 AM

Blue Moon or Sierra Nevada Pale, whichever's left from today.

Nickninja		2012-08-04 09:58:35 AM

How fortuitous, my buddy just got back from England and brought me Badger's Tanglefoot ale. I've never heard of it before, so the beer snob in me is pleased.

Ima4nic8or		2012-08-04 09:59:36 AM

The juice from my wifes snooch.

Here's what I can choose from (assuming I don't drink it all today)

Canadian : Muskoka Mad Tom IPA, Great Lakes Crazy Canuck or Paddock Wood 606
American: Bell's Two Hearted, Short's Aww Jeah or something from Dogfish Head

//high five

Two years here.

So Steak and BJ Day is also International Beer Day? What a happy coincidence! Isn't it also the start of Shark Week?

12 years here, and it's no coincidence.

Vangor		2012-08-04 10:27:50 AM

Hopsecutioner as long as I do not drink it all today.

FriarReb98		2012-08-04 10:28:21 AM

Probably Sam Summer, or, if I find it, 'Gansett's summer ale that a friend told me about.

\family shindig at my sister's house later today

Homebrewed smoked oatmeal stout.

Baz the Spaz		2012-08-04 10:59:05 AM

My son-in-law reviews beers and has a blog, so we always have a fridge full of exotic beers. Although he rarely lets me try them!

He did let me try a Rogue Double Dead Guy Ale the other day. Good stuff! Maybe I can talk him out of one of those. Otherwise, I'll have a Shiner Bock or a Leinenkugal Summer Shandy.

/In case you are interested in reading his reviews: Sud Savant

NaziKamikaze		2012-08-04 11:05:37 AM

International Beer Day?

Then a Budweiser or Michelob.

/Not really
//Probably go to a local brewpub

Giltric		2012-08-04 11:09:56 AM

Tadcaster Porter.

Mouser		2012-08-04 11:17:03 AM

I have the better part of a Sam Adams (their Summer Ale--not bad, even if it is a fruity beer) 12-pack in my fridge, so I'm set.

girljen		2012-08-04 11:24:04 AM

Ellie's Brown Ale from Avery Brewing Company in Boulder, CO.

detroitdoesntsuckthatbad		2012-08-04 11:24:19 AM

I'll be cracking a bottle of the Sang Noir 2011 from Cascade Brewing.

/sour and fruit beers have been excellent lately

swiller		2012-08-04 11:24:27 AM

Saranac Black & Tan. Maybe I need to get a spare 6 today.

CapeFearCadaver		2012-08-04 11:36:16 AM

Yuengling. Only because that's all I can afford this week. Which is totally Ok, I lurves my Yuengling.

f2f		2012-08-04 11:40:52 AM

$75CAD for 6 bottles and two glasses, but well worth in snobbery points.

d1jeditech		2012-08-04 11:44:33 AM

Guinness Black Lager, or some Sam Adams Black.

Oh hey, happy surprise, I forgot I have 5 Victory Golden Monkeys left in the fridge for when I get home. That will definitely help me get a head-start on tomorrow.

albert71292		2012-08-04 12:47:14 PM

Nick Nostril: Bourbon.

ragnaroknroll		2012-08-04 12:59:59 PM

Trying a Shiner Ruby Red today with the taste of ruby red grapefruit and ginger. Not really "international" unless Texas DOES finally secede over the weekend. Pretty tasty though.

Read an article in the New Yorker couple of years ago about microbreweries and they interviewed a "Brewmeister" in Germany who said to tell the readers that Budweiser is really a very good beer.
I'm developing a taste for Murphys Stout although dark beer has never been a favorite. It's particularly creamy and smooth.

/not a beer snob
//actually likes Miller High Life..no, really, I do!
_{I feel so ashamed}

I'll be drnking H2O. I'm not an alcoholic.

horsepocket		2012-08-04 01:49:48 PM

If I can find one around, I'll be drinking a Pliny the Elder for lunch and a Stone Smoked Porter with Vanilla Bean for dinner.

Off to Bevmo and Whole Foods to see if I can find them somewhere.
