It's time to open it up to everybody. We appear to have a ton of beer lovers on XI. Time to discuss something most people here seem to love. So what are your favorites and why? Perhaps we can start an XI beer club. Edited June 13, 2012 by little_old_man vipersniper and billyblade 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Its a apple/pear cider beer from Denmark. The LCBO here in town runs out of it within 2 days of hitting the shelves. It was only recently cleared for sale in the LCBO. It has become a hit in my area since a new bar called BEERTOWN opened up serving 98 kinds of beer, Somersby being one of them. I am currently waiting for a new batch to arrive at the LCBO. So if there are any Danes here in the clan who felt like sending a Canadian a keg or two of the stuff i would be greatly appreciative LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best beer i tried was the Dortmond Gold. I've tried to get some sent over to Norway but no luck so far. Great balance of sweetness and malt taste. The x-mas Ale was also a winner, but only in small doses.... http://www.greatlakesbrewing.com/home you guys from the states need to try this.

Ale Asylum's Bedlam is a nice Belgian IPA. Their Ambergedden a solid amber. My go to summer beer is either New Glarus Spotted Cow or the Capitol Brewery's Supper Club, the former is a farmhouse ale and the latter a nice lager.

Belgium's few sources of water are no doubt fed by the effluent from Paris and suburbs which are only 200-some miles distant. Since piss clearly flows downhill, it stands to reason that Belgium beers are mostly made up of recycled French wine, which lends them a distinctive flavor and aroma.

Can't stand Bud or Miller products. Then went to Gemany and I've been spoiled ever since. Most all I drink are German beers - too many to note. But a few more readily available are Becks, St.Paulie Girl and one from the area my sister company in Germany is, Bitburger is the popular Pilsner. I can get it locally! I do like some local breweries beers, Sam Adams (closet to German beer than any) and a good summer beer is Leinenkugels Summer Shandy (they're from Wisconsin). Summer Shandy has lemonade in it, kind of like having a Corunna with the lime. Drinking one right now!! Good post topic Old Man!!
