i don't even drink beer but shouldn't pilsner urquell (sp?) be on a grocery store beer list?

[MelchyBeau]

I've been waiting for this to come out all month. It finally hit my grocery store three days ago and I've had two six packs since then. Yum.

Stone Rules!

And Sierra is good, but how is it running away with this poll?

[Skipbidder]

Goose Island "Demolition" (seasonal, a Belgian ale, might be regional to Chicago)

Newcastle Brown Ale

Sam Smith's Nut Brown Ale (Taddy Porter is nice too, and technically an ale...these may not be available at your grocery store.)

(Newcastle is always available at my local grocery store, and cheaper than the other two.)

Yeah, wow. How this one definitely should have been on the list. Very common and very, very delicious!

You guys get this in the US? Bah, I thought that was one of the British Isles' great treasures, never to be taken /images/graemlins/frown.gif

You don't get Guinness too, do you /images/graemlins/mad.gif

Of course we do. You probably would claim that it doesn't taste the same, however.

[/ QUOTE ]
Because its so much more widely distributed than many other beers. We just got Bridgeport here a couple weeks ago, in the grocery stores at least.

My "other" vote was for Guinness.

You are obviously from the northwest but waht is available in grocery stores varies widely.

In Columbus Ohio there was never anything better than guinness available in a grocery store. Top 3 were probably guinness corona and newcastle, but I never did my beer shopping at the grocery store for that reason.

In Vegas the best selection I've seen outside Lee's is maybe Fat Tire, Pyramid Curveball and Pyramid Hefeweizen.

In Seattle the standard obviosuly goes way way up. Sunshine wheat, Rogue Dead Guy Ale, The new belgium trippel perhaps.

dead guy ale

Most of that stuff we dont have. We do get though, a lot of local micro's, which is awesoem. Sam Adams Cherry Wheat, Guiness, and Nut Brown, are probably my 3 top non-micro's that I can reasonably expect to get at any grocery store.

You know New Belgium isn't a Seattle brewey, right? Those should be available in most states west of the Mississippi.

[jaydub]

where?

wow, cherry wheat, I didn't even realize they still made that.

[Chobohoya]

I voted "other" for Samuel Smith Nut Brown Ale, but I've really been digging Red Hook IPA lately. Also, someone mentioned that Porters are Ales? I'm pretty sure that while they are similar, you definitely can't say they are the same. If they were, I would add Anchor Porter to this list.

anyone from northwest knows the answer is mirropond and bridgeport

[KDawgCometh]

went with esb(I'm assuming that this is fuller's esb, which is a great beer), Sierra Nevada, and other. FOr the other, its really a toss up between Tetley's and Boddington's. BOth are favorites of mine

[Paluka]

My wife bought something called Old Rasputin something or other. The label had an awesome picture of Rasputin. Seemed worth drinking no matter how it tasted.

[/ QUOTE ]

All beer is either a lager or an ale. The difference is in the way it is brewed, not the taste, color, etc. Pilsner Urquell is (surprise!) a pilsner, which is a kind of lager.

Pretty much everything else being discussed here (including stout, porter, Belgians, etc.) are ales.

Neither is Rogue. I do know it wasn't available in ohio anywhere, and isn't available here in the grocery store (but is avaialble at Lee's Discount Liquor)

I could have listed portland as a city I lived in but the availability is essentially the same and I was underage the whole time I lived there.

[shant]

I drank some Fat Tire today. I love that [censored].

New Castle has been here for a while. In recent years, the quality has slipped badly while they've tried to make their dent in the US market.
