Bump. I know next to nothing about good beer, and I want to drink something really good tomorrow night. Someone suggest something delicious and reasonably priced ( < 10 bones for a sixer). I tried Rolling Rock and Sam Addams yesterday and wasn't a huge fan of either.

Newcastle Brown Ale is both common and delicious.

Newcastle has a hint of skunkiness to it, but in a good way. I'm not really an expert on this crap.. would that be the hops?

Yeah but is it good. That Paulaner might be the best beer I have had. I also am I big fan of Abita down in New Orleans.

I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm a big fan, but Abita Amber's a pretty good little beer.

Magic Hat #9 is pretty good, but the apricot aftertaste is not for everybody. Their other varieties that I've tried are all pretty good, too, though not as distinctive.

And like the Steel Reserve, it tastes nothing like the beer you're used to. You drink it more like a port/sherry/congac. It very complex & very good. I have a bottle I plan to open at the Christmas party for the homebrew club I belong to.

Re: We need a new beer thread
 

This was my favorite beer in Europe for awhile. You can't beat fantastic taste + high alcohol content at cheap prices. In America its more expensive [obviously]. That was until they made Christmas brau near the holiday season and that quickly took the top spot. Not only does it have just a slightly better taste, but it is 12.9%. A 1/2 Litre was only 3euro at the local pub near my campus and two of those could get me well on my way for the night. Awesome. It made me cry to know they don't bottle it anywhere though.
