Re: Name three beers worth trying.

Only 2 of those are beers, the other is a lager. [/ QUOTE ] Lager is a kind of beer. Beer has two major subdivisions, lagers and ales, depending on the fermentation process and the type of yeast. Lager is a beer made with a bottom-fermenting yeast, and is fermented at cooler temperatures (50-55F) and for a longer period. Ale is made with top-fermenting yeast, and is fermented for a shorter period of time at around room temperature. BTW, my three favorite beers are all brewed in my basement. No contest.

Re: Name three beers worth trying.
way to chill ales: wait for a good snowfall and thrust the bottles into a snowbank outside your door or window.

Half the guys in my regular home game are in a brewers club, and many of the best beers and ales I've ever tasted are at our games.

Re: Name three beers worth trying.
The best beer I ever had was in the Guiness brewery in Dublin (or anywhere in the Emerald Isles for that matter.)
For some reason, it doesnt travel well at all. Cans are closer to the real taste, but not near as good. Second place is a beer brewed in Alberta by Big Rock Brewing. Their Traditional Ale is a masterpiece. Dont think they export tho. My third would be Red hook. Tuco.

Re: Name three beers worth trying.
Many years ago I tried a little bit of brewing at home. The interesting thing seemed to be that the brew was by far the most delicious when it was only about half-done. After that it lost much of the rich complex flavor and gained sharpness as the alcohol content rose.

Oh, and maybe a Tecate in a can with some huevos rancheros at 8:00 AM. [/ QUOTE ] Or warm DOS EQUIS in a can with some C-rations at 3 AM. Not generally recommended, but if you're just glad (and lucky) to be alive, it hits the spot....
