What's your go-to Beer?

[Hugh Conway]

so she has a bend over boyfriend?

[the Cock]

Sicks is Cock's girlfriend.

These are the days of our lives.

[bfree]

Pryamid Outburst - best taste per alcohol ratio for a reasonable price
Alaskan Amber - longtime favorite/classic

[sb]

My favorite beer is the cold one in my hand soon to be in mah belly or what ever is in the kegerator.

[hutash]

No real go to beer, but lately I keep Newcastle in the frig.

Closest thing maybe Coors Light in bottles, at least it is what we drink after a long ride. Basically beer flavored water. I hardly call it beer.

The goods news is you can always find something decent, even in a twelve dog town, so there is no reason to drink crap beer like Bud, Miller, PBR, or Coors, budget excepted.

Simple for me, Wasatch Devastor, 9.5 alcohol, don't have to drink more than two

[Sluff]

Summit EPA. Works year round.

[iscariot]

Feeling flush: Tall Timber.

Feeling cheap: Caribou.

[bendtheski]

New Belgium Ranger IPA, alternate with Red Hook Long Hammer IPA, or Big Sky IPA.

Occasionally I'll take a break from IPA's and go for some ice cold Heinekens, especially after a long, hot bike ride.

[That was Pontus]

you should try the Mt Begbie Nasty Habit IPA.... deliciousness. I've had a few lately, comes in 750ml bottles so a perfect excuse to collect more bottles for homebrew!

NBC is my favorite Canadian beer by a long way. In Australia its Coopers, Sparking or Extra Stout.
Occasionally the Coopers Sparkling can be found in BC, has a wanky kangaroo & French label here but its cheaper than in Australia!!!

I've been scared off of Begbie after living in Golden for a couple of winters and it was always on special at the Taps. Always skunky and I expected the shits the next morning to come to life... Haven't given it a fair shot since, might have to give the IPA a chance.

BTW good bump...

Cheap party beer - Bud Light
Summer day beer - Odell's Double Pilsner (Solid 4 pack complete.)
Best local IPA - Surly Furious

[jamesp]

I've had one or 2 skunky pints at the Taps also.... but I'm a sucker for beer on tap, seems 'special' after drinking bottled beer at home all the time.

Dirty keg lines that are never cleaned quickly ruin the nicest of beers.

[jm2e]

1. Odells IPA - Could be the perfect IPA, if not the perfect beer.
2. Odells Myrcenery - IPA on steroids. Like the Hashish of Hops.
3. Odells Cutthroat Porter - I thought they had really perfected this beer on the first try, then I had one at the brewery on tap with Nitrogen. Holy Shit that was smooooooove.
4. Odells 90 Schilling - The original. By the third one it starts tasting like apple juice. If I was stuck with one beer for the rest of my life, I would be inclined toward 90.

edit to clarify - now that I'm in NC, there is no Odells. I'm constantly surprised by how many micro brews are available here, and scratching my head that I haven't found one that I can really fall for. My current go-to is Ranger. It's decent, familiar and for whatever reason usually sells cheaper than the other micros at my local grocery store.

1. +1

3. +/-
4. +++1
5. Odell brewing FTW

[nesta]

a lotta different beer graces my fridge, but the go to is Kootenay.
I'm about to go have one right about now.

[The AD]

Pryamid Outburst - best taste per alcohol ratio for a reasonable price

It's pretty good. Drink a 22 oz bottle and you can definitely feel it.

[jahoney]

Newcastle brown ale if I feel like spending

PBR if I'm broke as a joke

IPAs are some of my favorites for their get you drunk factor but newcastle just hits the spot that no other beer can

[CookieMonster]

Kokanee, but I am not allowed to drink at home.

[smartyiak]

Magic Hat - preferrable 'Circus Boy', but 'No. 9' is pretty solid. Yes, this is a go-to beer...life's too short to drink shitty beer!

[mobygrape]

smuttynose, IPA or shoals pale, depending on my mood. Usually have a few of these kicking around.

I don't think the Taps clean their lines often or properly or something, as I've had the same experience with most of the beers they serve.

Goto the Trapper, or better yet the Idiot in Revy. The same beers taste much better, and will give you a better shot at tasting the actual beer instead of line scuzz. I used to hang at the Taps, but then I tried elsewhere and same the beer was much better. All IMHO of course.

Tall Timber is an awesome brew, as is most of the other Begbie stuff.
