> [@pulykamell](#): > > A New Belgium Abbey ale. I’ve stayed away from New Belgium beers for quite a while now (not a fan of Fat Tire), but I actually enjoy this one. I’ll have to try the Tripel next. I like many, if not most of the New Belgium brews I have tried, but I have never understood how Fat Tire (the least appealing beer they brew IMHO) became their flagship brew. If youi like lambics, New Belgium does a great job on a dark kriek (cherry) which is up there with some of the actual Belgian krieks that I have tried… ---

I wish we could get New Belgium over here… Anyway, I’m currently drinking Troeg’s Java Head. It’s a stout brewed with coffee, and tastes nothing like what I thought it would. It’s okay. Before that, it was 21st Amendment’s Fireside Chat, a “spiced winter ale”. Outrageously good. ---

And by “Budweiser,” I mean my “everyday, drinkable beer.” [It](http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/29/31731) [is](http://tellmewhatsitallmean.blogspot.com/2009/01/michelob-porter-beer-review.html) [Michelob](http://www.thebrewsite.com/2007/11/13/michelob-porter.php) [Porter.](http://truebrews.blogspot.com/2009/06/michelob-porter.html) Now, before anyone gets persnickity over my overuse of cites, I’m forestalling the inevitable tide of beer snobs who will descend to tell me my taste in beer is one step below skunk piss for choosing such a mass-produced generic-market swill to drink. They will hold forth on the merits of numerous micro and craft brews which are infinitely superior to the ambrosia of the Ancient Gods, and if a stoopid neandethal such as myself would simply elevate myself from such bourgeois mendacity to try any of these (almost entirely unavailable to me locally) Beverages of Greater Beings, then I would promptly pour my mass-produced swill down the toilet (a far better fate than it deserves!) and forever adhere to _their_ choice of suds. But they will have overlooked my general point: this is my “Budweiser.” It’s my everyday, go-to, _ **affordable** _, drinkable, _ **available** _ beer. Not the specialty craft-brew or import I select when I want a “cut above.” Not the locally made, award-winning stuff I trot out to impress family and friends with my “refined, sophisticated palate.” :rolleyes: yeah right, go ahead and pull the other one [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-are-you-drinking-right-now/559700.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-are-you-drinking-right-now/559700.md?page=5)
