Oh and, do you have to use a glass barrel? I kind of like the archaic old idea of oak or something...just more a rustic guy I geuss.

I like my beer in the 7% range myself, mild enough to get teh flavour, strong enough for me not to be wasting my time drinking it :D

I live in Alberta. Vancouver is a wonderful place to live, but can be pricey as far as living is concerned.

I don't know if you HAVE to use a glass barrell, but I do know that glass is much more sanitary than wood. You don't want a beer that tastes "woody", unless you like that. Wine is more suitable in oak barrells than beer, as that what most wines were brewed in for centuries and still to this day.

I want to make my own whiskey and learn about it one day. Laws be damned! I'm gonna make my own damn whiskey in a barrel, and I'm gonna drink it all up.

I love a good Microbrew. Lately I've been drinking a lot of something called Red Seal Ale from the North Coast Brewery out here in Cal.

I used to do the homebrew thing as well. Nochowder is right, its pretty easy to make a really good beer and a lot of fun too. I used to do it all the time with a buddy of mine. We went in 50/50 on the equipment. Only prob was I left the country for a year or so and when I got back he had split with the stuff. Shithead. I'm thinking of staring again though. I'll have to give my wife some hints around X-mas time

Anyone ever been to a microbrew festival? They're awesome. You pay like $10-$15 and get a small (6-8oz)glass and a bunch of "tasting tickets" The last one I went to had about 50 breweries, each with 4-5 different beers. They're only supposed to give you a little taste for each ticket but they almost always fill your glass to the top. Usually you end up getting really fucked up by the time your done. Definitely worth cehcking out.

I brew my own beer as well so I don't buy much anymore. I make about 65 bottles woth of beer every 8 weeks or so. I make it as strong as I want, and costs only $15 for a beer kit to produce the 65 bottles. Yah...:D

Im quite partial to a 'speckled hen' too, but theres also loads of other real ales like that all over Britain - Bishops finger, IPA and Spitfire special are some of the ones iv tried!!

I dont mind the odd lager too ill drink any - Stella Artois, Fosters, Kronenberg, Carlsberg Export etc but i draw the line at Super T and Special Brew!!! lol

I'm more of stout drinker really so Guiness and Murpheys tends to be my posion but ale wish Hobgoblin's pretty nice or any of the Cains range except Mild.

You don't know what you're missing with the old super lager, might I recomend Skol Super.

groltch.

My favorite Sierra Nevada is their porter and bigfoot. I like their Hefeweizen too...shit pale ale is good too.

Dammnit theres too many great ones. I am obsessed with Sierra Nevada.

Millstream Brewery In Amana, Iowa. they brew all authentic german kinds of beer ive tried a few of them and i liked them. very heavy beers. but i got german blood in me so i can handle it.

Anyone like Snakebite?

Grolsch? OR whatever? The green stuff that comes in the cool bottle? In a 22? Yeah that stuff is rad.
