The Perfect Brew........!

[Backwoods Rambler]

Currently my faves in order

My very favorite. Absolutely full of flavor compared to most pale ales. Drink all night long

Light and a bit sweet, good for a light daytime drink

Easiest pale ale to find in most chain resturaunts

and occasionally I'll have one of these if I'm at a smaller resturaunt and don't want to subject myself to a bud light

Obvioulsy I like the lighter beers



If I'm being honest though, I much prefer a few of these with a coke.

Disclaimer, none of these pics are mine. I took them all from google searches

Ahaha trust an Aussie of Irish descent to make his first post on these forums about alcohol.

But anyhoo, my last dozen or so weekend camping trips (usually manage to get away once a week or once a fortnight at the least) I've just been sharing a liter bottle of Jim Beam with my mate. Pretty simple, but with a little bit of cola it's bloody brilliant at the end of a good day.

Then again, on our extended trips I do enjoy bringing 2 or 3 slabs (Aussie for a 24pack carton) of beer.
Mainly stick with:
Redback wheat beer:

Crown Larger:

to be chased down with a slab of Bondi Blonde:

Usually lasts my mate and I on a 4 day trip.
Then again, nothing like lugging around some Guinness for those post rock climbing drinks.

I went on a search for canned beers that would be worthy enough to find their way into my cooler. Well, I have found four tasty brews that will be taking the place of bottles on future outings!

The Big Swell IPA is really good!

I can get Dales and Old Chub (not listed) but where did you get the others? I am on a similare quest.

I did find that Fosters Ale in the large can is not too bad. I don't like their Lager, but the ale in the green can is doable.

Beers... so many and so little time... :friday:

I am fortunate to have a couple of well stocked stores near by (Escondido, California):
Holiday Wine Cellar
BevMo!

Talk to your local store and see if they can get their distributor to get you some! If not, we'll have to arrange a care package. (I was raised in Poky, so, I am up there every year or so.)

Pacifico - Well, it's light and refreshing and suprisingly strong

XXXX Bitters - a great excuse to go to Australia... as if I Needed one eh

Mirror Pond - I dare you to name a better IPA...

Raineer/Olympia/Pabst etc. - Because you can't take bottled beer on a rafting trip. And honestly, I like the taste of a generic American Lager.

Rad Stripe - good beer IM O in a cool little bottle

HOORAY BEER

*insert* any IPA here ______.

Mirror Pond isn't an IPA. It's much milder and less "hoppy" than most IPA's.

Mirror Pond Pale Ale. Just a pale. No india in site..lol.

I have found most people either love or hate good IPA's.

You PM me when you are coming up, and I'll paypal you for several 12 packs. Your judgment looks sound.

Has anyone tried Fat Tire in a can yet? I thought it tasted better than the bottled one.

 

[zjsheller]

Fat tire in a can? Haven't even seen it. And I'm a guy that would be looking. The other beers from New Belguim are GREAT!! Especially the 1442. YUMMY!!

I thought they tasted the same. I love taking that out camping. Finally a good beer in a can.
