Random Beer Rant Because A Friend Was Raving About It

I don't drink Abita Strawberry or Sweetwater Blue.  I don't want pumpkin flavored ale or raspberry, banana, or apple. 

I don't drink those beers because I am fucking man and I don't need fruit punch squirted into my lager for me to enjoy the taste. 

This country needs more chest hair.

Sounds like a wine cooler. I bet Snaggle would love it.

You meet a man on the Oregon Trail. He tells you his name is Terry. You laugh and tell him: "That's a girl's name!" Terry shoots you. You have died of dissin' Terry.

Any of you tried the Guiness Black?  I drank a lot of Guiness on St. Patty's day, but not the Black.

I don't care for it if it's overdone, and too sweet, but I like Abita Strawberry.

And Purple Haze is delicious. It's raspberry infused.

Beers with Weskie last week and he suggested his "Go to" brew of choice.  Sweetwater IPA on draft.   :thumsup:

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

Some people just never get out of the "widespread panic, phish, Zack Galafinakakjsasakkasas college guy" act.

And you are 100% correct. The Germans and their ancestors are weeping all over the Purity Law because of those "beers".

Well now, some very traditional beers are made with fruit and there's nothing wrong with it (Lambic, Saison, even Pumpkin Ale's are traditional back hundreds of years).  And some beers have a distinct fruit/vegetable taste without the actual addition of fruit (Hefeweizen often tastes of banana, Strong Dark Ale from Belgium often has a plum flavor to it, some Ale's have an apple flavor).  I just don't like the shoehorning of fruit in a non traditional style.  But as for the purity laws, there are tons of traditional beers that don't fit in in with the purity law.

Somewhat true.....

But Pumpkin Ales and Hefe's are a far cry from a Chocolate Oatmeal Wheat Stout or a Strawberry Banana Lime Malt Liquor "Beer". St Pauli Girl is a good simple lager I like. Paulaner is also a good one.

If you want beer get a beer.  If you want Bartles and James get that.  A light "flavoring" for aromatics is acceptable, but if the beer starts to get sweet or tastes of fruit, not just smell lightly of it, it's not beer anymore IMHO.

The aromatics should be mostly natural and definitely not part of the marketing strategy. 

Here's a top ten of best fruit beers according to some effeminate drinker:

1. Samuel Smith’s Organic Raspberry – Samuel Smith Brewing
2. Sweetwater Blue – Sweetwater Brewing
3. St-Ambroise Apricot Wheat Ale- McAuslan Brewing
4. Raspberry Imperial Stout - Weyerbacher Brewing   
5. #9 - Magic Hat Brewing       
6. Black & Blue - Dogfish Head Craft Brewery   
7. Frambozen Raspberry Brown Ale  - New Belgium
8. Wild Raspberry Ale - Great Divide Brewing   
9. UFO Raspberry Hefeweizen - Harpoon Brewery   
10. Samuel Smiths Organic Strawberry Ale, Samuel Smith Brewery 

And the site's accompanying picture:

Covington is another New Orleans brand that makes a good strawberry beer. I like Abita's better.

I'm with THS on this.

I'm not advocating Leinenkugel's or Woodchuck Hard Cider. Or God Forbid any "Malternative" (that doesn't even belong in a discussion about beer).

But I'm on team "Man should not be afraid of fruit as an ingredient in his beer".

FWIW, all beer regardless of flavor is nasty. 

This thread is like a debate over the best tasting dog turd.  Do you prefer it if Fido has eaten a mango before he shits?  No! Be a man, eat straight dogmeal turds or nothing.
