Which beer of the three above would you go for? I want to know how many tuba players have tastes similar to mine. Does taste run in the instrument family best known for beer?

Whatever is cheapest and lightest. I love Keystone Light, Coors Light, anything that can be chilled to a temperature that hurts the fillings in your teeth. Oddly thought, I am a seasonal Beer guzzler. During the warm months, I drink cold, lite beer by the gallon. During the cooler months, one or two Newcastles a week is about all I want. Go Figure.

Just three choices?...hmmm...

Well, of the three Stout, although depending on the season, accompanying food, and a million other variables, I could easily choose one of the others.

I do have to admit that homebrew is best. Nothing like a fresh beer.

On my own experience alone I could add at least 16 different types of beer and over 100 different brews. I figured that I would narrow it down to a few common, blanket types and go from there. If anyone has a personal favorite, feel free to post it. My personal favorite is a wood-aged beer from the New Belgium Brewery that tastes like a cross between a wine and a beer. I know it sounds strange but it is good. One problem, it is $18 a bottle.

That's always the best kind.

A good stout, somewhat thinner than used 50 weight crankcase oil, served room temperature:



If not available, I'll take a good porter.

Who brews that stuff? I want some.

Despite my undeniable nostalgia towards Shiner Bock, my preference is stout. I drink about four beers a year, so I have to make them count.

Obsidian is brewed by Deschutes Brewing just the other side of the mountains, in Bend, Oregon. Pelican Tsunami Stout's pretty darned good too (brewed in Pacific City, OR).

For the east coast, a friend tells me that it's pretty hard to beat Bar Harbor Cadillac Mountain stout, but I think you've got to go to Maine to get it.

You forgot a choice:

Our local brewery. The place you can find Alien Amber Ale.

Of course real tuba players drink-

I guess I imagined all real tuba players drank this.

Bass Ale and Guinness, yum- aka Black and Tan. It's Doug Nottingham's favorite. He introduced it to me along time ago.

Actually, I believe a Black and Tan is supposed to be Guinness and Harp, but what I really want to know is how you know the DugMeister and if I should know you.

See your PM.

Guinness will always have a very special place in my heart. Although tonight some friends and I enjoyed Molson Canadian while watching "Office Space".

Nothing "low carb" or "ultra" for me. Frankly, Michelob Ultra was some of the worst beer I've ever had.

I couldn't pick just one of the three choices. I usually end up with more mainstream brands like Leinenkugel, Yuengling, most Canadian brews, stuff like that. No Bud.

Guinness in the States is hard to take seriously, really. I had the distinct pleasure of having some in a pub in the UK that was served as it should be -- lifted from a keg at room temperature. Fantastic. After shipping it across the pond, it's just not the same.

Red Stripe can sometimes be bad, usually pretty good, sometimes absolutely great. Three of 'em (along with half of a large pizza and most of Return Of The Jedi) helped me get through watching a flute recital in college.

Speaking of college, the town (Kearney, Nebraska) became host to a small restaurant/microbrewery named Thunderhead Brewery that would sell JUGS of beer. Many different grades & viscosities from them, and it was really good stuff, too.

Jugs are common here in the west and most of the midwest. Don't know about other places though
