ArchivesRe: what about Chanidier or Champaine?
in reply to a message by PriaposLovs
You've touched on one of my MAJOR off-topic areas of interest! After nearly 40 years of research and experimentation (beginning with Black Label, Hudepohl, Iron City and then clawing my way upward in the beer strata), I've settled on Newcastle Brown Ale as perhaps the finest this planet has to offer that's also readily available in larger US markets.
However, I find Bass Ale and Negra Modelo to be fine substitutes when Newcastle's not on sale. And surprisingly, Budweiser has brought out a Killian's Red clone called Killarney's that's actually better than the Coors product and a commendable brew for the little they charge.

Newcastle Brown Ale is too one of my favorites :) My favorite US beers are, as mentioned, Sam Adams, as well as Anchor Steam from San Fransisco. My everyday staple beer is the Czech Budweiser (light years apart from the US version...is it still illegal in the US?). I also enjoy Belgian Duvel and any good German Heffe Weisse.

Have any of you tried Gray's Oatmeal Stout or Guiness Extra Dry Ale? How about Carlsbourg Elephant Malt? I haven't tried any of the other Irish ales or bitters, and I'm not sure if any other brewery makes an oatmeal stout, but...

Samuel Smiths (of Tadcaster, England) make an Oatmeal Stout, but like all their excellent brews, it's a bit pricey for us mortals (50% higher than even Newcastle), even when you can find it.
