dark beers

September 28th, so it'll be here pretty soon, a shame it falls on a wed. instead of the weekend, but oh well. As for the "white" "wheat" "weizen" Think they would be hard to come by?

I went to the Guinness site and I think I'm going to go with the Guinness Extra Stout if the bars have them.

Beer selection is very hit or miss. Some places have Bud or Bud Lite. Some places will have a beautiful selection. Some places will have all the American standards, but one or two standouts. Some places can tell you "it's like Bud, but not as good" and others can go on for hours about any particular brew.

If you find some (real) brewpubs, you'll find some of your best beers and the most knowledgeable hopheads you'll ever meet. If you're planning to sit and drink, I'd hunt down a brewpub. If you're planning on barhopping, look for buzzwords on the taps, or just order a nice, safe Guinness. :)

Blah, leave the beer out, its your night to (try to) do 21 shots of jagermeister. If you live, welcome to the world, if you die... pussy.

Quiet, seeing as though you're in Ohio, look for Great Lakes Brewing Company beers and Goose Island Brewery beers. Heck, there may be some Bell's Point Brewery stuff. The first is based out of clevehole, the second out of Chi-town, and the third out of Michigan (I'm assuming Bell's Point). All there stuff in general is good. Any of their ales are leaps and bounds ahead of and MGD, Bud, or other crappy American 3:2 beer. It's like the Amstel Light commercial depicts, light beers are good for, well, watering the plants.

I'll have to add those to the list too.

When I visited our local micro-brewery, St. Arnold's, the owner commented that, in terms of aging, beer is like bread and wine is like cheese. With the possible exceptions of the beers that undergo secondary fermentation in the bottle, fresh beer always tastes better than older beer. As a result, I'll always give the local brew a try.
