Doobie Snacks?
Yes, I'm a beer drinker. I'm from Germany, so I kinda have to be right? 
I'm not an ordinary beer drinker, I have almost no favorite beers and if I do not for a long time.
I like to switch it up a little, once in a while.
For example: I used to lake Guinness, now I almost can't drink it anymore. I recently had one, because it was the last bottle left ^^
I tried a few American beers and I liked em. I also like Canadian beers, Alexander Keith's and weirdly enough I learned to like Molson Canadian as well. I think the bigger breweries in Germany make a too bitter brew for my taste. But shallow beers are still even worse than bitter beers.
Beer mixed with Cola or some other shit is nothing I'd drink, but I like Corona and Desperados, especially when it comes in huge bottles.
Colt45 is one of the worst I had, still finished the whole 6 pack though. What can I say, I'm a fan of the Afroman
Cheers!

A pic with beers I made last season.
I've learned a lot, but the new season I'll begin very soon, I'll learn much more. I have to try new beer styles for example some Stouts like oatmeal stout and dry stout, bitter and ESB, dunkelweizen, some dark lager and some belgian strong ale.

nice, i've been wanting to get into brewing for awhile but have been held up by two factors. once being that i'm apt to not be in one place long enough to brew, i can't commit the time to being there consistently. the other being cost. i'm not exactly wealthy and i'd realistically have to spend 6 months or a years worth of beer fundage at once to brew and then WAIT with NO BEER because i spent my beer money until it is ready. i just haven't been able to commit to the plunge yet, but i've been honing my tastes for years, and i love to read and talk to brewers. i like that you have such a broad selection from one year, how many are you doing up at once? and how much of each do you make at a time?

Hi Hashassin!
I love beer, I like a lot of styles (but I like IPAs much more), I'm learning to make beer, IMO I need to learn to make all styles I can. I normally cook each 2 or 3 weeks, some few times I cook every week, but I can't make it during summer. I make from 16 to 19 litres of beer each time. I cook in a small flat.
It depend of the beer style you can wait more or less time to drink it. A normal wheat beer, from cook the wort to drink the first bottle I spend at least one month and a half, but it will be better wait 2-3 months. For an IPA is necessary more time, about 3 months, but it will be better wait 4 or 5 months. For the moment I don't spend too much money, I buy malts with other group of homebrewers in a big europe distributor and we get very good prices. And hops I sometimes bought it directly to the farmer.

Venus has arrived. http://bellsbeer.com/planets/venus/
Having tasted it and having looked at the descriptions of the remaining planets, this looks like the weakest of the bunch (Gaggle? Pride? Flock? Congress? 7-pack?).
What you have here is a spicy blonde ale. It hits my nose almost like a ginger ale. The taste is spice forward but ends with the fruit of the apricot. A little thin for me but not like anything I've had before. I'm struggling to find the right moment for this beer. Might be good with a sassy Indian or Thai dish.

For me, this is their best! Dogfish Head Burton Baton - it's very big on all the right flavors!
Fo shizzle! Burton Baton rocks! Also a huge fan of the IPA's, Palo Santo Marron, the Indian Brown Ale, and Theobroma. Some of the others?... Not so much. For example, really didn't care for Positive Contact.

I just had one of these earlier. "Sweet Baby Jesus", a chocolate peanut butter porter from DuClaw Brewing Company in Baltimore. I had no idea what to expect from a peanut butter beer, but it actually worked pretty well! I recommend it if you feel like trying something different. The peanut butter is very evident in the nose.
My favorite DHF brew I've had is their limited release Squall IPA:
It tasted amazing. I found the bottle by itself while making a last minute beer run prior to the landfall of Hurricane Irene in Maryland, 2011. I had it that night, holed up in a friend's house, while playing Settlers of Catan by candlelight as the power had gone out. The beautiful bottle, the wonderful flavor, and the unforgettable setting came together to make it my favorite bottle of beer that I've ever had.

I used to be a serious beer drinker for years . Always searching for the new micros and what ever I even brewed my own for many years .
i recent years however I lost the taste for it .Maybe I just drank too many crazy IPAs and killed my taste-buds !
But last weekend I found a really small micro brewery in the neighborhood I grew up in (I live about 30 mins away )
So good I went twice over the weekend . And that is a big deal being that I rarely leave the house .
So I am in now way connected to these guys just thought it was a great place .
It is all small batch cask conditioned hand pumped British ales .
You can find it around Los Angeles but I recommend going to the brewery .

If yo go let me know what you think!
ENJOY !

Good stuff man. I'm thinking you would also like these brews...
Peak Organic Fresh Cut
Sculpin IPA
Maine Brewing Co (anything)
Peak Organic Hop Noir
Firestone Double IPA
Racer 5
Hmm I'll keep thinking
I'd really appreciate a recommendation for an exceptional brew with the combination of flavor characteristics of Dogfish Head Burton Baton (strong hops), Founders Curmudgeon (well-rounded), and Chimay Blue (boozey, winey), all in one. Does such a heavenly elixir exist? I like my brews very bold in flavor and high in alcohol %! Thanks!!!

Maybe this one would work as an entry-level choice?
Or maybe a good barleywine...

@Snappo, probably tough to find right now but New Holland's Pilgrim's Dole might fit the bill (not aggressively hopped but still a good one).
OK! Tried the Nitro per your suggestion. Wonderful flavor, very very smooth! I wonder though if the carbonation is meant to be on the very low side, or if maybe my bottles are just a bit flat. I tend to like a carbonation that greets and stings the tongue. Good beer!Wait till you try the Nitro version, @Snappo...
