Spotted Cow isn't a "flavored" beer, but I agree that it is overrated.
Surly beers are also overrated in my opinion. It almost as if the brewmaster just discovered hops and over hops everything he brews. Blech.... |

#*^@ right. Both completely overrated. I like hoppy but there are too many johnny come lately brewmasters now that overdo the hops, package it up so it sells, and people jump all over it because it's trendy. "It tastes like hell, but I sure feel cool ordering it!"

| Spotted Cow is a traditional "farmhouse ale". No added flavoring. The hops they use are not as bitter as some.
If you want a really good beer, a lager, try Two Women from New Glarus. Really a crisp, clean taste. Probably the best lager style beer I have had. |

Location: MN | I agree Spotted Cow is overrated. That said, anything New Glarus makes is far superior beer to Rolling Rock or Leinie's. You may like the taste of those more and that's fine but those are low quality beers.
If you want high quality beer on your way north stop at the Brewhouse in Duluth. They have tons of good brews and you can sample prior to purchasing. They only sell in growlers though since they are a brewpub. If you need cans stop at store in Duluth or Superior and get some Bent Paddle. |

seems to me like it's one of those citrus injected beers that are good at first and then you realize it's a syrup overpowering a hoppy beer.
Leinenkugels wrote the book on it. Lemon Berry Shandy? Sounds terrible. Summer Shandy, is terrible. Berry Weiss? Grapefruit Shandy? Haven't gone there. I do like the Leinies Red Lager and their very underpromoted and not widely enough available, Original. If I want some natural citrus I'll toss an orange slice in one of the wife's Blue Moon's.
On a lager note, I'm diggin the 'Supper Club' from Capital Brewery that my friend Erik turned me onto. Very soft hopping, only semi sweet, with a nice dry slightly bitter finish that cuts the sweet unlike some of the aforementioned seasonals. While a bit pricey at $9.99 a sixer for a year rounder brewed within a hundred miles of my home, it's a nice deviation from my standby macros. |

Wherever you're going, find the biggest liquor store and try out some local stuff that looks like it's been around for a while. Heck I drink PBR when I'm in PBR country, even though its terrible. |

Steel reserve,,,,for the delicate palette
In college I lived in a house with 8 other guys. We'd "steel reserve" each other. Basically hide the box and if someone came upon it without "calling it", they had to shotgun a steel reserve right there. I got up on morning, hid it in the fridge, and proceeded to get every other guy in the place.

| Funny how our tastes change. Back in the day it was Stroh's, Coors, Bud, or whatever else we could swipe from our parents.
Today if I were to be forced to drink one beer for the rest of my life it would be Sprecher. One of the finest beers I have encountered.
Black Bavarian for cold temps, Amber for warmer weather. They make a few seasonals that are outstanding as well. The Doppel Bock comes out around Easter I believe, and is by far the best beer I have ever had. There is also a Mai Bock that's pretty good.
As for celebratory beers in the boat? Anything that's cold. PBR, Old Style, Miller Lite, who cares? As long as it's ice cold and we're drinking it because someone put a fish in the net, any beer is a good beer.

But Haberstumpf is absolutely liquid gold. There are some really truly great beers in Germany. Most are not known or available beyond a 10 mile radius of the brewery. My last business trip to Germany, I shipped a couple of cases back and also some wine from the Main River Valley (Kitzingen) , incredible wines. Both reds and whites.

I just stick to beers that been around awhile because people like them and don't for those trendy beers that taste great but they don't. Somebody got a B plus in business management and thinks he can reinvent beer. Sorry Charlie your wrong. Rolling Rock,Bud Lite,PBR are great beers. But don't worry trendsetters they have trendy beer tomorrow for you to try for $9 dollars a six pack. If you belive that I got oceanfront property for sale in Kansas for you to look at. |

Has nothing to do with trendy. I'd rather pay 9$ for six quality beers that have a good ABV versus watered down crap in a can that is full of calories and water.
It's no different than wine....you can drink good stuff, or you can also drink it out a box.

Hand crafted beers are a lot like hand crafted musky lures. Most are more expensive than the mass produced stuff, and not all of them are worth the money. But once you learn to appreciate quality and workmanship and can tell the difference between lures that are something special and those that are all hat and no cattle, it's an easy generalization to make.
It's like wine. To some there is red wine and there is white wine. It all costs $4.99 and comes in a screw top bottle or even a box. Once you get further into it you realize that a Merlot is not a Cab is not a Shiraz is not a Zinfandel...
There are a lot of "great" beers out there, but if you don't like Weiss beer, many of them will taste horrible to you. If you're not much of a fan of "hoppy" beers, an IPA is not for you. If you don't like rich heavy beers, than a good oatmeal stout or a nut brown ale will be a waste of money.
Bottom line is there are beers you drink to enjoy the flavor, and beers you drink because it's beer and it's there.

On a 90 degree day, a Busch light tastes great. That doesn't mean it's a great beer.
Have to agree on the screw top wines, though. We've found some of the $10 varieties to be pretty #*^@ good, and some of the $50 varieties to be better for cooking than drinking. |

| I appreciate most beers and most beer styles. Honestly, I haven't come across many that I don't like. (Although a few of the macro's come to mind).
Watery domestics do have their time and place. That's pretty much summertime to me. Finish mowing the lawn on a hot afternoon in August? A PBR will taste delicious.
I also really love hefeweizens in the summer months. Had a great one at Grinders in Kansas City this past weekend made by the KC Bier Co.
Most other occasions, I'll choose an IPA. Lakefront, Squatters Hop Rising, Bell's Two Hearted, Great Lakes Commodore Perry, are some of my fav's. Each a bit different but all very tasty.

I mean seriously...PBR is a great beer? Yeah maybe in 1975 ...
You are a little off. PBR was voted the best beer in 1893. |

Sled, its the import version (pasturised ), I don't like it versus the rael stuff. But each has his own palate, the real stuff is much better. But Haberstumpf is absolutely liquid gold. There are some really truly great beers in Germany. Most are not known or available beyond a 10 mile radius of the brewery. My last business trip to Germany, I shipped a couple of cases back and also some wine from the Main River Valley (Kitzingen ) , incredible wines. Both reds and whites.

Have fun! If you like it, drink it!

Brings back a bunch of memories. I was in my early twenties, young and a bit dumb as most young GI's.
Based in Wurtzburg, I did a good bit of running around Kitzingen/Schweinfurt areas. The strawberry wines (Erdbervines?? iirc) gave me lots of headaches but I loved it!
Thanks for the memories Al! I grew up much too late I'm afraid. |

| I mean seriously paying $9 for a six pack wow they got you fooled. Nobody buys beer you just rent it for while. Man its just beer not wine. They got all them wine drinkers thinking that the more expensive wine they buy the better they will be, not quite, the more the seller will become richer. A Cadillac is no more than a fancy Chevy. Its like trying to buy class, you have it or you don't. |

That keeps autocorrecting to zegeunernice tryzel....it's supposed to be Z nice tryzel. Pork chops pounded flat, lightly breaded and fried, topped with Black Forest ham, sauteed peppers and onions, and a cream sauce over the top. Chive mashed potatoes and red and white cabbage.
While that sounds great, I have to say I've never seen anything like it before.
Do you know what part of Germany they are from ? |

The whole restaurant is a shrine to the old country and it has a real German beer hall feel to it. Jason, you get down there much? |

Location: Sawyer County, WI | It sounded odd to me too, but the vast majority of my time spent in Germany was either in Bavaria or Baden-Wurttemberg. Heck, there are noticeable differences in cuisine between northern and southern Bavaria so I don't find it too surprising. The proximity to France probably plays into it as well.
Still, I'm in. Thanks for the recommendation Moltisanti. |

Thanks for the heads up on the Winzer Stube! Not many authentic German Gast Haus's in USA. Love the food from all the regions! Most of my experience was Bavaria, but traveling the world post military, German Zigeuner nice tryzel is still a favorite...
I'll have to try theirs!
Pretty funny website translates (nice tryzel) as nice tryzel = LOL!
maybe nice tryzelllllllll works
Have fun!

Location: MPLS, MN | I'm surprised so many people like their American corn lager with all the options these days. Thats one of the main reasons they are so cheap. I like my beers just malt, yeast, water, and hops. If I have to pay a few extra bucks a 6 pack that's fine with me. Schell's Fire Brick is a great Amber lager, Stone Go To IPA and Mirror Pond Pale Ale are a few of my favorites. Good tasting session able beers. |

Location: Chicago | Presidents liquor 3824 E 2nd St. In Superior as you make your way north along 53. Just got back from our adventure decent 7 fish week despite treacherous heat and winds with a couple 4'ers the highlight. I found Spotted Cow to be an easy drinking ale not terribly hoppy and not citrusy at all. Would definatly get some more next time through and would recommend trying it out if craft beer is your sort of thing. Probably the most appealing thing is you can't get it outside of wisconsin so pick some up and stick a big one. |
