Ok, I really have never properly educated myself in wine tasting as Im much more of a beer and spirits guy. Also I dont do mixed drinks much... my philosofy is to accentuate the spirit instead of burrying it.
Any ways this is about beer so let's get this show on the road! Post your favorite beers with a brief review, Im always looking for new stuff to try! (Me and Cat used to do beer tastings... we would buy 4 to 6 large cans and bottels of different varieties).
Negra Modelo: my favorite, usually in the upper range of price. I like to call it the champagne of dark beers. Despite it's full body and dark color it's surprisingly crisp and refreshing, definatly a great way to start the night and goes nicely with seafood and spicy food (especially chopped fruit in hot sauce).
Dos Equis: especial and lager are probably the lightest beers that dont taste like water. Great, super refreshing stuff which can be used to acompany a more subtle dish. Also it's available everywhere and usually pretty cheap.
Vorlfstiner: A "so cheep it's good" german beer, what budwiser would be had the US tradition not been interrupted by the prohibition. Great, light and flavorfull stuff.
Tsingtao: as with many of the best beers it was founded by german settlers (this time in china) and it has a very flowery (as in wheat) taste and goes great with whatever you order at a chinese restaurant. There's a reason it's chinas #1 beer.
Hakim Stout: a beer I tried at an ethiopian restaurant which I hope to revisit soon. It was surprisingly light and fruity, almost like a mix of beer and sparkling white wine. Very interesting stuff and it went well with the injera (a tart flat bread used instead of forks and knives).
So what do you guy's have to share?
