Man, that shit is not a toy. But, like any double stout or ale, it's worth its weight in gold. My personal favorite I've ever had is the
Rogue Double Dead Guy Ale. I've had a bottle sitting in my beer fridge for well over 6 months now and I think I'm gonna drink it on Thanksgiving.
As for my regular beer of choice, I despise almost everything that Anheuser-Busch makes, so I try to stick with imported beer or, if there's absolutely nothing else, Coors Regular is OK but it needs to be really cold for it to be palatable. The bottles that get recycled from here at the house on a monthly basis tell a damning tale of Newcastle Brown, New Belgium, Heineken, Pacifico and Humboldt Hemp Ale binges and I'm continually surprised how much of this stuff gets consumed here at our house on weekends.
I like to grill regularly, so anything that goes with food that we're eating is always a plus. Carne asada with beans and a salad always goes well with a Pacifico or a Newcastle while a steak and grill-baked potato will always go good with a Fat Tire. The beer gets rotated here depending on what we're cooking.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
