What does that have to do with your stated topic of "BEER"?

IPAs in general don't appeal to me. I'm not a big fan of hoppy beer.

I like dark beers. I love Spotted Cow--New Glarus Brewery's Wisconsin-only smash hit. I saw a lot of beer snobs touting IPA's with Charles Emerson Winchester III certainty.

Tried them--don't like them. I don't mind bitter and hoppy lagers, but the IPA's I tried tasted like a grapefruit shandy.

Sierra Nevada has a really nice brown ale and stout out right now, as well as a rye and some lighter ales. Nice combo package.

I love their Spotted Cow also. The Two Ladies is great also. Just hard to find anywhere but at the brewery. I always pick up 12 when we go through New Glarus.

Hard to find? Really?

Mr. Patler , you find it easy to comment on others , do you have the courage to reveal what Beer you regularly drink ?

Mr. Patler , you find it easy to comment on others , do you have the courage to reveal what Beer you regularly drink ?

I'm not a regular beer drinker and don't have one that I drink routinely. When I buy beer, I most often go to a liquor store that allows mixing six packs of the beers in their very large collection from small craft and micro breweries, so I will get 6 different beers. I try to get ones I haven't tried before. My enjoyment of beer is more in sampling different beers, not drinking any one on a regular basis. If I drink more than one at a time, which isn't often, I rarely drink two of the same beer.

Like Craig, I don't much like IPAs or light colored hoppy beers, and won't intentionally buy them. I do like most dark beers, including some that are a bit hoppy. A couple years ago, I tried some sours made with wild yeasts and fermented in wooden barrels (e.g., lambics and the like). I really like them and buy them now when I can find them. New Glarus has made a few sours over the years (Raspberry Tart and Serendipity) and just recently opened a dedicated brewery for making just sours. I am looking forward to what comes from them in the future. Buying most sours is more like buying wine than like buying beer, individual 750ml bottles at about $10 each. Some of the European breweries bottle their sours in six packs for the US market.

As for my comment to you, just teasing since I'm not much into the beers coming from the large scale brewery processes. Mrs. Patler, however, drinks Miller Lite and Michelob Ultra. My comment to Thunder Dan was surprise, since I have no problem finding Spotted Cow, Two Women, or most of the year-around New Glarus beers, I think Dan is in or near Middleton, and I would have thought could find them easily in the Madison area.

I understood that , but you were posting on others without putting forth something that could be commented on as well.

I also sample new brews from time to time , but am not a daily Beer drinker either . I do enjoy a cold one or three with a good meal , during football games, or social get together's . If my regular brand is not available , then I like the dark beers like Guinness . Fish and Chips are just not as good without a cold Beer or two .

Huh? I made absolutely no comment at all about anyone's beer preferences. I teased you and expressed surprise that Dan has trouble finding the New Glarus beers. I had made no other posts in here.

It is rare for me to drink more than a single beer. I have no regular choice at all. If I decide to have a beer when we go out, I usually ask what they have on tap and have whatever strikes my fancy at the time, or I look at their beer list and pick something I haven't had in a while, or ever. At home, I typically have available only single bottles of different beers unless I go for Mrs. Patlers stash.

I don't automatically have a beer with any meal choice (I know some who find it difficult to eat pizza without a beer, for example.) I don't routinely drink beer watching sports, or at picnics, or at events or social situations of any type. Having a beer is sort of a spontaneous thing for me, triggered by nothing in particular. I doubt I drink a six pack/month on average.
