The Beer Thread (Pictures Encouraged)

Figured I'd make a beer thread, since I haven't ever seen one.

So, I know I'm not the only beer lover on these boards. I'm not a heavy drinker by any means, but I do love tasting new beers. I'll get this thing going with a few of my favorites. The point of this topic is just a laid-back chat about some of the best beer out there. Also, I'm hoping to see a few things that I haven't tried before. Sooooo, here we go.

My first beer, which just incidentally is my absolute favorite so far, is called Arrogant Bastard Ale:



It is an extremely dark beer, but it has the most bold flavor of anything I've ever tasted. Every time I take a sip, I try to wrap my mind around all the tastes I'm getting. It truly is an elite beer, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is a dark beer fan.

The second one actually is an extremely common beer, and it isn't dark by any means. It is something that is readily available, but I love all of it just the same. It is Heineken:



I think the reason I like Heineken so much is because, for a light beer, it has the most distinct, unique flavor.

The third one, which is right up there with Arrogant Bastard is Old Rasputin Imperial Stout:



If you're a dark beer lover like I am, you'll be able to taste the difference between Old Rasputin and something like Guinness.

Which brings me to number four, Guinness:



While Arrogant Bastard Ale is definitely my favorite of the dark category, Guinness is just a step below, right next to Old Rasputin in my book. Guinness is available pretty much anywhere liquor is sold, so more often than not when I go by a dark beer, Guinness is what I come home with

I'll post more depending on how much popularity this topic gets. Come at me with all of your favorites and suggestions!
