| | India Pale Ales for me; the hoppier, the better! Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA comes to mind; but so do many others. And at "English" warm temps also. I abhore ice-cold beer, except for some lagers and pilsners in the summertime. I'm also big on Stouts and Porters; no one inparticular brand. Steinlager (New Zealand) is about my favorite summer beer. But mostly, I just love beer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FTRPLT |

| I've looked, and in my area, Knoxville, TN, I can't find a place that sells most of these beers. The best selection seems to be at http://www.leafandale.com/beerlist.php
What should I try? One can mix and match a six pack or case, so when I talk my wife into letting me use some money to buy some beer, I'll have something to go by.
Thanks. |

I enjoy each different style for the difference in taste, but I don't know all of the styles and what represents each style well. Tonight at Knox Cigar Company, I had a Rocky Mountain IPA, which was the best beer I've had to date. There are a lot of beers at Knox Cigar now that they have a bar, but that's another thread.
Basically, I guess I'm saying that there are so many to choose from, I don't know where to start. Very similar to when I first started with the pipe. |

| PB....as usual I have a few suggestions!!! First, since you've already tried the IPA and enjoyed it; try each of the other IPAs at the Leaf &Ale!! Now I'm going to list most of the breweries with which I'm familiar. Each time you visit the L&A, pick up a bottle from say, five or six, of them and keep a log/diary of which ones you like and/or dislike. Many of my favs come from one of these:
Anchor Steam, Avery, Bar Harbor, Bass, Becks, Calhouns, Duck-Rabbit (one of my wife's favorites!), Fort Collins, Flying Dog, Guinness, Hacker-Schorr, Left Hand (big fav of mine), Lost Coast, North Coast, Pilsner Urquell, Redhook, Sam Adams, Sammy Smith (IPA and Oatmeal Stout are awesome), Shipyard, Sierra Nevada, St. Pauli Girl, St. Peters, Smithwicks (pronounced Smith icks, no "w"), Warsteiner, and Yuengling.
Within each of these (other than the single brews like Bass or Becks), you'll find a range of lighter lagers to hoppier IPAs, different ales, and even a few fruit-based brews! Enjoy and have fun!!

| Good advice ftrplt.
Some of the imports don't travel well, and loose even more of their character if they sit on the retailers shelf too long.
Pilsner Urquell and some of the imported lighter color lagers are notorious for changing over time, but when fresh, they are superb.
I believe Smithwicks is sold as #1 in the U.S. market, but if you can acquire the Canadian version, known as Smithwicks Export, you will find it a much fuller and more flavorful brew.
Both the Hacker Pschorr and the Sam Smith's products seem to suffer little from their travels.
Fuller's ESB and the ale from Shepherd Neame seem almost indestructable.

| | Pipemaker....Besides not traveling well; many of the imports just weren't meant to be served ice cold. I absolutely adore a good hand-pulled English bitter or ale. Nothing beats it!! During our trip to Ireland last year, we were stunned when the Guinness was served ice frappin' cold!! Yuck! But even the worst travelin' English bitter beats the hell out of "Lite Beer from Miller!!!" Double yuck!!! FTRPLT |
