Let's talk good beer

I'm bored out of my mind right now. Not ready for sleep.

If you could only have 1 beer (doesn't even have to be beer) for the rest of your life, what would it be? Doesn't even have to be in business anymore. The only qualifications are: it has alcohol and you've had at least 1 of them.

Mine is the Alesmith .394 (the Tony Gwynn beer) pale ale. If Jager bombs were sustainable, that would be up there too.


Truly amazing stuff!

Great question, for me Prima Pils by Victory Brewing Company. If you’re making me drink only one beer the rest of my life it has to be suitable for every situation and mood. It has to be crushable, it has to be flavorful, it has to go great on Thanksgiving as equally as it goes at a July 4 BBQ, it has to satisfy without making me feel full, it has to pair with food, has to go great in the sunshine or in the shower. This one does all of it. I can drink 10 at a party or I can sip one with a filet at a fine steakhouse.

I love the Pilsner style and this is one of the best in the world.

I like hearing about beers from other states. Everyone should be required to answer sd’s question here, I think you asked the best question that has ever been asked on The Warpath except for maybe Question 3 or favorite pie.

Good question, I’d probably go with Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. It’s one of those OG craft beers. A lot of times shopping for beer can feel overwhelming with all the choices and SN is often my go to. It’s basic enough that most people who claim to not like craft beer still like it and most beer snobs will admit it’s super solid. And I like the alcohol is only 5% so it’s very crushable.

1. Bell’s Two Hearted Ale


2. Cigar City Jai Alai IPA

Both strong body, hoppy and refreshing


Ive noticed a big trend of Ultra light body, hoppy ipa over the last five year..too light. Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy some pale ale, citra ale stuff in the summer especially and I do love German & Czech pilsners , but a body consistency of iced tea or cheap American beer isn’t why I’m paying extra In the store.

I’ve got some Jai Alai in the fridge right now. I remember back when it was only available in Florida so anytime I was down there on vacation that’s all I’d drink.

Yes. Folks who drank good beer long enough remember when Sierra Nevada Sam Adams, Pete’s wicked, dominion ale...and maybe a Tuppers Hop Pocket Or Foggy bottom in the mid Atlantic region were your only choices. Sierra Nevada still stands tall today, I grab a 12 packet or 2 a year just to support them.

The longer they’ve been around here the more I go back. It’s distinctive versus a lot of west coast style ipa on the market which are good, but their taste will run together imo.

Sierra Nevada is definitely an OG and good stuff. It's towards the top of the craft beers all times greats list.

It's crazy how booming the craft beer market is. San Diego alone has over 150 breweries. There are a lot of good ones here. Green Flash West Coast IPA is another favorite. Those pack a wallop though. Not your every day beer or watch with sports all day beer.

Drakes in San Leandro California (bay area) makes a great pale ale (1500) and IPA (Best Coast IPA).

I typically roam in the pale ale/IPA world. If I want to go something light and refreshing I like the Kona Big Wave Golden Ale.
