I've moved into my red wine drinking season now (makes it sound like I drink a lot, I don't - just enough though ) but I do love ice cold beer in the summer.

OK, here's how it came out

* Stone Chocolate Stout
* Stone Imperial Stout (Sridhar’s Fav)
* Goose Island bourbon barrel aged stout (Sridhar’s other Fav) <-- last minute addition
* Avery CZAR, Imperial Stout (Steve’s Fav)
* North Coast Rasputin, Imperial Stout 12th Anniversary (Erik’s Fav)
* Deschutes 21st Anniversary “Imperial” Black Butte Porter (Joanne’s Fav) <-- yep, that's me!!



For me, 1st place was the Stone Imperial Stout.
Second place was everything else. If I were forced to pick my least favorite, maybe it would be the Stone Choc. Oatmeal Bitter Stout, but only if I were forced to choose. They were all great.

Among the tasters, the overall winner (by a very narrow margin) was the Rasputin Imperial Stout.

Have to go with Fat Tire...I hardly ever even drink beer, but that is the one I will make an exception for.

Alaskan Smoked Porter. The 2009 batch just came out, they only brew it once a year. It is FAR better on tap (and wonderful at the brewery where it's all free but that's in Juneau) but the bottles are good.

Stone Brewery also has a smoked porter and they have (on tap only, I believe) a smoked porter infused with chiles.

I have historically liked stouts but moved to porters and the smoked porters are the best.

The girls who like Framboise (raspberry beer), must try this one too.



It is not as sweet, but full of flavor.

Yeah that's some good stuff, but I can only drink one before getting really tired of the taste.

Arrogant Bastard. It's all in the name. Actually I like a variety: Pyramid Hefeweizen with a twist of orange, their Apricot ale is good too for an interesting change; Fat Tire; Shock Top; Moose Drool. I think I just love ale.

I'll have to check out my great wine-and-beer-and-cheese shop to see if they can get some here. If not, I'll just have to go to Belgium and get me some.

I love a German wheat beer called Kristallweiss. Mmmm, mmm.

Best root beer I've had is Henry Weinhardt. Hands down.
