I was sent a link to the dating hatracker thread by Raventh and found mention of the bar I'm probably considered a regular at. And, in fact just got back from. (btw Elizabeth, do you like the M&D? If so we should totally go. I'm still working on my list!)
So the M&D is a bar where you can find all sorts of expensive snobby beers. As someone who's discovered that their beer taste is basically Belgium beer it's great. So what are your favorite beers/beer bars?

Apple Beer. Which is ONLY freakin available in Utah.

I am so there with you, Sarah! Just let me know when.
Posted by sarahdipity (Member # 3254) on :
So is Apple beer different than hard cider. We had Strongbow hard cider in London. Mmmmmm
I had Cantillon and Anderson Valley Pale Ale tonight. yum yum
Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :
Apple Beer is nonalcoholic, so my guess is yeah, it's different. Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Sarah, I need to email you about other issues, such as your potential need for blankets and other things that re going on Freecycle.
I have friends visiting this weekend(as well as the green river fest), then GrassRoots next week, then we will be back. I am ready for a Moan and Dove partner in the area. My husband hates beer.
If only Punwit were closer! I know he would love it there.

My favourite bar, however, is this little place in Sydney called Cafe Pacifico. It has a wall of the finest tequila, serves amazing Mexican food (the Mexican Olympic team spent most of their down-time in this bar during the 2000 Olympics) and stocks Negro Modela.
I would almost move states to be near that bar again.....
Posted by Jim-Me (Member # 6426) on :
Most Belgian Ales (edit: that I have tried)have that hint of honey-sweetness, which is why I like 'em :-)
Posted by sarahdipity (Member # 3254) on :
T, I thought something was odd about you drinking. Do you like ginger beer?
Mahrs Weiss has a bannana aftertaste that makes it really interesting.
There's also some beer that tastes like ham and cheese. Someone told me it tastes like bacon. I think it's awful *ick*
Posted by Zeugma (Member # 6636) on :
I don't think there are many Belgian *lagers*, so maybe you had a Belgian Strong Ale, or Special Ale?
I love almost everything from Unibroue in Canada, beers with lots of tasty spices like Harpoon's Winter Warmer and Dogfish Head's Punkin' Ale, Belgian farmhouse ales, wheat beers, and strong ales... pretty much any well-crafted beer that's low on hops and high on fruit and/or spices. Posted by johnsonweed (Member # 8114) on :
Stella Artois is a Belgian lager.
It's nice to see some beer afficionados on the list.
I am a home brewer, too! I make an AbFab medium body red ale! It is called Southfarthing Ale.
Posted by Zeugma (Member # 6636) on :
STEEEELLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Heh.
I'd actually forgotten about Stella Artois, since it's not shelved in the Belgian section of our beer store. Posted by AC (Member # 7909) on :
Guinness Draught and Holy Grail Ale

What is Freecycle?
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Freecycle is an email lit where you can(if you are me) give things away that are clogging up your flow of chi in the house. You can also ask for things that people are offering, or express a need for an item. I was just thinking that some of the things I am ditching, you might want, and I would ask you first.

It's really good when mixed with Guinness.
Black Velvet...<drools> Guinness...<drools>
Donut...
Edit to add: I forgot to add favorite bar.
-In San Diego it is The Field, which is downtown by the ballpark.
-In Virginia I frequented JD's. Basically because it was just a small hole in the wall place that I had an extremely low chance of meeting up with people I worked with.
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Whenever I go to the M and D, I always order Arrogant Bastard Ale on tap, if they have it. I just love it.
I did enjoy a barley wine I had there as well.
The coolest thing is that wach beer has its own special glass. Some of them are just beautiful.
