Hello, everyone!
I just stumbled across the group, and decided this was the group for me.
A little about myself:
I first got into drinking "good" beers while in college. I attended Ball State in Muncie, Indiana. Located there was a tavern known as the "Heorot." This was one of those places that had 50+ beers on tap, another 100-150 in bottles, and the most mass-marketed item available was Fosters. Needless to say, I spent much of my final years of college there, and discovered some of my favorite beers... (if anyone else here has been there, hit me up).
As of now, I live in Salisbury, NC... The best beer selection in my area (to my knowledge) is The Flying Saucer - in nearby Charlotte. I've been fortunate enough that there are a few wine stores and a Harris Teeter that carries a decent selection - but North Carolina apparently has a law regarding the alcohol content of beers, which means I cannot easily locate some items (Chimay and various barleywines come to mind - sadly this means I haven't been able to "torture" any beer newbies with an Old Crusty... ;-) ).
Just a few of my Favorite Beers (in no particular order):
- Tetleys
- Celebrator
- Rogue's Dead Guy Pale Ale (which I am enjoying while I type this)
- Guinness
- Franziskaner Dunkle Heffe-Weisse
- Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
- Sammy Smith's Oatmeal Stout
- Michelob Amber Bock
- Dixie Blackened Voodoo
- Woodchuck Amber
