What beer makes you believe in God?

[Kid Gleason]

This needs to be done. You all know it does, as it is the only one of these religion polls that actually matters.

[southsider2k5]

So many beers... so little time.

 

My personal fav was a real Canadian Labatts 50-50. In the US its Blue Moon.

[OldRetiredGuy]

I guess for the purposes of this poll I believe in Polytheism.

Wheres the choice for Schlitz?

[LosMediasBlancas]

Haven't we done this before?

Someone pull up the old ones.

You have an "Other" option. Then list it.

It just seemed awful timely right now with Juggs going on and on. I was sure there may have been a beer poll before, as this is a message board on the internet and it is not a wholey original topic, but I wasn't sure if it was related to God before, and it probably did NOT have a Trappist product in there, and that is the "trick" in this poll.

Kwok.

 

Or Peach Morte Subite.

 

I don't even drink, but maybe if I lived in Belgium it would be a different story. . . Belgium is my spiritual beer homeland--must make pilgrimage.

Belgium Beer =

My favorite would have to be the Leffe Blonde (I'll let Jim the beer expert explain further if he wishes).

[FlaSoxxJim]

Aaargh!! I can't answer in a BEER POLL! My perspective is that beer makes it OK even if there is no God.

 

Westvleteren is outstanding, but Chimay gets the nod for me as for my favorite Trappist offering. And I find myself drinking the White most often even if it is not as challenging to the pallate. From a brewing perspective, getting a perfect tripel - perfect balance between body, flavor, color, and strength - is a more difficult prospect than a high octane dark Belgian ale, and Brother Theodore and the monks have absolutely nailed it with the cinq cents.

 

I'd have to say Arrogant Bastard is out of the running simply because it has SATAN on the label. Stone brews gorgeous stuff though.

 

Somewhat related tangent: Speaking of beers with Satan as mascot, my first experience with Young's Old Nick was interesting. I was an undergrad and just getting turned on to beer beyond the megas and a friend and I each picked up a six-pack of Old Nick. We didn't know what a barleywine was or anything, but we commented at the time that a beer with the devil on the label is probably trying to warn you about something. Anyway, we each slammed a few of those en route to a Jethro Tull show (Catfish Rising tour, great show). WHAM! about 20 minutes into the show, Old Nick hit us full on. The worst part, of course, was that the only thing you could buy at the concert was megaswill that you couldn't even taste after that.

Look at all the love for the Belgians!!!

 

You guys rock.

 

And SS, if you think Blue Moon is good, go to the source of inspiration and get spme Hoegarden. Heaven (and God may or may not live there. )

 

DBAHO as for the technical explanation of why you like the Leffe: it's what we beer folks call real real good.

The name for some reason brings God to mind. The Fall (stations of the cross) & the Staff (Moses).

 

The beer itself is damn good!

It's not Satan you goof, it's a gargoyle. They use it on all of their stuff.

[SoxFan1]

Don't drink but I had to put it:

 

 

"Red Stripe.......Beer! Hoooray Beer!"

Dude, I am sooo the Devil and you don't know what the f*** you're talking about. Oh yeah, your mother sews socks that smell.

I'd love to try it and all, but where the hell would I find it around Michigan City?

Zeke's in Dowajiac Michigan usually has it if you're up for the drive. Other than that, you just have to pick some up next time your in Chicago.

Hmmm, I'll have to check at some of the downtown liquor stores. If not I'll have to see if I can find a big chain to have it.

Interesting side note:

 

I went to a beer fest not too long ago. While I was there I stopped by the Goose Island table. I spoke with them for a bit, and mentioned how I love their IPA, Demolition, and Pere Jaques, and the new Icarus. I told them that actually, the only downside was the fact that they were such HUGE Cub fans. Well, the girl behind the booth told me she would confide in me. I said "what?" and she proceeded to tell me how the owners of Goose Island were actually HUGE White Sox fans, but due to their location, they chose to stroke it to the Cubs just for promotions and to help build the customers that wander in after games.

 

Then she called a guy over, and he was one of the owners, and he backed up everything she said.

 

Now granted, they may have just been blowing me smoke, but it was cool enough by me and made me feel a little bit better about drinking their product.
