What beer should I drink for Thanksgiving?

Question

The choice of beer is very important, as I will drink it all day and watch football. I do not drink garbage beer, such as Coors, Bud, Miller, or any other watered-down US crap. Right now I'm kinda feeling one of the following:

1. Brooklyn Lager
2. McSorleys
3. Newcastle Brown
4. Dos Equis amber
5. Sam Adams Winter Lager (if its out yet)

Keep in mind the fact that I will have a cooler right next to the couch to keep my beer ice cold, and I have my special glass Guiness mug. Also, my 20 month old is now trained to grab me a beer upon request. She cannot use an opener yet, but that won;t be an issue.
What say you?

Ajw appreciates the significance of this decision. For the idiots, there are American beers on the list. However, you do have a point. Thanksgiving is an American holiday, so I should drink something American. I'm leaning towards the Sam Adams WL. I feel that drinking it will have me looking forward to a festive Christmas season. The only downside is that it is a heavy beer. Drinking mass quantities of it will take a toll, usually on my colon. As for Guinness, way too heavy to drink solely for 8+ hours, unless it's St. Pats day.

I guess I should have included the fact that I don't really care what ugly chicks think about this important choice of mine.

Answer 1

This is a very serious question. This decision could have ripple effects that impact you long into the holiday weekend. I am prepared to offer you advice though the true decision must come from your own heart. I must raise a question that im sure others may be wondering....You have a special Guinness mug..so why not fill it with Guinness? Guinness is the ultimate of meat and potato beers in my opinion. That suggestion aside, if I have to pick from the list, I think you should go with the Sam Adams winter lager (it is out, I had some last weekend). I just feel that the winter lager has a more festive taste capable of creating a very festive buzz. Happy Thanksgiving and best wishes

Answer 2

the seasonal brew Winter Lager by Samuel Adams is out.
I just bought a six pack last night.
also the Samuel Adams Oktoberfest is a good choice.
Cheers!
Happy Holidays!

Answer 3

Teaching a 20 month old to grab you a beer upon request. I guess it would have to be a small cooler to fit in your trailer.

Try St. Ides Malt Liquor.

Answer 4

Hello Chief,

I am a very big fan of Brooklyn Lager, but I really must suggest also having cans of PBR as well as the BL. Not only is PBR very refreshing, but it will score you a lot of scene points with your child.

Best of luck.

sierra nevada celebration ale. recipe changes every year and is a closely guarded secret. i had a couple last night. tastes like a very hoppy amber like maybe killians or grolsch amber but with a strong hop finish. otherwise- go with the sam adams.

Answer 6

What type of an weirdo are you to ask that question in a public forum. Shouldn't you make that decision based on your own taste?

Beer is for weaklings. Go for the hard stuff.
