Any good beer bread recipes?

Faves:
Sierra Nevada-Pale Ale, Porter, Celebration
Fire Rock Pale Ale
Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stoudt

Others I'll have fairly often:
Samuel Adams
Grolsch
Pacifico
Dos Equis (at our fave mexi food joint)

And I'll pick up various microbrews when I'm on the north shore, where this lil mom&pop shop alwys has a different selection available.

Never drink the bottled water brands mentioned in the OP.

ChainsawCharlie

Yes, i'm a beer snob.

Dan_Watson

HAHA Im a beer snob as well.
We have alot of fairly local microbrews with great craft beers. I favor the IPA's and pale ales. Sierra-Nevada Pale Ale is good, Ive like the Grolsch. Ive started keeping one bottle out of every new beer I try on a shelf unit. Its filling up quickly. One of the local stores has a huge selection, and they have a build your own six pack option.

I like Moose Drool, Guinness extra stout, Sam Adams, Star Wheat Beltian White and Pig's Ass Porter from Harvest Moon (a small brewery in Belt Montana) and, believe it or not, Keystone light for fishing LOL

We have a couple breweries here-

Kona Breweries-makers of Fire Rock (My personal #1)
And Keoki's Brewing-they make a damned good one I forgot to mention-Sunset. It's a 'red' beer. Mighty fine, too.

I think Kona has their beers in CA now. If you see Fire Rock Pale Ale, I highly recommend it.

HA! I always thought that was Homer Simpson.

Great stuff. Haven't seen it in ages. Forgot all about it.

Is Sam Adams any good? I have always wanted to try it,but haven't had the chance yet, plus i'm afraid to pay for it and then not like it.

You cant be afraid to try new things with beers. Try it while you are out, and then its only one glass wasted, or try and find a liquor/beer store that sells beer by the bottle and just get one bottle.

Buy a bottle at the local restaurant with your steak....if you don't like it, say the steak was cooked poorly and you'll get a free meal ya cheap bastard.

You don't have to buy an entire keg...LMAO

You BUY toilet paper?
I get all mine free from the portable toilets on my job and then complain to the toilet company that they don't leeve enough when they service the units.
Plus, there always seems to be plenty of it lying around for free in restaurants and bars. Offsets the price of the beers.
