− | Here's a list of some suggestions on good beers many have offered.
| + | #REDIRECT [[Beers]] |
− | | |
− | A great first beer to try is a Williams favorite: Milwaulkee's Best aka "The Beast". Excellent, full flavor--it's a real beer experience. Yet light enough to play Beirut or Flipcup with. Very well priced for such a great beer. Also, it will taste like urine to you if you've ever tried any of the real beers suggested below:
| |
− | | |
− | Try one of the Belgian offers that are usually available at Cole ave. and even spring street:
| |
− | | |
− | Hoegaarden Witbier (white beer) 5%alc.
| |
− | | |
− | Blanche de Bruges (white beer)
| |
− | | |
− | Duvel (golden ale, absolutely amazing) 10%alc.
| |
− | | |
− | Grimbergen Tripple (abbey/trappist ale)
| |
− | | |
− | Lindeman's Lambic ale (flavored with cherries, peaches, etc...it's a highly unique beverage)
| |
− | | |
− | Commentary on the above: Hoegaarden > Blanche de Bruges. Duvel and Grimbergen are tasty. Lindeman's tastes very different from normal beers, but there is no essential difference in the method of brewing. For a nice selection of Belgians, try the Beverage Den on Rt. 7 in Bennington. They've got Orval, Chimay, Rochefort, Witkap Pater, Cantillon Gueuze, Saison Dupont, de Ranke xx Bitter, and some other stuff. For cheaper belgian style beers, Allagash, Unibroue, and Ommegang are all awesome.

− | If you hate the Belgians (and, after all, who doesn't?), here are some other great brews (usually available at Spring st.):
| |
− | | |
− | Samuel Smith - the whole range: Oatmeal Stout, Imperial Stout, Taddy Porter, Pale Ale, Nut Brown Ale, Winter Welcome Ale.
| |
− | | |
− | Unibroue Le Fin du Monde
| |
− | | |
− | Celebrator Doppelbock
| |
− | | |
− | Stone Imperial Stout
| |
− | | |
− | Otter Creek is absolutely fantastic. I especially recommend the Vermont Lager, but all varieties are very tasty.
| |

− | BBC brews up some mean beers. Almost anything by them is great, except for the Steel Rail Extra Pale Ale. Support local beer!
