I need to find that beer, stat! I’m a dark beer girl myself – my new obsession is New Belgium 1554 – yumo!

Even better: When I’m at the casino I get ‘em for free. And usually a copper camel as well. The two together are near perfect.

T, I love Newcastle! It’s one of my fav beers and “go to” when I’m out. It can be tricky though and get skunky fast which is why I stopped buying it for home use. I’m interested in stouts and have been looking for some.

Not sure I’ve had the Honey Porter, but I like Sam Adams beers. I’m not a ‘fruit’ beer guy, so I won’t drink anything like that, but if you want to try a wheat beer that’s good, I suggest Hefeweizen. It’s usually served with a slice of orange ala the ‘Corona and Lime; thing.

I’d also suggest Cream Stout, which is one of my atf’s.

If you want to really splurge, try Newcastle Brown Ale. It’s expensive, but fantastic.

Haven’t tried this one, but I love porters. Although, wheat beers are actually my favorite. :) Sam Adams has a Blackberry wheat beer out that is really good.

Glad you found one you like. Maybe wheat beer will grow on you someday. ;)Once I had it in Germany I was sold. I’ll admit the ones we get in the US are no where close.

This is like one of my favorite beers ever. It’s so delicious. There’s a local brewery here in Amherst that makes a Honey Pilsner that’s like a lighter version of this. It’s fabulous!
