Weihenstephaner makes some good stuff.
I had one of my decades-long standbys last night: a Lagunitas IPA. Still good.

Lagunitas makes some good beer, too.
Mind you, I haven't had one for quite some time.
Nevertheless, do enjoy.
I had a good wine recently that I had picked up at Costco on sale. The Arsonist Red Blend was normally $15 and was on sale for $11. I needed a wine for some steaks that I was grilling and decided on this. It was a really good match for the steak. A little on the fruit/jammy side when first starting out. Even though I did use an aerator, it was much better after breathing with a bit more spice by the end of the glass.
Had a few German beers myself over the past weekend. One of my favorits is Hoegaarden! I can drink that beer all day long. Easy sipping, super clean, and just down right a good!

I always enjoy a chilled Budweiser.
If I were a moderator, I'd drop the banhammer for that remark! This is an enthusiast thread.
Anchor Brewing announced they are drastically cutting back their distribution and eliminating their line of seasonable beers. I haven't had Anchor Steam very often since moving from San Francisco to New York, but now I'll have no option except when I go back to California to visit. It's a real shame.
For anyone interested in beer visiting San Francisco, a tour of the Anchor brewery is a must.

Oh, yes: Well said.If I were a moderator, I'd drop the banhammer for that remark! This is an enthusiast thread.
Why do you want to ban me? Budweiser is a beer, and my message revealed that I am an enthusiast for it.If I were a moderator, I'd drop the banhammer for that remark! This is an enthusiast thread.
Lighten up, Francis! Of course you're allowed to be an enthusiast for any beer you'd like, but we reserve the right to give you crap for it.
Lol you had me! Good one!Lighten up, Francis! Of course you're allowed to be an enthusiast for any beer you'd like, but we reserve the right to give you crap for it.
All in good humour @AlphaMirage you did mention Yamazaki and I have never tried Japanese whisky how does it compare to Scotch? I do think there is a whisky thread somewhere...
Yes, there is (or was) a whisky thread somewhere.
Re Japanese whisky, all I know is that it is (at its best) highly regarded, but I have never tried any.
I live in California and have had a many Anchor Steam beers. I haven't visited the brewery, but I have had a few of their brews over the years. I hope this isn't the first step in either selling or closing down.

I have never heard of that brewery (Anchor Stream); unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have put in an appearance This Side of The Pond.
They were locally owned for many, many years, and were only recently purchased by Sapporo.
Their history is fascinating, and they are one of the few producers of a style of beer called California Common Beer, or Steam Beer.

Oh wow, I had absolutely no idea they were purchased by Sapporo. Always loved their beer.
If you're anywhere near London, I'm happy to bring a six-pack across the pond with me on the 27th.
That is a very kind offer.If you're anywhere near London, I'm happy to bring a six-pack across the pond with me on the 27th.
However, I'm not in the country just now, and won't be back until July.
