Seems to be alot of discussion on what beer and types of beer liked by all attending The Gathering in Las vegas in March
Seems Oveur has a likeing to single malts..
kieron told me he likes ALL beer...
Some fans have actually asked what we will have for beer....as in types available.
so I am asking all FANS and ANYONE to defend your BEER!
Also we have the ability to have distributors bring in what beer we choose during this event....
maybe you could sway what BEER we have on tap or in bottles...
by the way BEER IN CANS is NOT allowed (thats my personnel own rule)

I unfourtunately can't attend, but can I defend some beers anyway?? 
Try for some Chimay (white is good, blue is better). You gotta get the nifty Chimay glasses though - its not the same without.

Always been partial to Steiner Bock, but another really good one is Spaten Optimator.
Best beer ever is a local beer from Austria, in a town called Sankt P÷lten. Can't remember the name though, and can't find it right now. Oh well. :) -- Lil Miner |

I'm not coming, but Danish and German beer is what you should go for. Though, considering this is in the US, I'd say go with anything as long as it's not US beer.

For US beers, anything from New Belgium (Fort Collins, Colorado) is awesome. I particularly enjoy 'Sunshine', although by far their most popular brew is 'Fat Tire'. I also highly recommend Pyramid (All across the western US) brews, in particular their hefewiezen.
For Canadian beers, I highly recommend anything from Unibroue, with my favorites being 'La Fin Du Monde' and 'Maudite'.
Anyone who bases the quality of US beer on Budweiser, Miller, and Coors has a lot to learn about the state of brew in North America. I've consumed beer on a fair portion of this planet we call home and have sampled brews imported directly from most of the places where I have not yet personally set foot, and I have yet to taste the vastly superior beer that so many people claim exists everywhere except the States. To those of you who want to experience beer at its best, a simple visit to any Seattle brewpub should do the trick. The vibrance of the local microbrew community and the dedication to the art and science of making beer has, in my opinion, no greater home. To the naysayers among you, continue to live in ignorance. It is, as they say, 'bliss'.

IÆll second what Eschwen is saying. IÆve traveled a bit around the world and the beer up here in the Pacific NW can hang with any of them. Even the mighty Germans. One year in college I had a roommate from Austria, even he was quite impressed.
Not really sure how wide the distribution is. If you can get Pyramid in LV, then that would be a pretty good choice. Their Hefe is popular. Though IÆm fond of their Snow Cap winter brew. Just stay away from the Big Three.

Sadly, I haven't the money or time to fly out.
However, I declare you a heathen, for the one true beer, Guinness, is perfectly cromulent from the can. Thanks to advanced beer can technology(tm), the froth flows smoothly.
Of course, it's not as good as the real thing, straight from the tap.

Since we're discussing beer anyway. If you ever find a beer called Pripps Blue, run away! It doesn't even qualify as beer.

Yuengling Lager is a good beer. Although its hard to find, its found in Pennsylvania/New York/New Jersey area, and in Florida, and a few other places. Definitely a good lager though. Red Stripe is also a nice lager, but its imported from Jamaica.
/not going just defending that not all american beer sucks //yes I have drank imports, favorite imports usually end up being belgian though.

We have many respectable microbrews, and quite a few regional beers, but there are few really good nationwide-availability bears. Sam Adams is the exception that you're likely to find in every bar in the nation.

If you want to be practical, then American Imports or American Breweries would be the most economical solution to cool beverages during the festivities. May I suggest the following:
It might be beneficial to find out the particular pallet of those who will be attending. What are the folks partial to?
American Ales: Ambers Barley Wine Black and Tan's Double Porters IPA's Porters Sours Stouts
American Lagers:
All-Malts Ambers Double Pilsners Malts Pilsners
Plus there's Meads and Ciders, and don't forget Hybrids that tend to have fruity or smoky undertones for those hip urbanites that prefer sweetness and "the look" over flavour and complexity.
Living in the area of the US where micro-brews first became mainstream, there are hundreds of suggestions I would have, including my own home-brew. But logistically only mainstream micro-brews would likely be available in Las Vegas. The Hotel would likely have a list of distributors they have in-house that you can choose from, hopefully some than the masses can generally accept and enjoy.
May your glasses always be full and your beer always cold!

You my good sir have excellent taste. I would also like to throw in two other micro-breweries: Pike Brewery (Seattle) and Deschutes River Brewery (Bend, Oregon). Pike makes a Scottish ale called "Kilt Lifter" that will knock your freakin socks off.
Deschutes has several different beers and they are all top notch, easily as good as anything I ever had in Germany or England. My particular favorite from Deschutes is "Quail Springs IPA" an India Pale Ale...mmmmmmmmmmm Kent Golding hops...aaalllrghghgh (ala Homer Simpson).
All you Europeans need to get a load of the Northwestern United States' micros...guarantee it will change your views on American beer. I didn't appreciate German or English beer until I went there and had the local...read NON EXPORT...beers.
and to the poster who said beer in cans is unacceptable unless its a 20gallon can with a tap...you get the A+ for today

Edited by: Rowgue on 23/02/2006 06:52:50 Comercial beers in the United States are bland because rice is substituted in for some of the grain giving it a lighter body and flavor. It's inspired by pilsners for a customer base that prefers a less intense brew. But as has already been mentioned decisions at those monster brew factories are made on what sells and not what makes a good beer, so they are not a good indicator of the quality of American beer in general just as Guiness (exported) is a poor example of the best Europe has to offer.
Myself I started brewing my own creations about ten years ago. No storebought brew from any country can come close to approaching the quality of even my poorest attempt.
Save for a couple of local micro breweries where the beer is brewed by people who know their stuff and served fresh I can't even bring myself to drink anything not made by myself or one of my friends that also practice the art.

Both of these peole have very good tastes, cant go wrong with anything these two have to say.
If you can get your hands on it, dogfish head, most everything they have is very tantilizing. Their World Wide Stout is very tasty, and at 20%, not 20 proof, 20%, will set you down really quick. Sadly it is a seasonal brew, most everything they put out is good, stay away from the raspberry.

My personal preferance would be the Norwegian beer Dahls since there's no better brand of beer,and because they brew it (or at least used to brew it) in the city where I live. Anyone who decides to visit Norway should drink a gallon or two of it,you'll know what I mean.
