Adult Beverage Survey, Part 2


This week's topic for the ABS is..... ales. (Mr. Minority, Killian is a lager, not an ale, so you may not vote for it again!) According to the Beer Hunter, ales are
"The English-language term for a brew made with a top-fermenting yeast, which should impart to it a distinctive fruitiness. Ales are produced to a wide variety of colours, palates and strengths."
So, that can be taken to mean almost anything that isn't a lager, a pilsner or a lambic. For the sake of our discussion, let's keep it that way. If you like a Stout, fine by me. If it's a Trappist that you reach for, let me know. Hefewiesen? Fine by me.

Because of the range we're working with, you may nominate one from any/all categories of ales (i.e. 1 stout, one pale, one Scotch ale, etc. No, you can't nominate Guiness Stout and Young's Oatmeal Stout.)

My selections? hmmm... Abita Turbo Dog (Stout) and Shiner's Hefewiesen. I know it's only two- but those are the two I'd reach for first.
