If this forum would be a bar....

.... and it had all the beers of the world on tap, which one would you recommend me to try and why?

Schlenkerla Rauchbier (dark smoked beer) from Bamberg, Germany. It's absolutely unique, tasty and you'll hate the first one.

RUM

FrankB · January 18, 2013, 07:17:08 AM

ok, I guess a Rum in between the beers is acceptable! ;-)

Next time you visit me Frank I'll take you to a Belgium Beer bar here.
As you may know Belgium beers have a unique rich taste and they're not bitter.

As long as it is beer or real ale and not that light fizzy larger stuff

I can only stomach larger if the weather is seriously HOT!

of course the planetside bar would also have to have computers for TG, Dual Xeon CPU Render farm/nodes located near the bar counter, Mac / PC computers for by the tables for ppl to work on their scenes.

Well, I don't know your particular taste. I'd say one beer I think everyone has to try if possible, because it's so very unique and also delicious, is "Campfire Stout": http://www.highwaterbrewing.com/campfirestout.php
It tastes like you're eating s'mores, but with beer. It is remarkable if only for how well it balances these unique and unusual flavors.

Marshmallow flavor???

Hannes · January 18, 2013, 04:54:48 PM

OK, I just googled "s'mores". Beer with cookie flavor. Hmmm...

Oshyan · January 18, 2013, 05:01:14 PM

It's definitely a "different" experience, but in a good way. Both of the two people I was with who tried it, both of them beer lovers (and one a rabid IPA/hops fan), said it was delicious, and one of the best beers they had tried that day (at a beer festival where we each had probably 30-40 samples). So... perhaps that answers your skepticism a bit?

Of course I would give it a try. It just sounds crazy!

otakar · January 18, 2013, 06:34:57 PM

That's a tough one. I'd say Bernard (http://www.bernard.cz/en/story/brewery.shtml). I prefer dark. Once you taste it, you can't stop
