Yeah, I just wanted to try an import to expand my palate for higher quality beer. The bartender behind the bar said it was a lager though

Hehe strongbow is probably the biggest cider brand in the UK. Very commercial, not particularly good. Although it is better than Blackthorn...
Id recommend Exhibition...If anyone else has drunk that cider, ill be impressed!
As for beer...there were a lot of names flying around i dont recognise. I gotta go sample some more. All i can add is that personally i find Hoegaarden a bit flowery...Ale wise I quite like Hobgoblin and Ringwood Fourty niner. Lager wise i like budvar and *blush* tiger beer
Ive also got a soft spot for Red Stripe not because its any good, but because i associate it with drowning my sorrows...A job it does well.
If you've never heard of it, the only thing you can do is break it down be style and take a chance. There's no way you're going to know whether or not it's good unless you try it.

I had Sierra Nevada's Bigfoot Barleywine '08 last night. Really raw, extreme hops. 9.6% Seemed rather unbalanced to me. Apparently you're supposed to let this one age for a while, so I'll probably stash the rest of the six pack after I set one aside to review this week.

Yeah, I had a couple of these recently. Definitely a strong hop bitterness. I think aging probably would smooth it out nicely.

Put up another review tonight. Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout. I was a bit disappointed because of the hype, but it's definitely not a bad brew.

I've wanted to try that myself for a while.
I agree, pretty good stuff. It's better than their Summer Ale.

I've never tried their summer ale. The Spring ale is the only Sam Adams I enjoy. A good summer brew is Goose Island.

I can't wait until I'm 19 and can sample different beers a little more easily. The Beer Store here has pretty good selection.

Innis & Gunn Oak Aged Beer is nice, but Innis & Gunn Island Cask was so much better imo, too bad it was really limited.

yeah I just had the Oak Aged Beer, and it did have quite the taste. The flavor was unique, but the beer itself wasn't the greatest, ya know?

A couple brews I tried for the first time tonight:
Weihenstephaner Original - A pretty solid helles lager. Pretty typical. Not the best I've tried.
Ayinger Bräu Weisse - This is probably the best weiss bier I've had so far. Franziskaner was probably my favorite up until this point, but this lacks a lot of the citrusy, fruity flavor of a Franziskaner which is fine by me. Highly recommended.
