Ask YC: Hacker beer of choice
As I settle in to watch this Celtics-Lakers game with my 6 pack of Fat Tire (New Belgium Brewing) I was curious, what is your personal hacker beer of choice?
- airhadoken 18y agoI'm always about keeping a variety around. For beers produced within my own country (USA), I like the products of Sam Adams (Boston Lager, Winter Lager, Summer Ale, and some of the other winter seasonals), Dogfish Head (Midas Touch, ##-minute IPAs), Wachusett (country ale, blueberry ale, "monsta" double IPA), Gritty McDuff's, Yuengling, and Oskar Blues (Old Chub). Import choices include any Irish stout (Guinness, Murphy's, Beamish), McEwan's Scotch ale, Bass IPA, Newcastle Brown, and Lindeman's framboise and kriek lambics.

- brianlash 18y agoI've been to Sharp Edge (Peters) but haven't tried Petrus. Thanks for the tip... anything to make sense of that sprawling-list-of-international-beers they call a menu helps!

- Shooter 18y agoFat Tire is good and New Belgium is a very interesting brewery because of their environmental efforts. http://www.newbelgium.com/sustainability2.php http://www.newbelgium.com/sustainability2.php Hacking beer is fun, but I'm not sure what the best hacker beer would be...

- brentr 18y agoGreat Lakes Brewery has several really good beers, though the best comes out only around Christmas time. If you are ever in the North Ohio region around Christmas time, I recommend picking up some of their Christmas Ale.
