I went by the liquor store on the way home today and made another 6 pack although I didn't try any tonight as they weren't cold enough: the Budweiser Copper Lager with Jim Beam (I've had it before but wanted another), Not You Father's Fruit Punch, Not Your Father's Moutain Ale Citrus Brew, Harpoon Winter Warmer (they got me on the Cinnamon & Nutmeg ingredients), Harpoon Dunkin' Coffee Porter (which I'm expecting to be terrible but curious enough to try it) and one which I've never heard before, Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Urbock
You Sir are bolder than me, I love how you branch way out and try beers you know you may not even like.
I like to try many varieties as well but stay in my lane.
I saw the copper lager bud, might try one. My distributor has them in large bottle in cedar case.

Thanks DP, I like trying new things. If I don't like it, I won't get it again. And, at least this way I'm only out a single rather than an entire 6-pack. The Copper wasn't bad actually. Tasted almost like a craft beer. I'm typically not a Budweiser fan as I don't like their lager or light (taste too watered down to me). However, they do have some that I do enjoy like Bud Ice and the Bud Light Lime.
Drinking the Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Urbock and I actually quite like it. It's described as a smokebeer which I've never heard before but obviously, it has a smokey taste to it. Not bad at all.
Well I was right on the Harpoon Dunkin' Coffee Porter, it's nasty. Beer and coffee, yuck! I'm not a coffee drinker, hence the reason I knew I wouldn't enjoy it, but I was curious enough to. Strong at least at 6% alcohol by volume

Do you like peanut butter? Try this one: Sweet Baby Jesus.

LOVE Peanut Butter. I'll have to see if I can find that. Thanks for the heads up! Since my last post I've tried both the Not Your Father's Moutain Ale Citrus Brew and Harpoon Winter Warmer. I find the Sam Adams White Christmas has more flavor than the Harpoon Winter Warmer (they both have cinnamon & nutmeg) but the Harpoon was good. As was the Not Your Father's Mountain Ale Citrus Brew. It was what I expected it to be: an alcoholic Mountain Dew.
Which one do you like better: The Pole Star Pilsner or the Rauchbier?
Pole Star Pilsner ( Left Hand Brewery) for sure, I am picking up a case that I ordered tomorrow and will get some others while there as well including the Old Fezzie Wig ( Sam Adams) and Celebration ( Sierra Nevada) these are my Holiday beers. I will also get the Old Dirty Bastard ( Founders ) and Blue Point Winter Ale.
If you can get any of these, I think you would like them however keep in mind the ODB founders is a beer fermented in whiskey barrels and taste like a boiler maker ( Shot of whisky in your brew).
Enjoy i12, If you cant get any of these and want to try them , let me know ...I’ll send ya some.

I did find this. Thanks for the recommendation. It wasn't bad. Never had a beer with peanut butter flavor in it before. I won't lie, I would have liked a little bit more but it wasn't bad.

Here's a good one that a guy who worked in the store recommended for me. I asked him if they sold McSorley's and he said no. I haven't been able to find it in years and the reason for that is because a few years ago they stopped mass producing it. So he recommended this to me as an alternative to their lite beer, which I find very comparable. It's not McSorley's but until they start producing it again, this is as close as you'll get.
Currently trying a Brooklyn Brewery's Bel-Air Sour. Last year was the first time I ever tried a gose and even though this isn't advertised as one, I still wanted to give it a shot. I'm not a fan of Brooklyn Brewery honestly and at first taste I didn't care for this, but after a few more, it's kinda growing on me. But I still probably wouldn't buy a 6 pack of it. This was recently in another 6 pack I made for myself which consisted of: Sam Adams Cold Snap (I've had it before but wanted to try another again), Guinness 200th Anniversary Export Stout (wasn't a huge fan and didn't taste much of a difference compared to regular Guinness), Guinness Blonde (I think I had had it before but I didn't like it this time around), Guinness Extra Stout (which I would recommend. It has a little bit of a punch to it at 7.5% alcohol) and Ballast Point - Victory At Sea (I got this because it was another peanut butter beer. Wasn't bad but they're all porter's and I'm not much of a porter fan).

I try to read into some of your choices and Taste.....
Try the Sam Adams Noble Pils.... it comes out in Spring, best on Tap at Resturants or in keg.
Brooklyn Brewery beers are typically stronger pours. Try the Brooklyn Brown Ale.
Try any English Style Brown Ale, this might be your happy medium in brew.
Have you ever tried Bass Ale, if not do so,, if so, try again and let me know what you think of that stuff.
I don't believe I've had the Sam Adams Noble Pils. I'm not sure how I feel about Pilsners but I know I'm definitely not an IPA man (and for some reason I feel IPA's and Pilsners are similar). I think I've tried Bass Ale before and enjoyed it. As for English Style Brown Ale, I've had Newcastle and enjoy that.

The Sam Pils comes out in Spring, it Good.
The Pilsner vs IPA...to me the pilsner is lighter and no heavy hop flavor like IPA. I like both.
I have recently enjoyed a Austrian Beer, it was fantastic. so smooth and full flavor of light fruit / flowering taste.
Came in a variety pack over the holidays, hope I can find it again.... here is a pic.
