Why would a German beer have the Spanish name "Crazy Aunt", much less that particular subject matter.
I doubt one could find that label here.
Who would want to?

I would buy it just for the campy label. It's not often you come across a German Beer with a Spanish name and Hitler as a marketing scheme. My crazy aunt Hitler ha ha ha ha. I don't drink a lot of beer, but when I do I prefer microbrews and European beers.

And, everyone who likes microbrews or imported beers should get to know Unibroue. They are a brewer out of Quebec Canada whose old world brewing methods have been responsible for some of my most memorable and sublime beer experiences. Nothing quite like a glass of "La Fin Du Monde" and a brown to bright va flake.
Cheers.

Here in San Diego County we are fortunate to have some great small brewers, even a couple you might have heard of. Karl Strauss and Stone Brewery come to mind. I also like Guinness and Smithwicks (draft) Bass Ale, Bohemia and Pacifico (Mexican), Sam Adams produces some tasty stuff (their honey Porter is a favorite) as does Full Sail, Pyramid, Anchor Steam and...now I'm thirsty.

I am all about the Spaten Optimator. That is one delicious beer!
Mason jars and bale top jars, mason jars and bale top jars.... that is all!

Dune summed it up pretty good for me (some days nothin' beats a cold bud) but I do enjoy Sam Adams products especially Winter Lager.
A few more favorites: Lion Stout, Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock, Bell's Best Brown, and Old Rasputin.

not a lot of beer consumed these days, but in times past there was a Japanese beer called Sapporo that was pretty decent--the import isn't much good--it was wonderful on Hokkaido--
American beers are ok if you're thirsty--pabst blue ribbon or bud work for me--in my bachelor days i had a seven course meal every night; a 25 cent burrito and a 99 cent six pack of texas pride--

If I'm drinking American it is almost always Sam Adams. The mass produced beers by Miller and A. Busch usually offend my pallat. I'm loving the craft beer movement that America is going through, though. I also like the darker European beers. I like Guinness, Belhaven Scottish Stout, and Meredsous 8. IPA's are also pretty good. I'll drink some of the lighter beers such as pilsners, but it's gotta be from someone that takes a little more pride in their work than most American styles. The greatest beer I've ever had was St Sebastian's Grande Reserve. I paid $16 for a pint and it was worth it, but I've not found it since that one time.

I like beer, I wouldn't say I'm a pro about it, but I definitely know what I like, and that's what matters.
My current favorites: Lagunitas IPA, New Belgium Ranger IPA
Other favorites that I can always go back to: Hoegaarden, Blue Moon, Fat Tire, and Boddington's.One beer that I absolutely loved, but don't know if I'd ever purchase again was a limited edition Sam Adam's Chocolate Bock. It was $15 for a bottle of beer; it was like the chocolate wine of beers - in fact, it even looked like a wine bottle, aside from the pieces of metal fixed to it. Was it worth the $15? To me, it definitely was.

Just keep going Joe, when you get to your 250th beer, then you can make a decision as to wether or not you like beer!

Sounds good! Nothing like a nice slice of beer with lunch!!

That's the way i like it. Old Rasputin is my personal absolute favorite. I will have to try irish death. i mainly like maltier things and shun this new 64 and 55 calorie piswater craze, not to name brand names.

I used to drink a lot of Falls City. My friends used to make fun of me for it. The brew disappeared for a couple years and is now back with a throwback to their 1930's pale ale. I can't wait to try it. It's made nearby in Louisville, KY and is on tap in several places.
One thing I hated about the old cases is that you could barely carry one across the parking lot before the handle tore. The same with Sterling.
Edit: Thinking back, I used to get a lot of grief for drinking PBR too; now it's hip and nearly cliche.

Yeingling also makes an Ale. Lord Chesterfield Ale very good in moderation.

They always advertised Hudepohl at the Cincinnati Reds baseball games since it was made there. My parents always drank that or Weidemans Beer since we lived below there.

I know this is an old thread but one I can't help reviving!
Beer is my first love and I feel compelled to discuss it wherever possible. It can be full of flavour, utterly thirst quenching, a drink of moderation, contemplation and celebration. I hope some day I can directly make my living from beer. (I currently work in a liquor store, so that's a start.)
Unfortunately our liquor board is heavily biased towards wine and we have one of the worst beer selections in the country. With that said, I haven't tried too many brands or styles. My favourite beer to date was Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout. Rich with just enough sweetness and carbonation for balance, smooth and full of a molasses-cocoa character. A lightweight at 7% alcohol as Imperial Stouts go, it was just warm and roasty enough to give me joy. I'm down to my last two bottles after buying almost three dozen available for a limited time at $5 a pop last March. Fuller's London Porter comes in second - my girlfriend brought a few bottles back from Halifax and I really enjoyed drinking them as I smoked.
These days I find I don't have any go-to beer. Probably Pilsner Urquell because it's clean tasting yet well made and hoppy compared to everything else we have available. I took to home brewing not too long ago because I was sick and tired of having no options. Even the three microbreweries we have locally are no good. Due to space constraints, I can only do extract with grains, but the batches I have made so far were superior to what I've been buying and at a much lesser price. For a six pack of domestic like Canadian or Budweiser, you're looking at $12.50; six pack of Newcastle Brown for example, almost $16.50. Just as bad as our tobacco taxes. The impulse that drives me to make my own beer is actually the same one that has me seeking out imported tins for my pipe - a desire to make my own choices.
Are there any other home brewers out there? For low cost beyond your initial start up, you can use high quality malt, hops, and liquid yeasts for fresh and authentic tasting beer! I never thought I could do it, I really encourage anyone who's curious to give it a try. It's easy to start, a lifetime to master.
It's not too late to amend your Christmas Wishlists!

Without listing my favorite beers which nobody is really interested in anyhow, I'll just say;
I love good beer,...from Heileman’s Old Style at a Cubs game to a Chimay Bleue and most everything in between. I absolutely LOVE the stuff.
As long as it ain't skunky, brewed by Coors, or made from some kind of @*&^ing fruit,…I will probably like it.

OK, now I have to chime in, but all the beers listed are pretty good, but after spending 23 + years back and forth in Germany I consider myself a beer Conesour and there are many great beers out in the world, most from Germany so, for you beer lovers out there, here are a few you need to try and find and taste, then tell me what a real beer taste like. You guys have listed a few good german beers but those are the run of the mill imports to the US.
If you can find these try them you will like them, "Sam I am" (oh sorry wrong story)
Try these:Köstritzer, very dark and smokey beer (great with a good pipe) brewed in the former East Germany an dstill has its old brewing traditions.
Jever, a real Pils (no "er") good bitter taste. One of my favorites.
Mönchshof Pils or Schwarz Pils, good bitter taste and flavor that is undescribable, brewed to this day by monks in a monestary.
Diebles Alt Bier, translates into "Old Beer" nothing Old about it just great flavor.
Krombacher Pils, good flavor and good taste.
Radeberger Pilsner very tasty.
That's just a few of the ones I enjoyed daily
Let me know what you think if you can find them.

pstlpkr:
Mouse beer is actually a long lost historical style up here in Canada being revived by craft brewers to great critical acclaim. The texture takes awhile to get used to, but the flavour can't be beat! Bob and Doug were well ahead of the curve...With that said, I'm not that bold and if I was a brewer I'd have to employ tamer ingredients. I'll stick to barley over animal matter any day. On a serious note, I'm considering going back to school to enter the field in the next couple years. We'll see!
As long as it ain't skunky, brewed by Coors, or made from some kind of @*&^ing fruit,…I will probably like it.
Amen, Tommy... I don't have time for anything that's watered down, cut with corn or rice to lessen flavour, or bottled in green or clear glass - everything else is fair game. It's definitely my favourite form of drink, alcoholic or otherwise.Yuri, the only one of those I ever had was Radeburger - I thought it was an alright pils. There are very few imported beers in my province. NL Liquor Search - Sort by Beer It's sad.
As for Guinness, I will always have a soft spot for it because it was my earliest introduction to the world beyond light lager. Stouts and porters - I haven't had many but they are my favourites. I like them warmer than they usually serve it on tap, however...
