Dive beer?

[Eric Sedletzky]

Forget all the rest of the stuff about divinjg, here's what's REALLY important.
What's your favorite dive beer after a good hard day of diving?

Where I live there are more micro breweries than gas stations. Some of the beer is darn good but strong. Some of it is overdone with to much hops and bitterness like all the IPA's. I like some of them if I'm camping out and diving, but generally I like just good 'ol cheap beer like Pabst blue ribbon, hamm's or another recently rediscovered cheap beer is Oly.
Yeah I know their the bottom of the barrel but I like them, they're refreshing, especially after diving and with some fish and chips or other hardy meal, mmmmm.

What about you?
Anybody in foreign lands let's hear about your beer.

I live in wine country but wine doesn't appeal to me as an after dive beverage (yuk!)

Sam Adams cherry wheat or Shiner Bock Dark.

Hmm, well I guess Amstel or Polar, but only because I associate those beers with Bonaire, I never drink them at home.

That being said, I have different preferences. I mostly like a light, crisp beer after diving such as a Corona w/ lime, or a Landshark, icey cold.

But sometimes I will prefer a heavier brew, such as a Yuengling, or a Bass Ale. I will never turn down an Otter Creek Octoberfest no matter what time of year. Barring that a Sam Adams can be nice and refreshing after a dive as well.

But I really prefer the lighter beers when diving, they seem to finish cleaner.

Sam Adams cherry wheat or Shiner Bock Dark.

I have had Shiner for the first time this year. Wish they would export farther north, both the yellow and black labels are very nice.

If you get the chance, try a Brooklyn Brewery Chocolate Stout. If you like the SB dark, you will like that one as well...

Here's another one I really like in the custom class.
Click onto 'our beers' then click 'next beer'. That should take you to "Great White". That's some darn tasty stuff!

The Lost Coast Brewery - Our Beer!

Well me being a homebrewer, I can put my two cents in. I am a hop head, so IPA's and ESB are desert to me. I also like Czechvar and Pilsner Urquell. These are two very refreshing beers you ought to try. They great to have after cutting the grass in 90deg temps plus 105% humidity.

One of my favourites has to be Steamwhistle pilsner. Steam Whistle Brewing

I also like Sleeman Cream Ale. Both are brewed locally.

Guineness... for all occasions!

Smithwicks Ale ... if I can't get a Guinness!

Leinie's Berry Weiss, Honey Weiss or Red ... on a hot day!

Fosters ... on a really hot day!
