Beer

[Kryptonite]

Tap or bottle?
Domestic or import?
Green or black?

Tap - because it's still alive.

I shun the big domestics. I support the craft brewers.

I'm a sucker for anything Belgian.

[Chicago1871]

In the right place: tap. However, there are some pretty good bottled.
Small domestic, imported adventures can be fun and sickening at the same time. [This past summer my friends and I spent our drinking nights at a beer garden. It was our goal to try everyone of the 35 countries they had...we got to 27. Some were good, some were great, some were horendous.
Green?

I would think that Ireland would have some green beer. ;)
Heineken has a green bottle



And there's too many shitty beers.

Pabst Blue Ribbon
Anything "lite"
And about 15 others.


Stay away from Budweiser. Except if it's at a US Soccer tailgate. They spend too much time thinking they're #1.

[kebzach]

Stay away from Kryptonite. He thinks he's too good for Budweiser products.

As for me, I'll drink Bud Light any day of the week.

[WarrenWallace]

All Budweiser products give the the sh!ts the next day. That and when I drink regular Budweiser, it gives me an aweful headache (after just a couple of beers). I don't mind Miller Lite but won't drink just MGD or High Life. Would rather drink Leinenkugels.

Is that the George Killian's stuff? (In a gold can)

If so - be careful with that.

I remember going on holiday to France with the school for a few weeks. I recall it was that stuff that helped the days fly by in some alcoholic haze.
Ok I was only 14 (gotta love those French licensing laws) but it's still stuff not to be messed with IMO.

It's all about Fat Tire, homeys.

Or Michelob Ultra if you're calorie counting, only 95 of em.

Hey can we merge redwhiteandblue's old beer thread with this one?

my old roomie in college used to have a sister that worked/lived in out in denver, colorado, when she would come visit us she would bring us each a case of fat tire. that was one fine woman!

but it tastes like crap...

[Cannonfodder]

Doesn't Amstel light only have like 95 calories too? And that is better tasting beer than Bud Light or Miller lite.

A yes, Amstel Light, sorority chick piss beer.

That Ultra stuff is crap. Fat Tire is good stuff. Ski towns always have good Micro beer.

Belgium is paradise for beer lovers. Beer is important enough that each type of beer is served in a different kind of glass.

[JackTown55]

As a college freshman I have had many a beer as of late so I can chime in.

I drink anything with alcohol, lots of cheap crap too so any chance I get at good beer I take.

My favorite: Guinness

Others I like:
Corona
Newcastle
Sam Adams
Heineken

Drink purely for alcohol:
Killians
Bud
Coors
Rolling Rock

Beer thats not even worth the alcohol:
Miller

I keep reading about Belgian beer on these boards, can any good varieties be acquired in the U.S. or do you have to go to Belgium?

Cask!

Domestic.... When Tetleys and Bishops Finger are domestic, why go abroad?

[Jeff]

Help me out here. I've never had a Belgian beer. I've heard most have higher alcohol content but taste a little more like wine.

[Dante]

A few friends and I went out this weekend to one of those bars that has 200 different beers and it was wonderful.

It's the only place I can have a pint of Newcastle, a Black & Tan, a McEwans and a Fullers ESB all in the same night.

My fiancee had some Belgian beer, it was $8 for the bottle, and it was raspberry flavored. She absolutely loved it, but good god was it awful (for me at least).

It tasted like a raspberry fizz drink and nothing like beer.

Pabst Blue Ribbon


Hey, watch it! PBR is good precisely because it's shitty.

Otherwise I like Bass and Shipyard Pale. Guiness isn't classified as Beer to me, that's food. Good though.

[gofire2001]

Best beer is Messina from Italy. Second is Sam Adams. Third is Goose Island

[Thomas A Fina]

GUINNESS!!!GUINNESS!!!GUINNESS!!!

Capt. Splarg - please understand, there are many more crappy American beers than British beers.

#2s - Newcastle, Sam Adams Winter, Chimay, Delerious Tremens, Boddingtons.

I prefer tap, mostly foreign - New Amsterdam, Sam Adams, Brooklyn are all quite good.
