What beer do you drink?

[over and over]

I think I'm the smiley smile drunk, but there is probably people here that can drink me under the table.
What's your beer of choice?

[MBE]

Hoegaarden is my favorite, but I like any except for US Macro Brews and IPA's.

[hypehat]

Sir, I am the reigning Smiley Smile drunk. The only way to settle this would be the time-honoured pints at dawn. 

Find myself drinking a lot of Guinness nowadays - however, if I can find Meantime Wheat Beer or Duvel in any boozer, I am on it.

[over and over]

Everyone is going to hate me.............Bud is my drink of choice.

Meantime Wheat sounds good. I like Guinness a lot too lately, Duvel is real nice and smooth.

I don't hate you just the beer! 

[rab2591]

I like mostly anything.

I'd say that Guinness is my favorite. I really like the taste of Blue Moon. And there's almost nothing more refreshing than an ice-cold Budweiser after a long day of work! (runs away trying to catch up with over-and-over )

Where's Hoegaarden? I don't think I've seen that anywhere. I'm always trying to find new beers.

I need to try Guinness, never had it before.
There's just something about seeing that brown bottle with the red label that just puts a big SMiLE on my face

I know what you mean! I've never understood the hate for Budweiser, but to each his own.

And definitely pick up some Guinness extra stout next time you're at the store - it's incredibly popular for a reason!

I don't know if you live in the U.S., but my brother told me that the beer at a grocery store has less alcohol percentage then the ones at "Beer & Tobacco" stores. Does anyone know if this is true?

[hypehat]

Hoegaarden is lovely stuff, although not the best Wheat Beer imo. Blue Moon is great.... also, try Leffe if you haven't. Rich as hell.

Don't get the hate for Bud either, it's manna from heaven compared to Carling or Fosters or other 'standard' beer. It's a damn sight better than most American beers too (Coors should be illegal), although not as good as Sam Adams. Mmm....

Yeah, and Guinness! Best served in a pint, poured properly, rather than a can or a bottle but IDK how popular it is in the states. I don't know if they do it in America, but the Nigerian export Guinness is something else - 8% or something and incredible.... if rather effective  


Goddammit, it's midday and I have to work and this thread is making me want to get a pint..... might go for a liquid lunch

Can we also agree that Corona should be illegal?
I'm sorry guys, but that's the worst beer I've ever had.

Seriously, any beer you have to put a lime in to give it flavour is simply not good beer.

For real!?!? Corona and lime is great! Lovely with a mexican dinner.

@over and over - The beer they sell in grocery stores is mostly generic and is about 4-5% alcohol content. The beers they sell at beer and wine shops are more specialized and some have higher alcohol percentage.

[MBE]

I don't why but I always had trouble drinking Bud. I do like the label but the corn in it just ruins it for me.  Hoegaarden is Belgium and is kind of like Blue Moon if a bit cleaner. Corona is fine to me because it's less sticky or bitter than Bud or Miller. Worst beer I had is probably Schlitz or Busch. Red Dog or Old Milwaukee is really bad.

I'm looking forward to trying that!

[guitarfool2002]

I've sampled some great and not-so-great beers, but one that I enjoyed as a surprise first-tasting more than any other was Grimbergen. Duvel is great as a treat. I love Guinness draft when it's done the right way. Hacker-Pschorr, Hoegaarden, several other imports: Great stuff. For domestics, Yuengling Lager was the staple for many years, but when they opened another brewery in Florida, rather than just the original location in Pottsville, PA, the quality of their bottled beer got a bit inconsistent. I switched to Lager cans, and they were a lot more fresh and crisp - that is my go-to budget domestic. For microbrews, the Brooklyn company is great: Their IPA is terrific, one of my favorite higher-alcohol beers. Yards makes a good brew, as does Stoudt's in PA. Harpoon I always thought was a tad overrated, especially in the Boston area where everything from that area is overhyped, including the damn sports teams. But Sam Adams "Cherry Wheat", served at the Sam Adams brew pub when it used to be on Boylston St., was one of the best tasting drafts I have ever had. Delicious. I avoid it in bottles because too many cases I bought have been skunked. Weyerbacher in Easton PA makes this sample pack called "Big Beers", including one called "Blithering Idiot", that will absolutely get you wrecked but you'll enjoy the taste of the beer in the process.

There was one beer I loved which only came in a sample pack case - from a microbrewery - I would buy the case in the Boston area, and this one beer in it was just terrific. Then I bought some after leaving Boston, and it was skunked - and the only way to get this one variety was in the sample case. I wish I could remember more about it - maybe that says a lot about how much i enjoyed that particular brew: It was so good, I can't remember what it was.

[stack-o-tracks]

My number 1 is Lost Coast's Great White. It's really really good. I'm also quite partial to pretty much anything by Lagunitas. And if I'm just drinking swill, first choice PBR, second Miller High Life.

[guitarfool2002]

PBR??? I was waiting for that to show up in this thread... Swill is too kind a word to describe that drink.

[stack-o-tracks]

PBR is much better than the MGDs, Buds, & Coorses that seem to be as equally as popular. Quite an inoffensive taste. Heaters gonna heat.

I used to drink PBR and Rolling Rock constantly with my more hipster friends. PBR has quite the redneck/hipster following in my area. And inoffensive is a good way to put it. Not bad, not great, just right.

[guitarfool2002]

Why has Rolling Rock fallen off recently? When I was in school, that was the beer which was a step above the frat beers like Keystone, which were thin as piss and cheap.

MGD was tolerable in the 16oz cans for a cheap buzz that didn't sour the stomach.

The ultimate cheap buzz that tasted good was Haffenreffer Private Stock in the 64oz green bottle.

[Heysaboda]

I used to drink Gösser dark beer, but it's hard to find.

Failing that, Anchor Steam!  Mmmmmmmmm

[Craig Boyd]

Newcastle Brown Ale

Newcastle Brown Ale 

I've had that one before, and it's excellent!  The Brits are outstanding in this field!
