Beer drinkers?

[Grimlock]

I'm having a pint of Guiness at the moment. Just picked up some Blue Moon yesterday, had 2 and decided I didn't like it. So, what is everyone else drinking? What's you favorite?

Did you slice up an orange and put it in the Blue Moon bottle? That's the only way to drink em.

I like all kinds of beers except really cheap stuff like Milwaukee's Beast.

I'd sooner drink beer than coffee, but I pretty much hate 'em both. My local friends love Abita Amber. All I can say is that Abita has the only beers that I don't think smell like sewage.

Same here. Although, I'm not big on citrus tasting beer, IPA or light beer. I much prefer darker beers like stouts, porters, black & tans, etc. My favorite "cheap" beer though is undoubtedly Yuengling, which never lets me down. Sam Adams is good too.

I'm also a sucker for the holiday brews - Pumpkin ale, Winter ales, Sam Adams Cranberry Lambic, etc. I don't like Summer ales though. Too citrus tasting for me.

I'm not much of a beer drinker. When I was about 10, at some family party I accidentally drank a small bit of beer. At the time I felt "Ewww! It tastes like oil!" Then I was embarassed that it was beer. But due to my negative reception, I easily held off until legal age. I then tried a sip of beer, but still didn't like the taste. The only time I ever drank a full glass of beer was during a trip to New Orleans, and it was on Bourbon Street. It was lite since I didn't want to get real drunk, but even then I needed a little assistance from my brother to finish it.

I do like red wine somewhat, though I like to drink to moderation.

Ack. I'm not a friend of the pumpkin beer.

Yeah, Master Chief would say otherwise.

I think beer tastes disgusting, but hey...whatever.

I like the Great Lakes beers in the Cleveland area. At the moment, Christmas Ale is great, especially with cinammon and sugar around the edge of the glass. Other than that, I like to drink Sam Adams or Yuengling, or go to brew houses for craft beers. I can definitely understand people who don't like beer. It's an acquired taste.

[TheCanadiandrome]

I don't always drink but when I do I prefer Dos Equis! Lol!

Actually I usually go with Molson Canadian or Molson Export or Pilsner. Occasionally Corona as well, no lime

German beer is far better than any other beer in the world. Fact.

[Peanut]

I really like some German beer, but others I've had taste like absolute sh*t. Like...worse than American beer. I work with high-class Germans, so I've had a ton of it.

[Barkworm]

Yeah, American beer sucks, Australian and most Asian beer is also terrible. There are some decent French and British ales. Belgian beer is also interesting, mainly because it's so gimmicky.

[mysterycolor]

i am more of a fan of whiskey and vodka... so, i rarely drink beer... but when i do, it is dos equis (cause i am the most interesting woman in the world, duh!) but realistically i typically drink yuengling- just my non-expensive yummy favorite

[jeff the cheff]

I actually work in a brewery now and am going to school in a year to become a master brewer. So yes, I love beer.

@Barkworm: I'd like to know what your experience with American beer is, because there are plenty of small breweries here that certainly do not suck. I would assume that American beer in Germany has a similar problem to German beer in the U.S, which is poor storage and freshness issues. But when I do find good German beer I love Weihenstephaner Hefeweizen and Vitus, and just about anything from Ayinger.

Not really a beer guy but I do like Malt Liquor.

Same here...I dont drink alcohol ...and the first time a try taste in my tongue a sip of beer (you know....I was curious to know something so popular how taste was...) .... it seem to me tooo much Bitter to be pleasant to taste....

...Anyway........ you can always invite me to a sweet orange juice, a smoothie or a soft-drink/fresh drink!

[Candy Kappa]

Pfff, screw beer, I go for Mjod, like a good Norseman should.

[That Matt Guy]

I like Mexican beers myself, but I'd rather have liquor over beer anytime.

The problem is probably that a lot of the smaller breweries also don't get a lot of distribution, or so little that it may as well be none. Just like most products, the thing you're always going to be able to find is the big name stuff and where American beer is concerned you may as well drink piss water. Also, in Canada the entire industry is under government control, so it's not like I can run to some place that specializes in small-run local brew. I've gotta go to the LCBO or The Beer Store and buy whatever it is they may be carrying.

Of course, this is where family members that constantly go to and from the US are extremely helpful. That and getting me my guilty pleasure (Malibu Mango) for $10 instead of f*cking $36.
