In Mexico, Corona is one step below piss.

and about 10 steps above Natural Lite anywhere. (and i dislike Corona)

If it's directly from DR, Presidente's are my shit. Awesome freakin beer.

Here in the motherland I think my top beers would be in this order:

MGD
Guinness
Stella Artois
Corona (SAY NO TO LIME)
YeungLing
Bass
Harp
Coors Lite

I somehow always end up with Coors Lites just cause they are so cheap and get the job done.

 

[Mercurial]

Belle-Vue Kriek Lambic Ale

 

[ejdonk]

So much Guinness love here, but there are way better beers in Ireland, like:

Murphy's Stout

or

Smithwicks

When it comes to beer from outside Europe, I dont like it very much, most American beers for example are only little above of piss, but desperados and miller are still decent

But the best beer is still (and of course the classic green becks):

 

[IntestineBoy]

This is my favorite beer...no beer has topped it for me... It is one of the only things I reeeeeeaaaaalllly miss from Seattle... I think you can get it on the West Coast but it is brewed in Redmond Washington...

The African Amber is heaven in a class...or better yet a pitcher..

Last night I went to Trivia Night at one of the bars on the Ave, for $2 Mac and Jacks. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

To the beer snob comments:

I don't only drink the good shit. I merely recognize and appreciate the good shit. Why limit yourself, or worse yet, lie to yourself that they all taste the same. That's like saying that all burgers are created equal. Something I get at a bar & grill will be much better than the greasy stuff down at some fast food place, but I'll still eat the fast food stuff. How's this any different?

Anyway, I love Rickard's Red and Big Rock Trad. I drink plenty of others though ... my cheap beer nod tends to go to Lucky.

I second this notion as well, and again, I have my preferences, but the "guys" who REFUSE to drink budweiser or just plain regular beer just get laughed at by regular dudes. and girls. Period. I went to prep schools and did the ivy league thing where there was a healthy population of these types, and I've seen it happen more than once at parties where the beer snob/too tight clothes/never show up with girls dudes come through with a six or twelve of whatever micro/euro brew is in style, and there is NOTHING wrong with that, but they act funny about putting it in the coolers or freezer or refrigerator with the other beer as if it will get infected, and naturally, they really dont want anyone just grabbing their beer, and that's generally how they play themselves. Fellas, its freakin beer. Its cold, itll get you buzzed, what's the big deal.

Its like the "I can only fuck the perfect girl guy". You know- the dudes who refuse to talk to women really because they are just not good at it and it scares them to death to put themselves out there, but use the old excuse she's not good enough, or I dont like her hair, or she's too short, LIKE WHEN YOU'RE PUSHIN UP INSIDE YOU REALLY GIVE A SHIT.
Just like beer, I prefer certain types of women, and I DATE those kind of women, but when the rubber meets the road, I'll hit a whole lot of different stuff, just like I'll drink damn near any beer in my face. Damn near. The ugly girl with still get me off, and the cheapest beer will still get me sideways. and the point is gettin off and gettin your buzz on.

Enjoying a quality beer with good food to appreciate its taste, flavor, body and how it tastes with the food is one thing, which I do often, but to me, the whole point of drinking beer has less to do with the beer itself........ its about your boys, good times and of course the ladies. The beer is never the star.

I personally don't like Mac and Jacks, but everyone else in Washington State seems to. Something about that taste doesn't sit right with me.

Oh, no bottles, you can only buy it in kegs or on tap.

If you're sitting down with a plate of ribs at a restaurant, why not get something that tastes interesting with it? If you get a good enough beer in this situation, the beer can actually be the star, and it tastes fuckin good.

How many times are you going to suggest that not drinking shitty beer makes you gay?

Seems like you are pretty concerned with this.

Apparently, anyone who drinks beer that the average frat boy can't afford or doesn't drink beer for the sole purpose of getting shitfaced and having casual sex with sluts is gay.

Let's try to keep this conversation about *beer*...mmmkay?

 

[Prospero]

I live near one of the branches of the Triumph Brewing Company, and their beers have ruined me for most others.

Grimbergen Double is among the best bottled beers I've had, but it's damn near impossible to find in my area.

If inexpensive beers are the only ones on hand at a party, I prefer Rolling Rock to Bud, Coors, etc.

 

[Jill Sandwich]

Murphy's is ace, but hard to find in my town. I'll also drink anything if it's cheap enough, Fosters or Budwieser is the piss of choice in most of the clubs here. I'd much prefer a peach vodka over ice though, because I am a fag.

 

[Teddman]

I don't really have a favorite beer, I usually buy the best brand on sale and am generally a variety seeker. Living in SoCal, I find myself drinking a lot of Mexican beer. It goes good after a margarita & a shot of tequila.

My favorites:
-Pacifico
-Modelo Especial and Negra Modelo
-Bohemia

Corona's not bad either, there are a lot worse brands out there. I wouldn't say it's considered piss in Mexico, more like we'd consider Budweiser. You want to try a truly piss-worthy South American beer, grab some Arriba. Blech.

I've also been digging the Gordon Biersch brands lately, Marzen and Blonde Bock. Blonde Bock is smooth and packs 7% alcohol content! That's Malt Liquor territory.

I also love the Red Stripe, and pseudo micro-brew stuff like Fat Tire and Red Trolley ale.

Never actually thought straight Gay, to tell you the truth. My ex was Bi. We hung out at gay clubs quite a bit and I met a lot of cool Gay men. And from what I saw, Gay men aren't as picky as you-- they didn't refuse Budweiser or go through the whole played-out "piss-water" American beer sucks routine. Played out kinda like "mmmmkay" They drank it like pretty much everyone else. So, calling you gay really would have no bearing on the issue unless to make your beer snobbery even less common.

And, like I said in the post, I enjoy beer when not trying to get shitfaced or having casual sex, but let's not act like people don't like gettin faded and talkin to women. And although I am out of college and have a decent job and all of that, sometimes that perfect storm hits where the 6 month car insurance premium is due, the mortgage/rent is due, and the car payment and a bunch of other semi-random shit manages to be due at the same damn time. And unless I break into the savings for beer (which i won't do), its time to roll with the cheap stuff.

When you pick your poison of the cheap stuff, what do you roll with Rusty? Or do you just ALWAYS have the uber-brew?? To me, the best cheap stuff is MGD. The Best REALLY cheap stuff is PBR. I agree, let's bring it back to the sweet brew.

 

[op_ivy]

To me, Beer is like my childrens. I love them all, but some of them are just stupid and not worth talking to or pretending to be related to. That said, there is one that shines above all others, one beer forged in pits of darkness, one beer to rule them all:

Edit: curses! I will get you op_ivy, and your little dog too!

i had actuallylisted iton thefirst page,but didnt see anyone else mention it. i'm glad to see others with good taste (or maybe good taste, butin theso cal area ).

 

[scissorfight]

I never said American beer sucks. There is a ton of great US beer, some popular (Sam Adams is a personal favorite) and a lot of obscure stuff.
I said Budwesier sucks. I think it's absolutely horrible...but like I said, I have and will drink it for free at parties when I'm in "let's get fucked up" mode. It's just my opinion, and I don't think not liking a certain kind of beer makes me a snob.

Well I'm probably not the norm (my good friend is a beer distributor and keeps me stocked with great beers from around the world) but I usually try to have some British beer because that's my favorite. In the summer, though, I always have Corona around too (without lime unless it's with mexican food - which we do quite often in the summer). Corona is not an expensive beer and a lot of people think it's shit...but I like it and that's what matters. Price has nothing to do with what I drink. There's a lot of cheap beer that tastes great...and then there's REALLY cheap beer....I haven't bought a case of Natty Ice in a while, but for the price you couldn't beat it. :lol

[Brofist]

That's a 10% alcohol beer, and it goes down smooth. Expensive stuff though.

I usually drink

Corona
Newcastle
Guiness
Asahi Super Dry
Yebisu

Bohemia and Tecate are good too, but harder to find.

I don't drink piss beer, It's not because I'm an elitist, it's because I don't ever need to drink beer so badly that I'll drink something that tastes like watered down piss. Of course if I'm offered a Coors Light or some crap like that I'll take it and drink it, no need to be a pompous ass when someone is offering/buying.

 

[nitewulf]

rolling rock
yuengling (thanx federman)
killian's irish red

bass ale
jamaican pale ale

#9, Blind Faith, Heart of Darkness, Fat Angel, Humble Patience...

It's very likely that a good portion of why I like them is because whomever names their beers is apparently a music/book geek.

 

[Mumbles]

Needs more love in this thread.

I love #9 and Heart of Darkness, myself.

Dogfish head is a new favorite for me. But really, I usually try to get something new about half of the time I go buy a beer, and then stick to 1-2 beers (#9, Guinness), for the rest, so I don't have much in the way of favorites. If I'm eating out, and the place I'm at doesn't brew their own, I'll generally go with a Sam Adams.

 

[Boogie]

If it's directly from DR, Presidente's are my shit. Awesome freakin beer.

Heh, on my trip last year everyone in our group was raving about Presidentes. Too bad I'm not a beer person.

 

[ToxicAdam]

I love when beer snobs goto parties and bring in their cute little 6 pack of some import beer. Then they goto the host of the party and ask "May I put my Flying Dutchman 32 Imported Dark Ale in the refrigerator?". Just WAITING for someone to ask them about the beer, so you can bore everybody with your fucking beer knowledge.



It's funny ... it's never the guy who gets laid at the party either. Its always some pasty, glasses wearing, bookworm that has to stand out.


Get a red fucking plastic cup, and get in line.

 

[Cafeman]

cant be bothered to read all this .. my usual is Labatt's blue.. but if you want to try something special .. Rogue's Dead Guy Ale!

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

That's a 10% alcohol beer, and it goes down smooth. Expensive stuff though.

Some of my guildies are always going ON and ON about this stuff, (often while on this stuff). I'm looking into nabbing at least a sixer of it somewhere, but package stores nearby don't carry it. :?

 

[Diablos]

Yuengling and Newcastle are my favs. Not like that has much merit because I rarely drink, but I'm just sayin'.

Actually, I'd have more of a problem with him being a "sixer" showing up to a party with only six beers. Who the hell does that? So what if you're only planning on drinking 6 beers, bring enough to share a little at least.

 

[Mac the KNife]

Corona Light w/ lime
Blue Light
and you can never go wrong with the Hiene

if you're a cheap ass college student like me it's gotta be the 30 pk of Buche light :lol

 

[Escape Goat]

Theres this honeybrown beer at local brewery that is pretty tasty.
