We got onto Dutch beers in another topic, and I think it's best to open a separate beer thread.

I like Michelob, Heinneken (sp?), Grolsch, and Samuel Smith's Old Pale Ale. (The last is technically not a beer.)

I think Kirin is a Japanese version of Michelob. Tastes like it to me, anyway. And I like Budweiser, especially when its unique flavor becons.

I dislike Coors, which seems sort of ephemeral. Too lght is too light. Heinniken (sp?) is my light beer.

I don't swill beer, so can afford the brands I prefer. A six-pack will last me a week or more. Some guys drink that in a night. Their appearance often reflects that.

What's your favorite beer?

Any one i don't have to pay for myself

Heineken and Molson Canadian are a couple of my favorites.

Any brand that is cold.

Deschutes Black Butte Porter is my house beer, though the Pyramid Octoberfest was pretty darn good this year! Big Time Brewery makes an Oatmeal Stout that is an absolute meal in a mug, one you can't but down.

Here in Ohio, I like just about anything made by Great Lakes Brewery.

Well, I hope I won't be branded as a bad American but I am getting worried about the beer this country is producing. See I'm not a fan of lite beer. It is getting harder and harder to find a really good American beer.

Right now my favorite American beer is brewed right here in Texas. It's called Shiner Black and I think it is only available on tap. Shiner Boch in long necked bottles is good too.

The Mexicans on the other hand have it going on. Negro Modelo and Negro Leon are very good beers. I prefer the full rich flavor of REAL beer.

I am not a big beer guy, but when I do have one or two I like Yeungling which happens to also be America's Oldest brewery (PA). It's actually a German name, not Oriental as it sounds.

Have you tried Sam Adams? I agree about some better Mexican beers, including Negro Modelo. And about fuller flavored beers. I forgot to mention Tuborg, a Danish item. And the German Lowenbrau.

+1 on both Negra Modelo and Yeungling. Abita Amber out of Louisiana is good stuff. I also like Michelob Amber Bock.

#1 - Free
#2 - Whatever is on sale

Seriously, maybe my taster doesn't work, as most beers seem pretty much the same to me.

I'm not fussy. I can drink almost any beer, although some are higher on the like list. I usually only buy Straub for here at the house. It's a local PA beer made in St. Marys, PA

I don't often drink beer my friends, but, when I do I drink Corona. Stay testy, or is that tasty?

I don't drink much beer, but on a hot evening, an ice-cold bottle of "Hog Heaven" hits the spot. It's pricey ($6.00 per bottle), but it's about 10% alcohol, so it doesn't take too much before I start making a fool of myself, and that's what life is all about. Isn't it?

Shiner Black can be had in bottles, I have one bottle left...good stuff. My regular, go to beer is Shiner Bock though. I can get it here in CA but it is priced with the import beers. I usually stock up a few cases whenever I get back toward home or far enough east that it isn't "imported".

Negro Modelo is a good full flavored dark beer. Yuengling is good, but I can only have that when I get to the east coast.

If I have to drink "normal" American, I'll have a MGD. Miller High Life tastes like a skunk, Bud has little to no flavor (and , to me, a wierd aftertaste), Coors has no flavor at all.

In my drinking days, I drank Lone Star like other people drank water. If an establishment did not carry Lone Star, I switched to Heineken or Rolling Rock. All three have very different tastes. I think the packaging may have been what got me.
Shiner used to make very good beer. Shiner Bock was inexpensive and very tasty. It's not even a true bock anymore, and costs a lot more. Shiner Premium was a favorite. It was known as a cheap Texas beer, but had a lot of flavor. Now it's called Shiner Blonde and is anything but cheap.

Three Floyd's-Alpha King would be my favorite. Seriously good.

Sierra Nevada, and anything by Frederick, Maryland's own Flying Dog Brewery. I won't offend the mods by naming my two favorite of their products, because they might consider them offensive. But they taste, really, really good.

Warsteiner dunkel (dark)

Leinenkugal's Sunset Wheat and Creamy Dark is pretty good.

Moosehead Lager!!

Well...when I'm swillin' I like Busch, Schaefers lite and Natty (otherwise known as fishing beer)

When I'm drinking, I loves me an IPA or a good dark ale. Abita pretty covers the plate on those. I also love Guiness and Highland Brewery around Ashville makes an Oatmeal Porter that is really good. When I travel I always seek out the local stuff and am rarely disaponted. In short, Beer is like sex-some is better than others but it's all good.

I'll drink whatever is available as long as it's icy cold(except iron city). Yeungling is the house beer.

Sir, I've just never warmed up to the fancy-schmancy boutique beers. I'll drink them if that's all that's available, but I much prefer PBR.

Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.

Carlsberg Elephant Beer is at the top of my list, although it is not locally available in cans, and glass containers are not permitted on the National Forest shores where I like to camp, so it's often Heineken, in cans, an acceptable and cooler friendly alternative...

Coors Light is my main choice of brew.
My bro drinks Natural Light, I like that as well.
A friend of mine always buys these high dollar beers, stuff is nasty. If I drink just one of them, I either get an instant headache or feel like puking.

I like AJ Scrumpy's Cider. Good stuff, $7 a bottle.

I like trying the local ales otherwise a guinness hits the spot.

My favorite is Summit Extra Pale Ale, followed closely by Bell's Two Hearted Ale. Summit is from St. Paul, close to home, while Bell's is from, I think, Kalamazoo. I'll drink an Oberon, also from Bell's, or a Spotted Cow, from New Glarus, WI.

When it comes to mass-produced beers in cans I favor Old Milwaukee, just as Consumer Reports did.

No lite beers for me, and nothing from Coors, except maybe an occasional Blue Moon.

Cheap is PBR

We are blessed in West Michigan with some great microbrews: White Flame, Founders, and New Holland to name a few.

One of my favorite seasonal beers was just released a couple weeks ago: Bourbon County Stout from Goose Island in Chicago.

Really like the occasional bourbon barrel aged stouts and porters.

Mickey’s Big Mouth

I hardly ever drink but, on a hot July day...Any brand that is cold!

Boulevard 80 Acre
Boulevard Amber
Alaska Amber
New Glarus Spotted Cow
Sol
Busch Light
Plus many others, I'm a beer lover.

Goose Island farmhouse ale, aka saison or summer ale is excellent. Founders is good too.

Ive come to the point where if its not Belgian ales or at least IPA i won't buy it. Basically i wanna drink real beer and Bud, Miller, PBR, Corona, even Heineken aint it. Lager is way too watered down. Especially American lager

Henry Weinhard is one of my favorite beers - Kokanee is close second, but when I can - I order a Grolsch or a Heineken.
But to be honest, Jim Beam is my favorite drink for a relaxing evening surfing on the forum.

The beer is yeast turbid, because it is unfiltered.

I keep Dos Equis Amber (Oscura) in the house although I don't like the Dos Equis light. Shiner Bock is OK; I'll have to look for Shiner Black. Visiting New Zealand I picked up a taste for Speights, wonderful stuff, but I can't find it here, although no doubt it's imported somewhere in the US.

I was introduced to Tuborg when I did a tour of duty in Thule, Greenland. Tuborg is great stuff. The club had happy hour every Friday afternoon. 'Happy hour' meant the drinks were FREE for a whole hour (the overseas clubs then had one armed bandits, and were rolling in money). Do you have any idea how drunk you can get on one hour of free Tuborg?

However we lost a couple of guys after happy hour when they passed out in a snowbank at -50º. Their antifreeeze level wasn't high enough to withstand that before they were found.

Don't drink much beer anymore but I do like a good cold Corona with a little lime slice in it. Most American beer, not the local brews, seem to have lost a lot of their flavor. I used to like Bud but it seems to have lost flavor and it also gives me a headache after one bottle. Sure wish I could get some of the stuff they drink in Germany, they have some good stuff over there. The imports we get here are not the same as what you get there.

Mostly I'm an American Micro Brew drinker but lately Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout has been in the fridge.

Henry Weinhard's Private Reserve is my favorite but most anything will do.

Used to be brewed here in PA. Anheiser-Busch owns it now and brews it in NJ. Still all I drink.
