OK, most of ya like beer, but check this out.

Not a fan of much anything with added flavor, be it beer, hard liquor, coffee or tea. I drink mostly Shiner Premium and Shiner Bohemian Black Lager. The black lager is better at room temp than it is cold.

Of course, free beer is free beer.

While we are on the subject of food stuff? I heard yesterday they had been talking and has been out for some time-beer with a lime taste. Now I think its Bud Light, is about to release a beer with a taste of orange??? Sounds kinda gross to me but, then I aint a beer drinker.

Beer is beer, and soda pop is soda pop, and never the twain shall meet so far as I am concerned. Of course I feel the same about "Light" beer!!!!!

This may appear as a novelty to Americans, but in countries where they actually know about beer, like Germany and Belgium, they've been mixing beer and soda or lemonade since the 19th century

Mostly so that they can start drinking in the morning and still be upright by evening, I suspect. And they feed that to children. In Germany, it's known as "Radler" (cyclist) or around Hamburg as "Alster", in reference to the fact that the mix supposedly resembles the piss color of that river's water

Most beer labels actually bottle the mix like their real beer. It's quite refreshing, no substitute for real beer, but much better than real soda.

Girly beers for girly guys. I drink porters and stouts. If you can see thru it in a glass, its a girly beer for girly guys. helps to separate the boys from the girls in the bar without even asking, way to many girly guys around these days. Proof of that in the beers advertised for sale with the "flavors" added.

It's good to know they are going to put something in Bud Light to give it a taste. Although, barley and hops would be my preferred flavor.

My favorite is Widmer Hefeweizen with a slice of lemon. The oldest pub in the US (Grant's in Yakima) had a Hefeweizen with mandarin in it. Quite good with salmon spread make with smoked locally caught Chinook salmon and fresh Dungeness crab.

Story is Grant's was a speakeasy and (legally) opened one hour before Prohibition was repealed.

Actually, Bert Grant opened his place in the early 1980's. It was supposedly the first "brew" pub (beer brewed on premises) to be opened in the US since the end of prohibition. Spent many an evening there "sampling". Good shootin',

I've taken up the hobby of home brewing.
As such, I've researched many bears from many lands.
Theres nothing wrong with some citrus notes in beer. Its a fairly common practice to use orange peel in the last minutes of the boil in Belgian ales.
This is usually accompanied by coriander in some of these types as well.
Blue Moon has a good apricot wheat ale, Sam Adams cherry wheat is another worth a test drive. New Glarius Belgian Red is another cherry wheat ale thats highly revered.
I am of the opinion that overt fruit additions should be kept to the wheat types. Others kept to notes as styles require.
Youve probably encountered the orange peel and coriander treatment far more than you might know.

I've been researching bears too. Sometimes while drinking beer.

Not a beer fan.
Whiskey is my hobby. I mix it with an empty glass.

Some people will go to any length to turn a topic into a bear thread

I don't like the taste of beer. Anyway shape are form. But, some
Southern Comfort on ice is another matter. But living alone makes it easy to get used to having a bit to much. So I don't keep it in the house. In the back of my mind I think of the times my uniform and shoes were soiled by a drunk.

I used to drink draft beer flavoured with rye when I was trying to decide what type of alcoholic I was going to be when I grew up

 

[Muss Muggins]

My preferences are, Yuenglings, Peroni, and Stella Artois. If none of those are available I will go for Heineken . Anything made by Miller or AB is garbage as far as I am concerned. I don't drink much anyway maybe three or four a year when out to eat.

AB and Miller are now made by InBev, which makes Stella. InBev just sold Peroni last year . . .

Beer is for sissies. I drink warm gin neat from a dirty glass with a hair in it. How many man points for that? & Shooting hot rodded magnums make you more of a man too.

GOOD STUFF.

From the beer police, or the 11th commandment? Beer was made from what they had. In colonial times, the original Sam Adams had an abundance of pumpkins & pumpkin beer was pretty standard. A little known "fact" was that the skipper/professor & Gilligan made a tasty coconut beer.

 

[robvious]

how many peasant man points do I get...?

I enjoy all forms of beer except the overly hoppy IPA trend...
but I was curious how many points is one of my favorites worth...?
Annual limited run of Russian Imperial Stout... every year with subtle flavor profile variations... hard to get but worth the effort... unless you like yellow beer... my fall backs are Guinness, Shiner Bock, and Buffalo Sweat Oatmeal stout... don't be afraid of the Dark...

 

[soFlaNative]

Had some Bud Lite Lime once. Liked it fine.
Haven't had it since but wonder if it was actually half decent
or the fact there was nothing else available in the middle of the Big Cypress on an airboat?

If you have not tried Shiner's Bohemian Black Lager I recommend it. Better than their Bock IMO. So dark you can hardly see light through it and not heavy at all.
