This one still reigns, in my book

Sam

Of course, I've only been drinking legally for a few years.

Thoughts?

You're off to a good start. :)


Try some of the heavy stuff too. Guinness is also tasty.

I like Sam and I like Guiness also.  Hell I dont think I have ever met a beer I didnt like.  Couple of weeks ago a bar here in Dallas had halfyards of Bass on special for $5.  It was great....the freshest smelling Bass ale I have ever had.  Usually you get it here and its old and lifeless and you cant smell the hops hardly at all.

Guinness is good stuff. Solidifies in your intestines but what the hell.

However, we're looking at American beers here.

If the topic was any beer, worldwide, I wouldn't even know where to begin.

I do like Red Stripe. Becks is decent.
Pretty much over Heineken.
Whatever it is, I'm sure it's german though.

I do like some canadian beers.

A couple years ago I was snowboarding out at Whistler. I was underage by US standards but was legal up there. Some of the strongest stuff I've ever seen.

Can't say I remember too much about taste though.

I bleed red white and blue but as a whole American beers sorta suck (notable micros notwithstanding). My favorite brew of em all is Chimay Grand Reserve.

Henry Weinhart's Pale Ale was a favorite of mine when I was in California, no more expensive than the "macro brews" but considerably better, IMHO.

Are we talking "American Beers" or "US Beers"? I'm really into Red Stripe (From Jamaica) these days.

[Edit] Oops, noticed you already mentioned Red Stripe... Good on ya!

I drank enough Weinhardt's to fill a pool during the years I lived in Cali. those were the days. Good stuff, considering the price.

Since I was an Undergrad at the time, I was definately considering the price lol. I was just happy when I wasn't drinking Mad Dog, or Natural Ice :p

The local hooch here in Virginia isn't Bad.

Hey! I just noticed you're right across the street. Maybe we should hit the Brickskeller sometime.

Saint Arnold's Brewery here in Houston makes some great brews.  My favourite is the Brown.  Damn fine beer.  Saint Arnold's Beer

Keep them comming! I need to print this list if I ever manage to be a beer-tour tourist one day (I'm sure that there's a website on that).

Chimay american? I don't think so. We do export a beer called "Bush beer " though.
