Depends how far from home....

In Germany it's Miasles HefeWeissen..words alone cannot describe its flavor.

In Korea it's Crown Beer and Soju.

In the US sometimes a Miller Lite or Newcastle but mainly red wine and vodka.

Why is everyone drinking lite this and lite that? Because it's healthier, or because it gives a better buzz?

Bar? Whatever's on tap. Sierra Nevada, Anchor Steam, Chimay, Pilsner Urquell, Sam Adams. Even Bud and Coors are acceptable from a fresh keg.

Home? Local stuff. Sierra Nevada, Anchor Steam, Sudwerk, Gordon Biersch. I like lagers and pale ales.
I love the Spaten Premium mini-kegs.

If I want to get drunk I drink vodka.

What, no Pabst Blue Ribbon? No Samuel Jackson? No Hamms? Not even ONE Schlitz fan?

Ta think; a freakin 16oz cold brown bottle 'a Budweiser didn't even make the first CUT?

Lord.. it's like dodgeball.. they took dodgeball outta the schools. Jezus Cripes on roller skates, we're raising a nation of limp wristed gay beer & coffee press swillin puzzies, I tell yah!

never aquired a taste for canadian beer, even during the highschool peer pressure days. i can understand having the odd draft from tap with wings or a good sandwich, but drinking 5-8 beers just for the hell of it, never understood that.

don't drink much but when i do it's crown royal or smirnoff koolers.

Tequilla is the only thing to drink at the bar, it makes the ladies come running to ya, Well to be more accurate it just makes more of the woman acceptable in the bar so you increase your chances or meeting someone.

I don't drink to impress anyone. I drink Bud Light at home, at parties, at bars, and at restraunts. The only time I drink anything but Bud Light is when I go to a local German place called the Gerst Haus. There I drink one of their house brews, which one depends on my mood and what I'm eating. My Dad's father came over from Germany right around the turn of the century (I can trace relatives back enough to find I am distantly related to Richtoffen, too bad I got none of his skill and talent), so I like German food, and German beer.

To me, the "designer beers" and "micro brews" are nothing special.

If I'm not drinking real German beer or Bud Light, I drink Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, or moonshine.

Don't drink anymore.

Never liked Beer.

Drank Smirnoff Ice when I did have a Beer like drink.

Most of the time it was Cuervo straight or Margarittas.

'when drinking to get some' I stay sober, and I feed all the drinks to my date.

If you have a keg cooler at home, going to a bar is academic. When I went to the bar (back in the day) I drank Budweiser tallboys almost exclusively during dollar beer night.

A pretty good draft beer is Busch. Dunno why but Miller draft seemed to have a flatness to it. (Didn't stop anyone from drinking it though.) Budweiser, Michelob and Busch come in Johnston type kegs. That is, you have to have the Johnston style tap for those kegs. I think Killian's Red and Heineken come in Johnston kegs also, but haven't had those in kegs due to expense.

Not sure but think the other style tap is called a Lansky tap (with the two tubes that extend down). Been a while since I dealt with beer taps. Might have 'em mixed up.

A keg holds 15.5 gallons, which can be drinkable up to about three weeks under CO2 pressure. Can't remember exactly how many kegs we put through the cooler during a three or four year time period. Think it was around 76 kegs.

I used to drink a lot of draft beer. It ain't popular in bars because it's not really all that sanitary and can make you sick. Not the beer but the beer tap, hose and spigot can get dirty. I've just about got to the point where the only thing I'll drink in a bar these days is a Coke. Don't like to drink in public anymore. I enjoy a good sippin whisky at home sometimes. Red wine is good. Been cultivating a taste for Pabst Blue Ribbon beer (bottles) as a standby. Figured if I was gonna drink something as bad tasting as beer, might as well go with a classic.
