Imported Mexican beer is popular here, I do like the Dos Equis (XX) amber lager, but I hate Corona.  Taste; it is a matter of taste.

I don't like Bud much either, I tend to drink an MGD when I am in the mood for beer.

"I would rather drink hot milwaukees best."

Heh, after P.O.C. was no longer available (went out of business in the 80's), my old man drank Milwaukee's Best, largely because it was the cheapest stuff out there.  He drank better than a case a day; the local Stop-N-Go stocked the stuff just for him.  Without him as a customer anymore, I half expect Milwaukee's Best to go out of business anytime.

P.O.C. beer and Pall Mall cigarettes are two of my earliest memories.

I'm a Hefe Weizen & Pilsner fan, i cant understand someone saying Guiness is the
best beer, its a complete different brew, complete different taste,
i like it, but its nothing i would drink daily ;) *cheers*

Check this review:

Westvleteren Abt 12 - Infinite gratitude to Jeffin7 for this 3 year old sample. That kid didn’t miss school the day that they taught sharing. Murky, brown pour with a medium sized, tan head. The aroma is very rich with lots of ripe fruit, apple pie, plums, pears, candi sugar. The flavor is well blended and superbly complex, toffee, pears, golden raisins, candi sugar, very rich. The mouthfeel is very soft, smooth and lucious. Believe the hype.

thanks beerqueers, now beer is as ghay as wine.
whaever happened to "lets go pound some brews"?

[Shuckins]

Never touch the stuff.  Couldn't see the sense in downing something in large quantities just to acquire a taste for it.

Those guys are still around, they're cool, when I see them at the drive through window or working on the elevator or something I allways throw them props that are TV or sports oriented, they like that.

We need those guys, they're the heart and soul man, country couldn't run without them.

hefe ? you mean yeast ?

[Suave]

I think he means hefeweissen, "cloudy white" beer. Essentially wheat beer without fining ingredients, the ingredient that is added to beer to make it clear.

Hefe Weizen... it ain't dark, but it's still good.

Being a connoisseur of any beer that cost less than $9.99 a 24 pack… (If you can find a 30 pack for that price you get bonus points…) I never found Guinness to be … Well... Even remotely enjoyable.

Then it was explained that this type of beer requires an acquired taste. I would guess it’s something like being a masochist. That is, you most likely wouldn’t want someone to beat the crap out of you with a whip on the very first night… you would probably just start with a little paddling.

I suppose in beer and in love, if you want to stand out from the crowd, you need to work up a tolerance for the truly unpleasant.

IMHO Guiness is a great diversion from your ordinary brew.  In order to truly enjoy it you must not think of it as a "beer" because it isn't, it's far from it.  Think of it as a different type of beverage, nothing like a regular beer.  If you've broken in your beer palate on Bud, Miller and Coors then, yes, it's going to take a little getting used to.  I don't think it's the be-all-end-all of brews but it is a nice break from your normal brewed beverage.

I love Budweiser. Definitely one of the best light lagers. Funny, Labatts makes Bud in Canada and it tastes just like all the other crap up there. It's also the best selling beer in Canada now.

[lasersailor184]

Ironically (or maybe not so) labatts is crap itself.


But Molson and Molson Golden are some of my favorite beers.

Well - who would have thought it: A thread from Dago about an alcoholic beverage! Dago, I guess you must be human after all! ;)

Guiness rules, but not every pint of Guiness is the same.  Only the really good old school Irish bars here have good Guiness, everywhere else it's flat and bland (still better than light-colored pisswater, though).  

I'm glad someone brought this up, and I used to believe this myself, until I had a conversation with the landlord of my local pub about this. He swore blind that it was all the same stuff, and that the Guinness being better in Ireland was a myth, or - to use his own words - a load of bollocks.  Stang, you're not wrong, but there's a reason for why the Guinness is better in those Irish bars. One word: Throughput. If you go to an English pub, most men will be drinking pints of bitter. On an average weekday night with about 30 people in my local's public bar, you might see one or maybe two people drinking Guinness, or none at all. So when you order a pint, the first half pint is what has been sitting in the pipe, downstream of the cooler getting warm, and warm Guinness certainly is crap - in fact it won't even pour properly if warm.

Now compare that with a pub in Temple Bar, Dublin. Around 75% of the men will be drinking Guinness. It takes a couple of minutes to pull a pint of Guinness - the pour, the settle, the top-up - and if you go up to the bar to order Guinness, the staff will already have a couple half poured ready to meet the demand as people arrive. He'll finish pouring those he's started pouring, and bring it over to the table for you. Most of the people around you will be drinking Guinness so you know that yours is a fresh pint. In fact they sell so much that some pubs have a side-by-side double tap which pours two at a time - a bit like an espresso machine!
