I like wine but I dont go for it like Beer. I like a dry Red, a Merlot, a Cabernet, a zinfandel. Dont know a whole lot about wine, only what I like.
Beer I do know a lot about. Ive tried a zillion including many micros. Funny but my favorite goes for $8.99 a 12 pack and tastes delicious. I think to many Beer and wine drinkers listen to snooty reviews instead of their taste buds.
But to each their own. (http://i478.photobucket.com/albums/rr149/Rich46yo/schlitz_beer_zpsb690c4e7.jpg)

yuck beer is gross :bolt: when I turned 16 I thought it would be cool to get drunk, so I stole some of my moms Schaefer beer, took a sip and puked. Now it doesnt matter what beer it is it all tastes the same. :lol
-
I don't like wine and the only way I really drink beer is in a "shandy"...mixed with sprite....and after a round of golf.

I'm downright a beer lover. I do enjoy the occasional glass of wine though.
PS: Mead is also a good drink too.

I like both, it all tastes good too me but I prefer beer. Yngling, budlight, miller, fortune, dos Equis, corona, and so forth.

I just saw at the store Jack with honey added to it. I dont drink fire water anymore, used to love sour mash, but I'd bet this new Jack with honey is quite good. I always liked honey Beer.
Back to Schlitz. My old man drank it and used to give me sips as a little kid so it was the 1st beer I ever drank even if it was just a sip. Well in the early '70s they got greedy and changed the formula while fermenting it a shorter time. All in the name of greed, producing more and making more money. Well Schlitz went from owning Chicago to losing all its customers and becoming a lousy brew. Old Style did the same thing.
In the last year or two they "Pabst bought the brand" came back to their senses and brought back the old method that made them famous and damn if the stuff aint delicious again. Just like I remember. I prefer it to Beers that cost twice as much. It reminds me of the '60s a time when fathers used to bring their sons to neighborhood taverns to watch a ball game on a Saturday. They drank their Schlitz while we drank orange pop and played pin ball. They were great days, much simpler and far less laws and rules strangling the working guy.
-
I drink Leffe or Franziskaner when I can get it, Erdinger is also a good beer, prefer the unfiltered stuff.
Only enjoy red wine really, white is a headache waiting to happen :cheers:
Nevertheless I would opt for beer ebbry thime :banana:
-
Beer and wine both have their places and times. A good pint of Stella Artois can be really good in the right moment and a nice bottle of Chateuneuf Du Pape may hit it perfectly with a steak dinner. Then a shot of 30 year old single malt in the evening while having your nice fat Cuban cigar with friends. And no, I don't smoke but do enjoy a good cigar once or twice a year :old:
-
Your not allowed Cuban cigars!

Heh, no. YOU are not allowed them, they're perfectly legal for me :devil

If unopened it will still be good...
if the seal has been broken and air has got in ... who knows...

Red wine is better because it's good for you (at a glass or less per day). :aok

Only some of it!
Not my hometown brew:

Correct, once bottled it stops....
-
Beer? Wine? There's been both available here plus something more. Trying all of that makes me dizzy... :cheers:
-
Never been a fan of wine, to me it taste like spoiled fruit. I guess Schlitz is technically a beer, but I think it's one of those that says "Malt Beverage" on the label :lol
A couple of my fav's are New Belgium's 2 Below ale and this one.

Craft beer all day. Wherever I go there's something new I've never tried before. If they don't have any draft microbrews, I go with Sam Adams, and if they don't have anything other than the Light beers, I go with Lite. But I hate it when that happens.

Despite all the jokes about 'murican beers being like sex in a canoe, there are few things better, after a hard day's graft, than an icy cold Miller Draught, mind you they are both brewed under licence about 10 miles from my house :banana:

Honey brown beer is decent and inexpensive

Try fresh wine. It's alcoholic but tastes as an extremely fresh fizzy drink. Yes, it even has bubbles in it naturally.
You'd think fermented grapes would taste horrible but they are better than 7-up.

Coors, Dos Equis Amber, Guiness

I always liked Millers draft, the only Millers I would drink.
Theres a lot of snootiness amongst the "so called" beer elite now. I quit hanging out in beer forums due to all the condescension and waxing poetic. Most posters just repeat what everyone else says anyways.
Ive always veered toward lagers and Pilsners tho I will go Ale on occasion and like a lot of micros. Drink what you like. And if it sells for $8.99 a 12 pack so much the better.
-
I really like micro brews..... With one exception
There are few things in life better than a grilled hotdog and an ice cold Rolling Rock pulled out from the bottom of the cooler of ice
Actually had a great Lager a few weeks ago when I was in NY. Brooklyn lager. Very. Tasty
Winter time is Guinness. I can drink it nonstop.

To be frank theres very few Beers I dont like.
I go in stages. I probably have 10 different ones in my fridge right now. Great Lakes Brewery makes a Dark beer Im very fond of. Lagunitas makes several I like but their Pilsner may be my very fave pils. They are opening a new brewery/tavern in town this summer so their offerings will be much easier to find.
There are just so many. There has never been a better time to dunk one or two on occasion and experiment.
-
IPA's are very popular here in the Seattle area. I don't like those, though -- too bitter for my taste. I like hefeweisens, porters, etc. that are sweeter.
-

Im the same way, not many beers i can say i do not like..... The only one i can honestly say i do not like is Budweiser....
-
As to beer, I consider myself a connoisseur, with the emphasis on the seur part....
-
I like beer
and beer likes me
Amen

HAHA! They're all made out of corn. I always wondered what that crap was made out of. Now I know why they can't be sold under the label of "beer" in some countries.

Great. Something else that'll do me in :bhead
Better get some tofu and spring water inside me rapidly :old:

Not just corn.... Barley, hops, wheat and other grains.
That website did crack me up where they stated that there may be grain in the beer..... Worse, some beers may cause vegans to violate their diet. God forbid! Suicide watch!
These paranoid folks are frightened by caramel coloring, GMO corn, propylene glycol (could be a health issue, but probably not), corn syrup and God knows what else. They are into organics. What they don't realize is that organic foods reflect what is in the soil and water... Not using pesticides and fertilizers does not mean that the veggies and fruit don't contain chemicals or other non-organic substances.
-
That's true, some good beer makers use fish bladders as a fining ingredient to map the beer not cloudy.

Can't trust them. They have Newcastle on their list, which is one of my favorites.
