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:

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.

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.

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.
