Enough about Soda, what's your BEER!

All beer's good beer.

Some beer is better than others,

Free beer's the best beer,

but Aussie beer's the greatest.

1) kokonee

2) moosehead

3) molson golden

4) labatt

5) warsteiner

6) budweiser

worst:

1) the beast

2) natty light

3) any miller product

Different brews for different occasions.

Guiness - Best w/ a meal or as meal. Even good out of the can or bottle w/ the widget.

Sam Adams - Best compliment to a light snack or buffalo wings. Not only a brewer, but a patriot also.

Bud - Best after a run or cutting the lawn. Also good in the stands at the race track (Go Dale Jr. #8). Cans are a necessity for fitting snugly into a coozie.

yeungling (easily the best american beer out there)

labatt blue (brewed across town)

alexander kieth's india pale ale

newcastle

caffery's

brick beer

upper canada wheat

beast is great for many things: getting drunk, paint thinner, rat poison, colon cleanser. probably the most useful beer around.

Nuthin' like sitting on the bank on the Mekhong River in Vientiane at sunset after a good workout, having a delicious BEER-LAO!!!

Vitamin G! Guinness!

Well I've seen a few of my favorites from years past in the previous msgs including Sam Smith's Nut Brown and Oatmeal Stout, and also Newcastle Brown! I don't drink a lot of beer nowadays as it tends to dehydrate me, but my favs included:

Past:

Whitbread Ale

Watney's Red Barrel and Stingo Stout

Now:

Saranac Pale Ale

Saranac "specials" that you can only get around holiday time:

India Pale Ale, Maple Porter (I wish they'd bring that one back), Belgian White.

Generally, I can't stand most of the popular US beers (Bud, Miller, Coors, etc.). May as well be drinking mouse piss.

Guiness is always special; best out of a tap of course.

Sierra Pale is the bestlarge production beer.

Stone brewery in San Diego brews a limited production beer called Double Bastard ( a stonger version of its arrogant bastard barley wine).

Homebrew is the best!!

Aass - I forgot about this one.Great beer with a great name (although they pronounce it differently).Pretty sure its Norwegian.

Aass (Norway) makes the best pilsner.

Orval

Jacobite

Bert Grants Pale ALe

Weihenstephaner

Pyramid's Heifeweizen

Malt Liquor:

Olde English- doubles as a furniture polish!

Chugging beer:

Coors Light

Cheap beers, but won a taste test I did

Schaefers Light

Iron city Light- Did any of you actually ever try this beer? It tastes a lot better than Budlight or any other popular light beers

I've had many nasty beers in my day, including Black Label, Maxx,Olde English, etc, but the worst ever had to be Oly Gold. I think they quit making that shit.My buddy used to compare everything to the price of a case of Lucky. You used to be able to get a case for $7.00.( Need a new pair of Levis? That's $21.00. "But that's three cases of Lucky!")

Other buddy would walk in with a case of that and always say,"Wanna get Lucky?"

I still prefer a good old Bud Light in a bottle, but did enjoy Melbourne Bitter and Victoria Bitter the last time I was in Australia.

I knew I'd have a purpose on this board eventually. :-P

Sol (Mexico)

Guinness or Murphy's (Irish stouts)
