[Oliver Brown]

Any really, whichever decent brand is on offer.

[jmtjet]

I haven't drank beer(or anything else) in 10 years, but when I did drink, it was Coors Lite. I even toured the brewery in Golden Colorado. After I quit I heard they layed off the third shift. ;)

When I started drinking the legal age in New York State was 18. It was raised to 21 many years ago. I think if a young man or women is old enough to join the army-they're old enough to drink legally.

[DuaneB]

I haven't done any drinking in about 7 years, but when I was, it was Grain Belt beer (a regional brand brewed in Minnesota).

[jenae]

Hi, California makes some good wine. I have not tasted a US beer that I would consider again (except of course the legendary "DUFF" ) Here where Beer is very popular I drink Cascade Premium and Hann Premium. Very often too much....sigh:p :p

[bistro]

Sam Adams Light. But if the Aussies would get off their backsides and (please) export Victoria Bitters, then.....

[104456]

Damn ...........I thought that said free beer for a minuite :D
You Yankees only make one decent beer and thats Budweiser http://pages.prodigy.net/rogerlori1/emoticons/4.gif

[jenae]

Hi Bistro, You pay the freight and I will send you a slab of VB (slab is a carton 24).

[P3-450]

An ice cold bud always hits the spot:D

Tiger Beer is great too.

When I went to Oz i couldnt get enough off Tooheys New.

[104456]

Funny you should say that just taste testing a few Tigers now http://pages.prodigy.net/indianahawkeye/newpage15/15.gif

[P3-450]

I was very happy (and suprised) they bought it over to the uk:)

[beanman2k]

After the fourth one, I can't tell the difference. Hic! ;)

[maxximilian]

If I am local.....it's Iron City Light (Pittsburgh area regional brewer). If I am away from the area....its Coors light......

However......vodka generally trumps them all. :p

[Sarrkazztic]

Im with Maxx....gimme vodka.....but if it has to be beer....I like a west coast microbrew......and if I cant be on the west coast.....Ill suffer with bud light

[DELTREE]

I may drink a case of beer a year?

Tiger beer! I drank tiger beer in Viet-Nam, they didn't use alcohol in it
they used formaldehyde in its place; is that what we are talking
about?

104456, if you want a free beer,make it over to my house and get
a YUENGlLING on me or two or three: everyone over my place for a free beer!!

Take Care :D http://pages.prodigy.net/bestsmileys1/emoticons3/BEER3.GIF

[104456]

You buy the ticket we shall come [as they say in the movies] :D

Thanks for the offer ;)

BTW are you overly familiar with the country?

[NielsRb]

I like most beers, but my favorite are German pilsners and Engish ales, which are hard to find around here, so I make my own.

I make it from scratch, buy the barley, sprout, roast, crush, and brew it to
perfection. At least what I, think is perfection.

[Believeitornot]

This is one of my best subjects beer.
Having been a beer drinker most of my life,its treated as a family hobby and pleasure,there must be well over two hundred variety's of beer brewed here in the UK,my favorite two Ales are London pride and Ringwood Ale,and the bitter is Worthington Cream and Whitbread best cant get enough.. :D

jenae: Don't tempt me......VB is the most addicting beer in the world...best stuff I ever had. I have half a mind to hop on a plane and go back there to get some. :) :) :) :D :D

:D DELTREE...I had my baptism with the formaldehyde variety of "Beer 33" while in Nam....most of it was probably fltered through an old Jeep radiator, but by the time you had a couple, you didn't care. :D

R U Kidding !!!!!!!!!1

It tastes like cats *|$$

When I was in the US in 1990 I would have said that budwieser was the worst of a poor lot.

Maybe it's because Australian Beer has higher alocohol content.

Good choices there.

Also Carlton Cold and Tooheys Extra Dry Premium and of course Ye Old Faithful - VB as mentioned by Bistro.

I was with a friend once who was aksed to do a survey on beer.

Being an avid fan of VB the poor girl had no chance when she started asking questions abut other brand beers and he basically started questioning the integrity of why anyone would want to drink anything but VB.

His motto used to be "Eating wastes drinking time" and he could sink quite a few to say the least.

Methinks you are from Melbourne ?????

Sydney folks call it a "Case of Beer".

Also I wonder why we don't export VB after all I'm sure more Australians drink VB than Fosters !!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe that's why they export the Fosters.....no one in Australia will drink it. LOL

[jenae]

Hi Nix, thats why they call it Victoria Bitter, it's a Melbourne thing and slab is also used up home in Northern NSW and QLD.

[photolady]

I haven't drank in 20 years........but when I did, I preferred whiskey (Jack Daniels Black) over beer.......but beer drinking if I had to, it was Coors, or Miller Dark....

[Nix]

And the reason that XXXX is so popular in Queensland is because they don't know how to spell BEER.

LOL :D

Maybe they like their beer extra X-rated.

[crunchie]

Fosters is sugar water :). I haven't had a drink fo over seven years, but when I did it was Swan lager, Emu lager and VB.

That is EXACTLY what my Aussie friend told me when I was visiting a few years back. :D

Bridgeport IPA

After drinking micro brews, I cannot go back to Coors/Bud.

[Luke92881]

I just had to post on this topic...
IMO, the only good beer is Microbrewery Beer... Or Home Brew.
I brew my own beer/wine and I do some work with a local Brewery/BOP (Brew on Premise)
I don't know If I could drink any domestic beers ever again...
Maybe I can inspire people to pick up Home Brew kits and start eventually experimenting on their own and make great new beers.

[K G G]

Born and raised in Germany = beer being part of the daily diet ( one or two that is, not one or two cases ;) ), and that's a tough standard to maintain in this country...

...so, here are my beer comments:

a) most imports here, like the a.m. Fosters, are flops in their native countries, e.g. would be Becks - guess why ...

b) only one national American beer brand is worth being called a beer IMO: Sam Adams (Lager and 4 seasonal brands),
all other so-called beers here (Bud, MGD, Coors) are sweetened water, with little alcohol and bubbles - those commercials were they are used to water the plants are right on the money :p

b1) there are SOME microbreweries that make decent beer, like the Pyramid Hefeweizen in Seattle

c) if you serve beer in frozen glasses that freeze the drink over you are de-facto killing the flavor;
would you do the same with good wines?
my point: doesn't seem to have much quality

d) Warsteiner (Pils), Erdinger (Hefeweizen), Altbier are the real beers, heck who else follows a stringent purity law since 1516
Translation Law 1516 (http://brewery.org/library/ReinHeit.html)

There you got it, my opinion from many bar discussions, now published in the VDr Lounge :D

[bistro]

Drank Erdinger whilst living in Germany....goooooooooood stuff.

[Nix]

So that's why Corona wasn't readily available when I was in Mexico in 1990.

Had some stuff called XX and no it wasn't half the strength of Austalia's XXXX

[Sidewinder]

Im no longer a drinker but there was a time in my life that I could put them away, my drink of choice was of course vodka, but I usually drank Miller Genuine Draft or Fosters, boy that Fosters would get ya buzzed real quick. Sidewinder1

I think that's because it has a high alcohol contents like 5.0 or something.

I think most full strenght Australian beers are 4.7 or so.

[K G G]

Hey Nix, as a VB drinker what do ya think about Tooheys and Cascade ?

[usil]

Carlsberg, probably the best beer in the world.

Before they put VB on tap in Sydney, then Toohey's New would have been the choice for tap beer.

For bottle beer it would probably go:

VB
Carlton Cold \ Toohey's Extra Dry
Toohey's New
Cascade Premium

If I was going to drink low alcohol beer:

Cascade Premium Light

[Train]

Except for a good home brew in Norway, I have not found a good beer since I left Germany in 1969.

[OilPatch197]

anyone tried apple cider?

I've heard if you leave a gallon of apple cider in your frige, and open the cap 6 months or so(to release pressure?) and the cider will become alcholic?

BTW KGG, do German Women shave?:confused:

Have to agree with that scentiment. It's something we Canadians have been saying forever. Americans may do somethings well but brewing beer isn't one of them. You can take the most popular US beer and it still wouldn't begin to compare to any of Canada's worst offerings never mind those that we considered best.

[jenae]

Now, Now, young Calpitor this thread is for adults only. Still I am heartened by the fact that you did not nominate one of Canada's evil brews, indicates you are waiting to reach legal age. Could I perhaps interest you in the temperance league's weekly newsletter (nice pictures).:D :D

What area exactly are you talking about? :D - j/k - let's keep this thread clean, or shaved for that matter.
But, some do, some don't - at least the ones I dated did... :cool:

Hey Nix - Thanks. I took a liking to Toohey New whilst in Sydney this summer. Not a bad brew.

Train - I think you summed it up. Back in the summer of '69...

[Micro_Pirate]

1. Anchor Christmas Ale
2. Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale
3. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

[techallenged]

Stella Artois... the best by far.....

[onlyme27000]

Having a drink problem isnt funny... my father drunk 2 bottles of whiskey a day for years, its fair to say that is what killed him we had him cremated It took 6weeks for the flames to die down....!!!!!
Brandy`s good ( three barrels )
Cider you want a good one go to taunton somerset... get it if the farms green and lumpy taste bad and will make you very ill just what the doctor ordered..???
I tried Cider once was ill for 4days
Beer never...!!!
