Another reason to drink good beer

I still say Heineken is good. What are you guys comparing it to? Papts? Bud-light?? Heineken is the only beer that i can find that doesn't taste watered down. I haven't tried the Canadian stuff, but I do know Spaten is great beer.

Sweetie we are so going out drinking some time.

I don't wanna be xenophobic swine but you don't have good beer in the USA, unfortunately. You can't beat a bottle of Directors, good brown beer in bottles.
Go to belgium they've got the good beer...
guiness is good and readily available everywhere, my old friends have all started drinking cider and blackcurrrant????

i have to say that i love miller high life, but it can't be fomr a can. also i'm prety sure i could pickthe beast out of a blind tast test as well as the high life

We have plenty of good beer in the USA... just none of it's made by miller, bud, busch, coors or any of these enormous fucking factories.

my favorite (semi) widely available every-night-drinking-style beer is stella artois (lager). it beats the fuck out of heineken no question. beck's isn't so bad either. but, i sure do love a good belgian triple or double, i definately prefer chimay to duvel (as far as widely available trappist ales go), and i'll drink guiness any time, but in general 12 stellas will do me just fine (ima drunk), that is when dollars allow... also, those of you on the west coast can enjoy the fine beers crafted by Stone (san diego) and Rogue (oregon). thems is some good beers. another thing is, am i the only one who can't appriciate PBR? to me it tastes just like the other piss beers, and i KNOW the headache feels the same. maybe it's just me, but i think i could proably pick out half of those beers or more in a blind taste test. but then again, i drink beer for a living. no. no i don't. fuck.

You must visit the pacific northwest sometime, my friend.

Obsidian stout. My mouth is watering now. (Drool.....)

PBR is my favorite cheap piss beer-- tho rolling rock will do just fine, too. But I wouldn't call either one good, as such.
Yuengling's probably my favorite american beer, but you can't swing a dead cat in this town without hitting a microbrewery... some of them are even pretty damn good.

Wait, I forgot my favorite beer (which I can't get in this state).

Fat Tire.

Mmm...Fat Tire...*drool*

ick ick ick, that's the nastiest beer list I've ever seen, I like Labatt Blue but not ice

It's probably better not to buy the four-pack of Duvel when you think you are just eating burritos and going to bed. Beer is gone. Haven't reached the food yet.

This post may be 5+ years old...but it's the goddam truth!!!

I'm sick & tired of tightwad Europeans & Canadians saying that American Beer is crap. it bloody well ISN'T! There are TONS of very good American beers. I've travelled over a great bit of this land and had terrific beers all over.

How would you feel if I judged all English beers by Bass Ale...all Australian beers by Fosters and all Canadian Beers by Molson? Or all German Beers by Becks?

Know what you're talking about before you make such a generalization.

Man, it shows the age of this thread that it went the way it did.


There is so much GREAT American beer that is widely available nowadays. You just won't find it in the macrobrews. You absolutely don't need to buy an imported beer to get something with real, fully flavored, highly concentrated beer flavor. And I'd rather support local business while saving all the money I would've paid to get the beer to me anyway.

Excellent point. The microbrews especially! Almost makes me want to give up on wine. Microbrews have become like cheese, olives, all the other good things ... much variety and subtlety.

recently i was introduced to a lovely concoction called piraat. it was like a hootenany in my mouth.
