The "I believe I'll have a beer" thread

[cdbrown]

I can't believe people actually drink Fosters.  It's one of those aussie beers made for export as no one here drinks it.

International - Grolsch Premium Lager Swingtop
National - Toohey's New
Local - Emu Bitter

Hard to pick just one..

Australia -- VB, Carlton
Canadian -- Lucky, Alexander Keiths
American -- Coors Light, Sam Adams
Mexican -- Corona / Sol
Jamican -- Red Stripe

But I'll take a Vodka Sour over any beer.

In Europe and Australia, lemonade is what Americans call lemon and lime soda, like Sprite.

So what the heck do you call lemonade then?

I have no idea. I've only ever seen lemonade (the one made with lemon juice and sugar) in the US. Though a quick Google tells me that it originated in Spain and was adopted by the French, it probably started life as some kind of non-alcoholic sangria.

I've been brewing my own beer for about 8 years now. Pretty good schtuff. If I had to pick commercial beers:

Guinness
Sam Adams
Yuengling Lager

<the occassioncal fancy schmancy>
Young's Double Chocolate Stout
Young's Oatmeal Stout
Victory Brewing Hop Devil
Dogfish Head Raison d'Etre

Awesome.  My brother and I downed about 30 of these this past weekend.

My wife loves that stuff.  Its pretty good

[sodapopinski]

nothing too fancy.
Labatt's Blue. Canadain beer simply tastes better than any other beer.

[ChadTower]

Not if you're outside of Canada... they seem to make the exports intentionally inferior.

The Fosters we get here in the US is actually brewed in Canada.

Finally...Blue is almost the only thing I drink.  In St. Louis everyone had AB products everywhere.  I try to avoid most of them.  They either give me a headache or taste like water.

[Spaced Invader]

Grolsch, Corona, or any nice Heffe Visen if I'm in Germany.

What about beer you absolutely hate? I had some beer in Turkey (I can't remember the name..but it was local) and this stuff tasted like it was at least 25% vinegar...just nasty. Yes, of course I drank it.

Also, the Budweiser in Ireland is brewed by Guinness, and is considerably less pissy that the US stuff. Not that I'm at all picky about my pissy beers.

Really? I'd actually like to try one of those. Might actually be a Budweiser that's worth drinking.

Disclaimer statment: Not that I'm abve drinking Bud, particularly not if someone else paid for it.

[ErikRuud]

My choices are usually:

Ki-Rin Ichiban
Fosters
XX
Beck's Dark
Bass or Harp Ale
Grolsh

I have tried many micro brews and pseudo micro brews and I usually prefer the Ales or Darks. 

I don't care for stout.

I do like most dark ales that I have tried.

Molson Golden is the only Canadian beer that I have really liked.

[ChadTower]

Molson XXX is like a divine nectar...

The real original Budweiser from the town of that name in Czecheslovakia is good.  The licenced stuff is not.

Sapporo red is pretty good.

Most small town brewery czech or german beers are really good.

Hate?  That's easy.  Red Stripe.  I'd piss in it to make it taste better, but that'd be a perfectly good waste of a leak.

That stuff is formaldahyde in a bottle, minus the refreshing aftertaste!

[GGKoul]

Labatt Blue

Budwiser

Warm beer...

[SNAAKE]

I believe I will have beer too

[GGKoul]

Lets guess what type of beer SNAAKE is drinking...

I assume its a light beer because of the colour... Its alittle too light for Coors Light, so I'll get Bud Light.

[cdbrown]

umm is that ice blocks I can see in that beer.  I remember when I was working in the Philippines and they put ice in beer because the weather was so warm and humid it didn't take long for a nice cold beer to go warm.  It didn't take long for me to just go inside and drink my beer in aircon comfort and minus the ice.  Watery beer bleh

I hate guys who leave unfinished beers around.  People get thrown out of my house for abandoning wounded soldiers like that.

Yeah who drinks beer with ice? Is this something common? I've never heard of it Australia.

I've never seen anyone drink a beer with ice in it either.

[SNAAKE]

I like my beer cold

[DrewKaree]

I like my beer cold

Cold is one thing, watering it down intentionally is like CHOOSING to drink Lite.

You want cold beer, turn your temperature dial in your refrigerator.

Adding ice to beer.....I think that should disqualify you from this thread.  Judges?

I don't drink very often, but when I do a lot of times I will buy Colt 45, just for the irony factor.
