Here are the two of some of the best beers. To those that have been cultured and have seen the world, you'll likely recognize these.

Trying a new one tonight - Hoegaarden from Belgium. Can't really describe it - it is a wheat beer that is very strong - but really has no discernible flavor . . .

Odd.

Hoegarden is supposed to be pretty good.

I finally had a Labatt Blue the other night. It wasn't the hillbilly swill I had it pegged as! I might have to get me some for the game tomorrow.

The Beer Prayer

: Our lager,
: Which art in barrels,
: Hallowed be thy drink,
: Thy will be drunk,
: I will be drunk,
: At home as I am in the tavern,
: Give us this day our foamy head,
: And forgive us our spillages,
: As we forgive those who spill against us,
: And lead us not to incarceration,
: But deliver us from hangovers,
: For thine is the beer,
: The bitter and the lager,
: Forever and ever,
: Barmen

Funny thing, right now I'm drinking ass-beer...



Well, almost... Aass is a norwegian brewery but the norwegians call it ass-beer for fun

yuengling- I live 45 minutes from the brewery it is required at all social functions in southeast Pennsylvania

Miller High Life- the champagne of beers, just not out of a can

Natty light- Nothing better for a game of beer pong or an all day tailgate

Lancaster Milk Stout- only made in small batches and at certain times of the year but if you can find it is better then Guinness

Brahma- Brazilian beer that is made for drinking in the summer. They have it on the west coast but it is very hard to come across in the northeast.

Bonus beer- Dogfish Head 60 and 90 minute pale ale. Great little brewery in Delaware.

Ok all of you "Beer nuts", how about some beers that suck. I mean really. Like lots of you fellow imbibers, I've had a good selection of tasty stuff over the years. Are there some out there that should be avoided, even if you are desperate??
No offense to anybody, but I've come to not being a fan of the typical mainstream brews.
I'll leave the names out for now.
Just curious.

First and foremost...Brahma....(no offense to the other guy). That stuff was tough to drink. That was probably my first beer that I've ever wanted to dump the whole sixer of. (I ended up keeping the leftovers for company that I didn't like.)

The Bud's, the Miller's, The Coors's of the world.

Most anything in a green bottle with the exception of Yuengling..for some reason the following doesn't apply to Yuengling lager.

Green bottles allow U-V and Fluorescent light in which reacts with the chlorophenols in the Hops, thereby producing a "skunky" brew. Some people like it...I do not. After all these years, and science telling us that light damages the Hops, you have to wonder why the brewer doesn't change...unless they are shooting for this as a bonus ingredient? Shoot. They don't even have to change the bottles. Just put it in a cardboard sixer that covers the bottles.

Just say no to Green Bottled brews...

I've heard about the non-brown bottle issue myself, and try to get brown bottles exclusively. When I end up with a brew that just doesn't tickle my taste buds, I save it for cooking hot dogs in. Does make for a tasty weiner.

That's awesome! I've often sacrificed a shizzitty brew or two to make a swimming pool for the Brat's on my grill. (That's <br*ot*sss> not <br*ats>) !!
