Default Beer

Your top 5 faves and why.

1. Dunkles Hefeweizen - reminds me of youth and all the beer I drank in Germany at the tender age of 16 - plus it tastes KILLER! Not as easy to find in the states as other imports.

2. Hefeweizen - Yeah, great taste and kinda sweet. I like MOST varieties of it, US micro-brews included. A major US beer company mass marketed some Hefe recently, but it SUCKED. Can't remember who . . . want to say Anheuser Busch . . .

3. Coors Light - HEY! I grew up in Denver. That is "Mother's milk" to me. I remember in college, we could get a keg of that stuff for $22. 15.5 Gallon keg, not the "pony" variety. I have drank more of this beer than any other.

4. Amstel Light - Great tasting light beer! I still drink it - when I feel like splurging a bit.

5. Guinness - What can I say, used to be a staple after some crazy-*** sport riding. Still drink it regularly. "I like to eat my beer with a fork." Stouts in general are always good for me in the winter months.

1. Dos Equis. Used to buy it in Sav. for $9.10 a 12pk. Moved to TN where it was $7 for six. Yikes. It's gotta nice sweet full flavor. Doesn't mix well w/ other brews though. If you start with XX you gotta stay with it.

2. Mill Bakery, Eatery, & Brewery's River Street Red. This was a joint in Sav. that brewed there own, and one of the few homebrews that I liked. Just a tiny bit of a bitter aftertaste that went well with a huge pile of Nachos.

3. Rolling Rock. Hey it's from the glass lined tanks of old Latrobe. Nice crisp flavor that also doesn't mix well w/ other brews, but hey a bucket of Rocks is all you need.

4. Castlemaine. Nice smooth Aussie brew. Also has a bit of a sweet flavor. I reckon when it comes to Beer, I like em sweet.

5. Bud Light. Pretty generic by some standards, but for me, it works well for all purposes, whether monitoring the grill, cutting the grass, or channel surfing.

Do tetleys do a lager? Or do you mean tetleys bitter.

1. Stella artois - reassuringly expensive but gets you drunk as a skunk after 5 or 6 which is better than any session lager.

2. Kronenbourg 1664 - a close second, slightly more refreshing.

3. Paulahner - german genius

4. Bombardier - nice slow supping pint of bitter when the lagers just won't do.

5. Guinness - stomach setller for the morning after.

1- Grolsch - something about Holland and beer
2- Stella Artois - Nice blonde
3- Kilkenny - Smoother than a Guiness, the best cream ale for my tastebuds.
4- La Maudite - Microbrewery that started in Quebec. This one is 8% alcohol
5- Labatt Blue - The beer of every good Quebecer. A good everyday pilsener.

1 - Icehouse: First and foremost, I'm a drunk. I'm not a beer connoisseur, I'm an alcoholic. Taste is secondary, alcohol content per dollar spent is of paramount importance.

2 - Dos Equis: I'll take either one. They both get me drunk.

3 - MGD: Decent taste, good price.

4 - Budweiser: I can drink it.

5 - Busch: See reasoning behind Icehouse.

For all the insecure, pinky-tipping beer sissies that'll say, "American beer ain't really beer," I say, "Bite me." I'm drunker'n you, and I've still got gas money.

Good one, Landry.



I fear no beer!!!!!!

But, I enjoy:

1.) Coors Light - Fairly cheap and gets me drunk without the morning after effects (it's my all purpose brew)

2.) Sol - Gotta have this one at a Mexican restaraunt (a million times better than Corona)

3.) Yeungling - Hey, it's America's oldest brewery, you can't go wrong

4.) Guiness - I love that thick stout when it's cold outside

5.) Whatever's on special that night - when I need to get drunk at the bar/club

Corona - Better than Sol (sorry layinlo) Nice Summer refresher

Rickard's Red Draught - Nice full flavour, no bitterness.

MGD - Smooth

Sleamans Cream Ale - Sweet and smooth

Corona better than Sol......no way!!! hehehe


I give you credit for at least trying something other than Corona. Most people only think of it when they think of Mexican cerveza.

UUGH, Corona is overpriced, over-hyped crap.

There are a couple in the ones listed so far that I haven't tried. Cool! Gives me some ideas for the winter, as I don't drink a whole lot in the summer.

I like beer soooo much, its my downfall.

1. guiness
2. dos equis
3. this german beer I can't remember how to say or spell, but i bet I can find it at the store.
4. rolling rock
5. whatever somebody else paid for (thats my favorite)

I don't drink much these days, too hard to stick with a good workout and do much drinkin.

hmm i dunno about top 5...i only have 3 that i enjoy

1) Becks - great taste, low carbs = super duper hahaha

2) Heineken - first beer i ever had, still enjoy it, very classic

3) Tiger - only have in asia (or asian markets) and it's a pretty good beer, sorta light but tastes good

4) Hefeweizen - they had it at the pub at uc irvine so anytime i went i drank that...it's pretty good, not as good as the aforementioned.

5) Some australian beer i had while on a flight back from malaysia...it wasn't fosters but it wasn't bad at all...


everything else, i dunno, not a big fan...corona, bud, miller, they're just not my taste...

1. Guinness (I've visited the brewery in Dublin - you may all bow in my presence...);

2. Rickard's Red (it goes great with honey garlic wings!);

3. Keith's (I can't believe the guys from the Maritimes haven't mentioned it!);

4. La Maudite (in moderation - it'll bite you for sure!); and

5. Kirin Honey Brown (Japanese - imagine Rickard's with a gold colour and hint of honey flavour!!).

If you want a pale ale in the Maritimes, get a Moosehead Ale. Keith's is for those Nova Scotian wussies.

1. Killians Irish Red - Has a wonderful aftertaste. No matter how many beers I try I always go back to Killians.

2. Heinekin - The perfect great tasting beer at an affordable cost.

3. Guinness - The only beer I can drink one of and be completely satisfied.

4. Mythos (I drank this in Greece/ Pronounced "mee - toes") - Very cheap and good tasting beer, just wish I could get it around here.

5. New Castle - By far the most distinct flavor beer I have ever had, just too bad it costs $8.99 a six pack.

1. New Castle or Michelob GD, depending on how thick the wallet is that day.

2. Just about any microbrew.
