Ok, I drink real beer, but I also like Miller Lite. It's great ice cold after a long day at work. This thread isn't about real beers, like microbrews and most imports. It's a thread to show our appreciation for the cheap mass-produced lagers our great nation is unfortunately known for. If you like a nice, normal shit beer say it loudly and proudly on this thread.

Mmm! Beeeer! :D

Pabst Blue Ribbon, Hamm's, Schlitz . . .

Where's the poll?

booo...

booo...
What? You don't like BEER? Nectar of the gods? Liberator of mankind? Very drink of very drink?? OMG! [ massive trout-smack! ] :p

If you want to talk mainstream american beer, you might as well piss in a glass and drink it. It won't make any difference.

How the hell can you appreciate canned horse urine?

Canadia makes better Beer than you.

Your piss is alcoholic?!:eek:

I sadly drink PBR most of the time because it is the cheapest without being natty or the beast. I'd prefer a miller or budweiser tho

Nothing is better on a 104 degree farenhieght day than a piss clored almost frozen mass produced American beer. :D

Tapping the old Miller ad campaign?

I'll greet them at the curb with a few bottles of River Horse. That ought to calm them down.

Miller is actually slightly better than tuborg grøn or heineken. Bud is more like german lager, without being rheinheitsgeboten.

Iron City's good, too.

IMHO septic tank overflow is slightly better than Heineken.

I'll drink American beers like Bud or Miller if there's nothing else. If I have a choice though, it's a different story.

Lucky Lager. $2 a 12 pack and it has games on the underside of the caps. :p


It all starts to taste the same after the third one anyway.

It's a real "blue collar" beer. The alcahol content is quite high compared to most American beers, and it's a pretty strong brew.

And if you wanna just get shit faced, it's all about that Brickhouse Malt Liqour, ma nigs. Comes in 64 oz. bottles. :)

True. It's refreshing. You can just pound them down until you start to lose consciousness.

I don't drink. Before you start screamin, I would have to point out that I am 15 and I go to a school with the crappiest parties ever. In the middle of Herionville, USA. Quite a contridiction there.

However, the best I've ever had was some homemade hard apple cider. All the beer I've tasted, which just so happens to be mass produced crap beer, tasted like, you guessed it, crap.

But if I had to base it on something I understand, such as, I dont know, commercials, probably Miller. They got the funniest, except when Budwieser comes out with a doozy every now and then.

In conclusion, Cruzan Rum. Hands down.

Oh, and this..

I must try this beer.

I usually keep a case of Usian Barley Pop in the fridge across the summer (no other time) because I really don't like sugary sweet soft drinks.

Usually it will be the cheapest "light" 5.9 or 6.0 I can find. I'm just going to add lemon juice to it anyway.

When I want a Beer, I'll pull out a Stout. When I'm hot and thirsty, Lemon Barley Pop is the answer.

I don't know why people don't like Miller. I see it as a good beer without paying the extra cost for an import.

you guys might want to check out steel reserve. http://www.steelbrewing.com/

No. Way. You totally guessed it.

Nah, I just go to school there. Wish I did, my town has crap.
Edit: To do. My town has crap to do. Yeah. I should probably go back to sleep...
They also literally have crap. Lieing around everywhere. Thanks cows, thanks.

There used to be a beer called Champale. I shit you not. I've got an oversized champale glass like the one on the following advertizement at home.

I like Miller. American beer is no worse than big name British lager so don't feel too bad.

Yeah, thanks. That's what I actually meant. I just forgot to type the words "horse urine". Thanks for the spot.

OMG, not Lucky! Anything but Lucky. That stuff should be confiscated by Homeland Security on the grounds of it being a WMD! I remember with horror being in a rural community that really liked Lucky beer. It was like a nightmare.

Now I’m sure that there have to be some decent beers in America, it’s just that every time I’ve been down there I’ve only been served your very worst. “Milwaukee’s Finest” brand of beer would have tasted better if they’d melted the can down and poured me that instead. If I was from Milwaukee I’d burn the brewery down for the bad name it gave my town. Bud Lite is well, like having sex in a canoe as the famous saying goes…

I remember being down at a bar on Whidbey Island, run by some ex-marine, trying to get find something stronger than Bud Lite (there wasn’t). Even the hard stuff they had at the bar was light. It’s like the local base commander ordered them to keep from getting their troops drunk or something.

I had Budweiser once. I put it on par with Fosters.

Um.

I'm informed that Sam Adams is a decent massproduced one, yes or no? I can get it here.

In my teen years, when I had to get my older friends with cars to buy it for me, Bush, King Cobra & Old English 800! Nowadays, Miller Lite and occasionally Rolling Rock! Still, nothing beats Samuel Adams!!!:)

When I drink beer - which is rarely - I tend to go for Stella. That's about as mass produced as you can get. (Though it's not from the US).

It tastes oddly metallic. When I drink it, i'm reminded of runoffs from an iron mine or something. It's not bad from a keg, but from a bottle, urgh.

I’ve never met a single Australian that didn’t have anything horrible to say about Fosters. I still remember those magically huge coffee tin sized cans of beer from Australia (10% alcohol) that a friend of the family had on the shelf of his cabin. He once ran a Pub in Darwin during WWII called the Thirsty Fox, which was frequented by pilots. I have my doubts if they still sell beer cans that big in Australia anymore though…

While I can drink the cheap stuff, I find it goes better with a dash of salt (no lie, if you haven't tried it, please do, it actually makes the flavor better).

Though, I tend to prefer Belgian style beers in general. There's a brewery in Maine called Alagash that makes some of the best of that style outside of Belgium itself. Try their Trippel, you'll love it!

Yah. I never drink it from a bottle. Only on tap.

Oddly enough, from what I remember of my days of drinking massive quantities of beer, it's one of those that actually tastes better in a can than in a bottle.

Well, Fosters is terrible. That's why nobody here drinks the shit so it gets exported. As for cans that big, I don't know...haven't seen any, but you can buy what is known as a "Darwin Stubbie": a 1.25 litre (75 ounce) glass bottle of beer. Cans that big originating in Darwin wouldn't surprise me. :p

Well, since I just shave it off anyway, that seems kind of pointless.

Miller High Life is ok. But my favorite American beer is Shiner Bock. http://www.shiner.com/beers/beers-bock.html

ok no one metioned Leinekugel's its from wisconsin and its my fav better than any american beer i have had so far and they got a few varieties pretty tasty stuff check it out here http://www.leinie.com

Man I was playing some Beirut earlier tonight, so I just gotta mention Busch Light and PBR. Two great drinking game beers there.

I don't like most of the beers people think of when American beer is mentioned - Bud, Miller, PBR, Coors or the like. I'd rather have sparkling water or lemonade or something. This is not to say that there are no good American beers, I just happen not to like the ones that most people associate with the US.

ok..i like samuel adams..alot..lol...but yuengling for a cheap mass produced beer is decent.

i also drink mostly rolling rock during the summer cause it sems lite but it gets me tuned playing horeshoes...woohoo.

Miller Lite is generally what I drink at home, as it's what I was raised on. :p

Otherwise, it's ale all the way, though.:D

Steel reserve is pretty awesome

American beer is more watery than my piss thats for sure...

It's a big ad (http://videosift.com/story.php?id=870)
Great beer advert there.
American beer is generally crap. Miller, Bud, Coors...all crap. Crap, crap, crappity, crap, crap. Never tried one I liked. I guess it might be better in America, rather than exported or made over here, but it would have to be a massive improvement for me to like it.

Yeah, that's a good ad. The beer's not too bad either.

Coors! They have one of the ethical standards among companies in the USA. Apparently the British NUS had something do with it - in that either they would would supply all their SUs with the beer or none depending if the company met up with their demands. So yeah, go constructive engagement!... and Coors!

Only II don't drink Coors because I don't really enjoy drinking larger, except for the ocassional pint of Stella Artois or Kronenberg 1664 - v. strong *nods*

Stella & 1664, they're about 5%, right? In Aus, 5% is the usual alcohol content for beers, it's not considered strong at all.

stella is strong..?




To be honest I've never drunk generic American beer before.

Stella & 1664, they're about 5%, right? In Aus, 5% is the usual alcohol content for beers, it's not considered strong at all.I dunno, it's weird. If I drink the equivalent alcholic volume of stronger ales or wines or spirits then I don't get drunk as fast. Maybe it's the fizziness or something. I remember drinking Golden Pride, which is a barley wine and it took me longer to get drunk on that...

Stella and 1664 just go straight to my head.

stella is strong..?

Not really. Most beers in the UK are about 4-5%, so no, they ain't strong.

American beer is awful stuff, yet to find one I can drink more than 1 of. I'd rather go ale, but if we have to stick to lager than Bavaria would be the tipple of choice. http://www.bavariahollandbeer.co.uk/index.php?pid=24

Bavaria? That stuff is crap! It's watery shite. Even Heineken is better and that says a lot. But I can see why you Americans like it, because all the major brands are the same crap.

Alcohol is disgusting. Incredibly disgusting. How anyone can enjoy it, I'll never understand...

(The fact that I pass out at even a small sip of alcohol has nothing to do with my attitude towards it.)

Why not a beer? :p

Beer is generally outlawed in Governmenteum. Only the highest police and security forces get the clearance for 1 per week. Any thing else could cause anarchy!

Why not a beer? :p

I have knocked it on the head for a few weeks.

I visited Aus a few months back and tried quite a few beers.

Clearly you are better at wine, whereas us Brits are better at brewing. What I would say is that you have less absolute cack on sale. In GB there are world class beers and at the same time utter rubbish.

"Beer is generally outlawed in Governmenteum. Only the highest police and security forces get the clearance for 1 per week. Any thing else could cause anarchy!"

No, it is just a game and all made up.

I like Miller. American beer is no worse than big name British lager so don't feel too bad.


Yes, don't feel too bad that American piss is no worse than British piss. I lived in Munich for eight years and, trust me, Budweiser is NOT like a German lager: it is like German cat's piss. Only less good. And the same goes for any other US mass produced beer I have ever tasted. Having said that, there are good American microbrews out there.

It is true that you can get dreadful beer in Britain. The difference is you can also get world class beer.

Our American friends are far better at wine, although the Brits are far ahead on whisky. It all evens out really.

Well, yes, I was referring specifically to British lager, as that was what had been mentioned in the post I was replying to. Our ales stand comparison with the best from anywhere else in the world, even including Bavaria (the place, not the cheap piss).

As far as whisky goes, we do need to be a tad more specific than "Brits" are far ahead on whisky. The SCOTS are far ahead on whisky. And proud of it.

For American beers, I'd say the only one I ever enjoyed is Coors. I've had a number of others, like Miller, Bud, Busch... yuck. And I might add that I only enjoy Coors every once in a while, and the Coors you get in Canada which is a different brew I believe.

My trips down south.. I generally skip on the beer and go straight for hard liquor, gin and tonic primarily.

Anyways, I enjoy a wide variety of beers, but my favourite is Alexander Keith's. Yes, I know its not a real pale ale, but damn, its got a perfect blend of initial bite and suave aftertaste. I also drink Rickard's on a fairly regular basis. But it always comes back to Keith's at the end of the day. *wistful sigh*

Yes, British lager, as opposed to lager, is rubbish.

The English are good at beer, the Scots are good at whisky.

by the way, PBR is much better from the keg than the can. Oh, and my head hurts.

In my experience, while I can't say I like most American beers (and I am American) I'm OK with a few of them. Yeungling, Amber Bock, Honey Brown... and the first two are even produced by two of the big beer companies, IIRC.

...and the other stuff you find in the beer section is sometimes quite good. I can't notice a real difference in quality between hard ciders that say they're English and hard ciders that say they're from Vermont.
