I created one of these a few months back, but i cant find it. So i figure while im drinkin some beer.....

This is the thread on everything beer (maybe liquor too) from the way you prefer to drink it (on tap, can, bottle) to how much you can drink. Want to rant about a beer you hate? Brag about one you love? Or even the crazyiest drunken mishap and/or adventure you've ever head.

Whatever it is...as long as its about beer post it here!

1.Yuengling (what can i say im a PA man, best homestate brew in my mind)
2. Stella D'Artois (sp?) (when i can afford it [which is never:( ])

4. Hoegarden (again when I can afford it)
5. Guiness
6. Corona (pretty much any variation, they all taste the same. again a good fallback beer. since i am broke the fallback beers are higher on the list)

Doesn't it look sexy?

1.) Hefeweizen (homebrew)
2.) Arrogant Bastard Ale
3.) Yuengling (Hell, I'm not even PA and I think the stuff is good!)
4.) Russian Imperial Stout (homebrew, think motor oil, only tasty)
5.) Anheuser-Busch Budweiser (my inexpensive fallback)
6.) Guinness
7.) Great Lakes Brewing Company Burning River Pale Ale
8.) Great Lakes Brewing Company Commodore Perry India Pale Ale
9.) That stuff I had at Ashley's it was amazing!
10.) Killians Irish Red


Five Worst
1.) Natty Ice - used to torture detainees at Guantanamo
2.) Keystone Light - Coors light, mixed with water
3.) The four year old homebrew shit I drank two weeks ago. Stale, stale, stale, stale, stale.
4.) Miller High Life
5.) Natty Light

Bass
Corona (not the Light)
Guiness
Newcastle Brown
Hoegarden
Stella Artois
Pilsner Urquel (except it makes me think of Urkle)
Lambic Cassis & framboise
Old Peculier
various brands of India Pale Ale

I remember when it used to be easy to buy beer, there was no real decision-making involved, there was Miller, Bud and ... you picked one and were out of there. Now it's, well, I don't know, what am I in the mood for, lalala, dark or light ...:rolleyes:

:eek: Arrogant Bastard Ale. I forgot about that one. Good Stuff. Monty Pythons Holy Grail Ale on the other hand....not so good.
I can honestly say I've never had the Monty Python's HG Ale, I'd imagine that if it is shitty, the only reason it continues to exist is because of the marketability of its name.



i thought it would be used to kill detainees.
Painful, slow death actually, they make 'em think that they have an antidote, and once they confess they'll get it.


They don't.

Thank you very, very much :D

Yeah and when i found it while living in NYC it was next to none other than the arrogant bastard ale. I bought both...guess which one i liked more.
HG Ale takes like dark dark dark dark piss in a bottle. Terrible stuff. Gets you drunk off your ass after two 22 ounces though....

No Mouthwash, toothpaste, or jalepeno can get that aftertaste out of your mouth.....

thanks.
Chugging cider! I remember the days. *Thinks of childhood memories*
Who else drank those big bottles of White Lightning as a kid? That has to go on my list of the worse booze.

not as bad as Thunderbird....what the hell made me think drinking malt wine would be a good idea....was it the 18-19 percent per volume perhaps? it sure wasnt the jizzy taste thats for sure...

Favorite Beers:
Blue Moon - delicious
Sea Dog Raspberry Pale Ale - big fan of fruity beers
Corona Lite - also delicious
Pabst Blue Ribbon - good cheap beer for drinking games

Too tired at the moment to think of anything else.

PBR on tap/ in bottle = good, beer pong classic

PBR in a can = you feel your liver die as you drink it.

two things

1. Why the high life hate? Cheap, and not too bad compared to a lot of other american generic beers

2. I love the 211, personally. 8,1 percent, woot!

1. Funny, I've never even got a headache off of high life. Then again, little gets me sick or hung over.

2. 8.1 percent beer get a "thats all"? Its pretty high, especially for an american beer. I like the taste too, incidentally.

Very few beers make me sick. High life is one of them.

I can't drink beer. I'm illegal.

I know its a lot for american beer, its jsut when you drink it you can swear the content is higher..

I can't drink beer. I'm illegal.

ah, well then drinking may not be a good idea.

Ive only ever met two beers I didnt like.

MGD and Coors Light. All others are good.

10 Best (no order, I'd appreciate any one of them at any time):
For the German beer names, forgive my inability to get an umlaut to work in this forum -- anyone know how?

1. Koestritzer Schwarzbier; Germany
2. Widmer Hefeweizen; Seattle, WA
3. Sudwerk Maerzen; Sacramento, CA
4. McMenamins Troll Porter; Portland, OR
5. Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock; Germany
6. Stella Artois; Belgium
7. Blue Moon Belgian White; Golden, CO
8. Redhook Blonde Ale; Seattle, WA
9. Flying Pig Everett Beer; Everett, WA
10. Roslyn Dark; Roslyn, WA
[11. Thomas Kemper Bad Goat Bock; Poulsbo, WA -- brewery defunt, victim of its own phenomenally popular soda line]

5 Worst:

1. Schmidt; LaCrosse, WI (Known more for the art on the cans than the piss inside them)
2. General Brewing Lucky Lager; San Francisco, CA (Hard to believe that the city that gave us Anchor Steam also gave us this turd)
3. Budweiser; St. Louis, MO (Beer should not burn your throat going down)
4. Pabst Generic Beer, aka "Beer beer"; San Antonio, TX (The one word on the label is dangerously close to false advertising)
5. Boddington's; England (I know I'm going to draw fire for this, but I honestly don't taste why there's an appeal for this brand at all)

At least Lucky Lager has those freaky lil puzzles under the caps.;

At least Lucky Lager has those freaky lil puzzles under the caps.;
The Lucky rebus. Yeah. The only good thing that can possibly happen when opening a bottle of that swill. "Beer beer" had them, too...jeez, but it sucked being an underage drinker out in the sticks.

1.Yuengling (what can i say im a PA man, best homestate brew in my mind)

Never had it.

2. Stella D'Artois (sp?) (when i can afford it [which is never:( ])

It tastes like metal...drinkable, I guess....

3. Miller Lite (the cheap, reliable, fallback beer (cmon everyone has one), can pound a lot and never be sick or hungover)

Never had it, and wouldn't, out of principle. Light beer?

4. Hoegarden (again when I can afford it)

Okay-ish. Actually, pretty good...probably my favourite on the list.

5. Guiness

I like it, but it's overrated.

6. Corona (pretty much any variation, they all taste the same. again a good fallback beer. since i am broke the fallback beers are higher on the list)

Overrated.

7. Smithwicks

Dunno.

8. Amstel Light

Dunno, but again, light beer isn't beer.

9. Heineken

Yuck.

10. Killians Red

Sounds familiar. I may have had it before, but i'm not certain.

1. Koestritzer Schwarzbier; Germany


Good choice.

Also good:

Krug Bräu
Hetzelsdorfer
Zirndorfer
Ampferbacher Max Bräu
Hofmann Bräu

i used to drink quite a lot, but never really liked the taste of anything that much... except two things:

1. hertog jan beer from Holland... mmmm :)
2. snakebite and black in the UK - half a pint each of beer and cider mixed together with a shot's worth of blackcurrant juice. tastes so good, and also gets you good and pissed good and quick! (mixing cider and beer together has that effect IIRC. a lot of places refuse to sell it and will only sell you two halves to mix yourself)


used to be able to drink quite a lot, too. not mixing my drinks, 8 to 12 pints was a good evening, sometimes more (but would be ill :p)
if i mixed my drinks (as was often the case; unavoidable with snakebites) then that number was brought down severely... could get ratted on 6 pints :P cheaper! :p but then i also don't have much tolerance for mixing drinks and would nearly always barf :( still, barfing = no hangover, so i was happy about it :cool:


i realised that i didn't actually enjoy being drunk, going out to the same old shitty places, didn't enjoy drunk people's company, no longer enjoyed the novelty and general feeling of being drunk... so i stopped drinking, and haven't had a single beer since christmas :)

aah. beer. a subject very close to my heart. (but not tonight. tonight Rum and martinis were on the menu...)

favorites:
Fat Tire. love love love.
i'm a budlight drinker at bars (cheap, tolerable) if i'm buying.
Killians Irish Red. the first beer i ever drank.
PBR
Guiness. on tap. room temp. the way it was meant to be served.

I only drink my beer from bottles. i don't dig the metalic taste of cans...

i never touch...

miller ANYTHING. pisswater.
heineken. just yuck.
natty anything. (it's a misprint. it should say "Nasty Lite" on the box)


i'm really a liquor drinker at heart. jager is my favorite poison (red-headed sluts are my favorite drink ever, jaeger bombs being a close second, and yes, thats really the name of the drink) follwed closely byTullamore Dew or Jamisons (cuz i'm a whiskey kinda girl) and then tequila that isn't super cheap. i'm addicted to hypnotiq. and absynthe, even though we can only get the "southern wormwood" (ie no opiates) here unless we order it and have it shipped. ooh and what the hell is that drink called with the strongbow??? SNAKE BITES!!!!! <3<3<3 hoorah and such. and chambord 1800 margaritas from Chillis. mmmmm.


no i'm not an alcoholic. i don't go to meetings. i'm not a drunk because i don't drink by myself. i prefer the term lush. because it's more fun to say.

PBR on tap/ in bottle = good, beer pong classic

PBR in a can = you feel your liver die as you drink it.
LONG LIVE BEER PONG. god i suck at that game. not that it matters.usually beer pong (or Three Man) nights were the nights i was glad i could keep up with the boys or drink them under the table.

follwed closely byTullamore Dew or Jamisons (cuz i'm a whiskey kinda girl)


You have fine taste. :D

You have fine taste. :D
fine... expensive.... it's all the same.

When did this thread start? Maybe last night, when I was out drinking beer?

I generally tend to drink Moosehead first, and if not available, I switch to Alexander Keith's. A beer that I don't normally drink, but get's an honourable mention because I was so impressed when I had it the other day is Steamwhistle.

Generally, I don't have any beers that I won't drink, but I'm not overly fond of the darker Guinness-style beers. Molson Extra-Dry kinda grosses me out, because it reminds me of the first time I got horribly sick from drinking the shit.
