Favorite Beer.

[Dlovtsur]

Absolute last resort when there's no other good beer available....along with Heineken. Must be showered with lime though.

[AbbyVonNormal]

When i am out, i do a black and tan if available!

At home....i am a Heineken man...or Murphy's, but Murphy's is hard to find!!

 

[Salmon_Rob]

Guiness or corona for beers

Malibu Coconut, Cap't Mo's Coconut or vanilla and sour apple vodka for the hard stuff

if i have to drink b**** beer, smirinoff raz or bacardi o

Yeah, I knew that about Killian's. Even though it's produced by Coors, I don't consider it to be one in the same. It's kinda like looking at a Lexus as being a Toyota....you know Toyota makes it, but you'll swear up and down it's a Lexus. To me, it's their "top of the line" model.

I put Killian's in the same class as Sam Adams....another mass produced beer that isn't found in overabundance in trailer parks.

Yeah, I admit Killians is good. Nice light dinner beer.

They had a great special on Sam Adams on A&E Biography...or maybe it was discovery channel, with the guy that started Boston Brewing, the people that make Sam Adams.
I was in the Northeast when it was still a microbrew that you had to go to certain pubs to drink (I was still way underage). Not 6 months later, you could pick it up at the liquor store in Indiana. THat guy is a genius, and the beer is great.

Interesting trivia:

Before WWII, most beers tasted more like Sam Adams than Bud. The rationing of barley, oats, etc during WWII meant that they had to make a paler beer, with more water. The troops returning from the war had grown used to the taste of the stuff, and the style of the beer stuck. This is why both Germany and the U.S., big beer makers and drinkers, often serve these ultralight pilsners so commonly. The reason why german pilsners (who use the same brewing method) are better is they use better hops. Other than that, heineken, etc are brewed exactly the same.....

I drink mostly Sapporo, Yuengling, and Bass when it comes to beer.

As for the cheap beers, I'd have to say Pabst Blue Ribbon.

 

[matallama]

For beer:

Negra Modelo
Sierra Nevada
Full Sail
etc.

For the hard stuff:

bourbon (anything but the cheap crap)

I never understood the fascination with Heineken...aka "skunk beer".

try drinking it out of a can, its the glass bottle that really gives it the skunkiness.

As for the cheap beers, I'd have to say Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Pabst Blue Ribbon and Heineken never fail to remind me of Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet...

Gimme a sixer of New Castle or Killian's Red and a good boxing match on TV and I'm set for the night.

I hate Corona. it just taste so cheap. Its piss beer.... I usually stick to Guiness, or whatever microbrew they have on tap similar to it. I like the ones that leave a chocolate aftertaste. And if I am at a party and I am drinking alot of beer, than its almost always heiniken. I usually drink a bottle of vodka though, not too much of a beer drinker...

 

[Dre]

All American beers suck ass. We got the good stuff up here

 

[MinnowGT]

beer and me don't mix well. something about missing an enzyme that breaks down the stuff in beer.

so I generally don't drink, but will have a malibu and coke if I
go out.

 

[bman]

[PaulMP3]

I usually get Yuengling, because its fairly cheap and good.

If i feel like spending a little more i get.
My favorites are New Castle, and magic hat #9

I was just up at teh Magic Hat brewery last monday.. Free beer!!! and 1/2gallon jugs for 6$

 

[jersey_emt]

Too many excellent beers to pick a favorite.

Some of my favorite mass-produced stuff:
Guinness
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Any of the Sam Adams seasonals
Sam Adams lager
Yuengling is an excellent beer for the price
Magic Hat #9 and Blind Faith

Some local stuff:
River Horse Belgian Tripel (9.5% ABV )
Victory Golden Monkey (another strong Belgian Tripel)
Rock Bottom Maximus (dark and strong)
Anything by Heavyweight Brewing (specializes in stronger and 'experimental' beers)

See a trend? I like the darker and/or stronger beers.

Of course I enjoy a Heineken or a Corona sometimes.
