King Cobra is some quality brew.
















If you're face down in the gutter in a ghetto. And already drunk.

this is amusing to me. the liquor store was carrying gennessee cream ale, i kinda liked it. i told someone i knew that i had some in the fridge and they looked at me like i'd been drinking quim juice from a pox ridden harlot.

It's mostly the day after. The green death screamers... Now, the Brooklyn Brewery in NYC makes a fantastic cream ale well worth swilling.

what is a 'green death screamer'?

A 12 pack of genny green death plus a dozen hot chix wings and the following morning on the pot. "The green death screamers..." Maybe TMI.

Lol!

Genny Cream? Nah, that wasn't too bad. Matt's in the Beer ball....

In Texas, our college beer depended on what we could afford. "The beast" was a step up from CBLL "Carling Black Label Light". CBLL was $.99/sixpack where "the beast" was $2.35/12pack. This was 1984/85.

In NY, the colloge beer was Busch Beer, which from 1986-1988 was around $20/keg. The house where I usually hung out encouraged you to become a "Busch Buddy" and sponsor one keg per trimester. $60 per year for basically all you could drink beer.

not much of a beer drinker...i stick with gin. that being said, i throw a lot of big parties in my house. not everybody shares the love of gin, so i usually pick up kegs or bottles for the rest.

some observations:

if lots of girls are coming to a party, i will always get a keg of Blue Moon, and a bag of oranges to slice. not sure if it's the novelty of it, but non-beer drinking girls suddenly become beer drinkers.

i never drink beer, but i think Corona and Heineken are the two worst.

the most popular selections at my soiree's tend to be:

Becks, St Pauli Girl, Leinenkuegels, Heineken, Fat Tire, Hoegaarden, Newcastle, Guinness...

Here's a pic from last weekend. This was half of the beer....I think I picked up 144 bottles for about 15 people (and most people drank mixed drinks....I have a fridge full of beer)

I'll be there in 20 minutes to remedy that problem of yours.

Dragon Stout. It was just a horrible horrible "rendition" of a "stout".

Oh, I was probably being a poser for even buying it, sorry Sammy.

To Quote Mr. Rogers, "Can I be your neighbor too?":D

Good one. Not me, but someone I know was on the way to a concert having some beers in the car. Someone did piss in a can (a can?) and they got mixed up. My buddy took a big swig out of the piss can....


well, what d you do? I guess he tried to spit it back into the can. He sure did dilute the aftertaste with several more fresh cans. (Did I say cans again? Yikes.)

Keystone Light is Coors Light watered down, if you can imagine. And, yes, it only comes in cans. I could drink KL all day and all night when I lived in Vegas for a year. It was a good find because Vegas is dry and hot, dry and windy or dry and cold. You need about 12 beers a day there. I never would have made it drinking anything with more alcohol in it.

The worst beer was probably Schlitz. Schlitz made a draft sold in bottles that was all together a much better version of the brand. Coors regular tastes bitter to me. I rate Coors pretty low.

Interesting note about Coors, they didn't sell East of the Mississippi for a long time. People in the South would pay a lot for a case of Coors. It was the beer of the college days in CA. That and Mickeys Big Mouth.

Ouch.

My head.

Especially when warm. Was not very fond of Miller Lite either. Milwaukee's best however has the ambient flavor of warm dishwater. :rolleyes:

I remembered this one over the weekend while I was drinking some Tequila.

"Tequiza was a 4,5% abv fruit flavoured pale lager introduced in 1998 in limited markets in the USA, then withdrawn in January 2009."

Embraer several of the beers you listed are wheat or heffeweisen.

Along with Guiness none of them taste like 'beer'. Not to say they're bad...but that's the appeal.

Funny how some guys will look down on light beer while they're putting fruit in their corona or drinking warm tapwater (guiness) or drinking a 'beer' that makes Michelob Ultra taste like a hop-monster by comparison (blue moon, hoegarten, other wheats).

i see what you're saying. i'm no beer connoisseur...i just buy what other people want to drink, but i can see your point.

gin on the other hand...that's the one that i'll discriminate on. :)

what is beer, in your opinion?

That is on my list too, still have one or 2 in the fridge...

i never had tequiza.... has anyone mentioned zima yet? that stuff was awful.

Zima isn't beer, so it doesn't count.. Not too bad mixed with powdered Gatorade though..

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1274726885.jpg

well, i figured that if you were going to include tequiza....

Until now I had forgotten that lapse in judgment that led to me trying Zima.



Now, to go off on some arbitrary tangent......

I posted a list of beers that I don't like. If somebody else likes them, hooray for them. I'm not a beer snob, and I don't care. My list wasn't made up of beers that don't meet my high standards of elite-ness. It was just a list of beers I don't like.

What is beer? Beer is all of those beverages derived from brewed and fermented grains. It is Schlitz and it is Augustijn; it is Guiness and it is Sol. And for everyone who hates PBR, there is a person who hates Three Floyds Alpha King. A person's beer preference is influenced by many things... family, peers, budget, geography, heritage, and innumerable other factors.

IMO, beer snobs are just pretentious jerks.

You know what? I like Miller High Life.
One of my friends likes to snub me for not drinking "classy" beer.
F*ck him - he drives a Buick.


What are the best beers?

I find the list suspect, though. I've not heard of a single one of those beers, and I don't see Budweiser on the list at all. I think it was a rigged contest.

for the record, i'll drink almost any beer, especially if it is free, EXCEPT that josef hofbauer crap. i will not, however, pay my own cash for several, including budweiser (anything) or coors (anything). i'll drink them, but i won't pay good money for them. miller is fine, PBR is fine.

when i think of beer i think of the stuff you drink when eating steamed crabs or attending a baseball game. that, to me, is beer. tastes good with summer food like bbq and hot dogs. cools you off.

anything beyond that and i personally prefer it comes in a 750ml bottle. wheat beers can be very good but honestly i'd reach for a sauv. blanc first given the choice.

that's just me of course.

ok. just checking. technically, most of the american swill is not really beer. in order for a beverage to be beer (again, very technically speaking), it must be made with at least 80% malted barley. most of the grain bill for your barley pops (budweiser, miller, etc.) is going to be 40% rice/corn. and then they filter it so hard that it is stripped.
