Eh, beer is beer really. If someone wants to drink bud light or whatever and get drunk and piss all night more power to them. If you wanna pour a bottle of sludge into a glass and walk around with your pinky stuck out like you are in a wine tasting then go for it. I usually stick somewhere in the middle. Killians for personal consumption, although lately I have been drinking alot of amber boch too. I don't have a problem buying a case of bud/miller/coors light if I am going to have a bunch of people over drinking my stash either. Although on my first trip to new york I tried Stella and was pretty surprised. It wasn't too bad even with the aftertaste. Oh well, quah.

Someone gave me a Grolsh once and if ever there's a beer i want to try again, that'd be it. The bottles are great for homebrewing too.

Never had a Fosters.

If i'm feeling rich and snooty, i'll have a Crown lager. I used to drink 'em all the time so i could save enough bottles for homebrew. The labels are glued on pretty good though.

Apart from that, i'll just drink Swan lager.

I hate the stuff...

I can't drink anything fizzy anyway...

No, not really. [img]tongue.gif[/img] A Bud light is at most a pilsner. Beer is reserved for those special examples which have the 'special beer' name. Triples, dubbles, trappist, blondes, all come to mind.

That said, I usually abhor most pilsners, they are total ripoffs in taste and cash value against my favourite belgian beers like Leffe triple(8%) and La Trappe Quadrupel(10%). Only when I'm in the mood will I drink a couple of those, and I restrict myself to Hertog Jan or Jupiler, brands like Heineken and Grolsch are total toxic waste, but I do hear Heineken is brewed differently out of Holland.

P.S. and Guinnes makes your feces black and turns you fat. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Yah, I guess I shoulda said that to me, beer is beer. I know there are tons of different types but I really don't drink enough to be a beer snob. If I just wanna get a good buzz I will usually drink 5 or 6 and just cruise for the rest of the night. If I wanna get shitfaced liquor is the only thing that tears me up. We made a vat of long island iced teas that had me passed out, although I prefer Crown Royal, on the rocks or mixed with coke depending on the situation.

I'm no snob either, but i drink beer to get drunk, and i'm sorry, but Bud Light isn't going to cut it. It'll take a truckload of that stuff to get a bit a weird light feeling in the head. The beer in the pic i posted is a special brew from Grolsch, and it contains somewhat 13% alcohol and it has a strong bitter taste, exactly the way i like it.

Depends on my budget, If I'm flush and out on the lash then I'll usually go for some Leffe blonde, or Chiti blonde or Asahi, Harp, foreign export guinness (the nigerian stuff) or even an icey glass of Heineken, or Kronenbourg.

Unfortunately Im rarely flush, so have to stick to Tennants super or carlsberg special. :D

Dont think I could pick a favourite, it'd be like a father choosing his favourite child [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]redface.gif[/img]

Sammy Smith Oatmeal Stout, or Bell Stout for me.

STELLA! or Sleeman Porter. I'm 16 though, and don't drink while in the city/during the academic year, so I'm not sure if thats such a good answer lol.

16 is the perfect age to start young padawan. :D
