When I lived in Montreal I enjoyed sampling what was an entirely different selection of beer than I had been used to in Ontario...many of them French or Belgian..."Biere de Garde de St Leonard", par example. Or "Mort Subite" (not recommended for the feint of heart).
Eventually, I discovered that no beer was or is more satisfying than a cold Belle Guelle on a hot summer afternoon, enjoyed on a terrace somewhere along Rue St. Denis...ahhh...Je me souviens...
Nowadays, however, I rarely order anything other than Guinness.

Coors Light (Canadian version) and Dos Equis. I also like Red Stripe.

Unibroue!! Terrible! (10.5%!) Hold the Factory Water, Microbrews usually are good, Lagunitas...here I come! Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA from PA, Arrogant Bastard Ale from Stone Brewing, San Marcos, Ca, Storm IPA, Vancouver,
oh, there's more to say, but...it's a lifelong journey, one beer at a time, ha ha

Whiskey Sour is my favourite accompaniment to a really good cigar. Only trouble is that you have to eat a whole package of "Tums" afterwards.

Posted by Luke Scanlan (Member # 2481) on :
BECK'S, Heineken, Guinness, etc. Anything with a little color, and body is good. I agree with you Amy, the "Hammerhead Red" at Hops, is great! Pretty much anything in a green bottle works for me. I like trying different beers. I prefer the heavier, darker ones. I get a headache just saying Budweiser. Being sign people, I thought we're ALL supposed to be drunks?? I hear that, everytime a break out a brush, and paint something. That old legend of the guy who couldn't paint a lick, til he had a bottle in him, comes up. I still want to meet this amazing character. To those who can't sample the "Devil's Brew", more power to ya! There's nothing wrong with NOT drinking! Have fun, but be safe.

Any of the above with a Hoyo de Montery Excalibre maduro or an Ashton Vintage Cabinet selection cigar. (Good people and bug repellent.)
A good 20yr old or better single malt scotch or a single barrel bourbon is on the list too.
Trying to find the above, living as close to Utah as I do, to say the least a challenge.

Ive never been able to acquire the knack for drinking beer. I actually think its about the nastiest stuff Ive ever drank. Back when I was a musician, I did my fair share of drinking, but only for the buzz. Not the taste. Must be my buds or something. Posted by Peter Schuttinga (Member # 2821) on :
Hey Jon, sounds like the Aussie take on American Beer is the same as us Canuckle heads.

Steve brought some Canadian beer down to a meet for me to try and it was soooo good and smooth. But, it will knock your socks off if you're not tough enough for it. Sheesh, I'm getting thirsty. Tonight is Ladie's night at the Harbor and I will all the Miller Light I want for free!

ODE TO THE DRINKIN' MAN:
I wouldn't consider startin' the day without an eye-opener.
I can really appreciate a mid-morning pick-me-up.
I usually can get a couple martinis under my belt before my lunch arrives.
I love a good dark beer for lunch and love to wipe the froth from my mustache.
Me and the boys take bets on how many chasers we can pound down before returning to work.
I've been known to keep a bottle of Wild Turkey in my desk for our afternoon office break -- just for medicinal purposes -- of course.
I rarely miss a happy hour.
When I get home, I expect my wife to have a Schnocker waitin' for me before supper.
I'm very fussy about the wine I drink with my evening meal.
I'm equally fussy about my after-dinner liqueur.
After supper I get down to some serious drinkin'
And I wouldn't consider goin' to bed with out a night-cap.
But this sip, sip, sip all day long has just got to stop!!!!!!

Posted by Cam Bortz (Member # 55) on :
Beer....ahhh.... really good beer is one of the joys of life. My absolute all-time favorite is to sit down in a nice cool tavern in Prague and drink big steins of draught Pilsner Urquell or Czech Budweiser (the real thing, not the tasteless swill produced by Anheuser-Busch...yechh!) My local packie also has a Czech beer called Rebel, another very tasty pilsner.
Other favorites: Draught Guinness, or Murphys or Beamish (all dark, rich Irish stouts). Lately a few local pubs have had another Irish import called Smithwicks (pronounced "Smiddicks"), and then there are some very good (and some decidedly mediocre) microbrews. Beer preference for me is very situational - at home I like bottled Czech Pilseners or a good German brew like Becks or Spaten, but away from home I drink what's right for the occasion or the environment I'm in at the moment. What I avoid at all costs is anything at all from Anheuser-Busch, Miller or Coors.

I tried Alexander keith's the other day and I guess "those who like it like it alot" It was OK, but I darded not touch the label... Some old potlicker would likely come and give me s**t, cause you know old Alexander keith draws every label by hand with no tracin"

Witness OK springs after being bought out by Sleemans... also Shaftsbury here, Sleemans bought them, not the same beer anymore...Nelson Brewery Paddywack IPA, now there's a good one for today!

It takes the subject of beer to unite us, isn't that the way it should be. There is a new store here called Euromart that sells many obscure beers (to me), a lot that are Czech beers. After Cams post he has piqued my interest in them. Sounds like a good trip Cam, taking in the culture and their beer. Just what I will do on my future Ireland trip.

Posted by Kimberly Zanetti (Member # 2546) on :
I haven't had a beer since I was 16 - can't even stand the smell of the stuff. My husband on the other hand loves nothing better than a tall ice-cold Guiness.
Lately, I've been partial to a Cosmopolitan on the rocks made with Bacardi Limon (instead of the vodka) and extra lime juice. The medication I'm taking for my heart intensifies the effects of alcohol so one cocktail is usually plenty for me these days.
The rest of the time I'm a pepsi girl (Hey Kissy, can I buy you a pepsi? ).

I don't drink often at all but if I drink anything it's gotta be either a magarita made with Jose Cuervo Gold and Triple Sec, a Mudslide or even a White Russian.
Red Stripe? Dang Grundy - if you ever go to Jamaica don't make the mistake of telling anyone about that. You'll never get rid of the pushers following you down the sidewalk. Posted by FranCisco Vargas (Member # 145) on :
Rene, I almost missed this post, but I usually drink Bud, but then there'a also another way we drink Bud, or even Coronas, with slice of lemon slipped into the bottle and a steamed shimp sticking out of the bottle, with a little hot sauce, you pull out the shrimp, take a bite, chew and have a good sip. But I only drink one beer..."one at a time"
Posted by Tony McDonald (Member # 1158) on :
I just quit working for a Budweiser Distributor after 23 years. I ran a route for about 12.
For me, it was a 30 mile drive to work, and with the law crackin' down.....my drinking with the boys before going home pretty much came to a halt.
When I first started there, we had "entertainment" money so we could buy rounds for the house..and we would usually have one too. Eventually they had to put an end to that because of the liability.
Had a couple days a week where my route was pretty much all bars, so you can imagine the shape the beer drivers were in by the time they went home.
I'll stay loyal to Bud.......unless it's a yummy bourbon and coke!

Good for you, David.
Part of the joys of travel is to "go native" as much as possible. I've never been able to comprehend the Americans that spend good money to go to Europe, then eat at McDonald's and drink Coke or Budweiser.
I've had some of the best times of my life going into restaurants or pubs in odd corners of obscure foreign cities, where the menus aren't printed in English and the locals don't see many Yanks. For one thing, you quickly find out how people feel about America. I remember a long and beery evening in a sidewalk cafe in a city in Siberia, in Russia, three time zones east of Moscow, where local beer cost ten cents a pint. I bought round after round for a group a dozen local twenty-somethings, only one of whom spoke a few words of English and translated all our conversation, and I was happy to be a "rich American" while the entire evening - including beer, dinner, snacks and vodka - cost about ten bucks. Or sitting in with a boron (an Irish drum) in a trad music session in a backroad pub in the west of Ireland, while the Guinness flows with the music and the laughter and the "craik". Or a bar in the Old Town of Prague last year, where I got into a conversation with a Czech journalist who bribed the barmaid (with drinks) to stay open til 4am (they are "officially" supposed to close at midnight, but the beat cop will ignore the violation for a pint of Urquell.) Its not about drinking, per se, but all about daring to be a part of the scene, rather than just be a tourist.

Depends on the event, I enjoy icy cold Becks with a hot pastrami served up wet, the kinda sammich ya gotta eat over the sink. For general all purpose beer guzzlin I like the pale ales, guess that makes me a hop-head. I like stouts but locally the bar people seem to keep them in the cooler, I prefer them more room temp and especially like them in the winter months. And as we used to say in Cleveland; "Rolling Rock n Rock n Roll!", Except now I'm in Denver and they're skunked right from the store. Weinhards Ale is another good one, finely suited for porch sitting and driveway activities.
Posted by David Wright (Member # 111) on :
Right Cam, the way to vacation and travel,at least be a fly on the wall and observe and absorb. Even in my native travels I always like to go off the beaten path, find the local favorite, and enjoy. The only time franchise establishments are any good is when I need something cheap and reliable after a couple of bad picks for dining. Doesn't hurt to know a few local guides to help out.
(BTW, just came in from buying a case of imported German Dark).

Jeez, Mark, after seeing your mug on here I need a beer! hahahaa I like Canadian beer, Labatt or Kokanee(SP?) and I also drink Coors Light and Rolling Rock and just tried Straub outta St. Mary's PA. I do not like Butt-Wiper, in fact, I tell the kid to buy it so that I don't drink his beer. For awhile he was on a Labatt roll and used to come home to an empty fridge. I also detest our local brew, Iron City. I do like Guinness, but only overseas....here it has yucky stuff floating in the bottom. Tried Tennant's once in Scotland and about fell over after 1.
