Im currently in London where in Earls court the London Beer festival finishes tommorow. Now after chatting to some and realising that Coors lite, Fosters and the like arent blowing us away, what is your normal first choice when it comes to beer? I mean when I can afford the overpriced micro brewery stuff in Perth I get it but normally I settle for Carlsburg, Red Stripe (Jamaica's finest!) or Heineken.</p>

In terms of american beer I do enjoy the millers draft but am not so sold on budwieser. Any thoughts? I know we have some beer drinkers out there... Football fans.... Kidding but anyhow throw in your two cents!</p>
 
I've never had Red Stripe, but I want to try it, because the commercials are so silly.</p>

Especially this one.</p>

wow, kidchocolate, i didn't realize you were in beer commercials</p>
 
personally, for me, it's bud, old mil, or whatever can get me drunk.
 
you just wanna get drunk? man the 9% beers in the UK are serious... the carlsberg 'elephant' packs a punch too. </p>

Y'all got them in the states?</p>
 
Not much. If you wanna go cheap and get drunk fast, go with a 40 oz of like Steele Reserve or something. under 2 bucks for 40 oz of like 7%. </p>
 
Sam Adams, Cheery Wheat, Miller Lite, Labbatte Blue Light.
 
Sam Adams is good. If i'm feeling classy though, nothing beats coming home from a rugby game nursing an Olde English 800

The best are the 16 oz. cans of Malt Liquor. My roommates and I used to love gettin them 16 oz cans of Colt 45 & Olde E.</p>

</p>

I can barely even drink Olde E though, so syruppy. </p>
 
anyone who has been to england knows the joy of White lightning, hobo's choice!
 
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Kid Chocolate)</div><div class='quotemain'>Cherry Wheat is naaaaaaaaaaasty. I don't know how people enjoy it. Yuck.</div>I think it taste good, and thats all I care about.
 
wow I've never seen Olde English in anything other than a 40 oz. I bet it tastes nasty in a can.</p>

I actually really like Sam Adam's Cherry Wheat, tastes like candy. yum</p>

Nah, that's so 1990's. now gangstars rock Heinken and Guiness, at least in the teedaught. College kids and wanna be thugs drink 40's.</p>

</p>

Me? I drink Bud, Heiny, Blue, Tuborg, Carlsberg, MDG or Carling Ice if I want a little extra kick to it.</p>
 
Blue Moon is money. Up in New Hampshire kids love Magic Hat. Frankly I think it tastes like coffee. blaugh

Blue Moon is pretty good...have you had the honey flavor they have of it? I don't think it's as good as the regular one.</p>

</p>

And Magic Hat is pretty bad...there are some flavors I can drink, but most of them are just kind of not good. </p>

</div></p>

</p>

Yeah I have, its good stuff!</p>
 
I'm not a beer snob, but I've been fortunate enough to have been exposed to some really good beers, so my college days of drinking anything completely cheap are behind me. If I want something cheap, I usually get Miller High Life. Around here, Yuengling is pretty cheap and it's a pretty good beer for every day drinking. Going a little upscale, I don't mind Sam Adams at all, but I wouldn't go for the flavored stuff. Dominion Ale or St. George's (both might be hard to get outside Virginia?) are probably my current domestic favorites.</p>

I'm really lucky to have married a Belgian, so she's turned me on to all kinds of great beer. Delerium Tremens is one of those 9% ABV beers that'll kick your butt, but you can really get a Belgian beer for most any occasion. If you like something like Cherry Wheat, there are Belgian beers that do the same thing much better. For my money though, you can't go wrong with Duvel or Chimay. Only problem is it's pretty pricey here in the US. </p>

It's on the cheaper side, and better then a lot of the beers in that price range (or so I think).
 
I like Stella Artois.</p>

</p>

I HATE Yuengling, and everyone in PA drinks it.</p>

How can you hate Yuengling? You may very well be the first person banned from S2</p>
