Try beer. It's pretty good, especially compared to Budweiser.

[sawbones]

Guinness, Harp, Bass. You know, real beer.

[KidA]

Echoes the sentiments made by the majority in this thread.

Bud is good for only two things: a headache in the morning and beer farts.

Agreed "G"

Concur. No tears lost here. If I have the choice between a bud or a flavorful microbrew, there is no debate. People are looking at this from the perspective of "foreign companies are buying our heritage". I see the other side of the coin where there are a substantial amount of microbreweries who are innovative and brewing quality beers better and better every year all over the USA. They won't change the recipe for bud, and most people will forget about this in a year. All I know is that Bud is pushing the psyops piece hard here on the All Star game tonight...commerical after commercial.

[Hawkeye]

As long as Military folks can continue to get into Busch Theme Parks at no charge I'm fine with it.

"They're both fuckingclose to water."

Dirtpuppy,
Stop trying to use profanity in the thread titles. It is prohibited.

Bingo.
My German friends call it Budwasser.
I'm sure you Deutsch sprechende leute can get that.

When I'm being social at a bar, but don't really want to get drunk... then I'll have a budweiser.

[tnkspe119]

I guess I will have to go back to drinking Fat Tire or NewCastle...I will concede that there are alot of beers out there better than Bud Light, I hate Budweiser with a passion, porkchop in a can.

[Alex F]

Al Qaeda will have our Budweiser recipe, the fall of Western civilization is nigh.

[PocketKings]

No worries here. I drink Yuengling.

[SIG 229]

In college we called Bud "brick" because it sat in your stomach like a brick and you later shit a brick.

Glad I got myself a case of coors light with the "vent" opening last night...LOL

Real beer (not entire list ;) ):

Guinness! (nectar of God)
Harp
Newcastle
Blue Moon
Sam Adams
Hofbrau
Hoegaarden
Shock Top
Flying Fish
Bass
Otter Creek
Smithwick's
Young's
Warsteiner


Maybe the Belgians, the people who brought us the great white ale, will be able to actually start insisting that Busch start making beer and join the list...

[slondeau]

I know its not American.. but my beer of choice is usually Labatt Blue Light. I could never drink Bud at all. :S Bud Light I drank for a while, but somehow started drinking LBL all the time and that's all I buy now. I drank a lot of Labatt Blue maybe that's how it started?

[stratiotes]

Being here in the Northwest, I've been introduced to Pyramid and Alaskan Amber. I don't even look in the direction of macrobrews anymore.

[slondeau]

I've never tried a micro-brew.

*ducks*

...and in line with other great stouts, I would like to add Beamish to the list.

[sawbones]

Amen to Beamish. Four Peaks Brewery here in Tempe has several excellent beers. My fav is Kiltlifter, close second is their Wiessen. All seem exceptional, except there oatmeal stout.

[8Ball]

Newcastle....
Hell, it even says it right on the label. "The One And Only"

I admit to drinking Budlight when I am out working in the yard. It is my "water replacement" when its hot.:D

[Terminator2]

Never tried Beamish. How is compared to Guinness?

[Doctor_Doom]

You guys are nuts!!! The beer I drink is how I show my patriotism!!!! PBR forever!

:D

Seriously, this isn't all that new as consolidation in the beverage industry has been happening for a while, and even though I've never quite understood the business model of a global beverage giant, I'm pretty sure it won't change my drinking behavior at all.

[sawbones]

Beamish is everything Guinness is, without the bitter aftertaste. Good Shit !!

Sir, if you honestly claim to enjoy PBR, then there is no hope of changing your drinking habits.

Actually, it does bring up some questions regarding his judgement. ;)

Beamish is really better than Guinness. Just harder to find.

[guns]

Being here in the Northwest, I've been introduced to Pyramid and Alaskan Amber. I don't even look in the direction of macrobrews anymore.

The Alaska Brewing Company puts out some excellent beer. Their Winter Ale is one of the better beers I've had. I'd get it shipped out to me by the case if it wasn't so damn expensive.

That being said, nothing beats a Guinness.

LOL... joke sir, joke... pointing out the silliness of having Bud as a point of nationalistic pride when it comes to beer.

I knew it was a joke. That's why the ;) .

:D

[RickyRecon]

I drink good 'ol Guinness.

When they don't have Guinness... I drink good 'ol Shiner Bach or Shiner Black.

Brewed exclusively in Shiner, Tx.

I always thought Bud tasted like a French cow's piss.

How do you know what French cow's piss tastes like?

[NightLandNav]

I have an Irish-American friend...born in Sligo, lives here...motherfucker drinks PBR even when I'm buying the drinks.

I thought he was a KGB "sleeper" based on that alone. FBI says no, and to stop calling...

But PBR? ...something is afoul Watson. ;)

[NightLandNav]

How do you know what French cow's piss tastes like?

I told him.

:D

[RickyRecon]

NightLandNav told me.

He was very descriptive.

[NightLandNav]

Of course I was, I repeated it word for word just the way I heard it told to me.

...while I was in Flanders drinking Belgian cow piss.

:D

[Darksaga]

I cant belive this shit...WTF, what are we supposed to drink now???:eek:

Man up andd start drinking Guinness. :p

[GST]

I guess the best way to describe it is to say that it tastes like the ingredients were roasted a little longer, making it a little more rich and smooth than a Guinness. Excellent with a Delmonico steak!:D

Well, I know what I'm getting next time I'm at the packy. Thanks for suggestion!

[bobofthedesert]

Try ''König Ludwig Weissbier''. Tall brown bottle, yellow label. You won't regret it.

[Darksaga]

Levitation by Stone Brewery in San Diego is an excellent ale.

[Terminator2]

Tried Beamish tonight. Pretty good, kinda has a sweet coffee taste. A little weak for a stout IMHO, but a very good brew nonetheless. I'll have to try it on tap sometime. I'm still a Guinness man!

[meni0n]

Kilkenny cream ale is good as well.

[Virgil Tibbs]

Guinness, Harp, Bass. You know, real beer.

Enough said!!

[JohnG]

"All your BEERS are belong to us"

[KidA]

Bare Knuckle Stout is a decent imitation/likeness of Guinness as well.

[TPD1280]

With Guinness Draught being the standard against which all others are meaured, why bother with the imitators?

I'll have a Guinness...


or Schlitz (not the malt liquor bullshit, just plain old Schlitz) :D

[M.Pen]

Amen! Better than Guinness

Had that about a week ago with a Dutch friend...not bad at all. Beat the shit out of Heineken.

Anybody in New England should try Thomas Hooker Irish Red. Great microbrew!
