Here's where you can list your favourite brews of the moment. And if anyone says Bud Light, Coors or Molson 40, I will personally fly over to wherever you are and smack you on the back of the head. Or just insult you mercilessly right here.

Here's my list:

[list=1]
  • Guinness - the beer that eats like a meal!

  • Sleeman Honey Brown Lager - about 1 out of every 6 or so you drink is soooo smooth, it feels like you can just tilt your head back and pour it straight down

  • Boddington's

  • Grolsch

  • [/list=1]

    That's all I can think of right now...
    ... and that's all I have to say about that.

    I've only heard of guinness, bud, and corona out of all those favorites. That's kinda sad considering I'm a college student. :(

    I've never had beer but I'll be sure to post what I think of it here if I ever do for your alls entertainment. :)

    What about Sam Adams? I've been told that's the best American beer.

    isnt corona mexican?

    Bud is czech or something isnt it? At least the stuff we get I think... I cant remember if its an American beer pretending to be Czech or the other way round. I heard in America its the lowest beer, the one kids drink cos its cheap, which is what Stella is in England(so ive been told). American beer is generally ****, Miller is a perfect example. Ive been to gigs where going thirsty is preferrable to spending 5 euros a go on watered down Miller, Alcohol content 0%.

    My favorite? Either millstream brewery's (a GOOD american brewery) millstream wheat, hoegaarden, or millstreams schild brau.

    But I must be quite honest, that stuffs expensive. I'm poor.

    As an American, I would feel bad putting hoegaarden in a beer bong, so most nights I just drink budweiser or bud light.

    Killkenny
    Double Diamond
    Rickard's Red
    Waterloo Dark
    Brick Amber

    All on tap, of course. When I visit the US, I usually go without rather than settle for 2.3% near-beer. Here in Canada we say that stuff is like making out in a canoe - f***king near water, and often unsatisfying!

    Well, where I live, the choices are quite slim so I normally drink Bud Light or Budweiser. The best beer I've ever had was when I was in Germany at some Beer Hall party. A large glass was almost the size of a pitcher of beer here. It was so yummy! Probably the worste beer I've ever had was a Kalik Gold, it's a beer in the Bahamma's. 10% alcohol and rumored to have phormaldahide in it. 4 of those got me sick as a dog. besides that, Gueniss is a very fine sipping beer, but I'm not sure about having it in a can or bottle. I've only had it on tap in England. But like I mentioned earlier, I'm not in the best location to experience quality beer. :(

    I can't say a whole lot, since I'm supposed to be on it. Michelobe Ultra isn't too bad.

    Yeah, I'm very jealous of you Brits who can have an ice cold Guinness on tap. It's supposed to be much different than what we have here in Canada. The Canadian version has something like 200 calories a pint, and the UK version has something like 900.

    Also, some Guinness purists have told me that it tastes best from a pub less than 15 miles away, since any further and the beer will get shaken up by the drive and the flavour will change. That might sound stupid, but any wine connaiseur will freak out if you shake up a bottle of wine...
    ... and that's all I have to say about that.

    Bottled Bud at a push.

    Just say that most Austrailian beers really suck.
    ie. XXXX, eerrrgghh

    English made Carling has to be the worst beer ever.

    I didnt used to like Grolsh but its growing on me.

    Rolling Rock also sucks.

    N theres loads of mediocer beers that I cant be assed to get into.

    And as for Bud, there is 2 different makes, the 1 every1 knows thats American and a Czech one, its named after the place where its made. The Czech beer did actually sue the American, but I'm guessin they lost. Oh n the Czech beer was 1st.
