My tastes don't change just because I'm drinking in a different building. If it's crap at home, it's crap in a bar and a restaurant as well.

And to finish my statement, if I had to chose only one beer from one brewer for the rest of my life it would be Bell's Two-Hearted Ale.

Answer your question?

[Mastrap]

^ I like hoppy ales. That sounds just like my kind of beer. I almost always have a case of Sleeman's IPA in the house, which sounds very similar.

[design219]

Wow, I had no idea there would be so many responses. It looks like this is a subject close to many Mac user's hearts.

Thanks to all!

Been drinking a lot of that here in the UK. very good beer. I like regular kronenbourg too.

I do not drink beer often but when I do, it is Kilkenny or Stella Artois

Two-Hearted is VERY hoppy. From memory, I can' t think of a beer with more hoppy flavor or aroma.

[sek929]

I had a few tasting cups of this at last years Beerfest in Providence, it was pretty intense.

Good beer only at the bar. I haven't had a cheep beer since highschool (except the occasional PBR)

No, but you are in a minority.

Oberon! I loved drinking Bell's when I lived in Traverse City. Another great beer that is difficult to find where I live.

Macs + good beer = laid

[waxcrash]

Allagash makes some great beer. I recommend the Allagash Curieux which is aged in old Jim Beam barrels.

I guess my taste isn't quite refined yet. I'm 22 and I like to go out and get drunk without breaking the bank. I don't stop at the bodega and sip on two beers and go home. I guess that's largely why I like beers like Bud Light. When you're drinking 10-15 beers in a night you tend to go relatively cheap (without going bottom rung) with a beer that'll sit well with you all night. Drink 10-15 Guiness or any of these other ales or lagers and see how much you spend and see how you feel. Do it Fri. and Sat. night every weekend (though I do realize this is a terrible habit and hopefully I grow out of it soon).

Good beer.

I think.

Things are a bit hazy from that day.

I do remember a hangover like non-other the next day though.

i started out that way too. now i rarely drink alcohol, but the booze is better quality and usually more expensive.

I hope I transition towards that direction some day soon.

[sek929]

For all you Bostonians...

CBC (Cambridge Brewing Company) has a pretty tasty beer called 'Big Man Ale'

Great burgers too, check it out.

Yeah, that's always bugged me about Costco. They sell unpasteurized beer at room temperature there.

And only on Thursdays.

Cheers, man; I bought some Red Stripe here in Cincinnati while on business. The local convenience stores don't have any local brews! Do they know how to make beer here?! The Red Stripe is alright.

They used to. I once read that before prohibition, Cincinnati had more breweries within the city limits than existed in the entire USA in 2000.

[sdilley14]

Haha, big part of the reason why I hope I get over this pace in the next year or so. It'd either 10-15 beers or 5-10 beers and a few mixed drinks and some shots or some variation. Either way it isn't healthy lol.

If I lived in Cincinnati I'd wanna be drunk all the time too.

Guess my liver's long dead then. I drink this much almost every night of the week. :S

I'm beginning to concur.

Although I found a killer Japanese restaurant this evening. I was the only one there speaking English. Excellent food, with some Kirin Ichiban (just to stay on topic).

If I'm in that mode, or if I'm just in a bar that doesn't have a very good selection, then I usually fall back on Sam Adams. It's miles ahead of Budweiser or Miller, and it's usually fairly cheaply priced at happy hours.

[Lateralus]

I can't believe I'm the only one who has cited Leinenkugel.

You guys sucks.

Tru dat. My wife's family is from Cincinatti. But there is an bar/entertainment district that has been being developed the last few years that's pretty hip.

1664 is ok, but the regular Kro is pretty much the Bud/Miller of France.

[Jumbonium2007]

I drink beer because I like the taste.. I enjoy Killians Irish Red and Guiness Draught..

Now if im drinking to get drunk.. Its gonna be 3 dollar pitchers of busch

[brapper]

NESSSSSSSS
...Guinness....
Currently enjoy a post game a few prior to the bar. Wonderful loving lovely stuff.

Yep, I am. The first time I had Little Creatures was at some dodgy little hotel/pub in the Rocks... the Australian Hotel I think it was. That's the only place I've seen it on-tap, unfortunately... I usually have to go bottled from Dan Murphy's or something like that.

i need to get there for a tour this summer - i got hooked on Extra Pale Ale at Minnesota Twins games - if i am going pay $6 for a beer i'd rather it not be a Bud or Miller product.

leinie red is fantastic and i'm really starting to dig their sunset wheat. all the BW3s are carrying it on tap right now. awesome.

Do they leave out the hops in "malt liquor"? No, it has hops, water, malted barley, and yeast.

It is beer.

Well, I agree.

But my point was that many states DISAGREE. Malt liquor may be a type of beer but the alcohol content is higher and many states require it to be classified differently.

Which was the point of my second sentence.

So go take that attitude with them.

[Naplander]

If I am in a bitter (beer) mood, then I absolutely love Tribute (UK)

If I am in a lager mood, then it would have to be Asahi or Becks

If I am in a cider mood, Strongbow

Stout, Guinness

Sunset Wheat?!?! I've tried hundreds of beers, and that is the single worst I have ever experienced. It's the only beer I've had that I physically couldn't finish. It made me vomit barbed wire and spider webs. It's flavor is a deadly mix of girly flower shampoo and hippie jock itch. You must be one tough mother****er to handle that stuff! Ick...

Leinies Red is pretty good though (for a cheap beer)

Answer your question?

So we finally agree on something. It was bound to happen someday!

[Thorzdad]

For you lovers of big, smooth, malty beers...if you ever see Yebisu on the menu (probably at a Japanese restaurant or sushi bar), get it, drink it and send me monetary tributes. One of the best beers I've ever had. Damned hard to find, too.

Hug.

[natnabour]

a lot of people mentioned some of my favorites (stella artois, hef, & newcastle), but I also enjoy:

Almaza
Alaskan Amber
aaannndd...Hoegaarden.

[Cipher13]

I see a lot of people mentioning Hoegaarden. I tried it once and really wasn't impressed at all.

I'd have to agree with you, Sunset Wheat is pretty gross - i picked up a 6 pack of that new Summer Shandy beer last night - its a lemonade beer - i liked it - VERY easy to drink.

Yeah it's called Kronenbourg simply. 1664 is the "premium" version.
