Yeah, the popular American beers are the worst. The oonly American beers I drink are more of regional beer like Shiner or Abita.
Otherwise, I am drinking beer from the UK, Mexico, Holland, or Belgium.
I like my Bud. Red, White and Blue!
Sam Adams. Always a good decision!![]()
Anyone remember Red, White and Blue beer? That stuff was nasty! But at $5.99 a case it was great for a bunch of 17 year olds looking to catch a buzz.
Point being........those Miller Lite commercials are just about the most stupid thing to come along in a while! Can you lose taste from a foosball table?![]()
Budweiser is one of the best domestic brews... nice taste. the lights of all domestics pretty much suck..
Really.... they need to fire that advertising firm... at least they got rid of the stupid Ref commercials....
I don't typically enjoy light beers, but Shiner Light actually has flavor. Otherwise I prefer Guinness, Young's Oatmeal Stout, Young's Chocolate Stout, or Dos Equis. The big brewers in America have convinced most beer drinkers that beer actually doesn't have much flavor. That's why Miller Lite, Coors Light, Bud Light, and the rest of that ilk sell so well here.
Ironically, more Budweiser is consumed in Ireland than Guinness and more Guinness is consumed in Texas than Ireland. Go figure.
beer blows
i drink beer for the alcohol, not for taste...so bud and coors original are good for me...go down like water and i like water....
How to fight beer taste loss?
Lone Star has LOTS of taste...
of course...I didn't say it had lots of GOOD taste...![]()
interesting statistic, but do you have any links to back it up.. i can see how we drink more guiness... ireland is a small country.. as far as the more bud though that is the one i see as maybe not being true... it could be though.. bud is just about everywhere in the world except the czech republic..
Actually Budweiser beer in Europe is the original budweiser from the Czech brewery. I remember there was a law suit which was settled so that budweiser will sell under the name Bud in Europe (outside US?).
As for light beers, Amstel Light rules!
I cannot stand regualr Sam Adams, but the light version is pretty damn tasty.
Amstel light isn't bad, and neither is shiner light. But I prefer dark beers. Bring on Pete's Wicked Ale, Newcastle, Shiner, and the like for me. But I also like Dos XX and Shiner Blonde.
I don't think I've ever tried a Shiner brew I didn't like, but their Winter Brew is incredible.
Micro-brews rule!
The only dark I like is Dos XX.
Tsingtao is also good. My favorite is Bohemia.
I stick with good ol' Corona, especially with some good enchiladas![]()
How Do You Fight Taste Loss?
i add a little whip cream to her sweetspot, oooyyysh.
I've got a friend that runs an Irish pub here in Austin. The Guinness distributor here in town told him the stat on Budweiser in Ireland and Guinness in Texas. I found it a bit interesting as well. I think Guinness does well in college towns and Texas has few of them.
My wife and I visit the Spoetzle Brewery (Shiner) about two or three times a year. An interesting fact about Shiner Blonde: it is the exact same recipe of the original Shiner beer or Shiner Premimum. When I was kid only old folks drank Shiner Premimum and the cool kids drank Bock. Shiner changed the name to Blonde and marketed it a younger audience and now it sells really well. I didn't used to like it when it was Premimum, but somehow amazingly I liked the Blonde. It's interesting what a new label, name, and maketing plan will do for your taste buds.
Another reason to drink Shiner is it is the last independently owned brewery in Texas. I love to root for the underdogs.
Amen on the underdog thing. It's nice to support local business.
When I lived in Chicago about seven years ago, I would load up six to seven cases of Shiner in my hatchback every time I came home for my fellow misplaced Texan buddies. I was always terrified of getting pulled over in Missouri by some townie cop that thought I was bootlegging.
