With the exception of a few special cases such like Sam Adams, micro brews, etc., and knock off's like 'Shock Top' (Oberon) the big name American beers suck.

I work in a bar; the difference in taste between domestics like Miller Lite, Mich-Lite, Bud-Lite, Coors-lite etc. is practically nothing. Crap all tastes the same....watered down with no character. They are mass produced and marketed to un-educated blue collar morons who drive pick-up trucks and complain they can't find unionized factory work for $20 an hour.

I refuse to drink bad beer.


Exactly. So dont drink macro beer piss water? The macro beers from other countries arent great either. I can find far better German beer than Becks, and far better Canadian beer than Molson or Moosehead.


That is like saying "American music sucks" because you listened to a pop station for 30 minutes.

I love beer. Miller Lite and Coors Light are in my fridge right now.

This post makes no sense. If you love beer, why aren't you drinking it?

Beer is revolting. What is funny is pretty much everyone who tries it for the first time thinks this. What I don't get is why you people are dumb enough to keep drinking it to develop a taste?

I have been known to drink some Lindeman's lambics though, but mostly I drink wine or mixed drinks.
 
i still can't drink beer and call it refreshing

a cold glass of OJ or something does better for me

fish and chips with cold glass of OJ/water/iced tea... not beer
 
So I'm not a man because I prefer hard liquor to beer? F*** you eh!


Gimme some captain/patron/jager/crown/whatever and I'm set
 
The Chinese scholars gave me a legendary, kung fu-like name. Iron stomach. I drink to destroy my kidney. Fuck yo beer ni***. (that was a rick james skit from chapelle show reference btw, for the slow retarded folks out there)

You can take your beer and shove it up yo ass. I don't drink anything less than 200 proof. if its illegal, its for me. that's my mutha fucking saying. I'm like a fucking dragon. with all the liquor in my brand new evolved bladder, i can spit hot fire. who want some? when I talk, the sprinklers come on. when I fart, dozens of fire fighters from different counties come to me. rum or bust, playboy. don't mess with me. I buy my wife beer. beer to me, is unacceptable. one time, me and my bitch(wife) was about 2000 miles away from home, on vacation, and we ran outta gas. I pissed in the gas tank and we were good to go. this is how hardcore I am. when I post, I have to include a flammable warning.

<WARNING> FLAMMABLE





 
I used to strictly drink Steel Reserve or Schlits Bull Ice 40s all the time. Last year, over the entire month of November, I drank something like 24 40s in addition to other assorted 12 and 16oz cans at parties and what not. I kept track of how much I drank, and it ended up being about 9 gallons of beer over the entire month.

Had to kind of lay off the high gravity stuff, as its high calorie content was starting to catch up with me in the form of a beer belly. Lately I mostly just drink Budweiser and Coors Light. Coors Light is what I drank when I started drinking, so, after months and months of high gravity malt liquor, I find no shame in drinking Coors Light again.

I often ponder the same question. I've known so many straight edge kids over the years that think they're all tough and strong, but refuse to drink a drop of beer. Fast forward a few years, now all they do is drink.

Drinking beer doesn't make you a man, but it certainly doesn't hurt.

Of course not. :roll:

That would be how many assault weapons you own!

Or how many people you have shot with such weapons.

I dont drink beer, and have done more manly things than most ever will.
 
Sure you can. It probably takes more effort to refuse a beer, then to drink one, so if you are able to handle refusing to drink one, that's being manly and being able to stick to a commitment. This is especially true for somebody who is trying to quit. This goes for smoking as well.
