We drink Fourex and Cascade from tasmania is popular too.

WE drink loads of coronas too.

I've always known that Fosters was pretty much considered "piss be-ah," but did you know that Corona is the Mexican equivalent? Considered by most Mexicans to also be worthless piss-beer, only for export, where it's often considered to be a "premium beer?"

If I'm drinking a Mexican beer, it's gonna be Modelo Especial, or XX lager.

Never could understand the appeal of Corona...or any beer served in a clear bottle....or green bottle...

Never had it, but the reviews make it sound like a very weak beer, which I do not like.

And don't forget about Moretti and Red Stripe; they're in the same category.

Moretti is cheaper than water in Italy (I lived there for 6 weeks once), but it's marketed as an "import" here.

Some people think anything imported must be fantastic. I mean - it's imported, right?

I drank it when I was young simply because it was an import and that you could buy it in a large can. People in the area were I grew up called it the "oil can". I haven't touched the stuff in years as it's simply an average, mass-produced lager.

Sshh. Don't tell the ATOT beer novices that. They'll throw their empty Stella Artois bottles at you.

Red Stripe isn't all that bad.

Moretti is very bad as is Fosters and Stella Artois. Moretti and Fosters eclipse Budweiser for all around garbagy taste which is an extraordinary feat because Budweiser is a comsically bad beer. Moretti, however, has been the most unpleasant thing I've ever put in my mouth; I'd not be surprised to learn that dog shit is their main ingredient. The only thing remarkable about Stella is its ad campaign...which seem to be the norm for most beers these days. Fat Tire anyone? Pure dog shit.

Anything with a pseudo clever name and kitschy ad campaign is all the rage since this micro brew jack fuck got started 15 years ago.

Most of it is garbage.
