Stella Artois
Grolsch
Pilsner Urquell

I'm mainly an ale drinker but those are good lagers...
If you've listed Guinness then you kinda hafta list Harp.

Amstel Light goes down pretty easy like Coronas as well...

Now enough with the friggin mass-produced big brew beers...
my current fav is Magic Hat's No.9 if you can find a place that carries it.
Fresh Anchor Steam is pretty good as well.

OP: If you can get your hands on some Shiner Bock, that's great too. When I lived in TX it's all I drank.

Seconded. Sweet sweet alcoholic nectar of the gods.

You live in Seattle & you never thought of coming up to Canada when your 19? :Q

Of course I went to Canada when I was 19, I just drank a lot of hard liquor.

Beefeater, Bombay Saphire, Absolut, Finlandia, Stolichnaya.

Or I could send you some of my grandpa's homemade rakia. Goes down remarkably well for a 55-60% drink.

Yep. It's grand!
 
Bridgen: Excellent choices. I like the slightly bitter lagers/pilsners as well. You should try Veltins sometime. You'll really like it.

I also like Okanagan Spring's beers... the 1516 and Pale Ale are excellent, and Granville Island breweries make very good beers as well. They have an interesting heavy winter ale that actually has some chocolate flavour to it.

Bud Light is the piss of the devil watered down to 1/16th strength and then put into soiled sample bottles from a urologist's lab. It's the beer for people who don't like beer but want to say that they drink it. God that stuff sucks. Ever wonder why the last beer to be taken at a party is a Bud Light? Cause it sucks. Yeah, that's right. It SUCKS.

Imports > all
Don't drink domestic unless someone else is buying.

But why beer? Take a few sips of the hard stuff or some mixers. An umbrella in your drink doesn't necessarily mean you're a h0|\/|0 😀
 
happy bday orsorum! :beer: sober yet?? 😀

edit: booooo, edited your post... gimme that beer back! 😛

Give Newcastle Brown or Boulevard Wheat w/ a slice of lemon in it a try.

Lol, why don't we just start the kid on Zima then?

What the heck is wrong with Boulevard Wheat!! It is one of my favorite beers and is in no way a "Zima" drink.
 
21? lol,It's birthday spanking time! 😀

I like Corona light with a slice of lime.


hAPPY BIRTHDAY DUDE🙂

Btw,Budweiser=horrid gas
 
Hmmm....gas station down the road from me has 2 24oz Steel Reserve's on sale for $2.50. 😀

That's a lot of booze for dirt cheap!
 
About anything from New Belgium Brewing Co. Primarily Fat Tire, but they are all yummy. I also like Kirin Ichiban and love the Guinness.
