Coors light. Just because I already have some. They didn't have what I wanted last time I went in, and I was in a hurry.

You'll graduate from training beer one of these days.

I dont get why people always have to do this. Beer is wonderful, why bag on a fellow beer drinker because they drink something less stout or expensive as you? I love all beer: light, cheep, expensive, dark, coors, shiner, guiness, microbrews, natty light, you name it. Cant we just get along as drinkers of gods' gift to man????

:D

Coors Light is not beer, so drinking it does not make one a beer drinker.

My friend always had Labatt Blue if that means anything.

I actually don't like most beers, so it's not surprising that I didn't like it.

I'm not sure who's worse: beer snobs or beer morons. Sure, those people who will only drink a beer if it costs $7/bottle and was lovingly handcrafted by 30 Tibetan virgins can be annoying. But so are the people who, when handed a beer that has actual taste, will turn it down because they only drink beers that taste like watered down piss.

Sure I'll drink Budweiser when I'm out bar hopping because it's the only thing they have at some hole in the wall joint. And I've been known to bring home a case of Mickey's (go go green grenade!) to pound down with friends. But if I have a choice between the average swill-ale and a micro-brew, you're damn right I'll take the good stuff.

My 21st is on Sunday so the better question in my case would be what am I NOT going to drink.

I am not saying that some beer is not better than others, I am just saying don't look down on someone for drinking a beverage designed to give humanity happiness. It seems anti-beer to me.

Tomorrow I'm going to be starting with a 22oz bomber of Yeti Imperial Stout. The rest of the weekend, I'm just not sure. Gonna have to stop at Binny's probably.

Whatever's cold!

But why? Have you even given some of the good brands (and I'm not talking entry level imports) a shot? Have you ever had any of the several Rogue flavors?

Listen, I'm a beer snob. But I can drink Keystone light just as much as the next guy. I just know it doesn't taste near as good. :)
Why - because to some people, a beer is really is a beer. I love all beer and can't afford to be choosy. Last night at the bar, I asked what was on special and had a few of those. I'm just not picky when it comes to beer. When I buy a case, I usually get Carling or something else cheap. If I am going to have company I'll get something better like Keith's or Moosehead :beer:

If you're ever near DC, we should probably have a couple of 40's.
Can I come too? 40s are awesome. Mickey's ftw!

The thing that makes me laugh most about the snobs are the ones that say a beer like Budweiser tastes like piss. Seriously? Piss? Human piss? lulz. I think someone tampered with your beer, buddy, and by tampered I mean pissed in it.

Budweiser isn't bad as mass produced American beer goes. But come on, Coors Light? I can't believe anybody would drink that.

I just got back from the gourmet store and picked up a Stone IPA, a DFH Midas Touch, a DFH 90 Minute IPA, a Duvel, a Racer 5 IPA, and a Hoegaarden. Nice little mix em up six pack.

And Bober - There's nothing better on a hot day than pounding an ice cold CL.
