My first beer of choice was Stroh's. I used to drink that stuff when I was in high school and college (read: underage). I switched to Coors Light after college. Currently, I drink Heineken most of the time. But, I am still known to be wounded by the Silver Bullet once in a while. I am currently working on a 30-pack of Coors Light cans that i picked up at the PX a few weeks ago, because they were out of Heineken. I will also drink Yuengling Lager if I am at a party/bar and it's what they have available.

My dad used to drink Genesee Cream Ale when I was a kid. I bought a case of it once to see what it was like. I kinda liked it.

We had a party last week with 3 16 gallon kegs of Killian's Irish Red. It seemed to go over fairly well;) We got the clear cups so everyone knew that they weren't drinking some crappy beer like Busch, Keystone, Natural Light, Icehouse, etc....

As far as my top three:

1. My friend's special brew, tastes like guiness, but more of a wheat taste. (only 40 cents a bottle, makes me jealous)

2. Killian's Irish Red

3. Amber Bock


One of my roomate's favorite beers.

1. Zima (total chick beer, tastes like diet sprite)
2. Rolling Rock (not a bad beer, but chick beer nevertheless)
3. Two Dogs (once again, total chick beer)


I would also like to take this time to rant about why the hell are there so many Lemon flavored beers out there? WTF? I don't know about you guys but when I want a beer, I want a beer, not lemonade.

By far the best beer that I have ever had is Icehouse! Bud Ice comes in a close second. I just can't stand those light beers. :disgust:

Hacker-Pschorr Original Oktoberfest is the best Octoberfest.
Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome is the best winter seasonal with Pete's Wicked Winterfest coming in a close second.
Honey Brown is the best cheap, "let's drink a lot" beer.
Red Hook IPA Pale Ale is the best pale ale.
Guinness draft is always a goody, bit Murphy's coming in a close second.
Beck's Dark always goes down smoothly, as well.
I'd have to go with Icehouse as the best Ice beer.

If you like beer and haven't tried the Hacker-Pshorr Oktoberfect, then get it. You will love the stuff.

Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale.
wife likes Cors light or (gulp) Old Milwakee light.
and when I go out Rickerd's Drafts
unfortunetely Rickerd's in a bottle is sad.

Toohey's 'New' & Hahn 'Ice' are my favorite summer beers

Toohey's 'Old' & Cooper's 'Sparkling Ale' are my favorite winter beers.

What's good about all these beers (Except for the Hahn) is that one can also buy them in 750ml (US 1.5 pints) longnecks, plus its also the cheapest way to buy them. Also the Cooper's even do a second fermintation in the bottle so its got a nice alcohol level of between 5.9 & 6.2% (I s'pose it depends on if its per volumne or per wieght).
