    Bump for this - I'm not a Budweiser or Bud Light drinker, but I was strapped for cash to pay for what I wanted so I decided to try out the new Bud Light Golden Wheat....it's really not too bad...not my first choice, but for a cheaper selection...this will suffice.

    Cheers to you all, fucking work tomorrow. :roll:

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Southampton Doulbe White is outstanding, had it for the first time time this weekend. Highly recommended.

    Has anybody had Moose Drool? A friend of mine said some good things about it the other day. I think I'm going to pick some of this up at my next stop to the liquor store.

  • I'm a homebrewer too. It's fun!

    Someone had asked about Hoegaarten (sp) alternatives. Try Allagash White!

    Last night had the River Horse winter seasonal - it was awesome! Not spiced with nutmeg or anything like that either.

    I stocked up on porters/stouts - winners: Southern Tier Dark Porter, Butternuts Moo Thunder Stout, Anchor Porter (as always).

    Anyone try Victory Storm King Stout. Honestly, it's not my favorite. Not very nuanced to me - just really strong.

    I want to homebrew so badly, but I don't have a dishwasher, and frankly I don't want to manually sanitize...I just don't have that much free time. :(

    I don't use my dishwasher in homebrewing. Sanitizing the bottles is kind of a pain. Otherwise, it's all pretty easy. Just need a good shop to get you started. And it helps to have a really big boiling pot.

    Really? I've been misguided then, everything I've read has said that without a dishwasher, sanitizing is kind of a pain in the ass and a very timely process.

    LONG TRAIL

    I'm a big fan of Long Trail's beers too. I had one called, I think, Double Bag. Tasted nice and a funny label of a well-endowed cow!

    Ok, I don't want to be that guy, but Corona? $25 a case for a beer with such little flavor it needs a lime? Really? What does this beer have going for it besides a slick marketing campaign?

    As far as cheap, macro-produced beers go, my fav (the only one I really like actually) is Miller High Life. Maybe you feel the same about that as I do about Corona, but at least it sells at an appropriate price range.

    Well I was going to agree with you about the corona, it was a novelty in 1988, but I cant see how anyone drinks that stuff by choice

    Then you had to go and mention miller.
    Life is too short to drink cheap beer.

    I was going to agree on the Corona too. I've always felt it has such a weak flavor for how much they promote themselves. Plus, it's overpriced.

    Although I have heard that Mexican Corona's are much better. However, I cannot say I know from experience.

  • You're right. It's not worth it to drink cheap beer. I really just mean, in the absence of good alternatives, High Life is the best one IMO. Don't worry. I'm drinking St Bernardus Tripel right now. :)

    hahaha nice!

    I just cant seem to spend my money on anything other than a sierra beer. Ive tried so many others, and I just keep coming back. Although I do enjoy guiness and boddingtons pub cans as a change of pace from the IPA.

    I'm having a month off drinking....I've just completed week 3....but fuck I'd love a handful of beers followed by a few red wines.

    Today is a public holiday for Australia Day and do you know how un-Australian it is to not drink on Australia Day? And I don't even have any weed!! :shock: It's wrong....W-R-O-N-G! :|

    Feel good though! :D

    I don't know if its one of those myths or not, but i think they use a lime wedge to both sanitize the bottle neck and most importantly it keeps the flies out of your bottle... don't think it's a taste thing although mexican cooking uses a fucktruck of lime right enough... so it might just be that it started off as a taste thing.

    regardless... i quite like Corona.. it's my favourite mass produced lager i suppose.
