    Bell's Oberon is my favorite beer period... as far as other stuff that's good in the summer, the Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat and Summer Shandy ain't too fuckin' bad at all.

    Then again an ice cold Miller Lite usuallly does me just fine. Hell, in the summer... if the beer's cold, I'll drink it. I just tore through a case of Blatz a few weeks back.

    Yeah, everyone over here loves Bell's, they say it's the best shit around.

    Stella Artois are nice in the 500ml cans 5% ...no hangover on this stuff.

    I beg to differ.

    I hated Blue Moon, by the way.

    I saw a lot of folks on the first page listing Blue Moon.

    do you all really like blue moon better then Hoeggarden?

    to me Blue Moon is just a lesser version of the Hoe

    They are similar but still very different. i find Hoeggarden to be fruitier than Blue Moon.

    For those not aware, in Canada Blue Moon is sold under the name Rickards White.

    Hoegaarden has two new products. I think they both suck.

    Over the last few months I have become a HUGE Stella Artois fan. It is a great beer, I just wish it was a bit cheaper.
    Hey, you wouldn't hire a clown to fix a leak in the jon so why do you let these hooligans tear down the biz? YEEAAHHH. I don't care if he is Mr. Notorious BIG, can he croon?

    I'm digging Saranac Pomegranate Wheat lately. Plus, I have to support my local brewery who had a nasty fire a few weeks ago! It's not too sweet, not too fruity but just summery enough!

    was a big fan (still like it) of Blue Moon, but Hoeggarden is better I have to say. Just had some on Saturday

    Rogue Track Town Ale - Honey Orange Wheat

    So tasty and refreshing :)

    Is that a new one? I'm gonna have to pick up a few. Rogue is one of the best American brewerys.

    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    For those in my corner of the world, definitely get some Picaroon's Dooryard. Get Picaroon's anything really. Best beer on the planet.

    Natural Light is a great drinking beer. Pour it out of a glass bottle into a Pilsner glass, and it has a better taste than the rest of those "low-end" beers.

    However it is my opinion that Natty Light should cost $20 for a six pack. It's a travesty that it is low-end.

    My favorite beer is probably Harp or Blue Moon. I love those. I've never had Hoegardden (sp?) but I definitely want to try. I've been drinking higher-end beer lately and I bought a sixer of Natty last week to balance myself back out. I started to feel dirty until I cleansed myself with the elixer from Anheuser-Busch.

    And, FWIW, I make a decent living and I drink Natty because I like it. Screw all the posers who start to make a little money after college and then start looking down at the Glorious Natty. I'm about keeping it real, keeping it Natural.

    Newcastle Brown Ale is the best beer in the world all year round.

    St Thomas Virgin Island Pale Ale is really good, but you can't have too many as it's quite fruity.

    That's exactly how I feel about PBR. By far my favorite of the "swill"

    I also will make the statement that all beers that come out of a can taste pretty much the same.

    All except this. Pick you up a 6'er if they're available your way. Just dynamite.

    It's called Dale's Pale Ale.
