Keystone Light

You need 30 beers in one package but you only have $10. Also, for some reason you need to get drunk. There is a slight possibility that your taste buds were destroyed in some horrible accident during your days as a fire breather with a traveling freak show, enabling you to consume many Keystones without making a horrifed, disgusted face every time you swallow.

Bud Light

You want to drink one of the three major beer brands, yet luckily aren't burdened by any concerns of how beer tastes. Commercials have a hypnotic effect on you; additionally, you find Cedric the Entertainer to be very hilarious. There is also a large chance that you are from St. Louis or surrounding areas, and thus have a blind allegiance to all Anheuser-Busch products; an allegiance that is only enhanced by the Jumbo cups of beer served at Cardinals games.

Original Coors

You have never met me, because I don't know anyone who drinks this beer. I imagine, though, that you are some sort of mountain man with a scruffy beard who could use refreshment after spending weeks in the Rockies distancing himself from the trivialities of the modern world.

Coors Light

You hang out at country bars, wear wrangler jeans, Roper or Justin boots, a 10 gallon hat on a 3 gallon head, and have a belt buckle that doubles as a snack tray. You drive a Ford F-350 with huge mud tires and enough lift to drive over most mid-sized cars. The ironic part is that your truck has never been off of a paved road. You are what is commonly refered to as a "Drug store cowboy." The closest you have ever been to a cow was that Whopper you ate for lunch yesterday.

Corona Extra

You are married, live in the suburbs and are having friends over for a barbecue. There is also a chance that you really enjoy limes, but are having a difficult time working them into your diet. Small things amuse you and you enjoy watching the lime fizzle in the bottle after you stick your finger in and turn it upside down to achieve maximum limey pleasure.

Stag

Your stomach did something to make you angry and now you are returning the favor. You enjoy spending time on the toilet and will do it often for about three days if you drink a six pack of this beer-flavored laxative. Hunting is probably one of your hobbies and the red deer on the gold can is understandably difficult to pass up. Also, you may have lost a bet or are blind and could not tell which beer you were purchasing.

Guinness

You consider yourself something of a serious beer connoisseur. Undoubtedly you enjoy the occasional cup of coffee, as your choice of beer has a similar taste. When at a pub you like to partake in this brand because the foam on the top provides the opportunity for you to get a foam mustache and show your friends how funny you look. If you drink this beer regularly, you most likely claim some degree of Irish heritage. In all likelihood there was/is a "Guinness is Good For You" sign in your dorm/fraternity room/apartment.

Old Style (better known as Doggy Style)

You are at Wrigley Field watching the Cubs. There is no other excuse to drink this.

Michelob Ultra

You desire to be fit and attractive very much, but are unwilling to give up things—like beer drinking—that are necessary to achieve this goal. The word "carbs" was an important part of your vocabulary during the low carbs craze, but you are not really sure what the benefits of cutting carbs out of your diet might be. However, to be safe, you will drink a beer that claims to be low in carbs.


Schlitz Malt Liquor
You can't afford crack.

Generic Beer

You have no personality, money or taste. You need a case of beer but only have $1.99.

I wish you had posted this a day earlier. A couple of weeks ago, the Gallup Poll called me and asked a bunch of questions about my drinking habits. They asked if it would be OK to follow up with a more detailed survey by mail, so I said OK. Of course they included a $2 bill as a reward, so I'd do anything for that.

Yesterday I tried to fill out the survey, and $2 wasn't enough. Besides naming countless brands of beer and asking me what my impression of each was on a scale of one to ten, asking how much of each brand I had consumed in the last 30 days, asking whether I would drink each one at home or out, etc., they asked me to check boxes indicating what kind of people I thought drank each brand. There is no way I can remember all of the categories, but some of them were redneck, upwardly mobile, rowdy drunks, conformists, non-conformists, low lifes, and every damn thing you can think of to describe a person's character.

I'm afraid I just don't think I can tell very much about a person based on the brand of beer he drinks, so I had to leave those pages blank.

I hope they don't ask for their $2 back. If they do, I'll come back to your post and use it for a guide.

I know a guy, college professor, who is so obsessed with Bass that he claims he can tell when the keg is getting low by the color. This man will frequent no bar that doesn't serve Bass. In fact, I'm pretty sure Little Woodrows stocks this stuff on tap almost exclusively for him.

Also, am I the only person who finds the Sam Adams holiday beers to be nasty as all hell and a bit gay? People go raving apeshit about beer that has pumpkin flavor in it and whatnot? Gimme a break.

I wonder what this guy would say about Fat Tire. (other than it describes my general physique)

I laughed,
Thank you.

Theirs only one for me.

Snobbery about beer is just silly. Beer and bread are the same thing, just with different amounts of water.

Of course, I am disgustingly snobby about wine, which I found out recently was grape juice. :whistle:

I take offense to the Keystone comment!!!

Keystone is the best beer ever for the beer bong! Goes down smooth and doesnt make alot of foam after 4 cans are consumed in a matter of a few seconds.

my personal fav. has recently shifted from Bud Light to Yengling Light...

Theirs only one for me.

Geez, I never thought to take pictures of my beer, but why not? I've got pictures of all my dive gear, and beer is almost as important.


If I had to stick with just one, it would probably be this one. Its what we drink for a "cocktail" before dinner every night.

Of course drinking this beer doesn't make me better than everyone else. Its other things about me that do that. :)

Alright, I've heard enough about this stuff. Where can I get me a Steinlager?

Alright, I've heard enough about this stuff. Where can I get me a Steinlager?

New Zealand.

But of course I don't know about Houston. Surely some distributor there must carry it. Locally, my nearby Ralph's supermarket usually has it, but in order to avoid the sales tax and deposit, I get the Marine Corps Exchange branch at the north end of MCB Camp Pendleton to order it for me. I seldom go down there for any other purpose, so I look a bit strange balancing six cases of twelve 25.4 ounce bottles on one of their shopping carts with square wheels and trying to get out to the truck without it toppling over.

I get a lot of questions from people in line asking if I'm throwing a big party, but its just that I don't want to make more trips than necessary.

One stuffy looking wife gave me a derogatory comment one time. It was on a Friday, and I told her that it would probably last my wife and me all through the weekend.

Les Sage, a diver from Missouri, came out and dive with me last summer and spent a couple of nights with us. He decided he liked it, so when he went back, he found some distributor in St. Louis that could get it for him.

my personal fav. has recently shifted from Bud Light to Yengling Light...

Yengling Light - the Official Beer of Big Pig's Deathstick Workshop :smthumbup:

What about Shiner Bock?
I guess it is just a Texas thing.

don't believe him. ken is a huge corona fan:whistle:

So... Excluding the drunk in the background wearing the beer hat what sort of person am I if I drink this? If you have never tried it, it pours like a Guinness, has a fairly amber color, and drinks like a... a Heiniken(sp) dark.

Guess we can't forget this one. It tastes GREAT when you get it on tap in the Shannon Ireland IAP after a 10 hour flight out of Persian Gulf area.

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d41/gixxer01/beamish_red.jpg

As a matter of factly, here's the bar. I found a pic.

no one likes SPEIGHTS

I'm a Yengling fan myself. Regular, no light crap. I also like Pacifico. Bass is ok, I've never been a big import fan or German beer fan. I like my beer cold, almost frozen as a matter of fact. Slushy!

I brew my own. As far as I am concered, mine is the best!:toast:

25.4 ounce bottles

That's what I call a cocktail.

This is my favorite

I tried it because Lance Armstrong says he drinks it, and I wanted to be as fast as he is.

I wasn't all that hot for it, and it didn't work anyway.

That's what I call a cocktail.

We generally split one if we are moving on to wine with dinner. I try to get a big more than half the bottle in my glass, but my wife has a sharp eye.

I've always been glad that she isn't one of these women that sips white wine, so I guess I can't bitch.

If you want to be as fast as he is, you're going to have to be a eunuch like he is. Without the berries down south, theres nothing to get crushed and stop him from powering through the uphill stages.;)

Oh Yeah, Kinda nice having the brewery right up the street. Nothing like Fresh Yuengling!!

Bill,

can the base order Cascade from Australia? If I could get a six pack of this my wife would let me slip it in the pooper...Maybe...

Steven,

I haven't seen or heard of Cascade, but I guess I could ask.

We had it all over Australia and New Zealand but cant find any importers in the USA for it. Wife loves it, its ok to me. My favorite is Blue Moon, with Sweetwater Hummer a close second.

Ah...Steinlager. That is everyone's favorite around here. Of course I still wish we had Yuengling. Of all the American beers, it is one of the rare brews that tastes like a million bucks and only costs a few.

kolt have you noticed were your at on the island the local beer is what everyone drinks. and if your not drinking that beer your looked at funny. you could only find speights in the south of the south island.

Bodingtons is good Gixxer. My G/F is British so she introduced me to all the pub ales and such... I've had an Irish Cream Ale that was a lot like Bodingtons but a little darker that I also liked.

Guiness also isn't bad either, especially if you get the draught.

I wouldn't touch a Bud Light, Budweiser, Bud (beer) anything with a 10 foot pole.

Boddington's isn't what I'd call an everyday beer, at least for me. I'll get it on occasion and it's pretty good. It's a bit expensive and isn't sold in 12 packs anywhere I've seen.
Another good, albeit spendy, import - Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout. That stuff kicks ass.

Polar, Modelo light, & Pacifico as cold as you get get them and still get it to come out of the bottle!

I agree, unless its the original Budweiser from the Czech Republic. When I was at my daughter's house in Dusseldorf over Christmas, my son-in-law had some of that in the fridge for us, and it sure ain't like the American version.

But even better is the German beer that he always buys, Radeberger. Both my wife and I really like that a lot.

Even though Germany is so much smaller than the US, they still have local beers that are not nationally distributed, so its neat to see the variety as you travel. When they lived in Dresden for seven years, we used to love some of the beers there, but those brands aren't even sold in Dusseldorf. Its OK though, because they have good beers everywhere.

My favorite. Also the one that my pub recently stopped carrying on tap :(

The mentions of Guinness remind me our experiences during four self-supported bicycle tours of Ireland.

We might be pedaling up a steep hill in driving rain with 40 pounds of stuff in our panniers, and then look up to see a billboard that said "Guinness is Good For You" or "Guinness Gives You Strength."

We had two reactions to this.

The first was that they wouldn't be able to get away with a message like that in the states.

The second was that we might have a bit more strength if we had not consumed quite so my Guinness in a pub or restaurant the previous evening.

Is Bombay Gin a beer???

Drank 4 pitchers of Guinness last night and still beat Ritchie Zacker in pool.

kolt have you noticed were your at on the island the local beer is what everyone drinks. and if your not drinking that beer your looked at funny. you could only find speights in the south of the south island.

Somewhat - Tui is the local fav in Hawke's Bay, Steinlager is the high-end fav, and you can get Speights here too.

Not quite 4, Louis. I helped you drink the last 2. But you probably don't remember that...or that you went to the bathroom in the ladies room. :D:toast:

Here's my favorites. They're all about 9% alcohol.

That or douche for men:lol:

There's this ale called Smithwick's irish ale. I like it alot but have only found it in two places, the "irish pub" inside the New York, New York casino in vegas and a small english pub out here in Riverside called the Royal Falconer (which I was going to for the food until I found out they've got Smithwicks). It's really smooth and a little stronger in flavor than a Newcastle(also a good choice) but not as heavy as a Guiness(which I think tastes like soy sauce).
