Here's a new one for a hot summer day: What is your favorite beer preferences(s)? I personally love anything Leinenkugel. How about yours?
 
MGD,the other MGD, Miller lite, Keystone light, Hamms, Rolling Rock. All need to be taken out of an ice bath cooler and drank within 5 minutes.
 
I'll agree on the Leinies. My current favorite is Sunset Wheat followed by Blue Moon, which is made by Coors. They are quite similar.

I read somewhere that Blue Moon is the number one beer seller in Grocery Stores.
 
The ONLY thing from Mexico I like is Corona beer. Domestic, make it Amber Bock...a delightfully bitter dark beer.......served cold!

The best ROOT beer I ever drank was Frosty, and that, was a long time ago.

Any Beer that has taste. I avoid the "Lite" beers and Coors.

But for the ice bath, I add rock salt to the water/ice mixture. Makes it even colder.

Be careful so they don't freeze.
 
A picture is worth a thousand words. Also 10-4 on the beer shared with bad girls. Couldn't have said it better myself.
 
NONE for me! How can you stand the taste of that nasty stuff?! I'll take a nice, tall glass of sweet iced tea or lemonade.
Good Luck and God Bless.
 
US beer.

Usta drink Miller,'til they sold out to foreigners,then Bud,'til they recently sold out to Belgium co.

Been buying Grain Belt Premium. Made in New Ulm Mn not far from me.MMMMMMMMMM........good stuff!
 
Pabst Blue Ribbon was the best, but can't find it around here anymore:( Still, several taverns in this area have the big PBR signs above the doorways; wonder how much those signs are worth?
 
I travel a bit on business, and my favorite beer is whatever local microbrew I can find. At home I generally get one of the Red Hook ales or Corona.
 
Hamms.

Was really surprised because I bought it while doing some feild work and thought a couple cheap beers sounds good. Found I like it a lot better than other "domestics", or are Bud and MGD imports now?
 
After having drunk enough of the stuff over the years to float the proverbial battleship, about 20 years ago, I discovered I really don't like beer anymore.

My wife frequently has one Coors Light with a meal.
 
I haven't had a drop in my life, but I plan on having some one day... that is... if someone wants to buy me a drink!!
 
For plain ol' re-hydration on a hot day, plain ol' Busch Lite (I started drinking lite just for the lowered calorie intake, but got "used" to it, now like it better than regular). My German cousin visited from "the old country" last summer, and referred to it as "vasa bier" (water beer). When I'm with the swells, most any breed of Hefeweisen fills the bill.
 
Heileman's Special Export ought to be mentioned as one of the better beers, also. Had just the right amount of saltiness. Can't find that beer anymore either.
All things in moderation.
 
Buddy handed me one last night, first one ever that didn't give me a whiskey face. I don't remember the name, but it was a wheat beer. something like a road. boulevard maybe?
 
If I have my choice after a days work I would take hornsbys hard cider amber draft over beer but for beer i like coors light.
 
I haven"t had a beer in over 20 yrs, but of the commercial beers, the only one I came close to liking was Michelob dry. The only beer I ever really liked was home brew made by a friend. That was good stuff.

I do have a glass of wine occasionally.
 
Are you speaking of American, European, or Asian beers? I've traveled around some over the past 23 years and have "sampled" beers from a few different countries. My mainstay over the past five or six years is Miller Lite. When in Europe, I enjoyed the viesen (sp) beers made from wheat a lot. Preferred the Amstel over the Hienecken in Holland, Enjoyed the Bitburg and Kirner Pils the most in Germany. And in England, I had some experience with the McKewan's, Carlsberg (Danish) beer, and many of the local area brews sold in the Pubs there. In Korea, the local favorites were the OB and the Hite, which I'll be having to get used to again in about four months when I return there. When I was in Spain, the favorites where the San Miguel, and in Turkey the Tuborg and Efes. Lately, the beer that I've been enjoying the most is the A&W brand Root Beer.

I tried a bottle of that Grain Belt at a bar the other night. Wasn't too bad...think I could get my paws on some way up here?
 
Good old Grain Belt. Gonna have two kegs of it at my wedding dance Saturday night:)


check it out-- WWW.grainbelt.com
 
Bernick's out of Bemidji distributes Schell's / Grain Belt. You should be able to find it up there somewhere.
 
Either Jax

Michelob, but only because it makes me smarter by killing off the weak brain cells, also makes the gf proud of me; at least she always says "you make me SO proud to know you."
 
I like a Miller Lite so cold it hurts to swallow it..Can't beat a cold brewski on a 90 plus degree day....
 
I try a lot of different beers, both import and domestic, but the one I keep coming back to lately is Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.
 
The best I have ever had was a German beer and I know I am going to butcher the name of it but will try, Shnider Wise, or something like that. It is a real dark beer, but is very smooth. A fish bowl of that stuff will not give me a head ache and make me feel like a just ate a loaf of bread like most dark beers. There is a place in Evansville IN that has it on tap.

For every day beer I will drink Bud light. The older I get the less beer I drink and the more I like Bourbon. I keep a bottle of good bourbon around. Mostly Makers, Bullet, Kick'n Chick'n(101), and my favorite when I can find it Elijah Craig.

Any cheap bourbon out of the freezer mixed with red gatoraid makes a bad day better.

Back when I could still drink beer without digestive problems, my beer of choice was Pabst Blue Ribbon. As the stomach problems worsened, got to where about all I could handle was Miller Genuine Draft. Nowadays, if I average 6 beers a year, you can bet 3 of 'em went into the beer bread I make at Christmastime.

Also used to enjoy non-alcoholic Faygo Brau ginger beer...don't know if it's even available anymore, but it had a really crisp ginger bite and was best when served at between 34 and 38 degrees.
 
oh a good milwaukees best, grain belt, or new one my brother that works at shells brewery in New ULM brought over Lake Maid good stuff special release

Hadn't seen it mentioned yet: ice cold Natural Light, I suspect horse p*ss must taste better, but it's good (six at a time) when it's hot. It's pretty popular here in the South
 
I like Michelob Ultra in the bottle and Bud Ice. Newspaper stories on sale of our beloved Anheuser Busch say Bud Light is the world's best selling beer.
 
in the small town i grew up in everybody drank the same PBR so when somebody said wanna beer you knew what you were getting have not had a drop for past 18 yrs. kind of long story but i will never have another drink of anything again
 
consume Busch here.....free. doesnt matter what kind...
prefer it cool...not ice cold..say 50 degrees...people think im funny drinking warm beer....
On different occasions will get german and belgian beers ..also like copper beers and corona...

make my own wine and cider....mmmmm goes quick...
 
When my 3 boys and I go up to Lake Andrusia (about 25 miles from Bemidji and connects with Cass Lake) we stop at Eau Claire and pick up about 4 cases of Leinie and when that gives out we either get more Leinie or pack in a couple of cases of Schmidt's. Either way, fish or not we have a hell of a time. Also, don't know if any of you older guys remember it or not, but my dad loved Champagne Velvet or CV as he called it. I don't think he ever met a beer he didn't like but that was his favorite, then his second choice was Old Crown ale. We found two caps in his pocket when we lost him at home. As sad as I was I had to smile knowing that at least Dad had popped a couple of cold ones for breakfast that morning. He was an engineer on the C&EI railroad, running between Chicago and Evansville, Indiana. He wouldn't touch a drop on days he worked but definitely kept in shape on his days off. He was an old German who never forgot his roots and simply loved his beer. The other popular beers in Indiana and other midwestern states were Black Label, Blatz, Sterling, Falls City, Hudepohl, and Hamm's.
 
Ice cold brand really does not matter since your going to sweat it right out in hot weather working
 
Mostly I just buy anything new. Never heard of the brand I am trying out tonight. Real dark bottle with "open other end" on the bottom ... Polish maybe???

Point Special. Bottled in Steven's Point, WI. The only bear you can still buy in returnable bottles. $15/case and that includes the $1.20 deposit on the bottles :)
 
Just thought I'd give a summary of the responses about beer. Since I started this discussion yesterday there have been 65 responses at this point. One of the things I was interested in is the names of the regional beers too. Have a great summer and take time to have a cold one whether it's just good old ice cold water or water flavored with hops, barley, rye, corn, lemon, roots, tea leaves or something else. It's a great time to be alive in the country (or wherever you might be).

As long as it's brewed to the German Bavarian standards with just grain, yeast, water and time, no chemicals or additives. It's just fine if well chilled.
I'm in Frankenmuth Michigan right now and on my way to a brewery tour.
 
James Howell- I saw Falstaff in an HEB just a few weeks ago. I didn"t know you could still get it either. I don"t think you can get Jax anymore.
I have been a die hard Lone Star drinker for 45+ years with the exception of the four years I was in the service and couldn"t get it. I will say it isn"t the same since they closed the brewery in San Antonio.
 
I was hoping that someone would remember Jax beer.

I knew that the Jackson Brewing Company in New Orleans was closed many years ago.

Was not to sure about Fallstaff.

When I was a kid watching baseball on black and white TV, Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reese would do the play-by-play of the game.

Dizzy Dean was the spokesperson for the live Fallstaff beer commercials during the game.

<a href="http://s200.photobucket.com/albums/aa5/jameslloydhowell/?action=view¤t=dizzys_stetson.jpg" target="_blank">

He would sit and drink a bottle of Falstaff beer for the commercial between innings.

As you can imagine, about half way through the game Dizzy Dean really was becomming dizzy.

One day during a game, Pee Wee noticed a man and woman kissing each other quiet frequently.

<a href="http://s200.photobucket.com/albums/aa5/jameslloydhowell/?action=view¤t=pee_wee_reese.jpg" target="_blank">

</a>

He mentioned it to Dizzy, who after performing one too many Falstff commercials, asked Pee Wee why they were kissing so often.

Pee Wee replied 'It looks like he is kissing her on the strikes and she is kissing him on the balls'.

Needless to say that Dizzy Dean started laughing and could not compose himself for the rest of the game.

Some things a kid doesn't understand but will never forget.
 
Stag. Guy told me one time it stands for "steak, taters, and gravy". My uncle got me started liking it when I was just a kid. If I can"t find that, I like most anything brewed by Miller, or whatever you bring by.

Well if it wasn't for the cold Kokanee's waiting at the end of the day, I don't think we would have finished building the house 4 years ago.....I've had a lot of beers but this one is the ultimate after a hot days work! Too bad most of you will never get the pleasure, as they are a small micro-brew out of BC Canada.
