Miller Lite for me. And it has to be cold. VERY cold. Warm beer is awful.

It's Leinenkugel's HoneyWeis mixed with BerryWeis. In fact, at some restaurants it comes served in a pitcher that has a divider in the middle. Honey on one side and berry on the other. When you pour it into a glass it evenly mixes together.  |  IP: Logged Richard Hamilton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1341 From: Evansville, Indiana Registered: Jan 2000 posted 12-29-2004 09:12 PM                     Lately I have really enjoyed Yinpu. I believe it is a local beer in Changchun China. Another good one is TsingTao, but I need that one Ice cold. If I'm just drinking for quantity and not quality, then it is either Miller Lite, or Busch lite. In China though, I found places that I could buy 32 oz bottles of Yinpu for about 25 cents each, then I could turn in the empties for 12.5 cents each. In the bigger bars, they were about 2 and a half bucks each.

Mainly though I drink Rum, Long Island Iced Tea, Jager, Jose Cuervo, and of course classic Jack!! Not all at once though  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-29-2004 11:38 PM                     quote: Hugh McCullough Guinness Draught Newcastle Brown Boddingtons, and the beer I brew at home. I've said it before... Guinness is my logical equivalent to "Jacks or better for openers". If the place I'm at doesn't have Guinness or something at least as good I'm probably going to drink Coke. The only caveat to that is if I'm a stranger in a strange town. If you walk into a bar and ask for Budweiser, virtually nobody can fault you. When the beertender says, "What'll you have?", order a Bud unless you know they have Guinness, etc. Once you have established yourself as not being some kind of wierdo (in relateive terms ) you can upgrade your beer selection.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 12-30-2004 01:22 AM                     I'm not some thick necked guy named "Gunter," but I enjoy a really good dark beer. Guiness on tap is great. I'll drink their stout out of the bottle too and enjoy it. One of the Christmas gifts I received this year was a Guiness tee-shirt (from one of my best friends). Now, living near the Red River Valley in "Texhoma" I also put away a lot of Shiner Bock. Not nearly as good as Guiness, but not quite as expensive either. Other beers I like: Becks Dark (OK+) Heineken Dark (OK+) Tecate (OK+) Sapporo (OK+) Dos Equis Dark (OK+) Amber Bock (3.2 unfortunately) Fosters (big oil can --and OK+) The standard domestic beers (Bud, Coors, Miller, etc.) sold in Oklahoma are near-beer piss water. The whole stupid 3.2 thing only encourages more in the way of binge drinking. I mean, you have to drink a 12 pack just to get a buzz happening -and then you spend a shit load of time exercising your bladder! If you buy a foreign style beer (even Shiner Bock) at the liquor store, and with an "OK+" label you'll at least be getting something at normal strength.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

If the place I'm at doesn't have Guinness or something at least as good I'm probably going to drink Coke. Randy, I am deeply sorry that I have to be the one breaking the bad news to you: the Guinness you get here doesn't have anything in common with the one Hugh is talking about, except for the logo. Not that Guinness as such qualifies as real beer, but if Guinness, then at least the original. None of the beers served here that I have come across are the real thing. They are all watered down. Real beer is what they make in the Czech Republic and Bavaria and beers closely modeled on these according to the "Reinheitsgebot", the Beer Purity Law of 1516, the oldest food/consumer standard in the world still in use. The original Budweiser (Budvar), again has nothing to do with Budweiser here, original Pilseners etc. Then there is a whole range of white and black beers. The so-called "Hefeweizen" here are a joke too, poured continuously into the glass from the tap, oh shit! A real Hefe is poured slowly against the inside of the glass so that it doesn't foam too much, then you roll the bottle on the counter to collect the yeast and pour it on top of the foam. Any good beer from the tap takes 6-7 minutes to pout properly. If you haven't tried any of these, you don't know what beer actually is. And forget about all the "perceived value" crap where the beer has to fill the glass to the rim. This is what a real beer looks like: Or better even like this:  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 12-30-2004 04:41 AM                        Who the hell drinks beer out of a wine glass? How girlie. It is manly to drink beer out of a mug or a bottle, never a can, wine glass, or dixie cup.  |  IP: Logged Jeff Stricker Master Film Handler Posts: 481 From: Calumet, Mi USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 12-30-2004 06:15 AM                     Some favorites Labatts Blue Cinci Creme (Canadian - no longer brewed) Genesee Creme Ale Andeker (Pabst premium - no longer brewed)  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

A wine glass has a much wider and shallower vessel.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

Mike: I agree, though the domestic 'microbrewed' Hefes are more 'in the style of' (read: their own interpretation) of the real deal (which I had many of at a couple little places in Kaiserslautern and Bad Durkheim in 1994) quote: Or better even like this: Ah, yes!
