I don't really clearly remember. Maybe something about labelling it as "from Japan" but not clarifying "the recipe is from Japan but it's brewed in the USA'" or something similarly stupid and nitpicky.

Did they call it beer while using corn and rice?

 

[Salad Dodger]

Firstly, if it's not on tap my preference is bottled to cans. My go to is Stella, though I will have a Guiness on occasion. I'll drink whatever Sam Adams is on offer and I'm quite partial to a Shock Top with the optional orange wedge.

Stella is over priced shit...

If you can suggest a cheaper alternative that's the same type (I know fuck all about the categories of beer), I will try it.

The same typ isnt so easy. its at the crossroad between northern and southern pils. try Becks or Grolsch for the more northern route or Krombacher for the more southern route

Thanks for the recommendations. I'm going to try those out and see how I go.

You're better off doing a Bear Grylls if I'm honest.

Grolsch is good. Didn't know they had that overseas.

 

[A Grey Cat]

After a long weekend nothing beats six bottles of miller genuine draft and another six of high life

Any time I've been in the mood for High Life there's been a decent beer on sale and cheaper per bottle, so I never end up getting it.

Eh I've never been a picky drinker hell I've bout colt 45 and country club just because I'm tanked by the time I'm at bottom of a bottle.

 

[Rei is shit]

I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on a home brewing kit. The Mr. Beer one seems to have good reviews and is a pretty basic starter. Is there any reason I'm making a mistake?

 

[Ex Cummunicated Sasser HD]

Even though I don’t drink anymore (ex alcoholic) my two favorite beers used to be RCH Pitchfork and Admam’s Broadside. Both excellent beers.

 

[CWCchange]

I tried PBR Extra last week, and it ain't too bad at all.

 

[Watermelanin]

My favorite is Sierra Nevada torpedo: Tastes great and it can actually get you drunk.

That shit's expensive, though. So my goto is Hurricane which isn't technically beer. It's nigger beer (malt liquor) but damn does a few of those do the job.

 

[TFT-A9]

Two new beers for me.
Oliphant Super Squishy

Pretty damned good. Not too in-your-face with the sour, really pleasant.

Oliphant Smoked Wheat Erryday

Was surprised at just how much I liked this. It's actually a tiny bit spicy.

 

[Return of the Freaker]

My three favorite beers:

 

[Maskull]

Over this past year my favorite go-to summer brew has become Founder's Centennial. It's a simple beer perfect for cooling off with on a hot day.
