Guinness. I try others for a little change every once in a while,but never find beer I like. Any suggestions on really good dark beers?

Miller Light.   If im broke then a couple 40s of Steel Reserve.

Is it true that in the US everyone drinks light beer mostly?

 

My fav Aussie brews would have to be:

 

Tooheys Extra Dry

James Boags

Blue Tounge

Crown Larger

Pure Blonde

Coopers Pale Ale

James Squire Amber Ale

No it is not true....  I just happen to like the taste of miller light.  Im openminded.  if the beer taste good, then show me so I can enjoy it...   from what ive been told, german beer is assloads stronger than american beer.

steel reserve is 8.1%

Normally:

Yuengling Lager

in the fall:

Spaten Oktoberfest

I've got a few of my own that I like:

       Rickards Red
       Rickards Pale
       Rickards White
       Heiniken
       Strongbow --> I always get flak for drinking it, its a good dry cider, goes down real smooth
       Coors the old time
       Lakeport--> If I'm broke
       Corona

Alaskan Smoked Porter
Yuengling
Middle Ages ImPaled Ale
Lowenbrou
Samual Adams

In that order..

new belgium brewery Fat Tire, after a few of those anything else will do

i drank a Spaten tonight in honor of this thread...


how can i wait until next October for it to be sold again??????

Depends completely on the kind of beer it is, like any other country. A light lager will obviously have a lower alc content than a double bock or a stout. Don't judge US beer on Budweiser, Coors, Miller, etc. We have hundreds of great microbreweries that are on par with imports. See if you can track down any Rogue Ale or Racer 5 IPA.

I grew up in Boston, so I love me some Sam Adams. 

victory hopdevil for sure.

anything DFH is good.

but, ill drink pretty much anything.

hoegarden some tasty stuff

Try a Sierra Nevada Hefe when you're there. Pretty popular beer.

I'll have a samuel jackson

Stella for sure!!!

forgot staropramen. good stuff.

never found it stateside, though. :(

Jay, you and your Guiness.  I don't think you'll ever drink anything else.  BUT, try Abita Turbodog -- it's really dark, bitter, and heavy, and I hate it.  But since I love hefeweizens, Blue Moon, ambers, etc., we're not really going to agree on the same beer.  My favorite beers ever are Allagash White and Abita Amber. 

gimmie a Heiniken and I'm a happy man.

well since its about that time im going to have to say Great Lakes Brewery X-Mas Ale. seriously good stuff!
