BEER! What brand do you recommend?
 

I'm 47 years old and have only drank four brands of beer in my life: Bud Lite, Miller Lite, Mich Ultra and Corona Lite. Not only that, but it seems like all my friends drink those brands too. I want to expand my horizons so please suggest another brand I should try. Here are some general guidelines:

1. It should be available in most grocery stores, so no exotic beers that you have to go searching for or special order.

2. It should be in the same general price range of the brands I already mentioned.

If you have a brand you think I MUST try that doesn't meet those two criteria, go ahead and suggest it. I might not try it but others may find the suggestion useful.

Here's one more thing: I've never fallen in love with the taste of beer. I just like to drink it if I'm out with friends, have some pretzels or want to get a cheap buzz. So if you can recommend a beer that actually tastes really good (smooth, no after taste) I'll be your friend for life. Heck, I may even buy you a beer someday!

Cheers!

Guinness or Sam Adams

Dont know if you get John Smiths extra smooth out in the USA but that and Bud are two of my fav beers

One of the nicest beers I've had is a 1664 - french, but surprisingly, on tap in a lot of other places.

Alternatively, if you want beers that don't taste like watered down urine with bubbles, try some micro-brewery beers - the whole range, blonde, blanche, amber, brown etc - they are generally a hell of a lot tastier - and represent as beverages in their own right :)

Boddingtons
Pyramid Heffeweisen

:helpme you are a poor poor man. you have no idea what you have missed. i would not even consider that stuff you mentioned "beer" - it is yellow water with a light pee aroma.

too bad i can't send you something from over here - the country with the highest beer consumption per person worldwide. if you would taste it you'd know why :drinkup :glugglug

Simply "The King of Beers" Budweiser

If it doesn't conform to the Bavarian purity laws, it's not beer.

I prefer Shiner Bock myself or New Castle

A good micro brew Heffeweisen like the one sold at the Roadhouse bar and grill is my favorite American beer Or a nice Grolsh or Fishers if you have them in your area. Also a Tiger Beer from Thailand or Dortmunder and Kingfisher beer from India. These will keep you occupied for some time :thumbsup:thumbsup

Killians Irish Red is always good, can get it most places

You have really been missing out though.

I agree Pyramid Heffe kicks ass.

I like Anchor Steam.

Peroni or Nastro Azzurro..

Guiness or anything from New Belguim (like Fat Tire, that seems to be all over now)

oh man . . . . :Oh crap

I'd say GUINESS all the way, or a Stout beer of your choice - and you can find them at your local grocer. I love Guiness, and a lot of people seem to hate it because "it's thick" -- yeah, I can see why it reminds people of coffee -- but if you're not particularly fond of the taste of beer, try the real dark ones. It's a different taste all in its own.

try some moosehead. its good stuff.

becks, carlsberg, both good and should be easy to find. But I reckomend you go to a specialist shop and get them to reckomend a few good ones to try out

I'm the type to order something new everywhere I go, especially if there is something local I've never had before. I'd suggest buying a bunch of six packs and trying them all. ;)

new castle and boddingtons

stella is not bad.

lucky lager in canada is both cheap and tasty.

ive always disliked dark beers. tasted like meat and potatoes to me in a smoky glass lol.

Bud Light, Budweiser, Blue Moon, Corona. Any of those will do.

im about 12 bud lights and 4 jager bombs deep right now, so they all taste like water right now.

I liked Olympia. When I was drinking it was about a case a day so it had to be cheap and easy to bring back up if I needed more room.

i like red stripe

New Castle and Pyramid Heffeweisen:thumbsup

kinda hooked on corona beer these days

Molson CaNaDiAn or Kokanee Its the "beer" out here ;)

What he said. :thumbsup

Someone with taste. I can't believe some of the swill mentioned here. :1orglaugh

beer threads rule!

Bud, the king of beers. Stella Artois ain't bad also.

hi there the best beer in world is San Miguel Beer

Hard to say, thousands of brands out there, to my liking, San Miguel, Budweisser, frankciskaner, etc
