    Corona is #1, (it is bottled and imported by Budweiser). All those Busch products are failing because they SUCK! Heineken tastes like shit compared to the real stuff sold in Holland. Most domestic brewed beer tastes like crap because it's too mass produced. Even Coors doesn't taste as good as it used to. Stick to hard liquor, it's better for you.

    All of those beers listed taste like piss imo, so it's not a big loss.

    I think a lot of American beer drinkers have become more savvy over the last decade or two as to what constitutes real beer. Pale, watery, tasteless swill is not accepted as the norm in other parts of the world, and never has been. The US is finally catching up with countries like Germany, Belgium, Czechslovakia, England, Scotland, etc. in this regard.

    I hear that, I loved it in a bottle. I hear Pabst is selling it but it's hit or miss trying to find it around here. Don't know if it still has the flavor I liked.
    Good stuff

    The Octoberfest has a very good flavor this year.

    As for Miller Lite, I always liked Miller High Life Light better, and it's usually cheaper. Why it's so hard to find around here I don't know.

    That's a list of swill. If I'm gunna drink swill, it wil be PBR in the bottle or from the tap, it is supirior to every beer on that list.

    Good beer ranked...
    1) Newcastle (Bottles 12 packs ONLY, the clear bottles need the box to keep the light out)
    2) Shiner Bock
    3) Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat
    4) Guiness
    5) Stella Artois
    6) Leinenkugel's Classic Amber and Original
    7) Left Hand Milk Stout
    8) Hofbrauhaus Oktoberfest
    9) Paulaner Octoberfest
    10) Blue Moon

    Anyone of those would do you right.

    In the interest of full disclosure, I have been know to down some PBR's when the temp is soaring outside. And no, I've never been a big Heinekin drinker:

    My current favorite beer is Schlitz. It used to be the most popular beer in the world, then they changed their brewing process and were bankrupt and gone in a few years. Over the years, the name was stuck on all sorts of ghetto swill that had nothing to do with the original.

    For a few years now, the real stuff is being made and slowly catching on. It used to be very hard to find. It's now showing up in some of the trendy bars ans restaurants in my city and is sold in practically every grocery store.

    A little known fact about beer is that it can be useful in determining if you are an asshole. The way it works is, if the beer(s) YOU like are the only acceptable beers, and everything else is horse piss, you are an asshole.

    I'm glad someone brought this stuff up. Yeah, as recently as a few years ago, Schlitz was $2.50/6 pack horse piss. The company went to tremendous lengths to recreate the 1960's recipe, including digging up old Schlitz purchase manifests and interviewing retired brewmasters from the old days. What they created is an awesome, traditional American-style lager: still relatively light bodied, but a complex and flavorful beer. Anyone who has a chance to try it, I highly recommend it, especially if you can find it on tap.

    I just hope their marketing can overcome years of Schlitz being known as undrinkable swill, because it would be great to see one of the classic American brands revived.

    Before I had kids, I used to drink premium beer, but when the kids came, I had to cut back so I learned to drink cheap beer and like it. Now, I mostly drink Milwaukee's Best, or if I'm in a bar, I order Coor's Light draft.

    I used to drink Budweiser, but now that crap gives me one hell of a headache.

    In college, we used to buy Haufbrau at $6 a case...cheap, strong-flavored, but after the first beer, the rest went down smoothly. I miss that beer. It was a great breakfast beer!

    For the past 2-3 years, I've pretty much stopped drinking...just lost the urge to have any. I've had the same beer in the fridge since last Christmas. Whoop.

    I just got a 12 pack for old time's sake a few months ago. It's pretty awful stuff. Not nasty tasting, just very little taste whatsoever.

    But it IS fully kreusened, for whatever that's worth.
