Bud Light! :wacko:
Overview of favorite beers (and cocktails/shots) per state:
http://intoxicationnation.forhangovers.com/#topbeers
So, Siege is in Oklahoma or Indiana?
A light beer is their favourite? What is this, Sweden?
Well, the graphic claims Blue Moon is America's favorite beer, and Blue Moon is not a light beer.
But that seems to me that is just based on it being voted the favorite in the greatest number of States, but a lot of those States are very low population.
If we were counting by electoral votes it would've been:
Blue Moon: 178
Coors Light: 18
Sam Adams: 67
Corona: 59
Yuengling: 98
Bud Light: 108
Miller Lite: 10
So Blue Moon still would get the largest share even going roughly by population (as EV is the quickest proxy I can create without actually using real population numbers and just playing around with "make your own Electoral College" maps online.) So non-light beers would get 402 EVs, light beers would only get 136.
I mostly drink Bud Light. :Embarrass:
Does Bud Light even count as beer?
How is American beer like having sex in a canoe?
They're both fucking pretty close to water.

Blue Moon, you left me standing alone. Without a drink in my hand, without a love of my own.

OE, Schlitz, Colt 45?

Loved those hefty Colt .45 40 ounces in college. One 40 oz lasted me for quite a while. :D
Schlitz we got in the tall cans, the way Artie Donovan said God intended.
There was a fad for Colt 45 and some other similar US beers in the UK back in the seventies, they came in 440ml cans IIRC and were reasonably cheap as this was an active attempt to break into the British market. I think they came in a couple of years after the "Red Revolution" which introduced Watney's red barrel to an unimpressed public.............market share must have seem ripe for the picking; Harp lager, a rather feeble lager made by Guinness was also grabbing market share at the time. Most of these not great beers were later swamped by the revival of real ales and imported beers from the Continent.
Harp...
Oh Yes. "Harp, Stays Sharp to the bottom of the Glass."
Or something like that. :rolleyes:
In heaven, Valmy's gonna sit around drinking Harp Lager.

You know, for being the McBeeriest of beers, Bud has a damn good looking label.

I'm surprised that Labatt or Blue Light aren't in the top 3 for Michigan; those are ubiquitous throughout the state. :Canuck:

Grumbler is just impersonating the bitter after taste of some American beers.
I get the feeling mongers has never tasted American beer.
Quote from: Admiral Yi on October 27, 2013, 06:50:38 PM

I'm willing to make a bet here and now that Monger has tasted an American beer at least once in his life.
You'll need to give me odds.
And BTW, when I win, i expect payment.
I don't know how the odds things you and Dguller work. :(
Quote from: Razgovory on October 27, 2013, 07:12:59 PM

Think of them as percentage probabilities.
For example, a 1-1 (even money) bet means the probability is around 50% of either outcome.
If you bet 2-1, that means a 66.6% probability.
3-1 = 75%.
4-1 = 80%.
And so on and so forth.
Okay. Thinking about this, we have no way to verify anything except what Mongers says and I'm not sure if Mongers likes me more then he likes you.

Leaving aside it was part of a joke. :rolleyes:
Off the top of my head, budweiser, coors, I too remember colt.45 mentioned by Tricky; you have to remember I was a teenager in the 1970s, a time when most things 'American' were cool, so I'd have probably tried most drinks tagged with an American label whether it was or not.
I also recall red stripe, dreadful stuff, which I think must have been a UK invention ?
edit:I looked it up, Red stripe is from Jamaica, well I guess it's western hemisphere and 'foreign'
Left Hand is my new brew company of choice. In particular, I really enjoy their Milk Stout.
Out of those listed, Yeungling is probably my favorite, but I haven't had it since I lived in Florida. It isn't sold here in Texas. Kind of surprised Miller Lite wasn't included in this. That one would probably do well too.

I've never had anything bad from them. Their holiday stuff, in particular, is tasty as hell. And the milk stout is good in the right place, just like anything else. I usually have it late at night, relaxing with friends. It's a good end-of-the-day drink, imo.
Any milk stout I've ever had has been so sickly sweet for me it was a struggle to finish it. First one I ever had (Mackeson Stout), I thought it was a bad batch or something. Everyone's taste is different, though. I like sour ales & know several people who can't stand them.
You drink much lambic Forehead?

That would be a relief. I heard that in Heaven there is no beer.
But yes I get your reference. Well done.
I actually like Blue Moon, for a big label beer it's not bad.
US craft beer and British craft are very cool right now. Which is a good thing.
I'm most outraged that rum and coke is apparently a cocktail :blink:
Edit: And that's a disgrace given how many greats America's given the world :weep:

Beer in the 70s and 80s was generally awful, fizzy, weak, tastless piss. Harp, Hofmeister, Coors etc. Our generic crap beers are the same as American crap generic beers.
Fortunately in both countries taste has returned and there are some fantastic beers of lots of different types around.

A highball is supposed to be an strong base in a big portion of mixer or non-alcoholic drink. Scotch and soda, bourbon and water, Cuba Libre, gin and tonic.

Oh, I like a good sour ale, too, but I have to have them with a solidly acidic meal, like lasagna or something like that.
Beer, to me, is a lot like wine. With so many different varieties, you can drink the right beer with the right foods and circumstances. To just sit around and drink with friends when watching a game or something like that, generally I prefer Sam Adams or a good hard cider. The more specialty (ie expensive stuff) I'll try to pair with the right kinds of foods because I'm likely to only have one or two of them at a time.

Two cases came back with me from Hotlanta. :beer:
I was a huge fan of Yuengling back when I lived in Delaware-- it could be had for $4.50/6-pack & I liked the way it tasted. Spending several years out of their distribution area (didn't make it to Ohio until a couple years ago), I had sort of forgotten what it tasted like. Now when I taste it, whatever adjuncts they use (either corn or rice-- probably corn) bug the hell out of me.
I still like the Black & Tan, though.
